Donald Trump's behavior has grown increasingly erratic as the 250th anniversary of the United States approaches. In the last 24 hours, he posted an AI-generated video, made a strange comment about his sons, and faced protests from National Guardsmen. Here's a roundup of the wild events.
AI Slop Video and Bizarre Quip
Trump posted an AI-generated video on Truth Social showing himself as a doctor vowing to cure 'Trump Derangement Syndrome.' The video included cameos from anti-Trump celebrities like Rosie O'Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg. Trump cross-posted the video on X, a rare move indicating he was proud of it.
At the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota, Trump made a bizarre comment about his sons. Noting the Medal of Honour, he said: 'As I see my beautiful sons sitting there, I think I'm going to give one to myself, one to them and we'll have a threesome.' The remark drew widespread criticism.
Mount Rushmore Ambitions
Trump is reportedly determined to have his face added to Mount Rushmore. A bill in Congress proposes adding him to the monument, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has claimed there is room for another face. Trump has posted AI images of himself carved into the mountain. His appearance at Mount Rushmore on Friday night is highly anticipated, with concerns about fireworks causing forest fires amid drought conditions.
Protests Drown Out Trump Team
Top Trump staffers and cabinet secretaries were drowned out by protesters while addressing National Guardsmen in Washington DC. 'War' Secretary Pete Hegseth called the noise 'perfect' and blasted protesters as 'ingrates.' Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Deputy White House Prince of Darkness Stephen Miller were also upstaged.
Trump's Grift and New Air Force One
Trump took his first flight on the new Air Force One, a gift from Qatar. Coincidentally, it was confirmed that his personal earnings since returning to office have topped $2 billion, from crypto ventures, real estate, and merchandise.
Lawsuit Over Record Preservation
Former CIA Director John Brennan sued the Trump administration, demanding a court order to preserve records from investigations targeting him. The lawsuit argues that records could show vindictive prosecution, citing over 100 statements by Trump since 2017 lambasting Brennan.
