The viral video wasn’t the only thing the president dispelled during the press conference Tuesday.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump denied claims circulating over the weekend about a video seemingly showing objects being thrown from a White House window.
A reporter showed the Republican president the viral video during a press conference Tuesday where he announced the relocation of the U.S. Space Command.
Trump was quick to deny the claims, saying that it wasn’t possible as the windows of the White House are sealed because they’re bulletproof. He then claimed the video was AI-generated and that artificial intelligence “creates things.”
“If something happens that’s really bad, maybe I’ll have to just blame AI,” he said during the press conference.
The president’s comments contradict what White House officials told multiple media outlets over the weekend.
The White House said that the video showing an item being thrown out of a window was a contractor performing maintenance. It was not clear why there was a discrepancy between their version of events and the president’s.
The viral video wasn’t the only thing the president dispelled during the press conference Tuesday, his first public event in a week.
Fake rumors about Trump’s death swirled on social media, despite him being spotted at his golf course during the weekend.
When asked seen the weekend social media posts indicating he was no longer living, the president initially said “Really? I didn’t see that” and then talked about his activities over recent day.
Trump said despite a lack of public appearances up until Tuesday that he did “numerous” interviews and had some “pretty poignant” posts on his social media site. The president said he went to visit “some people” at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia as well.
“I was very active over the weekend,” Trump said.
