The 17-second clip shared on X and titled point blank shot circulated widely on social media on Saturday before being removed after public outrage and criticism from opposition politicians.
Donald Trump supercharged his political career by claiming that Barack Obama wasn't American.

It briefly shows the head of the first Black president and that of his wife superimposed onto the bodies of apes. They dance along to "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."
Shortly after the director's death, president Donald Trump himself took to social media to blast him as a "tortured and struggling artist," adding that Reiner was a "deranged person as far as Trump is concerned."
The three-year deal includes more than 200 characters from across Walt Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars; Mufasa to the Mandalorian, Buzz Lightyear to Black Panther.

However, at launch, the app was only available on iOS and required pesky invite codes --but not anymore. On Tuesday, OpenAI announced that the Sora app is also now available for Android devices in the Google Play Store.

Since I can't use the app itself, I thought I'll do a breakdown of what I can actually see - the app icon, it looks simple at first glance but it packs a lot if we can deconstruct it. I'm doing this breakdown as a fun exercise in design appreciation, I know my breakdown will probably not going to align with the authorial intent behind it. If you like this breakdown please share it, now let's dive in.
Outrage spread Monday over President Trump's effort to mock the huge No Kings protests over the weekend by posting an AI video of himself dumping waste on demonstrators. Supporters of the sprawling rallies that drew millions slammed Trump for posting the 18-second clip depicting him wearing a crown and piloting a KING TRUMP warplane over some of the sprawling crowds that gathered on Saturday to protest his hardline second term in power.
Trump posted the video to his Truth Social on Saturday during the No Kings protests that attracted a reported seven million Americans to approximately 2,600 rallies across the country.
