The fake video, which appears to have been created by artificial intelligence, unexpectedly took over the monitors at the agency's Washington, DC headquarters, and caught the cafeteria people completely out of the guard. The changed video showed the image of Trump kissing the mask's foot and caring for love, along with the words “the true king of many years.” The ominous footage is widely distributed online, with the identity of the perpetrator behind the unsuccessful rumors remaining unknown.

Social media broke out when authorities sought hackers and asked authorities to keep them accountable for the broadcast of footage.
