Anatomy of a Digital Deception
A viral video purportedly showing Donald Trump Jr. advocating for the United States to send weapons to Russia instead of Ukraine has been confirmed as entirely fake by multiple sources. The sophisticated AI-generated content was widely shared across social media platforms, including accounts with large followings on X.
The falsified clip depicted Trump Jr. making controversial statements about Ukraine, suggesting Russia would be a better ally due to its substantial resources and size.
