BREAKING: Trump just blamed the video of people throwing items out of the White House Windows on AI. Problem: The Whi

So so many lies--right on national TV! Nothing new but more lies--which in all probability will not be followed up on





BREAKING: Trump just blamed the video of people throwing items out of the White House Windows on AI.

Problem: The White House has already said that the video was legitimate, claiming, "It was a contractor who was doing regular maintenance while the President was gone."

Why is Trump LYING?

White House Reveals Why Mystery Objects Were Thrown Out Window

The White House said in a statement to Time on Tuesday that the mysterious bag drop was due to “regular maintenance.”

“It was a contractor who was doing regular maintenance while the President was gone,” the White House official said.

The video was widely shared on social media on Monday, with commenters poking fun at the president as speculation swirls that his health has taken a nosedive.

President Trump will make an announcement on Tuesday afternoon focused on the U.S. Space Force—but his physical appearance is likely to steal the show.

I’d read from credible sources that the windows are as Trump described (he actually told the truth?) bulletproof and heavily fortified.

The White House spokesperson told the truth. It was a real video and not AI. Why do some people have such a hard time admitting they were wrong?

White House Says Viral Video of Object Tossed Out Window Was Result of ‘Regular Maintenance’
A video posted online on Monday of a black bag being heaved out of the White House showed maintenance work being done by a contractor, according to a White House official.

The video was originally posted on an Instagram account called “Washingtonianprobs” and spread widely on social media, prompting jokes about White House security protocol and speculation about what was being thrown out. It shows a person wearing white pants stepping a foot out onto a windowsill on the second floor of the White House and tossing down what appears to be a black plastic bag. Later someone tosses something long and white out the window. The second floor of the White House is where the President’s private residence is located.

“It was a contractor who was doing regular maintenance while the President was gone,” the White House official said in a statement in response to questions about the images.

the truth about "routine maintennce" (however defined), why in the FUCKING HELL was that person throwing ANYTHING out a window??? Stupid, careless, potentially dangerous, and totally without one iota of professionalism. We have NEVER seen that sort of activity in OUR HOUSE before.

Here is ChatGPT's response after I asked it:

The most credible conclusion, based on the available information, is that the video is authentic and shows a maintenance-related incident. This is supported by both the White House spokesperson’s statement and the technical assessment by an expert. President Trump’s assertion that it’s AI lacks supporting evidence and contradicts the forensic findings.

Note:
It is confirmed by so-called video forensic experts. The video is real/authentic.
