'video deception' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'leaders in dubiously elected executive presidencies fooling all kindling enmity' is the wordplay.
'leaders in' indicates taking the first letters.
'all kindling enmity' becomes 'ake' (this might be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
The first letters of 'dubiously elected executive presidencies fooling' is 'deepf'.
'deepf'+'ake'='DEEPFAKE'

'by' is the link.
