Is Donald Trump’s video, posted by the White House after Charlie Kirk’s shooting, AI-generated? Several social media users are sharing clipped portions of the footage, claiming “it looks very much like an AI avatar of Trump delivering an official message."

An X user, who goes by the name @MattBinder, wrote: “His body and hands barely move for the entire video. Also…they missed this weird glitch… what’s going on here".

As the claims of AI-generated content surfaced, AI-focused WhatsApp groups lit up with debate. Some users argued the clip was AI-generated, while others believed it was a genuine speech that had simply been altered with a morph transition, a common video-editing technique used to seamlessly merge disjointed segments.
