Trump posted this very bizarre AI edited video of Hakeem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer after meeting with them ahead of a possible government shutdown, and then lying about what they said in the meeting, with Mexican music in the background, and Hakeem Jefferies wearing a Mexican hat and mustache. (warning: there is swearing in the video)

I'm not sure who wrote this but unfortunately it's not satire.

"Donald Trump walked into Quantico Tuesday expecting a rally. He got a funeral.

The generals sat in perfect silence, faces locked in the kind of grim stillness that comes from years of watching idiots talk and choosing not to react. Trump, of course, couldn’t handle it. “I’ve never walked into a room so silent before,” he confessed, his voice trembling somewhere between wounded pride and panic. Then came the kicker: “If you want to applaud, you applaud.”

This wasn’t leadership. This was a washed-up Vegas act begging the crowd to clap. The Commander-in-Chief turned into the Clapper-in-Chief, reduced to prodding the nation’s top brass like a sad carnival barker who forgot his punchline.

A campaign rally in uniform.

Instead of strategy, Trump delivered his usual medley of grievances: Barack Obama ruined everything, Joe Biden ruined it twice as hard, and only Donald J. Trump, self-proclaimed “two-term, maybe three-term president” could save America. It was less a military briefing than an episode of The Apprentice: Pentagon Edition.

The generals, trained to withstand battlefield chaos, sat stone-faced through the barrage of nonsense. They have endured artillery fire with more enthusiasm.

Enter Pete Hegseth, America’s Pastor-in-Arms. Trump’s “Secretary of War” took the podium with the intensity of a man who thinks Tom Clancy novels are actual military doctrine. He promised “fire and brimstone,” called for purges of “fat generals,” and announced he wants the next war to look exactly like the Gulf War, because apparently it’s still 1991 and CNN is running that same grainy footage of tanks in the desert.

But Hegseth wasn’t done. He led them in prayer. Yes, prayer. The nation’s top generals, summoned by presidential ego, now folded into a forced altar call like extras at a megachurch revival. The separation of church and state? Obliterated. Constitution? Shredded. Jesus, apparently, is now Commander-in-Chief. Trump can play Vice.

Weakness on parade

Trump likes to brag about firing generals who “aren’t warriors.” But on Tuesday, the real firing squad was silence. Not one clap. Not one cheer. Just the steady hum of contempt vibrating off the brass like feedback from a dead microphone.

These men and women have seen actual combat. They’ve buried soldiers. They’ve lived with the weight of real command. And now they’re expected to cheer for a man who brags about moving “a submarine or two” like it’s a toy in a bathtub, or who lectures about “two N-words” as though nuclear strategy were a stand-up routine.

No wonder they didn’t clap.

The pin-drop presidency

What happened at Quantico wasn’t just awkward. It was diagnostic. Trump’s presidency is a hollow shell propped up by applause, and when the applause disappears, so does he.

And Hegseth? He’s the zealot-in-chief, delivering sermons about war and Christ in equal measure, a man confusing the Book of Revelation with the Pentagon’s operations manual. Together, they make quite the duo: one desperate for claps, the other desperate for amens.

The generals gave them neither.

Instead, they gave silence, the most cutting judgment of all."

Trump returns to ‘51st state’ rhetoric in speech to U.S. military officials
https://archive.ph/sfS7Z#selection-3737.26-3737.101

"Trump told the assembly that “Canada called” a few weeks ago to ask to be part of the missile defence shield.
Trump said he replied that Canada should join the United States to get it for free.
Trump also claimed Canada is having a hard time because tariffs are bringing business to the United States."

Anyone else fed up with Trump insulting, taunting and threatening Canada on an almost daily basis without seeing any rebuttal from our Prime Minister. Mark Carney has been PM for over six months now and not once has he pushed back against Trumps nonsense. Trump keeps saying "Canada wants to be part of my Golden Dome". There is no way this can be true. We would be total idiots to commit to Trumps fantasy project. Why hasn't Carney spoken out and said thanks but no thanks - we will take a pass on the Golden Dome.

I have come to the conclusion that Carney is every bit as useless as Trudeau. He's Justin Trudeau with a Harvard degree. Trump boasted that "Canada is having a hard time because tariffs are bringing business to the United States". Trump is making no secret that his plan is to destroy our economy, and Carney just remains tightlipped as Canada bleeds out. This is not normal. Meanwhile Trump pledged $20 billion to bail out Argentina a country that is insignificant in importance to the United States compared to Canada.
