Democratic social media influencer Harry Sisson told “Piers Morgan Uncensored” host Piers Morgan on Tuesday that he found no humor in the viral AI-generated video of President Donald Trump dumping a brown substance on him.
The president posted the video on Truth Social Saturday, which consisted of Trump donning a crown and piloting a fighter jet over a “No Kings” protest, appearing to dump feces on demonstrators, particularly Sisson. When Morgan asked Sisson on the show whether he laughed as he initially watched it, the Democrat said he did not, saying it isn’t humorous for a U.S. president to post such content.

“I don’t think the president behaving in this way is funny. I think we have to hold our leaders to a higher standard. That’s something that you typically see in my Twitter comments from, like, some MAGA boomer who spends their time making AI videos all day,” Sisson said. “It’s not something you’d really hope to see from the president of the United States.”
“But alas, we are here. This is the guy leading our country. He’s not serious. And I don’t actually think he cares about anybody but himself,” he continued. “I think he’s more interested in social media beef with a 23-year-old — as the vice president is — than he is in leading the country.”
Sisson also told former CNN host Don Lemon on “The Don Lemon Show” Monday that the video was repulsive and supposedly signified Trump’s desire to assault protesters who demonstrate against him.
“I think this is actually bigger than me. I know that this video was attacking me, but there were also millions of Americans that were also displayed in that video, also getting attacked by the president of the United States,” Sisson told Lemon. “So he’s attacking me in a petty, gross, disgusting way. But I think the more concerning story here is that I think this is his genuine feelings toward peaceful protest — that if he could, he would attack, in some way, shape, or form, the people who dissent.”
Moreover, CNN host Erin Burnett asked House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to address the video on “OutFront” Monday. Jeffries did not find it humorous either.
“[T]hat video is deeply unserious, deeply unpresidential, and deeply un-American,” he said. “But unfortunately, it’s the type of erratic, extreme behavior that the American people have continued to see from this president and from this administration from the very beginning.”
Trump also made Truth Social posts in September featuring edits of Jeffries donning a sombrero and sporting a mustache that enraged the Democratic leader.
