Trump’s latest AI birthday video features tacos, travels — and Sheinbaum

U.S. President Donald Trump commemorated his birthday a few days early by releasing an AI-generated video that included images of him eating tacos alongside President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Trump, who turns 80 on June 14, posted the 60-second clip to his Truth Social account on Sunday. 

The video shows a sequence of images simulating a trip by the U.S. president through different regions of the world, including Mexico, Italy, China and even outer space. The images are accompanied by chanted lyrics with the repetitive refrain: “Everywhere I go, they love Donald Donald Trump.”

In a brief fragment near the beginning of the video, Trump can be seen standing next to people identified as Mexicans. Next, Sheinbaum briefly appears wearing the presidential sash and a white dress like the one she wore during her Oct. 1, 2024, Inauguration ceremony. The camera then pans to Trump sitting next to her chowing down on a taco.

The background of the scene with Sheinbaum shows images similar to the interior of the Sanborns House of Tiles restaurant in Mexico City’s Centro Histórico. The plates also seem comparable to Sanborn’s iconic white porcelain dishes with blue accents.

Although the video is not about the Mexico-U.S. relationship — Trump is seen riding a camel in the desert, aboard a motorcycle in India — its release coincides with escalating bilateral tensions.

Last week, Sheinbaum railed about perceived political interference by U.S. actors and former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador published a letter accusing the Trump administration of trying to weaken the governing party. 

Sheinbaum softened her stance the following day, saying she didn’t believe Trump was directly involved in the meddling.

The two presidents last spoke in May, reportedly a “cordial and excellent” phone chat in which they discussed progress made on security and trade issues.
