Footage claiming to show President Donald Trump falling on a lawn recently went viral — but it turns out the video was generated by artificial intelligence.
The viral clip
An image shared on X appeared to show a blurry Trump lying in the grass following an apparent fall. The post racked up more than 1.8 million views, with many users believing it was real. In the bottom-left corner, a caption read, “Trump is in the Epstein files.” Some users replied with AI-generated videos made using Grok, depicting Trump crawling across the grass — but those, too, were fake.
AI strikes again
This isn’t the first time Trump has been the subject of AI-generated misinformation during his second term. Despite being a frequent target, Trump has publicly supported AI and even shared altered content himself — including a fake video of former President Barack Obama being arrested.
When Trump really fell
While the lawn video is fake, Trump did suffer a real stumble earlier this year. After speaking to reporters in Morristown, New Jersey, Trump tripped while boarding Air Force One before heading to Camp David. He wasn’t alone — Secretary of State Marco Rubio, walking just behind him, also appeared to misstep on the stairs.
Presidential falls
Trump joins a list of presidents who’ve taken a tumble on the tarmac. In 2021, former President Joe Biden fell while climbing the steps of Air Force One — an incident his press secretary blamed on the wind, according to ABC News. Trump’s team reportedly used that clip in campaign ads like “Jugular,” “Who Is Laughing Now” and “Not A Young Guy,” aiming to cast doubt on Biden’s fitness for office.
