For several days now the president of the United States has decided to post different AI videos of animals attacking human beings. Today he switched gears..
President Donald Trump sparked a wave backlash after posting an AI-generated video of himself wrestling and cuddling a tiger just hours after sharing real footage of a young British man being fatally mauled by one.
Trump first posted footage Tuesday from the attack at Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster, England, where 23-year-old William Chapman died after entering the enclosure of a tiger named Altai.
The Washington Post and other credible news publications are reporting this
The Washington Post reports that Donald Trump was secretly moved off Air Force One and onto another military aircraft during his trip to Turkey last month amid an Iranian assassination threat, as he feared for his life.
Trump publicly boarded the legacy Air Force One, but was then reportedly smuggled off using an airport catering truck and transferred to a smaller military plane. The original Air Force One continued on as a decoy carrying journalists and White House staff who believed Trump was still aboard.
Trump’s actual plane reportedly flew to Britain under a nondescript call sign with its tracking systems disabled, concealing his location for hours.
The White House, meanwhile, publicly maintained that Trump had traveled aboard the legacy Air Force One.
This appears to be the order of operations according to media reports:
Trump flies to Turkey on the new Qatari-gifted Air Force One for the NATO summit.
An Iranian assassination threat triggers a secret “deception operation.” Security officials devise a plan to conceal which aircraft Trump is actually traveling on.
The Qatari-gifted Air Force One leaves Turkey first, without Trump.
Trump publicly boards the legacy Air Force One in Ankara, walking up the stairs and waving for cameras, creating the appearance that this is his plane home.
Trump secretly exits Air Force One through the other side of the aircraft and gets into an airport catering truck raised to the plane’s door.
The catering truck drives Trump to a smaller Air Force C-32A, a modified Boeing 757 parked nearby.
7.. Trump secretly boards the C-32A. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also boards separately.
Reporters and some White House staff board the legacy Air Force One, apparently unaware Trump is no longer aboard. They are instructed to close their window shades. (Remember all that reporting from the time?)
The legacy Air Force One takes off as a decoy and eventually uses the “AF1” call sign despite Trump not being aboard.
Trump’s actual C-32A flies secretly to Britain under the nondescript call sign “Reach 18,” with its normal flight-tracking systems reportedly switched off.
Trump arrives at RAF Mildenhall in Britain on the C-32A, shortly before the decoy Air Force One arrives.
Trump somehow transfers back onto the legacy Air Force One after landing. The Post says exactly how this transfer occurred remains unclear.
Trump then emerges from the legacy Air Force One in front of cameras, making it appear as though that was the aircraft he had flown from Turkey.
Trump boards the Qatari-gifted Air Force One in Britain and finally flies back to Washington with the press and staff.
It’s been laughed at, mocked, analyzed and probably studied more than the hair of any president in American history. But after Trump made an appearance this week giving a speech with what looked to be a new, thick and flowing collection of golden locks, the internet decided it was time to bring in the AI and create a brand-new must-meme moment for the president.
Whether Trump did or did not actually wear a wig that day—or has suddenly discovered some new presidential hair-care regimen—is up for discernment by people who apparently have more time to investigate presidential follicles than we do.
What is clear is that a series of absolutely hilarious Trump hair videos have started appearing all over social media. Some give him long, flowing golden hair blowing majestically in the wind. Others take it to completely ridiculous proportions. And the strange thing is, a lot of them are really well crafted. They’re funny, they’re harmless, and they’re another example of just how quickly one slightly unusual moment can now be transformed into an entire alternate reality by AI.
We already have the never-ending collection of AI-generated JD Vance videos, where the vice president has been getting away with quite a bit in his fictional digital life. Now Trump has his hair.
Maybe that’s one of the stranger things about living through this particular moment in history.
For hundreds of years, we’ve looked back at paintings and photographs of presidents and political leaders to see what they looked like and how people viewed them at the time. We have Washington crossing the Delaware, Lincoln sitting solemnly for photographs and Kennedy standing behind a podium.
A hundred years from now, somebody searching for Donald Trump might find him standing at a podium with six feet of golden hair blowing behind him while JD Vance is somewhere in the background doing something that absolutely never happened.
And maybe future historians won’t really know what any of our politicians looked like.
They’ll just know that, for a few days in the summer of 2026, the hair was flowing.
True chaos erupted at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner tonight, as reports began to surface of a shooting in the lobby just outside the ballroom—right before the evening’s festivities were set to begin.
🚨#BREAKING: Watch as Donald Trump, along with the First Lady and other attendees, is evacuated from the White House Correspondents' Dinner after loud bangs that were gunfire that was heard during the event. Reports indicate a suspect has been taken into custody, and no injuries… pic.twitter.com/VsmhVTxHfe
According to what is known at the time of this writing, the shooter has been apprehended. But in those initial moments, confusion and fear took over quickly.
🚨 BREAKING UPDATE: President Trump has been SAFELY EVACUATED from the White House Correspondents Dinner, per sources
You can hear shots ring out in this video
A shooter opened fire in the LOBBY — the shooter is DEAD
Former President Donald Trump, the First Lady, and members of the cabinet were rushed out of the event. Trump himself was abruptly pulled from his seat—either stumbling or being forced to the ground—before being quickly escorted out of the room by security.

Inside the ballroom, reporters—many of whom would normally be the ones delivering the news—were instead diving under tables, trying to make sense of what was happening while protecting themselves as shots were reportedly being fired just outside the room.
Information has been slow to come in, and understandably so. The very people who would be reporting on the situation were in the middle of it, taking cover as the situation unfolded in real time.
The Drudge Report has already thrown up its signature siren, signaling the severity and urgency of the moment. At this point, there is still uncertainty as to whether the dinner will continue. Trump has reportedly expressed that he would like the event to go on, but ultimately said the decision will rest with law enforcement.

Oddly… Karoline Levitt said, comically, there will be “Shots fired” at the dinner tonight..
🚨 JUST NOW: Karoline Leavitt calls on everyone to watch tonight because Donald Trump will bring the heat and there will be “shots fired”
Fox News reporter was on reporting saying, “The Press Secretary’s husband was one of our guests; he was sitting right next to me. Right as dinner was starting, the National Anthem played, and then he leaned over and said, ‘I watched you on TV, you do a great job, but you need to be very safe.’ “He was very serious when he said that to me, and he kinda looked around the room and said, ‘There are some–'”. The call then mysteriously cut off, with many viewers believing it was done on purpose.
Nothing like official government accounts scaring us
The White House just posted something… weird. Two very strange and cryptic videos hit their official social media, and neither of them felt like anything close to normal government communication. One of them was deleted almost immediately, which of course only makes it more interesting.
The deleted clip looked sloppy, almost accidental. It showed a woman’s shoes… metallic heels… and a voice saying, “it’s launching soon, right?” Then it was gone. No explanation and no follow-up.

The second video is still up, and somehow even stranger. It feels like an intro to a horror movie. Static. A drooping American flag. A notification ding. The whole thing has this eerie, Texas Chainsaw Massacre-type energy where you’re not sure what you’re looking at, but you know it’s off. Now here’s where it gets even more interesting. According to reports, the first video was posted early Thursday and quickly deleted. A second clip followed showing that static-filled scene with the American flag, and that one has racked up millions of views. Both posts spread across platforms like X and Instagram, and naturally the theories started flying.
Some people think it was a pocket dial situation. Others think it was some kind of internal error. And then there are those who believe it’s something more intentional… maybe even tied to the rising tension between the U.S. and Iran, especially after reports that President Trump delayed strikes on Iranian power plants. As of now, there’s no official explanation from the White House.
A simple mistake that just happens to look like the opening of a horror film… or something a little more deliberate dressed up as chaos? You pick the door.
Either way, it’s not every day that the White House drops something that feels like it belongs on a VHS tape found in the woods.
“Can I go check a pulse?” a man said after Good was shot, his hands in the air.
“No! Back up!” an ICE agent told him.
“I’m a physician!”
“I don’t care!” the agent replied
New records from emergency responders obtained by The New York Times show that Good was not breathing but had an irregular pulse when local medics arrived at the scene, and had no pulse by the time they removed her from her car. This comes after an initial video captured by bystanders showed ICE agents screaming at a medic who offered help as Good lay dying in her car.
MORE from the account..
“Can I go check a pulse?” a man said after Good was shot, his hands in the air.
“No! Back up!” an ICE agent told him.
“I’m a physician!”
“I don’t care!” the agent replied, before another came up and said they had their own EMS on the way. They arrived and performed CPR on Good—who had two gunshots in her chest and one on her arm—before taking her to the hospital, where she later died.
DEVELOPING
Meanwhile..
Federal officers in the Minneapolis area participating in its largest recent U.S. immigration enforcement operation can’t detain or tear gas peaceful protesters who aren’t obstructing authorities, including when these people are observing the agents, a judge in Minnesota ruled Friday.
U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez’s ruling addresses a case filed in December on behalf of six Minnesota activists. The six are among the thousands who have been observing the activities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol officers enforcing the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area since last month.
We are at a pivotal moment in time on another level.. especially with this:
🚨#BREAKING: The Department of Homeland Security has announced and is advising its U.S. citizens to be prepared to present proof of citizenship.
Tmz Splash this on their website today with other news networks quickly picking up on it, and insult her around the world along with a presidential response that in past administrations would have been considered scandalous. Now it’s just a blip on the nightly news.
TRUMP toured the Ford F-150 plant at the Detroit Economic Club before giving a speech … while walking the factory floor on his tour, someone began shouting at Trump. It’s hard to make out the full sentence shouted at Trump, but it seems to have included the words “pedophile protector.”
At this point it was pretty clear what the president was mouthing back to the worker followed by the one finger salute. No more information has been gathered but of course the media will be chomping at the bit to talk to the worker and find out more, meanwhile we will all simultaneously move on to the next big issue an hour from now…
In a world where everything is shocking, nothing is shocking.. at least not for very long.
Donald Trump posted an image to his Truth Social account early this morning, apparently reposted from another account. The image is grainy, black and white, and shows Trump standing on top of the White House. Above him is a single word: “Soon.”
Donald J. Trump – Truth Social 06:44 AM EST | 01.11.26
Naturally, commentary was immediate. Seeing something like this, it’s impossible not to speculate. What is “soon”? What’s coming? Is it symbolic? Is it a tease? A threat? A joke? Or nothing at all? More ICE raids ? Well yes that’s happening ..
Honestly, the image looks less like a political post and more like a horror movie cover. In fact, I saw it spreading across several horror-focused websites, where it was shared almost respectfully for the genuinely unsettling aura it gives off. Stark lighting. High contrast. A lone figure looming over an iconic building. If you slapped a studio logo on it, no one would question the genre.
What makes it even stranger is the idea of a president or former president leaning into imagery designed to unsettle or intimidate. Whether intentional or not, it flirts with fear as a form of messaging. And that’s the unsettling part. Not just the image itself, but how normalized this kind of thing has become.
But then again, this is the world we live in now—where politics, spectacle, and horror aesthetics blur together until it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.
What a weird day in news and politics.. reporters have been apprehensive about sharing or reporting this but the internet has gone wild with Trump and Jeffrey Epstein and now Bill Clinton connections..
One of the emails released, from Epstein’s brother Mark Epstein, has gone viral. In it, Mark speculates if Putin has a photo of “Trump blowing Bubba.”
The mention of the President “blowing Bubba” has caused a storm on social media, as ‘Bubba’ is the nickname of former President Bill Clinton, who is also alleged to have been associated with Epstein.
But people have taken it and molded it into thr political shocker worthy of a Trump Season 2 plot shift..
Drudge was in his glory mockinga Trump and also Clinton–hardening back to what got Drudge famous to begin with in the late 90s..
Meanwhile Trump raised eyebrows along with the volume at the White House…
Politico correspondent Jake Taylor noted on Friday afternoon that music from “The Phantom of the Opera” was playing so loudly it could be heard outside the White House. The president is said to be a notorious fan of Broadway show tunes and enjoys playing DJ at events.
