One of the stars of the U.S. Olympic men's hockey team clapped back at the Trump White House on Thursday after it released a "clearly fake" video with his likeness.

Brady Tkachuk, captain of the Ottawa Senators, told ESPN on Thursday that he "didn't appreciate" the White House sharing an AI-generated video of him from the 4 Nations Face Off last year, where the U.S. and Canadian men's teams fought three times within the first nine seconds of the game. In the doctored video from Thursday, Tkachuk was made to say, "They booed our national anthem, so I had to come out and teach those maple syrup eating f---- a lesson" while "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd played in the background, ESPN reported.

"Well, it's clearly fake, because it's not my voice, not my lips moving," Tkachuk told ESPN during a media availability in Ottawa. "I'm not in control of any of those accounts. I know that those words would never come out of my mouth. So, I can't do anything about it."

This is not the first time that the Trump White House has created controversy using an AI-generated video. Last year, Trump posted an AI video on Truth Social showing him flying a fighter jet that dropped poop on people attending the "No Kings" protests.

IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge!

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
