00:00Trump posts AI video mocking Schumer, Jeffries as shutdown looms.
00:05As the U.S. government inches towards a shutdown,
00:08President Donald Trump turned to an AI video to make fun of two top Democratic leaders.
00:14Trump posted the AI video on social media Monday night shortly after meeting with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
00:19and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, per Politico.
00:23If a government shutdown wasn't already exceedingly likely,
00:26President Donald Trump might have made it a near certainty Monday night.
00:30The video shows the pair at a fake press conference with Schumer lamenting the state of affairs for Democrats
00:35as Jeffries stands by in a sombrero as mariachi music plays in the background.
00:41Nobody likes Democrats anymore.
00:44We have no voters left because of all of our woke, trans Schumer said in the video.
00:49Not even black people want to vote for us anymore.
00:53Even Latinos hate us.
00:54So we need new voters.
00:56And if we give all these illegal aliens free health care,
00:59we might be able to get them on our side so they can vote for us, he continued.
01:04The health care comment appears to reference a talking point from GOP leaders,
01:08including Speaker Mike Johnson,
01:11suggesting that Democrats are pushing to reverse health care provisions,
01:15including those designed to exclude non-citizens from public benefits.
01:19Both Schumer and Jeffries took to X to post a response.
01:22Bigotry will get you nowhere.
01:24Cancel the cuts.
01:25Lower the cost.
01:26Save health care.
01:28We are not backing down.
01:30He later posted a photo of Trump with offender Jeffrey Epstein.
01:33He added,
01:33A senior GOP aide who spoke on the condition of anonymity said after viewing the video,
01:49this might top the last shutdown.
01:51The 2018 to 2019 shutdown,
01:54when Trump was in charge,
01:56lasted a record 35 days.
