Overview

• Trump posted a new video that places him in mariachi attire playing guitar while again depicting Hakeem Jeffries with Mexican-themed props.
• An earlier AI-edited clip added a sombrero and mustache to Jeffries, overlaid Jarabe Tapatío, and used a fabricated voice to attribute vulgar claims to Chuck Schumer.
• The videos appeared just hours after Trump met at the White House with Jeffries and Schumer, a session that ended without a funding deal before the midnight deadline.
• Jeffries and Schumer condemned the content on X, with Jeffries calling it intolerance and Schumer saying it shows Trump cannot negotiate.
• Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum and multiple Latino organizations, including LULAC, UnidosUS and Voto Latino, denounced the stereotyping and warned about AI-driven disinformation.
