A video posted online on Monday of a black bag being heaved out of a second-story White House window was “probably AI-generated,” President Trump told reporters on Tuesday when asked about it.
Trump added that such a video couldn't be real because "you can't open the windows" in the White House. "They’re all heavily armored and bullet-proof,” he said.
Trump's comments on the viral video came hours after a White House official gave TIME a statement that implied the video’s content was real, and that it showed a contractor doing “regular maintenance."
00:00There's a video, there's a video that is circulating online now of the White House where a window is open to the residents upstairs and somebody is throwing a big bag out the window. Have you seen this? No, that's probably AI generated. So, actually, you can't open the windows. You know why? They're all heavily armored and bulletproof. So that's a fake video? Well, it's got to be because I know every window up there. The last place I'd be doing it is that because his camera
00:29is all over the place, right? Including yours. No, but every window, I've never seen a window that's... In fact, my wife was complaining about it the other day. She said, love to have a little fresh air come in, but you can't. They're bulletproof. And, 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? Let me see.
00:53Maybe for the renovations. Which is the window? It looks like this is on the 15th Street side, I think. So, right here. Yeah, those windows are sealed. Those windows are all... They're all sealed. You can't open them.
01:14It's the kind of thing they do. And one of the problems we have with AI, it's both good and bad.
01:22If something happens really bad, just blame AI. But also, they create things, you know? It works both ways.
