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.

'We where having issues with our maintenance and decoded it would be easier to just have the trash tossed out the window that day' is what I would have said.

How else is he going to sneak out the files for Papa Putin?

This looks like AI. The second object straight up disappears as it leaves the window.

What is the significance of something being thrown out a window?

Edit:

I would love to hear the rationale for the downvote.

Practicing the art mastered by Putin?

Who knows. But Watergate started with tape on a doorlock.

This is of no concern. Great president trump has no need for such things as throwing out of window. Certainly there is nothing to see here.
