The Deep View: President Donald Trump … Blame it on AI


AI IMPLICATIONS Trump’s latest defense: Blame it on AI


President Donald Trump is blaming AI for a viral video showing trash bags being tossed out of a White House window, even after his own press team offered a conflicting explanation. The clip posted on X shows trash bags flying from a top-floor window inside the president’s residence. Shared by thousands, the video itself has been viewed more than 10 million times.

At a Tuesday press briefing in the Oval Office, Trump dismissed the video, saying “that’s probably AI-generated.”“Actually, you can’t open the windows. You know why? Because they are all heavily armored and bulletproof.” Trump went on to say the first lady had complained that she couldn’t let fresh air in because the windows are sealed, bulletproof, and each weighs about 600 pounds, so “you have to be pretty strong to open them up.” Watching the video from a reporter’s phone, Trump seized the moment to make a wider point about the problems with AI.  “It’s the kind of thing they do. And one of the problems we have with AI, it’s both good and bad. If something happens really bad, just blame AI. But also they create things … I saw something as I was growing up from the time I was a baby till now. I said, ‘who did that?’ It was AI-generated. So, it’s a little bit scary to be honest with you.”  President Donald TrumpTrump’s latest AI defense fits a familiar pattern of the president using technology as a scapegoat during viral moments or political controversy. In August 2024, during his presidential campaign, Trump falsely accused Kamala Harris of using AI to inflate the size of the crowd at her rally in Detroit earlier that month. While running for the GOP nomination in 2023, he took to the platform accusing his opponents of using AI “in their fake television commercials” to make him look “pathetic.” Yet it’s not all about accusations. In May, Trump signed the Take It Down Act into law, criminalizing the publishing of revenge porn, including AI-generated deepfakes, a key initiative by the first lady to protect victims of digital exploitation.
