Amid the US government shutdown that began this Wednesday, President Donald Trump published a musical parody generated with artificial intelligence (AI), insinuating that drastic budget cuts are coming within the Democratic agencies.
The clip was released this Thursday, after the president himself announced a meeting with Russ Vought, director of the country's Office of Management and Budget, to define which of those entities, which he called a "political scam", should be eliminated.
