Oval Office address hit with AI claims… President’s hands and shirt appear to glitch

by

Donald Trump’s Oval Office address about the assassination of Charlie Kirk has been hit with claims that the video was made using artificial intelligence.

Andy Signore, who hosts YouTube channel Popcorned Planet, shared a slow-motion segment from the video saying that Trump’s finger ‘disappears’ in the edit.

The White House has condemned the claim as a ‘deranged conspiracy theory’.

‘Um that Trump speech was AI… His pinky DISSAPPEARS!’ Signore claimed on X.

‘I don’t care if it was just an edit – Trump sued 60 Minutes for MILLIONS over just an edit!’ he added, referring to the president’s lawsuit against CBS for allegedly biased editing of an interview with Kamala Harris, who was vice president at the time.

‘Now they can just use AI when they want!? Can you imagine if President Biden got caught using AI to edit a speech!? This is outrageous,’ Signore said.

However, the pinky’s ‘disappearance’ appears to be just an illusion when Trump’s hand blurred for a moment – as social media users were quick to point out.

‘It’s very obviously a Morph Cut in Premiere Pro. This is at least two takes cut together,’ one X user replied.

‘Lol it is very clearly not AI. Come on bro,’ another person added alongside two laughing-face emojis, while another said: ‘It’s a morph cut, dummy.’

As the president speaks, his hands and shirt appear to glitch slightly.

Many viewers are chalking up the glitch to AI usage, criticizing the White House for seemingly using the technology to address an assassination on X.

“Uhhhh, can some of the bigger accounts start talking about the Trump Oval Office address being AI. This is a pretty big deal,” one user posts alongside a clip of the gitch:
