Trump's AI-generated videos spark debate over psychological warfare

Friday, 4 September 2026, 06:21 · 1 min read

US President Donald Trump has sharply increased his use of AI-generated content in recent months, including posting videos depicting simulated military strikes on Iranian infrastructure. His administration has described the posts as "sending a message," but the ambiguity of the content — blurring the line between political memes and credible threats — has left foreign governments and analysts struggling to determine how seriously to take them. Critics warn that the deliberate use of fabricated imagery to intimidate or signal intent could constitute a form of psychological warfare with real diplomatic consequences.
