World1News'Tasteless': Trump shares video of tiger mauling, creates AI version

Trump posted an AI-generated video of himself chasing and play-fighting with a tiger, set to The Tokens' song The Lion Sleeps Tonight.
US President Donald Trump shared footage of 23-year-old William Chapman being mauled by a tiger at a UK wildlife park, then posted an AI video mocking the incident.
Chapman's family, who described him as a bright young man who had battled significant mental illness, pleaded with people to stop sharing the footage as it caused them severe distress.
Even Trump ally Piers Morgan publicly told him to delete the post, calling it appallingly tasteless, while a South Yorkshire mayor accused him of using tragedy for a cheap laugh.
