The president Javier Milei He published a video generated with artificial intelligence on his Instagram account that quickly went viral on the networks and generated widespread debate. In the piece, donald trump appears performing a magic trick: he covers a red sheet Nicolas Maduro and to the ayatollah Ali Khamenei (former supreme leader of Iran), making them symbolically “disappear” from the scene. In the audience, sitting and applauding, are Milei himself, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele.
The publication comes at a time of high geopolitical tension. On January 3, 2026, U.S. forces captured Maduro in a military operation in Venezuela—called Operation Absolute Resolve—, they transferred him to North American territory to face charges for narcoterrorism and drug-related crimes, and triggered a political transition in the country with the designation of Delcy Rodríguez as interim president. Weeks later, on February 28, 2026, a joint attack by the United States and Israel eliminated Khamenei in Tehran, within the framework of an escalation that included multiple Iranian strikes and retaliation in the region. Trump confirmed both events on Truth Social, describing Khamenei as “one of the most evil people in history” and warning against any retaliation.
Milei, who maintains a direct and unfiltered line of communication on social networks, has frequently used this type of content to express clear ideological positions: alignment with Trumpfirm support for Israel and frontal rejection of regimes such as those of Venezuela and Iran, which he describes as part of an “axis of evil.” The video, although satirical and produced with AI, reflects that vision and is interpreted as a celebration of recent developments that, from its perspective, represent advances in the fight against authoritarianism.
The dissemination of the clip generated split reactions. His followers valued it as a forceful expression of liberal principles and support for the actions of Trump and Netanyahu. On the other hand, opposition sectors and international analysts criticized him for his provocative tone and for the risk of exacerbating tensions in an already volatile context, with Iran promising retaliation and Venezuela mired in uncertainty after the US intervention.
In a scenario marked by high-impact military operations and the growing use of content generated with artificial intelligence In political communication, this video summarizes Milei’s position: he sees recent changes as confirmation that “freedom advances” on the global board. The post, faithful to the style of the Argentine president, combines symbolic humor with an explicit political message.
