White House in Chaos Over Thrown Objects as Trump Blames AI for Video

The White House was thrown into a bizarre state of damage control on Tuesday after a video showing objects being hurled from a second-story window went viral, leading to a day of conflicting explanations culminating in President Donald Trump himself claiming the video was "probably AI."

The incident, which has dominated news cycles and social media, began when a video surfaced online appearing to show several files, what looks like a crumpled red hat, and a small, gold-colored object being thrown out of a window in the White House residence. The video, seemingly captured by a tourist on the White House lawn, quickly amassed millions of views.

Initial inquiries led to a frantic response from the administration. In an early morning briefing with reporters, a senior White House aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity, attempted to downplay the incident by blaming a third party. The aide claimed a "disgruntled contractor" who had been working on renovations in the private residence was responsible and had been "immediately dismissed and escorted from the premises."

The aide insisted the objects were "nothing more than discarded construction materials" and that the matter had been dealt with swiftly.

However, just a few hours later, that explanation was completely bulldozed by the President himself. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump offered a starkly different and technologically infused defense.

"Just saw a video of some things being thrown out of a window of the beautiful White- in reality, out of a beautiful, brand new window," he wrote. "Don't believe the FAKE NEWS, this is another witch hunt. Looks like a fraud, probably AI, maybe even made by the Deep State. They can do anything now with computers. VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY!"

The President's claim that the video was a synthetic creation immediately contradicted his own staff's on-the-record explanation, leaving the press and public with two conflicting official narratives. It also marks one of the most high-profile instances of a world leader using the specter of AI-generated "deepfakes" to dismiss potentially embarrassing, real-world evidence.

Digital forensics experts who have analyzed the viral clip have so far found no immediate signs of digital manipulation, though they caution that a comprehensive analysis would take more time.

The incident has created a political firestorm, with critics accusing the administration of chaotic messaging and the President of deploying a now-common tactic of crying "AI" to create public doubt and evade accountability. Meanwhile, supporters of the President have amplified his claims, flooding social media with accusations that the video is a sophisticated digital forgery designed to attack him.

As the story continues to unfold, the "thrown objects" video has become less about the items themselves and more about a new and unsettling reality: one where the truth is obscured not just by political spin, but by the ever-present, and convenient, shadow of artificial intelligence.
