'Diaper Diplomacy': YouTube channel features AI baby versions of politicians
Making its debut on YouTube, Diaper Diplomacy videos use artificial intelligence software to transform some of the nation's most well-known political figures, such as President Donald Trump and U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.), into irritable infants while using the actual audio from the interviews or press conferences.
With more than 67,000 subscribers and over 40 videos, the channel has garnered millions of views and a loyal following through its recreations of viral political moments, starring "babyfied" politicians of both parties.
Diaper Diplomacy has recreated videos of a variety of notable figures in American politics, ranging from Trump visiting a construction site with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez testifying before Congress, and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., explaining how he discovered and placed a dead bear cub in his car - among others.
"Trigger Warning (for everyone): I roast both sides," according to the channel description, "Because let's be honest —our politicians act like toddlers, and it's time someone put them back in time-out."
While some videos are for "members only," the channel's creator has widely shared numerous videos as fundraisers for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, allowing "babies to help other babies."USA TODAY has contacted the White House and Booker for comment.
But who runs Diaper Diplomacy?
According to a bio on "Buy Me a Coffee," Diaper Diplomacy is run by a "regular guy" who is chasing his dreams as a video creator.
"[I am] trying to keep my head above water while raising three kids — including a 10-week-old who seems to think diapers grow on trees. If one of my videos gave you a laugh, I'd be super grateful for your support," the bio says. "Every little bit helps me keep making more content (and helps keep my little dude stocked up on diapers)."
When recently asked by a viewer in the comments section whether the channel had become a full-time gig, the response was that it's been a "wild ride," and, hopefully, "getting close."
"It's not paying all the bills yet, I've got a lot of mouths to feed and actual diapers to buy, but I think within a few months it can," was the response. "We'll see."
The channel also touts video-specific merchandise, membership-only perks and access to "Diaper Doppelgänger GTP," the AI tool used to "babify" politicians on both sides of the aisle for $9.95.

Trump Cuts Deal With Rupert Murdoch Related To WSJ Lawsuit Over Epstein Story
Donald Trump and Wall Street Journal owner Rupert Murdoch on Monday struck a deal related to the president's lawsuit against the paper over its publication of a story detailing a 'bawdy' birthday message Trump allegedly wrote to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. While Trump had initially sought to have Murdoch deposed swiftly, citing, in part, his advanced age and long-standing health issues, the president has now agreed to remove that request, according to a Monday court filing first reported by Politico's Josh Gerstein. Trump sued Murdoch, the Journal's publisher and the reporters who authored an article the newspaper published last month reporting that the president wrote a lewd message to Epstein as part of an album British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell compiled for the disgraced financier's 50th birthday in 2003. Epstein died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Trump has denied writing the letter, attacking the newspaper for publishing its story and taking legal action over the report. Monday's agreement stipulates that until the 'Defendants' Motion to Dismiss the Complaint is adjudicated, the Parties agree not to engage in discovery.' The filing, though, notes that if the defendants' motion fails, Murdoch shall be deposed in person within 30 days of that decision. The document states that Murdoch has three days from when the court approves the agreement to provide Trump with a sworn declaration describing his current health status. 'Defendant Murdoch has further agreed to provide regularly scheduled updates to [Trump] regarding his health, including a mechanism for him to alert [Trump] if there is a material change in his health,' the document states. 'Failure to provide updates in the agreed-upon manner as set forth in the Abatement Agreement shall result in an expedited deposition of Defendant Murdoch.' Trump last week told reporters Murdoch wanted to settle the case. 'They are talking to us about doing something but we'll see what happens,' Trump said. 'Maybe they would like us to drop that, so we'll see ... yeah, they're having, they want to settle it.' 'When I get treated unfairly, I do things about it,' he added. Related...

Donald Trump's Approval Rating Jumps With Liberals
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. President Donald Trump's approval rating has increased among liberals in the past month. According to polling by I&I/TIPP released on August 4, the proportion of liberals who said they approved of Trump's job performance increased by 4 percentage points from 19 percent at the end of June to 23 percent in early August. Why It Matters Approval ratings are a good way of measuring the temperature of the nation and Trump's popularity has fluctuated in the first six-plus months of his term in the Oval Office. Liberals do not generally have a positive view of the president or his policies so an uptick in approval rating is noteworthy. It remains to be seen whether this will sustain and ultimately affect the 2026 midterm elections.

AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson What To Know While the proportion of liberals who said they approved of Trump has increased, the majority of liberals (72 percent) still see him in an unfavorable light. The proportion of liberals with a favorable view of the president increased from 18 percent at the end of June to 23 percent in August—an increase of 5 percentage points. Overall, Trump's favorability rating among all voters was net -1 percent in July and net 0 percent in August. The June poll was conducted between June 25 and 27 had a sample size of 1,421 adults. In August, 1,362 adults were polled from July 30 to August 1. Both polls had a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points. Polling elsewhere has been less positive. A survey conducted by Quantus Insights from July 21 to July 23 among 1,123 registered voters showed his rating stands at 47 percent, while 50 percent disapproved. According to the YouGov polling for British newspaper The Times, the proportion of people who disapprove of Trump's job performance has increased from 52 percent in April to 57 percent in July. What People Are Saying Speaking to Newsweek, Mark Shanahan, who teaches American politics at the University of Surrey in the U.K, previously said: "Trump's second term has been less of a honeymoon, but more of a divorce from half the country: one where he's got to keep the house, the kids and just about all of the assets. From day one of his rule by Executive Order he has never sought to bring the USA together and, indeed, has exploited differences to highlight how he's delivering on his campaign commitments, not least through DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency], through his clampdown on immigration and through his America First foreign policy." "Public services are already beginning to creak thanks to the actions of Musk and his cohort, and tariffs are driving up prices at home, while the economic benefits of the One Big Beautiful act have yet to be felt. And around all this, the whiff of Epstein is tainting the president's achievements." What Happens Next The midterms are scheduled to take place in November 2026 where Trump's popularity will be tested in earnest.
