President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video of himself playing with a tiger, and people are not reacting well.
The clip comes after a man was mauled to death after landing in a tiger enclosure at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, and users believe that the Trump clip was in poor taste because of how similar it appears to be to that footage.
Watch:

In the video. Trump rolls around on the ground with a tiger while “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” plays in the background. While this might normally be seen as a fun, whimsical use of AI generation, the current context has resulted in a wave of backlash, with many people believing that the president should delete the video.
Look:
This is appallingly tasteless.
Delete it, President @realDonaldTrump .— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 14, 2026
He is a psychopath and he is psychotic.
What’s it going to take to get the American media to talk about it?

Everyone realises that Trump is mentally unstable…
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM?
Are they mentally unstable as well?America has become the laughing stock of the world. https://t.co/6yyLxX0uos

A young man suffering from severe mental illness was attacked and killed by a tiger in the UK after entering its enclosure. The President of the United States decided to mock his death by creating and posting this video.
What have we become? https://t.co/Oj1TJ99nro

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY? A man is killed by a tiger, and Trump posts AI slop of himself wrestling one to prove what a big tough guy he is? This is a whole new level of sick and disturbing. https://t.co/hh5g63ONRe

Even knowing he’s an amoral, certifiable, piece of filth, somehow I’m still disappointed that he’s done this.

Hopefully this at least convinces some of his followers to try it
…actually no because the tigers might get shot

This is beyond fucked up. It’s the deranged fantasies of a lunatic. I hope the family of that young man mauled to death sues this Mfer’s ass.
