WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday that a video circulating online that showed items being tossed out of an upstairs window of the White House was created with artificial intelligence, despite his press team seeming to confirm the veracity of it hours earlier.

Trump, who has boasted of being an expert in building design as he takes on remodeling projects at the White Houseand beyond, told reporters that the video has “got to be fake” because the windows, he said, are heavy and sealed shut.

The video, which circulated Monday, appears to show a small black bag and a long white item being tossed out of a window on the building’s east side.

Trump blamed the video on AI, saying the creation of fake videos was one of the downsides of the technology, but then said, “If something happens that’s really bad, maybe I’ll have to just blame AI.”

Hours earlier, the White House seemed to verify that the video was real when it told several news outlets that inquired about the video that it was “a contractor who was doing regular maintenance while the President was gone.”

The White House did not respond to a message later Tuesday about the discrepancy.

“If something happens that’s really bad, maybe I’ll have to just blame AI.”

Trump: "Did I say that out loud? I meant to be just thinking it."

It cannot be repeated enough times how incredible stupid that man is. His stupidity is only unmatched by his arrogance, unfortunately arrogance is all it takes for people to take him seriously apparently.

He’s also pontificating on getting into heaven now too. He has to talk in circles to distract from leaking what’s on his mind and what he’s been advised about/told to remember.

Wait. ¿¡What‽ LOL the man is an avowed enemy of God. His entire life has made him a nominee for "stupidest timeline antichrist." The very ground he treads curses him for being as evil as he is stupid.

Maybe he oughtta read a Bible instead of just clumsily, ignorantly waving it around with his disgusting little molesty-mitts.

They even make ones with pictures now so he could figure it out, or he could have a staffer read it to him.

I bet it'd be quite eye-opening for him to find out Heaven is not a destination for unrepentant, power obsessed would-be emperors, exploiters, blasphemers, murderers, rapists, liars, userers, and manipulators.

If he truly cared where he's headed when his bloated, dessicated husk finally gives up any day now, he's got very little time left to do a whole lot of repenting, yet he's still super busy aspiring to be Adolf'ollini Caligula the Terrible Mad Orange King, sooo. . . we're all a bit confused.

He could always start with an open confession of those files sooner than later. As the book of Numbers states: Your sins will always find you out.

I bet he thinks he's gonna get to "make a deal" when he's out of time.
