AI Video of Trump Kissing Elon Musk's Feet Plays in HUD Office
An AI-generated video of Donald Trump kissing Elon Musk’s bare feet played on monitors the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
As Donald Trump and Elon Musk prepare to bring their next round of arbitrary cuts to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, it seems like at least one employee is making their displeasure known. On Monday morning, the first day of the Trump administration’s “return to office” ban on remote work, employees at HUD were greeted by a feat of digital protest — or a “foot” of one.
According to videos and photos circulated on social media, televisions at HUD’s central office in Washington, D.C., were hijacked to play an AI-generated video of Trump making sweet, sloppy oral love to Musk’s bare feet. The words “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING” were emblazoned over the visual, likely a reference to recent posts from Trump and the White House describing the president as “the king.”

On a related note, I wonder whether it's actually mandatory to have that portrait of the current President hung on the wall you see in a lot of federal agencies. A lot of them do, but I don't know whether that's actually a requirement.

Looks like it isn't, that it's just a convention.
VERIFY: Are government agencies required to display portraits of current presidents?
We turned to the U.S. General Services Administration, the GSA, to verify our viewer’s question. The simple answer is no, according to the Office of Strategic Communication for GSA, which is an independent agency of the U.S. government that helps manage federal agencies.
It’s response: “There is no regulation that specifies that federal agencies must display portraits of the sitting President and Vice President in the space they occupy. However, GSA displays portraits of the President and Vice President in the public areas of the buildings that GSA owns and operates, including locations leased by GSA, where the building is fully occupied by the federal government.”
I don't know if you're likely to see Trump-kissing-Musk's-feet video displays showing up en masse, but I could certainly imagine agencies removing the portrait of Trump, if there's no requirement to display it.
Wait you display the portrait of the president in government offices? Like in North Korea? HA
Well Canada still puts the monarch up in their gov't offices.
As someone from Romania, who had that policy as well during communist times, I can say that I find that very weird as well. It's just cult of personality and it irks me.
Yeah, it's pretty gross. I grew up outside D.C. and our public school system had portraits of the President and Vice President prominently displayed on either side of the wall clock at the main entrance to the school. No clue if that's still policy.
Not exactly. Usually there's one board in each building that has the whole chain of command. It looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/9lY058X.jpeg
That's for the military, for civilian organizations it looks similar but with people in business suits.
