President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video to social media on Saturday depicting himself piloting a fighter jet and dumping a sludge of liquified excrement on “No Kings” protesters. Utah’s six Republican members of Congress did not answer questions about the video.
After an estimated 7 million Americans joined the “No Kings” protests on Saturday, including approximately 15,000 people in Salt Lake City, Trump posted the video to Truth Social.
In the 19-second clip, Trump, adorned with a crown, pilots a warplane emblazoned with “King Trump” on the side and dumps diarrhea on a crowd of protesters, including left-wing influencer Harry Sisson, in Times Square.
Utah Political Watch reached out to all six Republicans who represent Utah in Congress to ask if they had any thoughts about the video and whether they felt it was appropriate behavior from the President of the United States. None of them replied.
As of Monday afternoon, none of Utah’s congressional delegation had acknowledged or commented on Trump’s video on their official or social media channels.
House Speaker Mike Johnson defended Trump’s post on Monday, saying the president was “using satire” to make a point. Politico reports that Johnson did not elaborate on what point Trump was trying to make.
