1. That uses AI, at least for the voices, and admits to that AI use. No idea if the script and cartoon animation

are also entirely AI, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence of creative output from more than a couple of months ago (YouTube channel created in May, but first video not till August 20), so I'd say it's likely these videos are entirely AI generated and done to make money.

Editing to add that the person who has that channel had to ask viewers for ideas for short videos a month ago:

So this is not a professional or even semi-professional satirist with ideas of their own. This is an AI user trying to make money using AI to satirize Trump.

2. Re that channel owner's use of AI, just found some more info

on the page where they ask viewers for ideas:

Which software are you using

Adobe Package:
Photoshop and illustration to build characters and their skeleton.
After Effects to bring the characters to life.
Premiere to film cut, and integrate all sources

That's Illustrator, not Illustration. But those Adobe tools all use AI.

And someone using AI that much and having to ask his viewers for ideas may very well be asking chatbots for ideas, too.
