Millions protested across the country over the weekend in the second No Kings demonstration against the Trump administration. In response, President Donald Trump mocked the demonstrators with an AI-generated video of himself in a “Top Gun”-inspired fighter jet, bombing protesters with brown sludge to the tune of Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone.”

On Monday, Loggins issued a statement condemning Trump for using his song without permission and the online squabble took over social media.

Trump first posted the 19-second video to Truth Social on Saturday, which showed the president himself wearing a crown and sitting in the cockpit of a military jet with the words “King Trump” painted on the side of the airplane. The video appears to have been created by an X user called Xerias.

In his statement, Loggins said that he had not authorized his song, which was playing in the background as the video depicted Trump piloting a jet over a crowd of protesters in what appeared to be Times Square and — in a bizarre twist — dumped a brown liquid on demonstrators’ heads.

“I can’t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We’re all Americans, and we’re all patriotic. There is no ‘us and them’ – that’s not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It’s all of us. We’re in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us,” Loggins said.

This is not the first AI-generated video Trump has posted on his timeline to mock his political enemies.

Earlier this month, Trump posted an AI-generated clip of Chuck Schumer, the U.S. Senate minority leader, calling his fellow Democrats expletives, as well as a racist depiction of Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic U.S. House leader, dressed in a fake mustache and a sombrero, as reported by The Guardian.

On Saturday, near nearly 7 million people participated in more than 2,700 No Kings protests across all 50 states to show their disapproval of Trump’s administration, according to CNN.

In the Pittsburgh area, TribLive reported that the demonstration gathered thousands to publicly object to Trump’s policies, including the deployment of military guards in U.S. cities.

In Loggins’ comment section on X on Monday, users had mixed reactions with some telling him to sue the president while others posted memes and called the musician irrelevant, saying no one had listened to his music in decades.

Loggins’ statement also requested that his audio be removed from the video.

However, on Monday afternoon, the video with its original audio remained on Trump’s account.
