US President Donald Trump was fooled by a fake AI-generated video that allegedly showed the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in flames. After watching the footage, Trump urgently called his generals asking: "What's happening with the Abraham Lincoln? It looks like it's on fire."

The generals explained the footage was a fabrication, but the incident raised concerns about the content the president views on social media and his susceptibility to disinformation.

Additionally, Trump repeatedly claimed that negotiations with Iran are underway. "They want to make a deal," he stated on Sunday evening. But when directly asked who specifically is negotiating and what such a deal should contain, the president offered no substantive answer.

In another moment, Trump revealed he had recently learned about the geographical distribution of electricity in Lebanon — information crucial for understanding Israeli military operations there. He expressed amazement that people even live in places like Lebanon and Ukraine.

During a phone call with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump reportedly advised him that he does not need to consult with advisors before making decisions on military support.
