President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated animated video on Truth Social that depicted a fictionalized, violent press briefing featuring UFC figures. The video, created by X user @DrClownPhD, utilized synthetic media to portray a cartoon version of Dana White acting as White House press secretary and interacting with reporters.
What happened
The animated video depicts a scenario where a cartoon version of Dana White serves as the White House press secretary. In the clip, reporters are physically attacked by various UFC fighters, including Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev, after asking questions about the administration. During the briefing, a cartoon version of UFC heavyweight fighter Josh Hokit responds to a question about whether Michelle Obama is running for office in 2028 by stating, "Michelle Obama is a man!"
This statement mirrors a real-life remark made by Hokit during a UFC event at the White House earlier in the summer. The video serves as a digital iteration of a long-running conspiracy theory regarding the former first lady, which has circulated online since the early 2010s through various manipulated photographs and social media polls. The sharing of this AI-generated content occurred shortly after Trump publicly suggested, then later clarified he was joking, that Dana White could serve as his press secretary.
