The video went viral on social media, with many users misconstruing it as a real video of Trump fainting. The end of the video showing Trump being thrown into the dustbin makes it clear that it is AI-generated. But the claim that Trump fainted gained traction as social media pages used screengrabs from the video on thumbnails to mislead viewers.
