Is there a real video showing President Donald Trump in a mysterious cave with unidentified blond giants and unidentified personnel? No, that's not true: AI detectors determined the video was highly likely to be AI-generated, and news searches returned no matching reports from established outlets. Lead Stories previously found that similar images of Trump with tall blond figures were also AI-generated.
There are no credible reports of such footage, and the video appears to be created using AI. Similar images of Trump meeting with tall, blond figures were determined to be AI.
The claim appeared in a post (archived here) by the X account @afrym76 made on September 24, 2026. The post included a video of a cave of hieroglyphs, with two blond giants and other personnel, including a person who looked like Trump. The post had no caption, nor any discernible audio. However, a reply to the post (archived here) made by the same user on Sept. 26, 2026. The reply read:

("Kek" is internet slang expressing amusement.)
This is what the video looked like on X:

The video was reposted elsewhere on X (archived here) and presented as fact. However, there is no evidence that the video shows a real event. Searches of Google News (archived here) and
Yahoo News (archived here) for the phrase "Trump AND giants AND hieroglyphs" did not generate any results. Additionally, as shown in the screenshot below, a Google image search (archived here) of the still from the video only showed social media posts:

The unlikely scenario shown in the video also points to it being fabricated. The unusually large giant figures and random assortment of people -- the president of the U.S., people in white suits, and military figures -- are not interacting in any meaningful way. Furthermore, nothing and no one besides the Trump figure in the video is identifiable, a classic sign of AI generation. While the SynthID Detector did not locate a SynthID for the video, the AI detection tools Hive Moderation and Sightengine predicted that the video was highly likely to be AI-generated. Screenshots of the results for each detector are included below:

Lead Stories previously analyzed images that depicted Trump and other world leaders with unidentified, tall, blond figures. These images were determined to be "Sci-Fi By AI."
