President Donald Trump reacted to a video circulating online of something appearing to be thrown out of a White House window, saying it was “probably AI-generated.”
“There’s a video that is circulating online now of the White House where a window is open to the residents upstairs, and somebody has thrown a big bag out the window. Have you seen this?” Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked the president at an unrelated Oval Office event on Tuesday.
“No, that’s probably AI-generated,” Trump replied. “Actually, you can’t open the windows. You know why? They’re all heavily armored and bulletproof.”
“So, that’s a fake video?” Doocy followed up.
“Well, it’s got to be, because I know every window up there. The last place I’d be doing it is that, because there’s cameras all over the place, right? Including yours,” the president responded.
Trump even said his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, complained about being unable to get fresh air to come into the White House due to the sealed windows.
“Number one, they’re sealed. And number two, each window weighs about 600 pounds. You have to be pretty strong to open them up. No, that has to be. Where was the window?” the president asked, prompting Doocy to approach him to show him the video.
“It looks like this is on the 15th Street side, I think,” Doocy said.
“Yeah, those windows are sealed,” Trump remarked.
“One of the problems we have with AI — it’s both good and bad. If something happens really bad, just blame AI. But also they create things, you know, it works both ways. If something happens, it’s really bad, maybe I’ll have to just blame AI. But there’s truth to it because I see so many phony things,” the president continued. “It’s a little bit scary, to be honest with you.”
