LOADINGERROR LOADING The White House has responded in a peculiar manner to a video generated by AI that appears to show President Donald Trump dropping waste on participants in the “No Kings” rally. When Entertainment Weekly reached out to the White House about the president’s use of “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins in the video, the communications team responded in an unconventional way with a meme from the 1986 movie “Top Gun,” which featured the song, with the words “I feel the need for speed” written over the image. Advertisement The White House did not immediately respond to HuffPost for comment. Late on Saturday, Trump shared the disturbing video, which showed him dropping feces on protestors at what appeared to be the rally location in Times Square, in New York City. In a separate post, another AI-generated video shows Trump placing a crown on his head, while former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is seen bowing to the president. The video was originally posted by Vice President JD Vance on BlueSky. Advertisement Following the post, Loggins issued a stern response to Trump via his website and also shared the same thoughts with Variety. “This is an unauthorized use of my performance of ‘Danger Zone.’ Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately,” Loggins wrote on his website on Monday.

We’re all Americans, and we’re all patriotic. There is no ‘us and them’ – that’s not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It’s all of us.”
