Trump Posts AI Hockey Highlight Of Himself Winning Olympic Gold

President Donald Trump posted a video on his Truth Social account early Monday that shows him in a computer‑generated hockey highlight reel set during the United States’ Olympic victory over Canada. The clip, crafted with artificial intelligence, portrays Trump skating past defenders, fighting on the ice and ultimately scoring a goal amid teammates embracing in celebration.

The video, hosted on Truth Social by the president himself, depicts a fictionalized version of him as a leading figure on the U.S. Olympic hockey team. In the accompanying Truth Social caption, adviser Kari Lake dubbed the figure “Trump, The ENFORCER!” — language Trump shared on his own account.

The footage bears no official connection to the Winter Olympics results or any Olympic roster, and has not been published by the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee or any sporting authority. Rather, it originates from an AI‑generated clip circulated on social media and then reposted by Trump’s account on his platform.

On the same day, the president’s account also featured traditional congratulatory posts directed at Team USA following their gold medal win — standard practice for sitting presidents when American athletes succeed on the global stage.

The Truth Social video contrasts sharply with how official Olympic coverage is typically presented. It blends real‑time sports results with digitally fabricated imagery of a sitting head of state engaged in athletic competition. The White House press office did not immediately provide a statement explaining whether the post was directly produced by Trump, or by outside creators.

Trump’s stunt echoes a White House move from last year, when Canada and former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau got roasted online. After Canada beat the U.S. in the Four Nations Face-Off, Trudeau said, “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.” The White House paired his quote with a bald eagle sinking its claws into a Canadian goose, all while Trump was publicly threatening tariffs and joking about making Canada the 51st state.

The AI clip is the latest in a series of digitally manipulated or self‑referential posts Trump has shared on Truth Social. In recent months, he has drawn scrutiny for circulating AI content featuring public figures — including a video that depicted former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as monkeys, which led to bipartisan criticism and was later deleted.

Independent reporting from outlets like The Guardian noted that Trump’s online activity “fits into three categories: attacking perceived foes, reposting praise and posting no‑context images or videos of himself,” observing he sometimes shares AI-generated self‑depictions without clear explanation.

Across social media, the video became a talking point more for its digital absurdity than for any athletic relevance. Many users stressed that Team USA’s real achievements were being overshadowed.

In separate posts this weekend, Trump also targeted U.S. freestyle skier Hunter Hess with a derogatory comment after the athlete expressed conflicted feelings about representing the United States, drawing pushback from parts of the sports community and media.

At the time of publication, neither Team USA representatives nor the International Olympic Committee had issued statements regarding the AI video.
