If you\u2019ve been to an AMC theater in recent years, you\u2019ve seen Nicole Kidman give a monologue about the power of film. It\u2019s been parodied by SNL<\/a> and The Boys<\/a>. Now the White House has taken a crack at its own parody with an AI slop version that feels like a new kind of desecration for President Donald Trump; a desecration of what film lovers consider a sacred video at this point.<\/p>\n

The White House posted the video to YouTube, TikTok, X, and Instagram. \u201cWe come to this place for MAGA. To fight, fight, fight, and win, win, win. Because we need that, all of us,\u201d the video\u2019s narration says. \u201cThe indescribable feeling we get when we hear the national anthem and stand together stronger than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n

The voiceover for the AI slop video continues: \u201cUnder this administration, we\u2019re going somewhere we\u2019ve never been. We aren\u2019t just watching history, we\u2019re making it. Rebuilding our country better than ever. A country where we don\u2019t do heartbreak, we do victory.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAn America that is safer, more secure, more prosperous, and any setbacks that stand in our way simply makes the comeback that much sweeter. Welcome to the Golden Age.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those words, \u201cfight, fight fight,\u201d are certainly ominous while paired with a MAGA hat at the White House. President Trump attempted a self-coup<\/a> on January 6, 2021, after losing the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden, directing his followers to storm the U.S. Capitol, where they tried to stop the certification of the election by Congress.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s attempt at staying in office failed, and he never faced justice. But he constantly talks about remaining in the White House after his term ends in January 2029. And it\u2019s easy to imagine a world where Trump declares that he needs to remain in office for the good of the country.<\/p>\n

There are obviously many issues with the video, including the ridiculous idea that you could wear a backwards hat underneath a hooded sweatshirt like that without it protruding in the most awkward way imaginable. There\u2019s also just the fact that you\u2019ve got some MAGA dipshit roaming the White House and all he finds is a large screen playing some images of Trump.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re wondering why the video didn\u2019t just direct the AI avatar to the White House Movie Theater, that might be related to the fact that Trump tore it down. The space was an old coat closet until it was converted in 1942 into a movie theater by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was located in the East Wing, which Trump tore down last year without consulting Congress.<\/p>\n

The White House has turned off comments on YouTube, but the commentary about the video varied across other platforms. One popular comment on Instagram read, \u201cIt\u2019s giving Scientology commercials,\u201d while another read, \u201cWhen is it going to start being golden? When does it get cheaper for us? All talk no action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s defenders were in the minority on Instagram, but there were some people who tried to boost the president\u2019s spirits, with one writing, \u201cBringing back patriotism from the woke terms of 44 and 46!! MAGA.\u201d<\/p>\n

TikTok comments seemed to be the most positive, though anti-Trump folks on the site seem to be most obsessed with the Epstein files, with one person writing, \u201cAre you going to do a trailer for the release of the Epstein files?\u201d Another wrote, \u201cFyp think im an uneducated fool,\u201d apparently a reference to that user being served the video by the algorithm.<\/p>\n

Which brings us to another uncomfortable reality. TikTok was purchased by allies of President Trump, and he constantly brags about how popular he is on the platform. Other social media sites are run by pro-Trump oligarchs as well, including Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s Facebook and Instagram or Elon Musk\u2019s X.<\/p>\n

The midterm elections are just three months away on Nov. 3, and Trump has been doing everything he can to stack the deck in favor of the Republicans. But Americans should probably be most worried about what\u2019s going to happen from Nov. 4 onward. The gloves will be off, and Trump will have no political considerations to restrain him anymore. Jan 6th was likely only a preview of the horrors to come. And every AI slop video feels like a hint of the world that we\u2019re about to enter. If history is any guide, it\u2019s not going to be pretty.<\/p>\n
