For those interested in AI video generation, one of the most popular options recently has been lip-sync deepfaking Donald Trump and other world leaders, for hilarious comedy effect.
He’s just such a good character to animate about in some deepfake AI video and everyone wants to have a go.
In fact, most of the time, Donald Trump appears as if he has already been animated by some AI prompts - just turning up for a press conference or whatever.
So naturally everyone wants to get involved, supporters and doubters alike. Whichever side of the fence you are on, there’s a good chance you’d like to get your hands dirty with some realistic and hilarious Trump deepfake AI.
Trump Deepfake Manual - How to Lip-Sync Deepfake Trump in 6 Easy Steps
Log in to yapper.so
Click Lip-Sync Deepfake
Click on Trump - Choose your asset from the available list
Enter script he will say:
Generate Audio - this creates the voice matching the script
Lip Sync Video - Generate the video and wait for the results
First let’s try and just stick the whole thing into one large block of text and see what the results are like.
Example prompt (low effort version):
Yo, it’s Donny T whats happening you crazy cats and dogs just here to show you some of the great functions on yapper making viral videos like popping off a can of spray tan pow! I'm living the dream here they got contrast and saturation controls here baby, that means no more orange face. Actually a lot of people said i have the least orange face ever can you imagine that? thats what they said he got the least orange face on a person ever. I was like wow thanks next you'll be telling me i make good presidential decisions that benefit the american people next haha then we laughed.
Ok for a rough first draft with hardly any punctuation this is actually quite brilliant, in some ways the poor punctuation towards the end actually helps the hilarity of it and makes it even better.
We will fix any of those errors we created using the on-site tools later, two things to note here are the excellent quality in terms of a close match to the subject's real voice and also the synching with the lip movements. Both are very impressive. Another thing to note here is the sheer enjoyment of successfully building your own trump video with a custom script in under 3 minutes.
Try it yourself and get him to big you up personally. Your friends and family and most of the internet will love it. There’s even ready-made options for birthday messages from Trump, congratulations messages and friendly roasts with a custom script.
Now let's see if we can tighten up that audio with some better phrasing, more use of punctuation and without any misspelled words.
Refining the First Draft - Creating High Quality Trump Deepfakes that are Believable
Try asking for Script Tips to get some ideas on how to fix your text to make the deepfake video better.
Of course the initial attempt was mostly just a big block of text with some garbled nonsense. This was the lazy approach, showing it can be done within 2 minutes if you just want to quickly type out some waffle and have a go.
Even when you purposefully try to ruin it with awful spelling and grammar, the lip synching and voice likeness still holds true and it was still quite impressive, most of those ridiculous errors were our own making, with the prompt being written incorrectly.
Now let’s refine the script on the Trump Deepfake, use correct punctuation, and try to create a more believable conversation.
Example Prompt:
Sorry what was your question ? Is there a path through congress for the bill? I'm trying to find the path back to the main door. I'm lost here! Can none of you guys help me out, you've been here before. You must know where the main entrance is. What? What?? I can't hear you...my reputation? Am I worried about my reputation? No, I'm worried I won't make it back for dinner. I've literally forgot how to get back in. Seriously, can I ask you guys a question. You ask me hundreds of questions every day, questions, questions. I just wanna know. Which way do i go to get BACK INSIDE THE BUILDING?
As you can see, this is an immediate improvement with little to no errors in the finished output. All this required was correct punctuation and grammar. Full stops in the right place and things like that, also from a technical standpoint you can see that the syncing from the audio track in time with the lips moving is very accurate, with relevant hand gestures thrown in that match the context quite well.
A good test of whether the lip syncing is accurate is when you find you were not even watching the mouth to see if it matched up. You end up viewing it more like you would a real person talking and not concentrating specifically on the lips to see if it matches.
Using AI assistant to improve prompts
Let’s use the Writing Assistant to fix that messed up grammar and punctuation from the first video and see what else it can add in the form of some awful and embarrassing hip hop rapping about a strange subject. We will leave the AI to decide what that subject will be….
Ok the AI has picked tiny hands as the subject that Trump would rap about! It seems that even the AI system has got its finger on the pulse when it comes to roasting Trump. We said the trend was growing.
Now we just Close and Apply to save those new changes and generate the audio with the new script. Once that is complete just lip-sync the video again.
See the full quality video here with the amazing rap the AI has created and all previous errors fixed.
Try it yourself with your own script
Try it yourself with your own words for the script. Just select Lip-sync Deepfake, choose the asset or which version of Trump you want to use, enter the script, then generate the audio and video to match.
It’s great to play around with and see what you can come up with.
Being able to create scripts up to 1.5 minutes long means that it is also a great format for TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram.
So get creative and see what brilliant Trump deepfake lip-syncs you can make.
