Donald Trump released an unusual AI video featuring a digitally altered image with a sombrero and mustache on his Democratic adversaries, stating that ‘nobody likes us anymore.’

The modified clip showing prominent House and Senate Democrats, Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, was released after their White House meeting on Monday aimed at preventing a government shutdown, which JD Vance suggested is probable due to ‘unrealistic’ Democratic demands.

Trump seems frustrated with the Democrats during negotiations, as evidenced by a video he posted on Truth Social that employs artificial intelligence to have Chuck Schumer criticize his own party.

‘Look guys, there’s no way to sugarcoat it: nobody likes Democrats anymore,’ Schumer is made to say by AI. 

In a fake portrayal, Schumer claims voters have abandoned the Democrats ‘because of our woke, trans nonsense’ and that both Black and Latino communities have deserted them.

‘And if we provide all these illegal immigrants free healthcare, we might sway them to support us. They don’t even speak English, so they won’t realize we’re merely a bunch of woke individuals until they learn the language and find out they dislike us, too,’ the artificial Schumer added.

All the while, Jeffries stands silently in a sombrero and mustache while the Mexican Hat Dance plays in the background.

Both Jeffries and Schumer were not amused with the video in responses to social media. 

‘If you think your shutdown is a joke, it just proves what we all know: You can’t negotiate. You can only throw tantrums,’ Schumer wrote to X. 

‘Bigotry will get you nowhere. Cancel the Cuts. Lower the Cost. Save Healthcare. We are NOT backing down,’ Jeffries added, though his post did not directly point to Trump’s video. 

Trump and Vance met with Congressional leaders at the White House on Monday afternoon, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Minority Leader Schumer, and House Minority Leader Jeffries. 

But the talks did not result in much progress.  

Schumer complained that Republicans were not giving Democrats ‘one iota’ of concessions on their part, accusing Republicans of creating a ‘healthcare crisis’ because of their cuts to Medicare. 

Schumer said they had a ‘frank and direct discussion’ with President Trump and said that he felt that some of the concerns they brought up were new to him.

‘Ultimately he’s the decision maker,’ Schumer said,

Jeffries said that Democrats were ‘deadly serious’ about their demands for more healthcare spending. 

‘We’re deadly serious about addressing the Republican caused health care crisis because it’s a deadly serious issue for the American people,’ Jeffries said. 

Vance on Monday predicted a government shutdown this week, citing unrealistic Democratic demands for more spending on healthcare subsidies.

‘I think we’re headed to a shutdown because the Democrats won’t do the right thing,’ Vance told reporters after the meeting. ‘I hope they change their minds, but we’re going to see.’

The government will shut down at 12:01 am Wednesday if Congress cannot pass a funding resolution.  

The vice president criticized Democrats for using the threat of a government shutdown to force Republican concessions in what he said should be a clean continuing resolution. 

‘You don’t put a gun to the American people’s head and say, “Unless you do exactly what Senate and House Democrats want you to do, we’re going to shut down your government,”‘ he said. 

The threat of a government shutdown in the United States has become quite common every year, as the political minority in Congress sees it as an opportunity to make demands from the majority.

The White House typically takes a hard line against a congressional fueled government shutdown, demanding that they continue to pay government employees while they legislate through regular order. 

The Trump White House has threatened severe government cuts if Democrats force a shutdown. 

The White House Office of Management and Budget has briefed federal agencies to prepare for carrying out essential services with minimal staff.

‘We remain hopeful that Democrats in Congress will not trigger a shutdown and the steps outlined above will not be necessary,’ the memo to agencies read.
