President Donald Trump wants Americans to think that the artificial intelligence videos he's posted on social media are just jokes, but they serve a much more nefarious purpose, according to one former Trump world insider.

Michael Cohen, the former attorney for the Trump Organization, argued in a recent Substack essay that Trump's AI-generated videos are actually "Molotov cocktails" meant to "fracture" the American public square. Cohen warned that Trump's strategy is to make America confused again, as polls show his efforts to make the country great again are falling flat among voters.

"These aren’t jokes. They’re digital Molotov cocktails, lobbed straight into an already fractured public square," Cohen wrote. "And let’s not pretend this is just 'silly meme culture.' Trump knows the polls are brutal. His approval numbers are cratering as the shutdown drags on and inflation eats away at working families."

"So what’s the solution?" he continued. "Distract, distort, and drown the truth in so much fake content that people can’t distinguish fantasy from reality. If he can’t make America great again, he’ll at least make it confused enough not to notice how bad things are."

"But when the president of the United States shares fabricated videos of political rivals confessing to crimes, or doctored images of government policy proposals that don’t exist, that isn’t fun. That’s weaponized disinformation," Cohen added. "We’re not just watching Trump clown around with AI. We’re watching the erosion of truth as a shared foundation of American life. The same man who shouted “fake news” into existence now relies on actual fake news to prop himself up."
