Trump, 78, Posts Bizarre AI Video of Himself Rocking Out to Journey

Here’s two minutes you’ll never get back.

Always a fan of flattery no matter how unrealistic, President Donald Trump shared a surreal video on Saturday of an AI-generated version of himself performing Journey’s massive hit “Don’t Stop Believing” in front of a flag-waving crowd. Initially sitting at the world’s most patriotic piano in a plain suit, he later transitions to a red, white, and blue outfit to shred a guitar as cheerleaders dance behind him for some reason—before it abruptly changes to show Trump banging away on a drum kit. Fortunately, the creator of the video didn’t attempt to generate AI vocals of Trump singing. The choice of song is also a contentious one: After Journey’s keyboard player performed it for Trump at Mar-a-Lago in 2022, his former bandmate sent him a cease-and-desist letter which said, in part, “Journey is not, and should not be, political,” calling the performance a “harmful use of the brand.”
