'Santa' Trump appears in AI-generated White House stream reviewing 'naughty list' of illegal aliens

WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump rarely stays out of the spotlight. Recently, the White House shared an AI-generated video in which Trump appears to check a 'naughty list' of illegal aliens (undocumented immigrants). The video shows names scrolling up the list, presented plainly and without exaggeration.

This isn’t the first time Trump and the White House have referenced a list. With the holiday season approaching, the post has a festive tone, but the message appears heavy and intentional.

The caption shared, "BREAKING: Santa's Naughty List - the WORST of the worst, Lo-fi edition. No coal. Just deportation."

AI video shows Trump-like figure scrolling through a 'naughty list'

It appears the White House is currently running a music stream paired with an AI-generated video lasting about 1 minute and 7 seconds. The video was shared on X (formerly Twitter) and quickly drew attention.

The clip features a figure resembling Trump, shown only from the back. The figure holds a scroll with 'Naughty List' clearly highlighted, and as the video plays, names scroll upward on the list. While the names themselves are clearly visible, the visual strongly suggests that the list refers to illegal aliens.

The setting adds more color to the AI-generated video. The Trump-like figure is seated in front of a fireplace, with a Christmas tree, wrapped presents, cookies, and milk placed nearby. The figure appears to be calmly reading through the list like Santa Claus.

This isn’t the first time the term 'naughty list' has been associated with Donald Trump. Earlier, when asked by a reporter who features on his 'naughty list' this year, Trump gave a playful but cryptic response. 

The reporter asked, “Who is on your naughty list this year?!” Trump replied, “Ooooo… it’s a LONG list! I better not tell you, or it’ll cause a problem out there in the world.”

The holiday-themed messaging isn’t limited to the White House. Recently, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shared a video of an AI-generated Santa Claus rounding up illegal immigrants, warning them to 'avoid ICE air and Santa's naughty list' by self-deporting.

The festive clip shows Santa Claus putting on a red bulletproof ICE vest, handcuffing an undocumented immigrant on the street, and loading them onto an 'ICE Air' plane for deportation.

Alongside the video, ICE wrote, “Self-deport today with the CBP Home app, earn $3,000 and spend Christmas at home with loved ones. Holiday incentive is valid through the end of 2025.”
