White House champagne video of Trump family sparks backlash amid high costs
- On Saturday, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino posted an AI-generated video showing himself, Eric Trump, and others riding a gilded luggage cart while popping champagne at the White House.
- Scavino captioned the clip as a response to the state dinner held for Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday, claiming he felt inclined to share his experience "in complete transparency, with the American People."
- Conservative activist Carrie Prejean Boller criticized the post as a "tone deaf AI video," arguing that many Americans struggle to afford groceries, gas, and mortgage payments while officials celebrate at the People's House.

- The incident reflects how AI-generated imagery has increasingly blurred the line between satire and political simulation, with multiple exaggerated scenarios spreading across social media platforms amid broader election-year tensions.
