SPEAKER 3
A very fatigued and disoriented Donald Trump just held a disastrous press conference in the Oval Office. He was flanked by Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner and the mayor of Washington, D.C., Mayor Bowser. Ostensibly, the purpose of this press conference was to announce that the NFL draft in 2026 will be taking place in Washington, D.C.,
0:23
but this devolved into complete and utter madness. Let's talk about what went down. Donald Trump was asked about how he decided to reopen Alcatraz and Donald Trump talked about how he really just wants to be a filmmaker. This was a nonsensical, very odd response here. Watch this.

SPEAKER 4
How did you decide to reopen Alcatraz? Can you walk us through that decision? Did I say what? To reopen Alcatraz. How will you use it? How did you come up with the idea? Well, I guess I was supposed to be a movie maker. We're talking, we started with the movie making, it will end.

Trump Has Meltdown at Very Alarming Presser Inside Oval

This was particularly nuts

By Ben Meiselas

What we just witnessed in the Oval Office was one of the most unhinged press conferences in presidential history—and that’s saying a lot when you’re dealing with Donald Trump.

The stated reason for the event was to announce that the 2026 NFL Draft would be held in Washington, D.C. Sounds straightforward, right? But of course, with Trump, nothing ever is. He stumbled through the announcement with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser awkwardly flanking him like hostages in a reality show gone off the rails.

Then came the bizarre tangent about reopening Alcatraz—yes, the island prison that’s now a national park. When asked how he came up with the idea, Trump veered off into a word salad about wanting to be a filmmaker. Some are speculating that Trump likely watched Escape from Alcatraz on public access TV over the weekend, which did air in the Palm Beach area. I wish I were joking. You’ve got to see the clip to believe how far gone he sounds.

And just when you think it couldn’t get any more disconnected from reality, Trump was asked about the AI-generated image of himself as the Pope that he posted—on his own official account AND the White House account—while the Catholic community is still mourning Pope Francis. His response? Deny, deflect, then blame the “fake news media.” Not a shred of accountability, not even an ounce of empathy.

Then came his jab at Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who’s visiting the White House. Trump said he didn’t know why Carney was coming, implied he was there to “kiss ass,” and doubled down on his insane plan to annex Canada to make the U.S. the largest country by landmass, as if he’s buying up golf courses, not dealing with sovereign nations.

Oh, and did I mention Trump wants to pay undocumented immigrants $1,000 to “self-deport” on “beautiful flights” out of the country? That’s right. MAGA’s new “solution” to immigration isn’t having Mexico pay for a wall, it’s having you pay people to leave—on top of the fact that Trump actually deported fewer people than President Biden, despite the endless bluster.

He capped it off by whining that immigrants shouldn’t be entitled to trials. He openly said 5 million trials are “too many” and seemed to suggest that due process itself is the problem. This is the same guy who says he’s all about law and order, while literally arguing against the rule of law.

As I watched it unfold, I couldn’t help but think: this is not normal. This is not leadership. This is not someone fit for the office he currently occupies.

Yes and somehow we need to pressure corporate media to do this. This is an email address sort of for NBC..it says to report and error or comment. contact.nbcnews@nbcuni.com. I'll be looking for something similar for ABC and CBS. We know who controls them but they still need to hear from American citizens about our concerns for how they cover (or don't) the reality of the trump administration. I don't know if any of them care about their dwindling viewship/readership but maybe they do and maybe there is someone that reads the emails that will sunddenly become alarmed about what is happening in our country (and they if they say something get fired, but at least they can live with themselves instead of deciding to change from a wanna be journalist to a trump toadie actor/actress who just reads a script).

Luther’s Mom's avatar

No. In the case of a vacancy at VP, Johnson doesn’t automatically move up. We’ve had this situation pretty recently, when Agnew had to had to resign and then Nixon did. The SoH didn’t just sort of

magically become the President because everybody above him left.

‘That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.’

Vance would become then President and then he would be invited to appoint his own VP. That person would then have be approved by the House and the Senate.

https://www.factcheck.org/2020/09/vice-presidential-vacancy-isnt-automatically-filled-by-house-speaker/

The thought of unctuous, slick JD Vance as POTUS is what keeps me from calling for Trump’s impeachment/ resignation/ anything else.

This is not going to happen! 25th Amendment has to be invoked by majority of Executive Branch Cabinet or majority of Congress of some magnitude.

Trump put weak, ignorant, treasonous people in his Cabinet and still makes GOP afraid of retribution.

How weak and cowardly does one have to be to sell your honor, soul, Oath of Office to a stupid, mentally ill, paper tiger? People do not have to be overly brave, patriotic, virtuous to just claim stress related, age related, family related emergency resignation from GOP Senate and House. JUST GO HOME and leave your keys to the trump Kingdom behind. Surely, you have enough money to leave the country for awhile. I would leave if I could and never pay another cent for this trump, fat-cat, bullying MOB BOSS ruled GOP/trump/MAGA/Putin/Xi Monstrosity that has made Americans look like suckers, losers, fools, marks.

Those pesky, hateful immigrants, POC, LGBTQ and stubborn Resisters will suffer, be kidnapped, imprisoned, shipped to a foreign prison, have no contact with the outside world, no one will know where you are or if you are dead because you live your dream.

Either flipping votes or going by who hasn't voted yet, and then "voting" for them.

I agree with you that Trump is stupid, but he has attacked the United States along with his cohorts. Unfortunately for democracy, Project 2025 is here!

Based on his recent ramblings, Trump is living in a surreal fantasy world of his own delusions. He’s sinking into greater incoherence even on his repetitious rally lies. His unconstitutional decrees are becoming bizarre - for example, declaring a fake “national security emergency” to put tariffs on films (including American films) made in foreign locations. A pressing issue!

When his acolytes and media pretend Trump is OK (“Trump being Trump”) when he clearly isn’t - and is getting worse - our world is in far more danger than when President Biden’s decline was excused. President Biden is fundamentally decent and never lost his ability to reason through issues of our time. Trump is objectively sick.

Due process, a fundamental principle of fairness in legal matters, ensures that the government follows established rules and procedures before depriving someone of life, liberty, or property. It's enshrined in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the US Constitution, protecting individuals from arbitrary government actions. Due process is broadly understood as requiring both procedural due process (following fair procedures) and substantive due process (protecting certain fundamental rights).

They appear to be gearing up for protests as the summer approaches potentially in advance of even greater limitations on our rights as a nation, and they are looking like they're going to be getting ready to put the full power of both domestic law enforcement and our military into position against those who oppose the policies and positions of this government.

When you see what he said in black and white and then realise that those words came out of the mouth of the POTUS during an Oval Office presser, well folks we have to realise; Elvis has definitely left the building. There has to be an intervention. This is no longer 'eccentric' or his normal 'word salad' we have heard ad nauseum so many times . This is full blown dementia. Seriously he should not be allowed the controls of a golf cart let alone be anywhere within a 10 mile radius of the nuclear 'football'. And always with the effing sharks!! REMOVE HIM NOW!!!

The problem is not trump in cognitive decline, that's what can happen to 78 year olds. The problem is that the Republicans in the House and in the Senate are complicit in the destruction of our country by a deranged person. And who with a sane mind would elect a person like him to be President in the first place?

Didn't 3 men escape from Alcatraz? They never were sure what happened to them either. And all the grief Biden got about being old. Disgusting. Trump was always stupid. But now he's senile and stupid.

"If Trump's clowns think this is a 'hostile act,' we're in a bigger mess than we thought."

UPS, the United Parcel Service, just announced that it is laying off 20,000 employees and closing 73 of its buildings by the end of June. It attributes the downturn to reduced shipping volume from its largest customer, Amazon, due to Trump’s tariffs.

When a division of Amazon considered telling consumers the truth, by posting the costs tariffs added to the price of each imported product, the mere possibility set the White House on attack mode. Trump immediately called Amazon owner Jeff Bezos, who reassured him Amazon would never do such a thing, while Karoline Leavitt accused Bezos of a “political and hostile” act just for thinking about it.

"NY Times exposes Trump family deal-making blitz involving billions of dollars."

The Trump Organization’s international business dealings came under scrutiny in a New York Times report released Monday, that claimed the president's family members are raking in a fortune in deals across the world.

“Just in the past 10 days, Donald Trump Jr. made stops in Hungary, Romania, Serbia, and Bulgaria,” the newspaper wrote. (Continued)

The cost of making Alcatraz habitable for human beings would be high. Perhaps he could go there for a couple weeks to camp and see what it would be like. Not sustainable, too expensive to bring back and I think he’s just looking for publicity. Same with taxes on foreign films. What a foolish idea. The film industry should just 🤦 him.

This fucker lies so much that he does not even remember his lies.

Also if ICE is so efficient at their illegal kidnapping and deportations, why would they need to pay people to leave the country? And who does he think is stupid enough take a paltry $1000 to leave the USA?

How did you decide to reopen Alcatraz? Can you walk us through that decision? Did I say what? To reopen Alcatraz. How will you use it? How did you come up with the idea? Well, I guess I was supposed to be a movie maker. We're talking, we started with the movie making, it will end.
