In the recording, the president faces the Canadian team, repeatedly hitting its players in a digitally generated display of physical strength.
This video has been shared on his Truth Social platform just hours after the US national hockey team became champions at the Winter Olympics held in Italy. The real victory of the United States came after defeating the Canadian team in the final, a context that Trump has used to enhance his image.
In the footage, an agile Trump can be seen, dressed in his usual blue suit and red tie, skillfully maneuvering past all Canadian players. During the game, the US president even takes off his gloves to directly hit his opponents, violently throwing one of them against the field barrier. After overcoming these obstacles, he reaches the goal and scores the winning goal.
At the end of the fictional match, the tone of the sequence changes significantly. After the aggression shown against the Canadian team, the president is seen embracing his own team players in a gesture of camaraderie. This use of AI technology by Trump underscores his strategy of direct communication, blending real sporting success with a narrative of combat and triumph over international competitors.
