(34,301 posts)A video posted online on Monday of a black bag being heaved out of a second-story White House window was probably AI-generated, President Trump told reporters on Tuesday when asked about it.
Trump added that such a video couldn't be real because "you can't open the windows" in the White House. "Theyre all heavily armored and bullet-proof, he said.
Trump's comments on the viral video came hours after a White House official gave TIME a statement that implied the videos content was real, and that it showed a a contractor doing regular maintenance."

(11,222 posts)bummed. I was so sure he was rotting.
...try squinting an eye and imagining he's the one charged with dealing with all of the serious problems in the nation and world.
...open political corruption of our military resources:
"I am thrilled to report that the US Space Command headquarters will move to the beautiful uh local of a place called Huntsville, Alabama. Forever to be known from this point forward as Rocket City. Okay. So, Huntsville, Alabama. We love Alabama. I only won it by about 47 points. I don't think that influenced my decision, though. Right. That didn't. Right."
"I will say I want to thank uh Colorado. The problem I have with Colorado, one of the big problems, they do mail-in voting. They went to all mail-in voting. So, they have automatically crooked elections and we can't have that. When a state is for mail-in voting, that means they want dishonest elections because that's what that means. So, that played a big uh factor."
On space command, sir. Um, are you concerned that people may not be willing to relocate from Colorado to Alabama?
"No, I'm not worried. We'll get somebody else. Did Colorado I mean, the problem with Colorado is they have a very corrupt uh voting system. They look, I have so many friends in Colorado. Anytime you have mail-in voting, you have corrupt elections. Very simple. It's very simple. Even Jimmy Carter said it with his commission. They set up a commission with him and Scoop Jackson and some people, highly regarded people. And they said the one thing, the finding was if you have mail in voting, you will have corrupt elections. Well, uh, the your, uh, radical left governor decided that he was going to have all mail-in voting in Colorado. Once you have all mailin voting, and for whatever reason, the Democrats cheat, then they cheat like, you know, they're not stupid. That's the only thing. They're no good on policy. They're no good on management. They're no good at government, but they're great at cheating. And they stick together, too. I give them credit for sticking together."
President Trump, something completely different, but about a big viral social media trend over the weekend. How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead? You see that?
"Really? I didn't see that. You know, I I have heard it's sort of crazy, but last week I did numerous news conferences, all successful. They went very well. Like this is going very well. And then I didn't do any for two days, and they said there must be something wrong with him. Biden wouldn't do them for months. You wouldn't see him. And nobody ever said there was ever anything wrong with him. And we know he wasn't in the greatest of shape. No, I heard that. I I get reports. Now, you knew I did an interview that lasted for about an hour and a half with somebody and everybody saw that was on one of your competitors. Uh I did numerous uh shows and also did a number of truths, long truths. I think pretty poignant truths. No, I was very active over the weekend. They also knew I went out to visit some people at the at the club that I own pretty nearby on the Potomac River. And no, I've been very active actually over the weekend. I didn't hear that one. That's pretty serious stuff. It's I'm glad it's Well, it's fake news, you know. It's just so it's so fake. That's why the the media has so little credibility. I didn't I knew they were saying like, "Is he okay? How's he feeling? What's wrong?" I said I just left. And it's also sort of a longer weekend. You know, it's Labor Day weekend. So, I would say a lot of people know I was very active this Labor Day. I had heard that, but I didn't hear it to that extent."
Would you ever consider sending an armed National Guardsman to every school?
"Well, we have a big problem with school shooting, but we also have thousands and thousands of schools that run perfectly. You know, they talk about you can do things construction-wise. And uh that's uh that's really I I there's I think nobody knows more about construction than me. You can build the construction doors, you can build this what they call safety doors with a lock on the outside, the inside, and every place else. Well, but if one of these lunatics happens to get through, then the police can't get in. Then they're looking for keys all over the place and it takes a lot of a lot of disadvantages to doing, you know, spending billions and billions of dollars and actually making it safer in some way for some of these lunatics that we're dealing with. But, uh, I don't think so. I, you know, I've I've thrown out the concept. We have great teachers that love our children. The parents love the children. Teachers love the children, too. And if you took a small percentage of those teachers that were in the military, that were distinguished in the military, that were in the National Guard, etc., etc., and uh you let them carry. That's something that a lot of people like. I sort of liked it that have to be have to be studied, but they're trained. Uh they've they know about weapons. You can't do it with every teacher because most teachers don't know and you know, but I I always thought that would be an alternative. Uh but it just we've we've had uh a lot of instances other countries have also they have different kinds of problems than we have but we do have uh there's there's something going on something going on and it's uh it's a bad thing."
"This was a beautiful thing that happened in Washington because we showed we showed that it could be done. And this wasn't just sending big strong guys and they are big and they are strong. You know, we had a great decision from the Supreme Court that had to do with uh sort of talent. It had to do with uh you are uh put down based on merit. Uh we you can hire based on merit. So merit for a soldier or for a policeman is strong, physically fit, uh something, you know, having a certain ability, not a person that is woke and got the job through woke, but wasn't strong enough to lift a gun out of the holster, etc., etc. No, I looked at the police, as you know, last week I went over, we had a meeting with there had to be 300 people, and they were all very impressive looking. And when the bad guys see them, they're not going to do a thing."
"When you come out and when you leave the room, you'll see that we just uh over the last few minutes literally shot out a a boat, a drug carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat. And you'll be seeing that and you'll be reading about that. It just happened moments ago. and uh our great general head of the joint chiefs of staff who's been so uh incredible including what took place in Iran knocking out uh potential nuclear power for long time to come. I think within a month they would have had it we didn't do what we did but he gave us a little bit of a uh briefing uh and you'll see and there's more where that came from. Uh we have a lot of drugs pouring into our country coming in for a long time and we just uh these came out of Venezuela and coming out very heavily from Venezuela. A lot of things are coming out of Venezuela. So uh we took it out and you'll get to see that after this uh after this meeting is over."
"We cleaned up Los Angeles. We did a great job there. And it was overwhelming what was going on. And again, the police chief made a statement that we could not have done. There's no way they could handle. You saw what was happening out there. It was going to be a disaster. and we stopped it cold. If we didn't do that, uh would have been a very sad day. And and you know, remember we have the Olympics, we have the World Cup, we have all these things coming and we have 250, all of these things coming. But I watched Nome get up and say he's doing a great He's not We're the ones that did it. And that's okay. Whatever it takes. But the main thing is we But he got up and said, "We did it." Well, he didn't want us there and he's going to need us again because it's starting to form again. I see it. It's starting to form again. You know, we have to maintain. It's like maintenance on an airplane. You can buy it, but you have to maintain it. Uh, and if you don't maintain it, a good plane becomes very unsafe very quickly. So, um, it's an honor to do it."
"I settled seven wars and numerous of those wars were because of trade and numerous of the trade deals that I made were because of tariffs. It gives you a great negotiating ability. If that ability were taken away from us by a liberal court acting on essentially foreign nations asking to get help from the United States government when they've been doing this to us for 40 years. They've that's why we have 38 trillion dollars in debt. We won't have it for long if they let us uh if if they allow us to do what everybody knows we should be able to do. Yeah."

(29,035 posts)Right wing assholes down there.. they can cry in their beer.
There are many Dems in the Springs.. maybe prime for gerrymandering,,, maybe our super majority Democratic legislature and our Democratic Gov will take care of that.
Of course, it will take undoing a state constitutional amendment, given current circumstances, I'd vote for that!
oh yeah, that's as far as I read because of
Dear Great Leader.. was life in America worse or even worser before you took office?

(31,763 posts)PoS cant hold his arms over his head to do his famous onion do anymore - hence the stoopid cap more and more often. Through the decades all this time he could have had daily professional help with that atrocity, but hes famously done it himself - but lately his hair is always either noticably disheveled or under that dumb childs cap. The coloring is undergoing more frequent and odd change.
This, more than any of the other signs alone has me casting some side eye at his health chart.

(12,667 posts)When my uncle died of heart disease complicated by kidney problems. His lips would get this slight blue tinge before he had an episode and had to go to the hospital.
Trump wears make up and probably wears lipstick too so you can't see the real color of his lips. If he didn't wear some amount of color on his lips, he would have a white ring around them like his eyes. But if that bit of blue comes thru, you know it's worse without his lipstick on.
Did anyone get to look at his hands, ankles or walk?

(22,590 posts)And without the makeup, bad as it is, he'd look even worse without it, because you can bet the farm he'd be all pale and blotchy without it. His hair is a mess, too; not that it isn't always a mess, but it's a different kind of mess like he didn't have the energy to "style" it the way he usually does. Also, he was standing kind of slumped, and his voice was weak. The energy and force he's usually been able to project just wasn't there.
From the comments here, it sounds like some people here can't see how much he's gone downhill. I'm surprised, because it looks really obvious to me. I don't know how anyone can NOT see it.
