Trump posted an AI video last night of him wearing a crown, flying a jet and bombing protesters with shit. Yes, shit. Many U.S. media have ignored this latest example of Trump’s mental instability. Others have downplayed it. The response says a lot about why we’re in this mess. 🧵 1/

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

I try not to make too many predictions given how laughably wrong I've been about so many things! but my money is on seeing a big shift in the direction of bold and explicit uncooperativeness from elites, now that they have proof of the political temperature beyond polls
It is heartbreaking that my grandchildren have had to live with him as president and don’t know what a leader should be
As weird as it sounds, I think Trump’s shit-bombing video helps explain why protests have skewed older.

Older folks remember a time before the president posted this stuff. If you’re young and the past decade (maybe half your life) has included a president who posts diarrhea videos, that’s just life
Trump's Truth Social account just posted this AI video of him flying a fighter jet that reads "King Trump."

AI Trump is wearing a crown while he dumps shit on protesters. He's such a pathetic little man.

And a woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" for dressing up as inflatable penis, as a sarcastic statement?

This ⬇️ is so much worse - and so literally sick (I mean severe mental illness).

This is 5150 territory.

Y’all are acting like you’ve never seen a 79 year-old drug addict post AI vids wearing a crown flying a fighter jet dropping sh*t on US citizens at a rally the same week he bitched out the world for not getting Nobel Peace prize & blew up boats so he could joke about it before.

More people marched today than at any time in the history of the United States.

For @nytimes.com, it was the 6th most important story.

They are making sure that those in power do not see what they do not want to see.

This is not what we were brought up to think of as journalism.

Trump’s video seems like the fever dream of someone very self conscious about their loss of bowel control.

Every Republican on the Sunday shows should be forced to watch the Air Feces One video and then be asked, “Is the President sane?”

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

@nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @cnn.com are you going to write about the president of the United States posting a clip of himself literally dumping shit on Americans, or is it nbd?
Reposted by BarbJoan
It is true every day, but days like today just are huge reminders that for all it's many and varied faults this country was always great and it deserves better than what it's political branches give it in return

US: No kings!

HIM: [posts video in which he wears a crown and dumps feces on his subjects]
and another thing: he’s not mad. please don’t put it in the newspaper that he got mad.
Reposted by BarbJoan
The actual video is abhorrent, but not unexpected. This man is SO mentally unwell.
So the president
- wants to wear a gold crown as he
- dumps feces on mothers holding babies because they are
- protesting kings and fascists?

OK. Just clarifying.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

The most upsetting part of this story to me is the line where the Times says it is “unclear” where the money came from.

Under our constitution,
it is either extremely clear where money comes from - a congressional appropriation - or an illegal channel. So so, @nytimes.com
