WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday that a video circulating online that showed items being tossed out of an upstairs window of the White House was created with artificial intelligence, despite his press team seeming to confirm the veracity of it hours earlier.
Trump, who has boasted of being an expert in building design as he takes on remodeling projects at the White Houseand beyond, told reporters that the video has “got to be fake” because the windows, he said, are heavy and sealed shut.
The video, which circulated Monday, appears to show a small black bag and a long white item being tossed out of a window on the building’s east side.
Trump blamed the video on AI, saying the creation of fake videos was one of the downsides of the technology, but then said, “If something happens that’s really bad, maybe I’ll have to just blame AI.”
Hours earlier, the White House seemed to verify that the video was real when it told several news outlets that inquired about the video that it was “a contractor who was doing regular maintenance while the President was gone.”
The White House did not respond to a message later Tuesday about the discrepancy.
“If something happens that’s really bad, maybe I’ll have to just blame AI.”
Trump: “Did I say that out loud? I meant to be just thinking it.”
It cannot be repeated enough times how incredible stupid that man is. His stupidity is only unmatched by his arrogance, unfortunately arrogance is all it takes for people to take him seriously apparently.
Holy crap it’s real
“He says what we’re all thinking!”
–Stupid, arrogant people
“a contractor who was doing regular maintenance while the President was gone.”
So, is it normal for a contractor to be throwing bags out the window at the White House, that the President believes is “600lbs, bulletproof, and can’t be opened”?
Seems sus.
Well if anyone can get the window open, it’s probably that contractor, and if anyone would spend an hour cutting a window open to avoid going up and down some stairs a few times, it’s any contractor ever.

I did laugh out loud to that. 😂
while the President was gone
Where he gone tho
Hell
If only.
Art of the deal
Shedding his skin.
Sure. Someone spent time and resources to create an AI video of an unidentifiable person throwing unidentifiable objects out a window. For some reason. That seems like a perfectly logical conclusion.
Yeah, especially when the alternative explanation is that a habitual liar is lying again.
He doesnt even take the effort to lie, just says whatever he thinks works for him best at the time. It seems like a reflex at this point
He’s the type of person that only ever tells the truth accidentally.
Real news here: the windows can be opened.
Tbh I’m pretty surprised too. I would have thought that whole damn building was completely locked down in the case of even chemical attack
Windows can be both airtight and openable.
Moving parts means more things to possibly go wrong in an attack though. And the things that make it air tight wear so it’s something else to check preferably often.
Nah I’m sure there’s tech now to make it air tight even while fully open, so it’ll prevent anything from passing through while allowing anything to pass through.
Trump doesn’t want Putin to know about the windows ability to open.
Whatever Trump says, unless it’s hateful, always assume it’s the opposite.
Here we go.
Police britality against protestors is “AI”, russian invasion of Ukraine is “AI”, a video of trump telling his people to attack the capitol in 2021 is “AI”, Tiananmen Square Massacre is “AI”.
Truth is over, you can shoot someone on 5th avenue in broad daylight, and say any video of the murder to be “AI”.
Welcome to the new era! Truth are lies and lies are truth.
So AI is just photoshop with less steps?
With less skill and effort needed.
The time to results ratio is quite exceptional, I hate to admit
This is why its a net negative. Nothing good at all will come of it and if it does it will be negated by a far more nefarious evil.
The video in question

Lies lies lies. I personally don’t care if they’re throwing out his shit stained sheets but he’s a fucking liar. Everything he said is a lie and then accuses the media of making fake news. Yeah let’s create a fake story of a trash bag going out the window.
I saw all these on Colbert and the order they told events including the part about people wondering if Trump died had me going “How do we know this video of Trump saying the bag video is AI isnt AI itself, and he actually is dead?”
I hate to get all conspiracy theory, but the guy knew that a Congressional hearing on the Epstein Files was happening. He is a skilled manipulator. So what does he do to suck all the air out of DC? Nothing. He takes a few days off, his social media goons see the “is he dead?” stuff on X - I’m not even sure that they didn’t push it - and then anything he did at any point would be the lead news. So he trots out a super-size nothingburger and the media can. not. get. enough.
Did that hearing make the “Breaking!” Fox News chiron? Nope. Totally drown out by this guy.
This is the beginning of the Great Rubbish Defenestration Scandal that will finally bring this administration to its knees.
It’s always something you’d never guess.
White House officials claim it was a contractor doing work while Trump was out. Supposedly contractors are not allowed in the White House. Not sure what’s going on but I am sure we will never get answers until Trump is long gone or dead.

Well, you can be sure it wasn’t Trump going through the effort of throwing something.
Is this the first time a major politician has claimed something to be AI in order to deflect criticism?
“I believe it’s pronounced A1”
He shit everywhere and cleaner was like ‘ah hell no’ and threw it out as the quickest way to get rid of the horrendous stench
