RSS Feed If you haven’t checked out President Trump’s Truth Social feed over the past 24 hours, it’s your civic duty to do so, if only to know what our president is doing over the Labor Day Holiday. He’s continued on his renaming rampage, now suggesting he might change the name of New Mexico to New America and posts that both the Moon and the Strait of Hormuz are “ours." Trump also throws the late Congressman John Dingell’s wife under the bus, all while depicting himself in AI generated images as a superhero/dark lord, Hulk Hogan, and George Washington’s BFF.

Speaker 1: Hey there folks it is monday september 7th yes labor day and the president is having a hell of a weekend so far have you seen what the president is posting he's gone from calling robert de niro a jerk to renaming a u.s state and he was just getting started and with that welcome to this episode of amy and tj rose we say this all the time we're going to do one of these episodes like people do you know what the president is posting on social media this is uh And a bunch of extraordinary stuff. This was an extraordinary run he just went on.
00:00:36
Speaker 2: Let's just say this episode is warranted and perhaps a public service. Because you should see what your president is putting out there online.
00:00:49
Speaker 1: And we should say our, just in case anybody gets offended. That's not a political statement.
00:00:52
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you for that. Yours, mine, ours. But in less than 24 hours, the president of the United States... has posted more than 60 posts. I've counted.
00:01:04
Speaker 2: Wow. And you mentioned a few things. He is on a renaming rampage. And he's claiming we own the moon.
00:01:13
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's ours, baby.
00:01:14
Speaker 3: The Strait of Hormuz, U.S. territory.
00:01:16
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:01:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, duh.
00:01:18
Speaker 2: Apparently, he's some Star Wars... dark lord or a savior. I can't tell what it is. He's a McDonald's employee. He's Hulk Hogan. He and George Washington go way back. Joe Biden loves President.
00:01:35
Speaker 1: Trump, apparently.
00:01:37
Speaker 2: And who knew that the Iranian border actually is the outline of Trump's head?
00:01:41
Speaker 3: All of this is crazy. I know none of it makes sense until you've looked at his feed.
00:01:45
Speaker 2: We'll get into the specifics, but this is one of the most bizarre, disjointed.
00:01:53
Speaker 3: posts that I've ever seen from one person.
00:01:55
Speaker 2: And I don't even know, given that he is the president of the United States, how there is enough time in the day.
00:02:01
Speaker 3: And I know he has... Harp.
00:02:03
Speaker 1: It's Harp, right? Natalie Harp?
00:02:04
Speaker 2: He has his Natalie next to him, who is supposed to be in charge of social media.
00:02:09
Speaker 3: But my goodness, they've been busy over the last 24 hours.
00:02:13
Speaker 1: And he posts a lot of stuff oftentimes, we can see. Robes, sometimes it takes on a particular turn that a tone... That it seems something's going on. Like something upset him. Something caught. He was on one. That's the best way. He was on one for the past day. Robes, he's all over the place. Posting stuff that a kid might post. Okay, if you're supporting, yeah, it's funny. This is strength. That's just his personality. Okay, fine. And maybe we should accept it, Robes, as nothing but that.
00:02:44
Speaker 3: Or maybe we should look at it with some level of scrutiny. And actually have a level of concern here.
00:02:52
Speaker 1: Oh, he's just having a little fun. I'm sure is what some are saying. I'm trying to accept him calling an Oscar winner a jerk. Or saying, or putting his face on Hulk Hogan's body. That's fun stuff, I guess. Robes, right? What's the harm in it, I suppose? Is that what we're supposed.
00:03:10
Speaker 2: To be saying?
00:03:10
Speaker 1: I'm playing a little devil. Yeah, I understand.
00:03:12
Speaker 3: And some of it is fun and funny and perhaps harmless.
00:03:16
Speaker 2: Okay. But there actually has been some pretty significant reaction to several of his posts from folks, and it goes beyond just harmless fun.
00:03:23
Speaker 3: People are offended, upset, and concerned.
00:03:29
Speaker 1: About what, though?
00:03:30
Speaker 3: His mental health.
00:03:31
Speaker 1: Okay, let's say that out loud. It's strange, babe, to see a president, sure.
00:03:38
Speaker 3: A grown man.
00:03:40
Speaker 2: Sure.
00:03:40
Speaker 1: You want to add 80-year-old man. A busy man. This is.
00:03:47
Speaker 1: Childlike stuff.
00:03:50
Speaker 3: And that's on the kind end of it.
00:03:52
Speaker 2: I would say the behavior of, on the other side of it, people might say this is, it's lunacy. There's no other way to explain what we're seeing on his feet. And by the way, I just think as Americans, we need to be listening to our president watching what our president says and does reading what our president posts.
00:04:13
Speaker 3: It does matter.
00:04:14
Speaker 2: I don't, I think it's dangerous to just write it off as, Oh, he's just being Trump.
00:04:18
Speaker 3: He's just doing his thing.
00:04:20
Speaker 2: I just think, fine, you can say that, but you should read it and know what you're talking about first.
00:04:25
Speaker 1: Okay, fine. That's fair enough. Before you just say, ah, let them have fun on social media, you should take a peek at it. Okay, that's fair.
00:04:32
Speaker 2: Yes, because it all began around noon on Sunday, correct, when you mentioned the Robert De Niro post?
00:04:37
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:04:38
Speaker 2: Shows Robert De Niro with a Trump is my president t-shirt on him, and.
00:04:46
Speaker 3: The caption was, even this jerk is beginning to get it.
00:04:49
Speaker 1: Okay, he knows everybody knows it's not a real picture, right?
00:04:53
Speaker 3: Obviously it's AI.
00:04:55
Speaker 1: But just something about the president of the United States, this jerk, just to speak that way. I guess, again, it's normal. This has been normalized. I'm not a fan. I'd rather he didn't. It's not even about being a fan of who he's talking about. The president just dropping, telling the guy he's a jerk.
00:05:13
Speaker 3: It's also just his ego on full display.
00:05:15
Speaker 2: Yes, he's calling him a jerk, but he's also putting him in a T-shirt that says, Trump is my president. And then the next post that follow is, within the next hour, there's 10 of them. I mean, just imagine, 10 posts in one hour. Who listening here has ever posted 10 things in one hour in their life?
00:05:31
Speaker 1: It gets worse. And these are just comments.
00:05:32
Speaker 2: It gets worse.
00:05:33
Speaker 1: These are like AI-generated pic. These things took time to put together. He's not just popping off by saying stuff.
00:05:38
Speaker 2: And the next hour, he put up 23 posts in one hour. So in the 1 p.m. hour, he shows himself on a horse in colonial garb next to George Washington.
00:05:49
Speaker 3: He is literally putting himself... Yep. in the same position, place, and space as George Washington.
00:05:57
Speaker 1: No caption. It has him looking ahead and then George Washington looking over at him.
00:06:01
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:06:01
Speaker 1: He posts quite a bit, Rose, with him and George Washington.
00:06:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the next one was George Washington sitting next to him. It looked like he was talking to George Washington with the cabinet and press, watching the two of them.
00:06:14
Speaker 3: It's like no caption, no explanation.
00:06:17
Speaker 1: Right. This is the one, it says President Washington visits President Trump. The one where he's sitting in there. It says that over time. And again, you all have seen this scene before. Remember Zelensky having his meeting in the Oval Office and went back?
00:06:31
Speaker 3: That exact same place.
00:06:33
Speaker 1: Zelensky is, well, Washington is sitting in that seat and it's the whole setup with people around.
00:06:38
Speaker 3: Cabinet, members of his cabinet, yes.
00:06:41
Speaker 2: Then we see him going back to his renaming rampage where he crosses out Lake Ontario, writes America on the map with a red marker.
00:06:49
Speaker 3: Then you see.
00:06:50
Speaker 1: Again, that's an AI-generated photo, right?
00:06:52
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
00:06:53
Speaker 2: Yep. Then you see the New Mexico map. Mexico is X'd out, America typed underneath. Then he goes on from just....
00:07:01
Speaker 3: The world map.
00:07:02
Speaker 2: To the space, yeah, because we're going to own that too. We show, we see the U.S. Space Force service dress uniform.
00:07:10
Speaker 1: Is this real? It's just a pic of the uniform. They look like something from Star Wars.
00:07:13
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:07:14
Speaker 1: For sure. They look like Imperial officers who are working for Darth Vader.
00:07:20
Speaker 2: Yep.
00:07:20
Speaker 3: Again, like no context.
00:07:22
Speaker 2: Then go ahead and go back down to Earth and it shows Donald J. Trump hanging out at a McDonald's drive-thru window waving as if he's an employee.
00:07:30
Speaker 1: No caption.
00:07:31
Speaker 3: What's the point of that one? Don't know. I guess we all know he loves McDonald's.
00:07:34
Speaker 1: But he's in an apron. It looks.
00:07:36
Speaker 3: It looks bizarre. Then we go back to outer space.
00:07:38
Speaker 1: We're still in the first hour?
00:07:39
Speaker 2: Yep. Then we go back to outer space for a picture of the moon, and it just says, the moon is ours.
00:07:44
Speaker 1: It's a great shot.
00:07:46
Speaker 3: The moon is ours.
00:07:48
Speaker 1: No caption on this one.
00:07:49
Speaker 2: No country can own a moon, or the moon.
00:07:52
Speaker 3: Makes no sense.
00:07:53
Speaker 2: Then this is the next one, the before and after picture of Iran on a map in orange, the actual outline of the Iranian border. And then the next picture is Iran in the shape of Trump's head, also in orange with no caption.
00:08:09
Speaker 1: Just before and after picture. So this is the one I'm, Is this fun?
00:08:16
Speaker 3: What is going on?
00:08:17
Speaker 2: I don't know.
00:08:18
Speaker 1: It's war. People are dying. Is this fun?
00:08:20
Speaker 3: No, it's not. It's not funny. It's not fun. It's egotistical. It's disturbing. It's questionable.
00:08:28
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to see the way that other people might see this as everybody calm down. He's just having a little fun on social media, which he's supposed to.
00:08:35
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:08:36
Speaker 2: Then he starts talking about, I didn't even know we had a helipad, but apparently we just completed a helipad. Oh, yeah.
00:08:41
Speaker 1: He's been going crazy about this helipad. Somehow I missed that.
00:08:44
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Talked about Dwight Eisenhower becoming the first president to use a helicopter, saying now America needs one, just completed it, magnificent.
00:08:53
Speaker 3: So, okay, fine.
00:08:54
Speaker 2: Next hour, like I said, 23 posts. And the first one, a strange chart with colors, all in German. And I looked up, it's like, I don't even know. It translates to projection at 7.57 p.m.
00:09:07
Speaker 3: And it has colors. Everything's in German. I have no idea what it is. Okay. Do you see it?
00:09:13
Speaker 1: I see it. There's no caption.
00:09:15
Speaker 3: I tried to start translating some of it. I wasted way too much time. It's bizarre.
00:09:19
Speaker 2: Then the next one is Trump standing next to a TV. It looks like he's in Air Force One with Joe Biden smiling with the Trump 2024 hat on.
00:09:26
Speaker 1: It's a weird one. No caption, right? No caption.
00:09:29
Speaker 2: It's Then is it the Titanic that's sinking on fire with Democratic Party on it?
00:09:34
Speaker 3: I couldn't tell if it was the Titanic.
00:09:35
Speaker 1: I didn't realize. Is that supposed to be the Titanic?
00:09:37
Speaker 3: I think it's the Titanic. But again, no caption, so we don't know.
00:09:39
Speaker 1: Did the Titanic go down in flames?
00:09:41
Speaker 2: No.
00:09:41
Speaker 1: This is very fiery.
00:09:42
Speaker 3: No, it's a fiery Titanic sinking.
00:09:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, icebergs and fire don't usually go together, but I think he is saying that they did.
00:09:50
Speaker 3: The next one, Trump's face in Hulk Hogan's body.
00:09:54
Speaker 2: Why?
00:09:54
Speaker 3: With MAGA on top and an American flag. No caption.
00:09:58
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. Okay, let's... kind of stop on that one. If you just see that the president put that out, would you just go, that's funny, that's all, he's being silly?
00:10:06
Speaker 3: On a dead man's body? I actually feel like it's almost offensive, too.
00:10:11
Speaker 1: Do you need to delve into that? That was a good buddy of his. He wouldn't have mind. There's zero context. But he has the mustache. He has himself with the yellow or the blonde mustache, just like, I don't get that one. Like, that's, he approved that, baby.
00:10:26
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:10:26
Speaker 3: And then the next one is MAGA, Trump pointing on stage.
00:10:29
Speaker 2: He's got, like, it says he will go down in history as the greatest president.
00:10:34
Speaker 3: Of all time.
00:10:34
Speaker 2: Like, what?
00:10:35
Speaker 3: It's just one ego-fueled. post after the next. And some of them just bizarre.
00:10:41
Speaker 1: Maybe he's feeding, baby. Isn't he feeding his base and they find this fun? I mean, hey, there's our guy.
00:10:47
Speaker 3: I guess.
00:10:48
Speaker 2: The next one, I don't know if you have, because I'm really bad with references to any kind of Marvel something, but it shows Trump on.
00:10:55
Speaker 3: A dark, rainy D.C.
00:10:56
Speaker 2: Street with, it looks like, robot-looking guards next to him, soldiers, and it says, they.
00:11:02
Speaker 3: Will never sleep again.
00:11:03
Speaker 1: No caption.
00:11:05
Speaker 3: No caption.
00:11:07
Speaker 2: Then, He has a whole thing about if you have a problem with Lake Ontario being renamed Lake America, just remember the left renamed the following. And some of them are real and some of them are outrageous. But he's saying Columbus Day, the left renamed to Indigenous Peoples Day.
00:11:23
Speaker 3: Okay, that's true.
00:11:24
Speaker 2: Mother and father, the left has renamed mother and father to non-gestational and gestational parent. He said that we've renamed mental illness, that liberals have renamed mental illness to non-binary.
00:11:36
Speaker 1: That's not okay.
00:11:36
Speaker 3: That is terrible.
00:11:38
Speaker 2: Then he said that the liberals renamed felon to justice-involved person. I know he thinks he's being funny there. But yeah, definitely poking the bear. And then you really, this one really bothered you. The next post, Debbie Dingbat.
00:11:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, this woman lost her husband. He goes through this whole thing, and it's kind of what he revealed, I guess he was saying in a private moment, and then used that to call her out and call her names. This is Debbie Dingle, and this is what the president wrote. Quote, upon his death, I gave Congressman John Dingle the royal send-off. Maxed out. His wife, Debbie Dingbat, is what he calls her here. She called me and thanked me profusely while crying uncontrollably. She couldn't believe I would do such a nice thing. Since then, she has or she says nothing but bad about your favorite president, me. Every time I see that third rate loser ripping me, I'm amazed because I'm a loyal person and I don't do things like that. But that's OK. It's politics. However, it shouldn't be that way. And she has a picture of the woman with her now deceased husband.
00:12:50
Speaker 3: It's in such poor taste.
00:12:52
Speaker 1: And a big bowl's Debbie Dingbat over a picture of her and her now deceased husband.
00:12:57
Speaker 2: I feel like this is a kindergartner who is just like, who has.
00:13:05
Speaker 3: I don't even know what to describe.
00:13:07
Speaker 2: But look, by the way, folks, we have only gotten into, this is the third hour of his posting. And it goes in every direction.
00:13:18
Speaker 3: It's off the wall. It's ego-fueled. It's just bizarre. I don't even have the words to describe.
00:13:26
Speaker 2: He then goes on for like The next six or seven talking about Iran's oil exports that other countries cheat. He's got different charts about all of that.
00:13:36
Speaker 3: Lots of charts. Then shows us destroying an oil plant. Then another one.
00:13:42
Speaker 1: Is that the Karg one?
00:13:43
Speaker 3: Karg Island? Bye-bye Karg.
00:13:44
Speaker 2: Um, then Trump looking like another dark Lord with more robotic star Wars, like guards, they will.
00:13:49
Speaker 3: Dream of us forever.
00:13:51
Speaker 2: And then there's another one where he's sitting on a black throne with those same scary guards, give them nightmares.
00:13:56
Speaker 3: Like he's some like dark Lord. I don't understand.
00:14:00
Speaker 1: He's the, again, we're not saying that he's depicting himself.
00:14:02
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm not.
00:14:03
Speaker 2: He looks like some, um, someone who is going to come and wreck in the world.
00:14:08
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what it looks like.
00:14:10
Speaker 2: Um, Just then more of him standing in the ballroom construction saying it'll be the finest of its kind. Then more AI, things of him, we made America great again.
00:14:19
Speaker 1: That image, Robes, he's feeling his age. This comes off a lot of times. Robes, he has been obsessed. We look at it every single morning. He's been obsessed lately with putting out images of himself looking vibrant, looking young. He's posting pictures of himself.
00:14:33
Speaker 3: In control and powerful.
00:14:35
Speaker 2: The next one, he's on a spaceship with hands-on controls blowing things up on Earth. Like he's in command ofâ it's justâ this is frightening stuff. And I think if we normalize this and say he's just joking, I think we're missing something that needs to actually be.
00:14:53
Speaker 1: Talked about more.
00:14:54
Speaker 3: Why are we not discussing this?
00:14:57
Speaker 1: Discuss what? His mental health. Is this a sign of what? Is this a sign of anything other than a guy with an ego that we already knew about?
00:15:06
Speaker 2: Okay. Okay.
00:15:08
Speaker 1: I am actually trying to ask, where do you take this and do anything with it other than... It's Trump. This isn't actionable. He hasn't violated anything. It's confusing, but other.
00:15:20
Speaker 3: Than thatâ It is confusing.
00:15:22
Speaker 2: And then he goes on talking about, like, he's a great golfer, wins all the time, but an even better president.
00:15:27
Speaker 3: A couple of things of him and his golf swings.
00:15:30
Speaker 1: Then he hasâ There's two, right?
00:15:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, two of them.
00:15:32
Speaker 1: There are videos with no caption that just show him teeing off with a golf swing. That's it.
00:15:41
Speaker 2: Okay, and then he has a picture of U.S. presidents, and he has them ranked the greatest, which is himself, President Trump. Then he has who he thinks is great, Lincoln, Washington, FDR, Jefferson, Jackson. Then he has near great, average, below average, and then the failures, and he lists them as Biden, Obama, George, G.W.
00:15:59
Speaker 3: Bush, Harding, Carter, Hoover. Like, what president ranks?
00:16:04
Speaker 2: It's like a kid in school who's ranking his favorite people, and the girls who were, like, ugly and the girls who he wants to have sex with.
00:16:11
Speaker 3: Like, it's like weird. And, and he's like, that's just awful. He is debasing. Like he's, he's ranking us presidents.
00:16:20
Speaker 1: Um, and these do come with, uh, what would you call these little headshots? These are their official pictures and it's stacked in such a way. Right. And it has one picture at the top. It says the greatest Trump at the chart. He's used this one before and robes. I'm, Nixon ranks better than Obama on his list here. Clinton rates about the same as Nixon. Are they in the same group of average? He put Clinton in the average bunch. But Biden and Obama are in the failures. G.W. Bush, failure.
00:16:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the next one he has himself checking Carney in a hockey game.
00:17:01
Speaker 3: Get up, governor. It's just I'm on top and the rest of you losers are on the bottom.
00:17:08
Speaker 1: That one's more cartoonish and clownish. It's AI generated, but it's, I don't know, baby. I don't know. I'm trying to just say, oh, this is fun. Nothing to see here.
00:17:22
Speaker 3: I can't even go through all of these.
00:17:25
Speaker 2: He has Trump hammering Iran with a massive hammer with an American flag, just crushing Iran. again, blowing things up, looking strong in the Oval Office, looking strong walking through the White House.
00:17:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, those two back-to-back are almost the same, but he's putting on an image of himself that.
00:17:45
Speaker 3: Is carefully curated.
00:17:47
Speaker 1: Curated. And it doesn't, there is not, we see him on TV a lot. He never looks like that.
00:17:53
Speaker 2: No, it'd be like me trying to like AI, like, I don't know, myself in a bikini. And just when I was 25, like keep putting it out there. So everyone thinks that's what I look like now.
00:18:02
Speaker 3: I don't know.
00:18:03
Speaker 2: It's just, it seems pathetic is what it ends up coming off as like the opposite of what I know he's trying to impart, but it does feel pathetic. And then he has, uh, him changing the welcome to New Mexico sign to America. Like, it's an AI-generated one. This one really got me. He has a post about women in his administration. Women have had massive job gains. It was a repost to a story, and the captain says, no wonder they like me.
00:18:31
Speaker 1: That's a little problematic, but I get it. Oh, yeah, a lot of people have pointed that one out already. That language is wild.
00:18:37
Speaker 2: What?
00:18:38
Speaker 3: I mean, I just have to... I can't even.
00:18:40
Speaker 2: There's not enough time to go through all the other... um, post he posted about Maria Bartiromo saying he thinks that Trump speech censorship was behind the ouster of her. Um, but he just keeps reposting a bunch of positive stories about himself, which, okay, fine.
00:18:55
Speaker 3: We're used to that.
00:18:56
Speaker 2: But I think, did I get all of the main, like, I like, what the hell am I looking at posts?
00:19:02
Speaker 1: Did you, do you have the language on the Maria Bartiromo one? Um, I'm looking for it. That was specific language that stood out to me in that one.
00:19:09
Speaker 3: I don't, I'd have to pull it up again.
00:19:10
Speaker 2: It was, um, It was one of the more recent posts, but he did say that he, it was a repost of a news article that said that it was something about censoring his speech.
00:19:23
Speaker 3: That's the reason why she was let go.
00:19:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, the way he ended up wording it seemed like, I don't know, he almost seemed proud. He almost seemed proud of it. Wow.
00:19:35
Speaker 3: All right. Well, when we come back.
00:19:37
Speaker 2: We'll tell you what other people have been saying about this 24 hours of, I don't know, how would you describe his feed? of....
00:19:48
Speaker 1: Marathon MAGA madness on social media.
00:19:50
Speaker 2: Wow, you just nailed it. All right, we'll give you the reacts to all of that when we come back. Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and TJ as we discuss the, what was it?
00:20:08
Speaker 3: Marathon, Madness, MAGA, what?
00:20:11
Speaker 1: That was so two minutes ago.
00:20:13
Speaker 3: I know, and I want to remember it. It was so good. I'll have to go back and listen to it myself. Look, we've had some reaction.
00:20:18
Speaker 2: And look, there has been reaction to the renaming rampage that he's been on, but the New Mexico governor, she actually got on to Fox News and said, Her state's name is not up for debate. It's been hours since before the United States existed. She said President Trump was just trying to distract Americans from issues like rising fuel prices.
00:20:41
Speaker 1: And you know what?
00:20:41
Speaker 2: I hadn't thought about that, but maybe this is a little bit of the wag the dog. We also got some reaction. I thought this was interesting. from Grand Chief Pierre Picard of the Huron-Wendat First Nation.
00:20:52
Speaker 1: Oh, about Lake Ontario.
00:20:53
Speaker 2: Yes, Wendats are the people 400 years ago who named Lake Ontario, and this is what he said.
00:21:00
Speaker 3: He's outraged, appalled, and shocked.
00:21:03
Speaker 2: There are no other words to describe how I feel following President Trump's decision to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America.
00:21:10
Speaker 3: He called President Trump's move.
00:21:12
Speaker 2: Abhorrent and unspeakable and said that Trump was trying to eradicate our history.
00:21:17
Speaker 1: Shit.
00:21:18
Speaker 3: There is harm being done.
00:21:19
Speaker 1: There is harm being done.
00:21:20
Speaker 3: And there is harm being felt. And that's real. Now, we've had Canada, the prime minister there speak out. We've had from the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. This does offend people.
00:21:34
Speaker 2: It does change how people feel about the president, but also about the United States of America.
00:21:40
Speaker 1: The response is, who gives a damn? We're America. Is it not?
00:21:43
Speaker 3: And that's the problem.
00:21:44
Speaker 1: That some will applaud and go, yes, we need to protect ourselves. We're a superpower. We're the greatest nation on earth. Yes, do what we tell you to do. We can name it what we want to name it. We are in control of it all. We don't have to respect you. We don't have to respect your culture, your history, your name. We don't. Yeah, okay. That makes us what? It makes... Bullies.
00:22:11
Speaker 3: You just described a bully.
00:22:13
Speaker 1: Well, we're confirming what people suspect of us. We get a bad rap, I think Americans do, and then some of it we earn. This one, I mean, how can you look at this? How can you be, I don't know. I don't know how to be proud. Aha, we got the name back from Lake Ontario.
00:22:29
Speaker 3: It was never ours to begin with.
00:22:30
Speaker 1: I don't know how we feel. That feels good to some. And if it does, everybody has theirs.
00:22:35
Speaker 3: I guess. Yes.
00:22:37
Speaker 2: There was some funny social media reacts to this feed because folks are noticing that this is an especially frenetic, chaotic 24 hours. Someone just put it like this. Trump is absolutely losing it. 25th Amendment now. Exclamation point. Yeah. Someone else wrote, wow, this is just extreme mental illness, narcissistic collapse, and downright Looney Tunes insanity. We will be very lucky to survive this criminal con artist and lunatic another two years.
00:23:10
Speaker 1: I don't know, baby.
00:23:11
Speaker 3: Someone said, why stop at the moon? What about Mars?
00:23:13
Speaker 2: Or even better, he should go to the sun. Quick, how do we warn the Martians? I mean, that's how people are reacting to seeing what he's posting. Again, no context, no caption in a lot of these, just... I don't know if he thinks he's being funny, clever, appealing to the young people who like to make a lot of AI-generated posts. But when it's the president of the United States, you're 80 years old, you're in the middle of a war, you've got an economic crisis on your hands, you're fighting with Canada and Mexico, our neighbors, and you're picking fights with just about every leader that used to be our ally. Yeah, it seems like there are some other things that maybe should be higher on his agenda.
00:23:52
Speaker 1: I forgot about the gas. Didn't even mention record gas right now. Okay, so last thing I will push back on. What is the response to this? When a supporter will just say, Jesus, people, calm down. It's not the end of the world. He had a little fun on social media. It's good to see that we don't have a president uptight and can poke the bear a little bit. This is his personality. He's from reality TV. It's who he is. Calm down. Why do you have to turn everything into such an end of the world, 25th Amendment situation?
00:24:27
Speaker 2: And that is what I understand a lot of people say and believe. And I would just say what you put out in the world matters.
00:24:37
Speaker 3: How you say things matters. What you say matters. No matter who you are. And especially if you're the president of the United States.
00:24:43
Speaker 2: It does.
00:24:44
Speaker 1: I guess that is the right response. Everything you say matters. Everything you say is scrutinized. And I didn't see the guy from Wyndot. I hadn't seen that before. That hits. That's doing it out to me. That we're thinking, oh, you're just scribbling out a name. It means something. to people a lot of these mean uh moves that he's making if.
00:25:03
Speaker 2: A name didn't mean anything he wouldn't care to change it so he understands the importance of a name and what why names matter.
00:25:10
Speaker 1: And why his is on everything in this city right and now in this country he's branding the country this is trump's america the united states of trump i wouldn't be surprised if he went for that at this point i would not either We should probably not say that stuff out loud.
00:25:25
Speaker 3: Probably shouldn't.
00:25:25
Speaker 2: No. But yeah, just, hey, if y'all haven't checked it out, we highly recommend going on to Truth Social and just seeing some of this for yourselves.
00:25:36
Speaker 3: All right. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us.
00:25:39
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robach alongside TJ Holmes.
00:25:41
Speaker 3: We'll talk soon.
Speaker 1: Hey there folks it is monday september 7th yes labor day and the president is having a hell of a weekend so far have you seen what the president is posting he's gone from calling robert de niro a jerk to renaming a u.s state and he was just getting started and with that welcome to this episode of amy and tj rose we say this all the time we're going to do one of these episodes like people do you know what the president is posting on social media this is uh And a bunch of extraordinary stuff. This was an extraordinary run he just went on.
00:00:36
Speaker 2: Let's just say this episode is warranted and perhaps a public service. Because you should see what your president is putting out there online.
00:00:49
Speaker 1: And we should say our, just in case anybody gets offended. That's not a political statement.
00:00:52
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you for that. Yours, mine, ours. But in less than 24 hours, the president of the United States... has posted more than 60 posts. I've counted.
00:01:04
Speaker 2: Wow. And you mentioned a few things. He is on a renaming rampage. And he's claiming we own the moon.
00:01:13
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's ours, baby.
00:01:14
Speaker 3: The Strait of Hormuz, U.S. territory.
00:01:16
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:01:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, duh.
00:01:18
Speaker 2: Apparently, he's some Star Wars... dark lord or a savior. I can't tell what it is. He's a McDonald's employee. He's Hulk Hogan. He and George Washington go way back. Joe Biden loves President.
00:01:35
Speaker 1: Trump, apparently.
00:01:37
Speaker 2: And who knew that the Iranian border actually is the outline of Trump's head?
00:01:41
Speaker 3: All of this is crazy. I know none of it makes sense until you've looked at his feed.
00:01:45
Speaker 2: We'll get into the specifics, but this is one of the most bizarre, disjointed.
00:01:53
Speaker 3: posts that I've ever seen from one person.
00:01:55
Speaker 2: And I don't even know, given that he is the president of the United States, how there is enough time in the day.
00:02:01
Speaker 3: And I know he has... Harp.
00:02:03
Speaker 1: It's Harp, right? Natalie Harp?
00:02:04
Speaker 2: He has his Natalie next to him, who is supposed to be in charge of social media.
00:02:09
Speaker 3: But my goodness, they've been busy over the last 24 hours.
00:02:13
Speaker 1: And he posts a lot of stuff oftentimes, we can see. Robes, sometimes it takes on a particular turn that a tone... That it seems something's going on. Like something upset him. Something caught. He was on one. That's the best way. He was on one for the past day. Robes, he's all over the place. Posting stuff that a kid might post. Okay, if you're supporting, yeah, it's funny. This is strength. That's just his personality. Okay, fine. And maybe we should accept it, Robes, as nothing but that.
00:02:44
Speaker 3: Or maybe we should look at it with some level of scrutiny. And actually have a level of concern here.
00:02:52
Speaker 1: Oh, he's just having a little fun. I'm sure is what some are saying. I'm trying to accept him calling an Oscar winner a jerk. Or saying, or putting his face on Hulk Hogan's body. That's fun stuff, I guess. Robes, right? What's the harm in it, I suppose? Is that what we're supposed.
00:03:10
Speaker 2: To be saying?
00:03:10
Speaker 1: I'm playing a little devil. Yeah, I understand.
00:03:12
Speaker 3: And some of it is fun and funny and perhaps harmless.
00:03:16
Speaker 2: Okay. But there actually has been some pretty significant reaction to several of his posts from folks, and it goes beyond just harmless fun.
00:03:23
Speaker 3: People are offended, upset, and concerned.
00:03:29
Speaker 1: About what, though?
00:03:30
Speaker 3: His mental health.
00:03:31
Speaker 1: Okay, let's say that out loud. It's strange, babe, to see a president, sure.
00:03:38
Speaker 3: A grown man.
00:03:40
Speaker 2: Sure.
00:03:40
Speaker 1: You want to add 80-year-old man. A busy man. This is.
00:03:47
Speaker 1: Childlike stuff.
00:03:50
Speaker 3: And that's on the kind end of it.
00:03:52
Speaker 2: I would say the behavior of, on the other side of it, people might say this is, it's lunacy. There's no other way to explain what we're seeing on his feet. And by the way, I just think as Americans, we need to be listening to our president watching what our president says and does reading what our president posts.
00:04:13
Speaker 3: It does matter.
00:04:14
Speaker 2: I don't, I think it's dangerous to just write it off as, Oh, he's just being Trump.
00:04:18
Speaker 3: He's just doing his thing.
00:04:20
Speaker 2: I just think, fine, you can say that, but you should read it and know what you're talking about first.
00:04:25
Speaker 1: Okay, fine. That's fair enough. Before you just say, ah, let them have fun on social media, you should take a peek at it. Okay, that's fair.
00:04:32
Speaker 2: Yes, because it all began around noon on Sunday, correct, when you mentioned the Robert De Niro post?
00:04:37
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:04:38
Speaker 2: Shows Robert De Niro with a Trump is my president t-shirt on him, and.
00:04:46
Speaker 3: The caption was, even this jerk is beginning to get it.
00:04:49
Speaker 1: Okay, he knows everybody knows it's not a real picture, right?
00:04:53
Speaker 3: Obviously it's AI.
00:04:55
Speaker 1: But just something about the president of the United States, this jerk, just to speak that way. I guess, again, it's normal. This has been normalized. I'm not a fan. I'd rather he didn't. It's not even about being a fan of who he's talking about. The president just dropping, telling the guy he's a jerk.
00:05:13
Speaker 3: It's also just his ego on full display.
00:05:15
Speaker 2: Yes, he's calling him a jerk, but he's also putting him in a T-shirt that says, Trump is my president. And then the next post that follow is, within the next hour, there's 10 of them. I mean, just imagine, 10 posts in one hour. Who listening here has ever posted 10 things in one hour in their life?
00:05:31
Speaker 1: It gets worse. And these are just comments.
00:05:32
Speaker 2: It gets worse.
00:05:33
Speaker 1: These are like AI-generated pic. These things took time to put together. He's not just popping off by saying stuff.
00:05:38
Speaker 2: And the next hour, he put up 23 posts in one hour. So in the 1 p.m. hour, he shows himself on a horse in colonial garb next to George Washington.
00:05:49
Speaker 3: He is literally putting himself... Yep. in the same position, place, and space as George Washington.
00:05:57
Speaker 1: No caption. It has him looking ahead and then George Washington looking over at him.
00:06:01
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:06:01
Speaker 1: He posts quite a bit, Rose, with him and George Washington.
00:06:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the next one was George Washington sitting next to him. It looked like he was talking to George Washington with the cabinet and press, watching the two of them.
00:06:14
Speaker 3: It's like no caption, no explanation.
00:06:17
Speaker 1: Right. This is the one, it says President Washington visits President Trump. The one where he's sitting in there. It says that over time. And again, you all have seen this scene before. Remember Zelensky having his meeting in the Oval Office and went back?
00:06:31
Speaker 3: That exact same place.
00:06:33
Speaker 1: Zelensky is, well, Washington is sitting in that seat and it's the whole setup with people around.
00:06:38
Speaker 3: Cabinet, members of his cabinet, yes.
00:06:41
Speaker 2: Then we see him going back to his renaming rampage where he crosses out Lake Ontario, writes America on the map with a red marker.
00:06:49
Speaker 3: Then you see.
00:06:50
Speaker 1: Again, that's an AI-generated photo, right?
00:06:52
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
00:06:53
Speaker 2: Yep. Then you see the New Mexico map. Mexico is X'd out, America typed underneath. Then he goes on from just....
00:07:01
Speaker 3: The world map.
00:07:02
Speaker 2: To the space, yeah, because we're going to own that too. We show, we see the U.S. Space Force service dress uniform.
00:07:10
Speaker 1: Is this real? It's just a pic of the uniform. They look like something from Star Wars.
00:07:13
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:07:14
Speaker 1: For sure. They look like Imperial officers who are working for Darth Vader.
00:07:20
Speaker 2: Yep.
00:07:20
Speaker 3: Again, like no context.
00:07:22
Speaker 2: Then go ahead and go back down to Earth and it shows Donald J. Trump hanging out at a McDonald's drive-thru window waving as if he's an employee.
00:07:30
Speaker 1: No caption.
00:07:31
Speaker 3: What's the point of that one? Don't know. I guess we all know he loves McDonald's.
00:07:34
Speaker 1: But he's in an apron. It looks.
00:07:36
Speaker 3: It looks bizarre. Then we go back to outer space.
00:07:38
Speaker 1: We're still in the first hour?
00:07:39
Speaker 2: Yep. Then we go back to outer space for a picture of the moon, and it just says, the moon is ours.
00:07:44
Speaker 1: It's a great shot.
00:07:46
Speaker 3: The moon is ours.
00:07:48
Speaker 1: No caption on this one.
00:07:49
Speaker 2: No country can own a moon, or the moon.
00:07:52
Speaker 3: Makes no sense.
00:07:53
Speaker 2: Then this is the next one, the before and after picture of Iran on a map in orange, the actual outline of the Iranian border. And then the next picture is Iran in the shape of Trump's head, also in orange with no caption.
00:08:09
Speaker 1: Just before and after picture. So this is the one I'm, Is this fun?
00:08:16
Speaker 3: What is going on?
00:08:17
Speaker 2: I don't know.
00:08:18
Speaker 1: It's war. People are dying. Is this fun?
00:08:20
Speaker 3: No, it's not. It's not funny. It's not fun. It's egotistical. It's disturbing. It's questionable.
00:08:28
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to see the way that other people might see this as everybody calm down. He's just having a little fun on social media, which he's supposed to.
00:08:35
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:08:36
Speaker 2: Then he starts talking about, I didn't even know we had a helipad, but apparently we just completed a helipad. Oh, yeah.
00:08:41
Speaker 1: He's been going crazy about this helipad. Somehow I missed that.
00:08:44
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Talked about Dwight Eisenhower becoming the first president to use a helicopter, saying now America needs one, just completed it, magnificent.
00:08:53
Speaker 3: So, okay, fine.
00:08:54
Speaker 2: Next hour, like I said, 23 posts. And the first one, a strange chart with colors, all in German. And I looked up, it's like, I don't even know. It translates to projection at 7.57 p.m.
00:09:07
Speaker 3: And it has colors. Everything's in German. I have no idea what it is. Okay. Do you see it?
00:09:13
Speaker 1: I see it. There's no caption.
00:09:15
Speaker 3: I tried to start translating some of it. I wasted way too much time. It's bizarre.
00:09:19
Speaker 2: Then the next one is Trump standing next to a TV. It looks like he's in Air Force One with Joe Biden smiling with the Trump 2024 hat on.
00:09:26
Speaker 1: It's a weird one. No caption, right? No caption.
00:09:29
Speaker 2: It's Then is it the Titanic that's sinking on fire with Democratic Party on it?
00:09:34
Speaker 3: I couldn't tell if it was the Titanic.
00:09:35
Speaker 1: I didn't realize. Is that supposed to be the Titanic?
00:09:37
Speaker 3: I think it's the Titanic. But again, no caption, so we don't know.
00:09:39
Speaker 1: Did the Titanic go down in flames?
00:09:41
Speaker 2: No.
00:09:41
Speaker 1: This is very fiery.
00:09:42
Speaker 3: No, it's a fiery Titanic sinking.
00:09:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, icebergs and fire don't usually go together, but I think he is saying that they did.
00:09:50
Speaker 3: The next one, Trump's face in Hulk Hogan's body.
00:09:54
Speaker 2: Why?
00:09:54
Speaker 3: With MAGA on top and an American flag. No caption.
00:09:58
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. Okay, let's... kind of stop on that one. If you just see that the president put that out, would you just go, that's funny, that's all, he's being silly?
00:10:06
Speaker 3: On a dead man's body? I actually feel like it's almost offensive, too.
00:10:11
Speaker 1: Do you need to delve into that? That was a good buddy of his. He wouldn't have mind. There's zero context. But he has the mustache. He has himself with the yellow or the blonde mustache, just like, I don't get that one. Like, that's, he approved that, baby.
00:10:26
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:10:26
Speaker 3: And then the next one is MAGA, Trump pointing on stage.
00:10:29
Speaker 2: He's got, like, it says he will go down in history as the greatest president.
00:10:34
Speaker 3: Of all time.
00:10:34
Speaker 2: Like, what?
00:10:35
Speaker 3: It's just one ego-fueled. post after the next. And some of them just bizarre.
00:10:41
Speaker 1: Maybe he's feeding, baby. Isn't he feeding his base and they find this fun? I mean, hey, there's our guy.
00:10:47
Speaker 3: I guess.
00:10:48
Speaker 2: The next one, I don't know if you have, because I'm really bad with references to any kind of Marvel something, but it shows Trump on.
00:10:55
Speaker 3: A dark, rainy D.C.
00:10:56
Speaker 2: Street with, it looks like, robot-looking guards next to him, soldiers, and it says, they.
00:11:02
Speaker 3: Will never sleep again.
00:11:03
Speaker 1: No caption.
00:11:05
Speaker 3: No caption.
00:11:07
Speaker 2: Then, He has a whole thing about if you have a problem with Lake Ontario being renamed Lake America, just remember the left renamed the following. And some of them are real and some of them are outrageous. But he's saying Columbus Day, the left renamed to Indigenous Peoples Day.
00:11:23
Speaker 3: Okay, that's true.
00:11:24
Speaker 2: Mother and father, the left has renamed mother and father to non-gestational and gestational parent. He said that we've renamed mental illness, that liberals have renamed mental illness to non-binary.
00:11:36
Speaker 1: That's not okay.
00:11:36
Speaker 3: That is terrible.
00:11:38
Speaker 2: Then he said that the liberals renamed felon to justice-involved person. I know he thinks he's being funny there. But yeah, definitely poking the bear. And then you really, this one really bothered you. The next post, Debbie Dingbat.
00:11:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, this woman lost her husband. He goes through this whole thing, and it's kind of what he revealed, I guess he was saying in a private moment, and then used that to call her out and call her names. This is Debbie Dingle, and this is what the president wrote. Quote, upon his death, I gave Congressman John Dingle the royal send-off. Maxed out. His wife, Debbie Dingbat, is what he calls her here. She called me and thanked me profusely while crying uncontrollably. She couldn't believe I would do such a nice thing. Since then, she has or she says nothing but bad about your favorite president, me. Every time I see that third rate loser ripping me, I'm amazed because I'm a loyal person and I don't do things like that. But that's OK. It's politics. However, it shouldn't be that way. And she has a picture of the woman with her now deceased husband.
00:12:50
Speaker 3: It's in such poor taste.
00:12:52
Speaker 1: And a big bowl's Debbie Dingbat over a picture of her and her now deceased husband.
00:12:57
Speaker 2: I feel like this is a kindergartner who is just like, who has.
00:13:05
Speaker 3: I don't even know what to describe.
00:13:07
Speaker 2: But look, by the way, folks, we have only gotten into, this is the third hour of his posting. And it goes in every direction.
00:13:18
Speaker 3: It's off the wall. It's ego-fueled. It's just bizarre. I don't even have the words to describe.
00:13:26
Speaker 2: He then goes on for like The next six or seven talking about Iran's oil exports that other countries cheat. He's got different charts about all of that.
00:13:36
Speaker 3: Lots of charts. Then shows us destroying an oil plant. Then another one.
00:13:42
Speaker 1: Is that the Karg one?
00:13:43
Speaker 3: Karg Island? Bye-bye Karg.
00:13:44
Speaker 2: Um, then Trump looking like another dark Lord with more robotic star Wars, like guards, they will.
00:13:49
Speaker 3: Dream of us forever.
00:13:51
Speaker 2: And then there's another one where he's sitting on a black throne with those same scary guards, give them nightmares.
00:13:56
Speaker 3: Like he's some like dark Lord. I don't understand.
00:14:00
Speaker 1: He's the, again, we're not saying that he's depicting himself.
00:14:02
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm not.
00:14:03
Speaker 2: He looks like some, um, someone who is going to come and wreck in the world.
00:14:08
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what it looks like.
00:14:10
Speaker 2: Um, Just then more of him standing in the ballroom construction saying it'll be the finest of its kind. Then more AI, things of him, we made America great again.
00:14:19
Speaker 1: That image, Robes, he's feeling his age. This comes off a lot of times. Robes, he has been obsessed. We look at it every single morning. He's been obsessed lately with putting out images of himself looking vibrant, looking young. He's posting pictures of himself.
00:14:33
Speaker 3: In control and powerful.
00:14:35
Speaker 2: The next one, he's on a spaceship with hands-on controls blowing things up on Earth. Like he's in command ofâ it's justâ this is frightening stuff. And I think if we normalize this and say he's just joking, I think we're missing something that needs to actually be.
00:14:53
Speaker 1: Talked about more.
00:14:54
Speaker 3: Why are we not discussing this?
00:14:57
Speaker 1: Discuss what? His mental health. Is this a sign of what? Is this a sign of anything other than a guy with an ego that we already knew about?
00:15:06
Speaker 2: Okay. Okay.
00:15:08
Speaker 1: I am actually trying to ask, where do you take this and do anything with it other than... It's Trump. This isn't actionable. He hasn't violated anything. It's confusing, but other.
00:15:20
Speaker 3: Than thatâ It is confusing.
00:15:22
Speaker 2: And then he goes on talking about, like, he's a great golfer, wins all the time, but an even better president.
00:15:27
Speaker 3: A couple of things of him and his golf swings.
00:15:30
Speaker 1: Then he hasâ There's two, right?
00:15:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, two of them.
00:15:32
Speaker 1: There are videos with no caption that just show him teeing off with a golf swing. That's it.
00:15:41
Speaker 2: Okay, and then he has a picture of U.S. presidents, and he has them ranked the greatest, which is himself, President Trump. Then he has who he thinks is great, Lincoln, Washington, FDR, Jefferson, Jackson. Then he has near great, average, below average, and then the failures, and he lists them as Biden, Obama, George, G.W.
00:15:59
Speaker 3: Bush, Harding, Carter, Hoover. Like, what president ranks?
00:16:04
Speaker 2: It's like a kid in school who's ranking his favorite people, and the girls who were, like, ugly and the girls who he wants to have sex with.
00:16:11
Speaker 3: Like, it's like weird. And, and he's like, that's just awful. He is debasing. Like he's, he's ranking us presidents.
00:16:20
Speaker 1: Um, and these do come with, uh, what would you call these little headshots? These are their official pictures and it's stacked in such a way. Right. And it has one picture at the top. It says the greatest Trump at the chart. He's used this one before and robes. I'm, Nixon ranks better than Obama on his list here. Clinton rates about the same as Nixon. Are they in the same group of average? He put Clinton in the average bunch. But Biden and Obama are in the failures. G.W. Bush, failure.
00:16:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the next one he has himself checking Carney in a hockey game.
00:17:01
Speaker 3: Get up, governor. It's just I'm on top and the rest of you losers are on the bottom.
00:17:08
Speaker 1: That one's more cartoonish and clownish. It's AI generated, but it's, I don't know, baby. I don't know. I'm trying to just say, oh, this is fun. Nothing to see here.
00:17:22
Speaker 3: I can't even go through all of these.
00:17:25
Speaker 2: He has Trump hammering Iran with a massive hammer with an American flag, just crushing Iran. again, blowing things up, looking strong in the Oval Office, looking strong walking through the White House.
00:17:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, those two back-to-back are almost the same, but he's putting on an image of himself that.
00:17:45
Speaker 3: Is carefully curated.
00:17:47
Speaker 1: Curated. And it doesn't, there is not, we see him on TV a lot. He never looks like that.
00:17:53
Speaker 2: No, it'd be like me trying to like AI, like, I don't know, myself in a bikini. And just when I was 25, like keep putting it out there. So everyone thinks that's what I look like now.
00:18:02
Speaker 3: I don't know.
00:18:03
Speaker 2: It's just, it seems pathetic is what it ends up coming off as like the opposite of what I know he's trying to impart, but it does feel pathetic. And then he has, uh, him changing the welcome to New Mexico sign to America. Like, it's an AI-generated one. This one really got me. He has a post about women in his administration. Women have had massive job gains. It was a repost to a story, and the captain says, no wonder they like me.
00:18:31
Speaker 1: That's a little problematic, but I get it. Oh, yeah, a lot of people have pointed that one out already. That language is wild.
00:18:37
Speaker 2: What?
00:18:38
Speaker 3: I mean, I just have to... I can't even.
00:18:40
Speaker 2: There's not enough time to go through all the other... um, post he posted about Maria Bartiromo saying he thinks that Trump speech censorship was behind the ouster of her. Um, but he just keeps reposting a bunch of positive stories about himself, which, okay, fine.
00:18:55
Speaker 3: We're used to that.
00:18:56
Speaker 2: But I think, did I get all of the main, like, I like, what the hell am I looking at posts?
00:19:02
Speaker 1: Did you, do you have the language on the Maria Bartiromo one? Um, I'm looking for it. That was specific language that stood out to me in that one.
00:19:09
Speaker 3: I don't, I'd have to pull it up again.
00:19:10
Speaker 2: It was, um, It was one of the more recent posts, but he did say that he, it was a repost of a news article that said that it was something about censoring his speech.
00:19:23
Speaker 3: That's the reason why she was let go.
00:19:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, the way he ended up wording it seemed like, I don't know, he almost seemed proud. He almost seemed proud of it. Wow.
00:19:35
Speaker 3: All right. Well, when we come back.
00:19:37
Speaker 2: We'll tell you what other people have been saying about this 24 hours of, I don't know, how would you describe his feed? of....
00:19:48
Speaker 1: Marathon MAGA madness on social media.
00:19:50
Speaker 2: Wow, you just nailed it. All right, we'll give you the reacts to all of that when we come back. Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and TJ as we discuss the, what was it?
00:20:08
Speaker 3: Marathon, Madness, MAGA, what?
00:20:11
Speaker 1: That was so two minutes ago.
00:20:13
Speaker 3: I know, and I want to remember it. It was so good. I'll have to go back and listen to it myself. Look, we've had some reaction.
00:20:18
Speaker 2: And look, there has been reaction to the renaming rampage that he's been on, but the New Mexico governor, she actually got on to Fox News and said, Her state's name is not up for debate. It's been hours since before the United States existed. She said President Trump was just trying to distract Americans from issues like rising fuel prices.
00:20:41
Speaker 1: And you know what?
00:20:41
Speaker 2: I hadn't thought about that, but maybe this is a little bit of the wag the dog. We also got some reaction. I thought this was interesting. from Grand Chief Pierre Picard of the Huron-Wendat First Nation.
00:20:52
Speaker 1: Oh, about Lake Ontario.
00:20:53
Speaker 2: Yes, Wendats are the people 400 years ago who named Lake Ontario, and this is what he said.
00:21:00
Speaker 3: He's outraged, appalled, and shocked.
00:21:03
Speaker 2: There are no other words to describe how I feel following President Trump's decision to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America.
00:21:10
Speaker 3: He called President Trump's move.
00:21:12
Speaker 2: Abhorrent and unspeakable and said that Trump was trying to eradicate our history.
00:21:17
Speaker 1: Shit.
00:21:18
Speaker 3: There is harm being done.
00:21:19
Speaker 1: There is harm being done.
00:21:20
Speaker 3: And there is harm being felt. And that's real. Now, we've had Canada, the prime minister there speak out. We've had from the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. This does offend people.
00:21:34
Speaker 2: It does change how people feel about the president, but also about the United States of America.
00:21:40
Speaker 1: The response is, who gives a damn? We're America. Is it not?
00:21:43
Speaker 3: And that's the problem.
00:21:44
Speaker 1: That some will applaud and go, yes, we need to protect ourselves. We're a superpower. We're the greatest nation on earth. Yes, do what we tell you to do. We can name it what we want to name it. We are in control of it all. We don't have to respect you. We don't have to respect your culture, your history, your name. We don't. Yeah, okay. That makes us what? It makes... Bullies.
00:22:11
Speaker 3: You just described a bully.
00:22:13
Speaker 1: Well, we're confirming what people suspect of us. We get a bad rap, I think Americans do, and then some of it we earn. This one, I mean, how can you look at this? How can you be, I don't know. I don't know how to be proud. Aha, we got the name back from Lake Ontario.
00:22:29
Speaker 3: It was never ours to begin with.
00:22:30
Speaker 1: I don't know how we feel. That feels good to some. And if it does, everybody has theirs.
00:22:35
Speaker 3: I guess. Yes.
00:22:37
Speaker 2: There was some funny social media reacts to this feed because folks are noticing that this is an especially frenetic, chaotic 24 hours. Someone just put it like this. Trump is absolutely losing it. 25th Amendment now. Exclamation point. Yeah. Someone else wrote, wow, this is just extreme mental illness, narcissistic collapse, and downright Looney Tunes insanity. We will be very lucky to survive this criminal con artist and lunatic another two years.
00:23:10
Speaker 1: I don't know, baby.
00:23:11
Speaker 3: Someone said, why stop at the moon? What about Mars?
00:23:13
Speaker 2: Or even better, he should go to the sun. Quick, how do we warn the Martians? I mean, that's how people are reacting to seeing what he's posting. Again, no context, no caption in a lot of these, just... I don't know if he thinks he's being funny, clever, appealing to the young people who like to make a lot of AI-generated posts. But when it's the president of the United States, you're 80 years old, you're in the middle of a war, you've got an economic crisis on your hands, you're fighting with Canada and Mexico, our neighbors, and you're picking fights with just about every leader that used to be our ally. Yeah, it seems like there are some other things that maybe should be higher on his agenda.
00:23:52
Speaker 1: I forgot about the gas. Didn't even mention record gas right now. Okay, so last thing I will push back on. What is the response to this? When a supporter will just say, Jesus, people, calm down. It's not the end of the world. He had a little fun on social media. It's good to see that we don't have a president uptight and can poke the bear a little bit. This is his personality. He's from reality TV. It's who he is. Calm down. Why do you have to turn everything into such an end of the world, 25th Amendment situation?
00:24:27
Speaker 2: And that is what I understand a lot of people say and believe. And I would just say what you put out in the world matters.
00:24:37
Speaker 3: How you say things matters. What you say matters. No matter who you are. And especially if you're the president of the United States.
00:24:43
Speaker 2: It does.
00:24:44
Speaker 1: I guess that is the right response. Everything you say matters. Everything you say is scrutinized. And I didn't see the guy from Wyndot. I hadn't seen that before. That hits. That's doing it out to me. That we're thinking, oh, you're just scribbling out a name. It means something. to people a lot of these mean uh moves that he's making if.
00:25:03
Speaker 2: A name didn't mean anything he wouldn't care to change it so he understands the importance of a name and what why names matter.
00:25:10
Speaker 1: And why his is on everything in this city right and now in this country he's branding the country this is trump's america the united states of trump i wouldn't be surprised if he went for that at this point i would not either We should probably not say that stuff out loud.
00:25:25
Speaker 3: Probably shouldn't.
00:25:25
Speaker 2: No. But yeah, just, hey, if y'all haven't checked it out, we highly recommend going on to Truth Social and just seeing some of this for yourselves.
00:25:36
Speaker 3: All right. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us.
00:25:39
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robach alongside TJ Holmes.
00:25:41
Speaker 3: We'll talk soon.
