RSS Feed President Trump posted a string of bizarre, and at times offensive, posts over the past several hours. He first reposted video of a 23-year-old British man mauled to death over the weekend by a tiger after entering the animal’s zoo enclosure. Then, Trump posted an AI video of himself, in the exact same position as the man, but in his video, Trump wins a wrestling match with the same tiger. Trump also posted another video clip of big cats mauling people, without a caption or an explanation.

Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Wednesday, October 14th. Truth be told, it takes a lot for President Trump to shock us with what he posts on Truth Social. Ah, but he did on this one. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. He is posting a video of a man that had been mauled to death by a tiger, Robes. He posted that video, and after that, he posted another AI video of himself seemingly wrestling that same tiger. So if I was talking a little fast there, folks, and you didn't really hear what you thought you heard... You did, because that's what the president did. He was on a long flight, right, to Alaska. Is that why he was on this bit of a tweeting spree?
00:00:40
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's been an exceptional several hours. Yes, yes. Where he has just been posting up a storm. But yes, we're kind of used to that. He gets in these manic phases where he just posts a tremendous amount in a short window of time.
00:00:57
Speaker 1: Usually on the weekends, right?
00:00:58
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:00:58
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday.
00:00:59
Speaker 3: So I don't know.
00:00:59
Speaker 2: Maybe he couldn't sleep last night because when I got up at 4 a.m., the last post was two hours prior.
00:01:06
Speaker 3: So I know he's in a bit of a time zone change, but still.
00:01:09
Speaker 2: It's a lot for somebody who should be, I don't know, focused on other issues.
00:01:14
Speaker 1: He can walk a shoe gum. He's got to be able to do a lot of things. Apparently. Run the world, run a war, and yes, post on social media. Yeah.
00:01:21
Speaker 2: Post of him wrestling a tiger, winning, and then befriending said tiger in the hours after a man was mauled to death. And the scary thing about, and the frightening and disturbing thing about his post is that his version, the AI version of him wrestling this tiger and winning. It's set in almost the exact same setting as this young man was in England who had a mental disturbance, a mental break, and went into this enclosure. And yes, it was mauled to death in front of bystanders and witnesses. It was a horrific, awful gutting scene for not only the folks who were there, his family members who loved him. This was somebody who was Who was loved and to think he was mocking his death.
00:02:11
Speaker 1: Mocking is the word, yes.
00:02:12
Speaker 2: And then saying, I could survive it or I have, I don't know what he was trying to say.
00:02:19
Speaker 3: That's the issue. What was the purpose of posting that?
00:02:23
Speaker 1: I'm, I'm, I don't know. Do you think it was funny? We don't know, Robes. And I think a lot of people are familiar with this video by now. It's gone viral. Viral, as they say, but it's been all over the internet. And the victim's family really wishes you would stop looking at it and sharing it. But the man's name is William Chapman. And Robes, a lot of people saw the video because in particular, the way he was sitting, I think the first part of that video, he's sitting on this big grassy area, tiger right there in front of him. And he's leaning back kind of in a certain way that's unmistakable. And, Robes, that's how the president's AI video starts. It's supposed to be an exact copy, if you will, of that scene. However, in the president's AI scene, he doesn't get mauled to death. He wins a wrestling match with this tiger. And at the end, he's hugging this tiger. And again, it's AI, so yes, it looks as real as possible.
00:03:22
Speaker 3: It looks real.
00:03:23
Speaker 1: He's smiling and has his head next to the tiger as the tiger is up on its hind legs embracing the president. Folks, go look at this on Truth Social. You would find it odd, Robes, just to see the president of the United States posting a video like that of himself in a suit and tie, right? But when you add to it that he also just posted a video of this young man dying and mocking it, and Robes, we haven't even mentioned the caption he put in the video he posted of this man's death. I don't know what the point of this is.
00:04:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, he wrote, don't ever mess with nature.
00:04:04
Speaker 2: What?
00:04:05
Speaker 3: It's almost like, you idiot.
00:04:08
Speaker 1: To a young man with severe mental illness who literally just died at the hands of a tiger.
00:04:14
Speaker 2: Yes. And that to me is so appalling. I don't even have words for it. So just to post that video and say, don't ever mess with nature, that would be offensive in and of itself.
00:04:27
Speaker 3: But then a.
00:04:28
Speaker 2: Few hours later, after posting that, to make the choice to mock this man's death and somehow try to show the world that you could survive it is beyond bizarre.
00:04:42
Speaker 1: Wait, you think this was supposed to be a show of strength?
00:04:45
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:04:46
Speaker 3: Look what I can do.
00:04:47
Speaker 1: Through an AI video?
00:04:47
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:04:48
Speaker 3: Yes, I do.
00:04:52
Speaker 2: He wants people to think that he would have been strong enough to survive it. Because all of the videos he's sharing that are so strange over these past several months have been him younger, virulent. He's an Avenger. He's at the controls of a spaceship. He's the one who's killing people and killing things. He's got an army behind him of robots. And he's got all of these images of him being this Darth Vader-like, all-powerful, godlike entity. And so I think that it falls in line when you see him in an AI version winning a wrestling match with a tiger triumphantly and then befriending him After a man in the same exact scenario and setting was mauled to death. Yes, he's trying to say, I'm better than him. I'm stronger than him. I'm more powerful than him.
00:05:42
Speaker 1: I can outlive anyone. We know this is.
00:05:45
Speaker 2: But I feel like it makes him feel good to think he could.
00:05:58
Speaker 3: It's weird. Why would you do... Can you give me another reason.
00:06:03
Speaker 1: Why you would post that?
00:06:04
Speaker 3: He thought it was funny. He thinks it's funny.
00:06:07
Speaker 1: Maybe. Maybe that's it. This is something that's popular. I mean, he has been known to jump on things that people are talking about, no matter what they are, and he has nothing to do with them. He's inserting himself in the middle of this, trying to get attention for... I don't know, baby. This... The first thing I, you know what, the first post I saw about this video was actually on Twitter. I can't remember the guy who put it up, but he attached the video and his caption was simply, it's time to take grandpa's phone away. Like, what is he doing? Is Nancy or Natalie Harp, did she say, hey, do you think this is cool? You want to post it? Or did he ask for it? Either way. I'm disturbed.
00:06:50
Speaker 2: Right. Either he asked someone, hey, can you get an AI version of me wrestling that same tiger, but yet I don't get mauled? Or did someone say, hey, look at this fun AI that someone put together.
00:07:02
Speaker 3: And he's like, that's awesome. Put that up. Like, I don't know. But either way, it doesn't make it any better. Whether he asked for it or he looked at it and said, yeah, post that.
00:07:10
Speaker 1: Which way would you feel worse about it? If she brought it to him or if he came up with it on his own?
00:07:16
Speaker 2: If he came up with it on his own, I think would be worse, but not much worse. I mean, either way, it's disturbing as hell to think it's funny enough or cool enough or makes you feel good about yourself. Like it's just weird. And I don't, I don't like the thought. Imagine if this was your family member. Just, I just want like, take the presidency out of it. If you had your dad or your brother or your friend doing this, you'd be like, dude, you should take that down.
00:07:42
Speaker 3: That is not, that is not a good look. You look like an asshole. you would say.
00:07:48
Speaker 2: Something to your family member or your friend like, dude, why'd you put that up? But no one has, it seems like, it appears as if, the president does not have anyone around him who is willing to actually tell him what he looks like, how his posts and what he says, how they're actually being received. And he may say, I don't give a damn. But I can't imagine anyone is actually telling him What he's doing and the harm he's causing.
00:08:15
Speaker 3: Because this does cause harm.
00:08:17
Speaker 1: But do you have, Rose, his supporters, which he has plenty of, who would look at this and tell the fake news, tell the liberal media, calm down. It's just an AI video. He's just having fun on social media like he always does. This is President Trump. What's the big deal?
00:08:35
Speaker 3: Do better. You're president. That's right.
00:08:36
Speaker 2: You're President Trump, and a family just lost their 23-year-old son who they deeply loved, who they have now put out a statement saying, deeply offensive media content. We please ask people to stop doing this. They are talking about exactly what the President of the United States put on his true social post. His family is asking, begging people to not... make fun of or sensationalize their loved one's tragic death. I mean, this was a form of suicide. It was, you know, and to even mock it in any way.
00:09:16
Speaker 1: It's mocking. He's 100% making fun. I'm seeing the beginning of it. Man, it's tough because if I didn't watch the end of that young man's video. Robes, the stuff is out there. But the beginning of that video, it is unmistakable because he's sitting on the ground a certain way.
00:09:33
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:09:34
Speaker 1: And Robes, to pull up the video of the present, somebody took time and had him sitting the exact same way this guy was before he was mauled by the tiger. Why? You're mocking and making fun of a young man's death. You're almost talking about him in such a way that you were too weak. to handle this thing the way I could.
00:09:55
Speaker 2: That's, that was my reaction when.
00:09:58
Speaker 1: I saw it. That is like that, gets you fired up to look at that image we have it right up here in front of us as we're talking he is sitting exactly the way that man was.
00:10:07
Speaker 2: Sitting exactly the same way and also of note you see in the video because i too watched it up until it got i did not see and i don't ever want to see what ended up happening to that young man But he at one point playfully and folks who were watching said he was saying, you're being a bad tiger. And he was putting up his index finger like, no, no, no, no, no. Like you would do to a toddler or maybe to a puppy or someone, an animal you were trying to train. So this man obviously deeply disturbed and his family talked about his mental illness. But he was waving his finger like that at the tiger. You see in the AI version, President Trump doing the exact same motion. So clearly he is, or whoever put this together, is exactly replicating what happened to 23-year-old William Chapman in England.
00:10:58
Speaker 3: And again, the day of, correct? This all happened within hours of his death being reported?
00:11:03
Speaker 1: Oh my God. And there's no.
00:11:05
Speaker 2: Within hours of this video being posted of this young man being mauled to death, within hours, our president replicated the video of himself in this young man's position, but winning and beating the tiger.
00:11:18
Speaker 3: What the actual, like, let that sink in.
00:11:22
Speaker 1: And then go watch it. You won't believe what you're seeing. You think he possibly asked for this to be made? My problem, Rose, let this sink in for a second. Who in their right mind, given all the president of the United States has going on, would present this to him during the day as something to make a decision on? All he's got going on. Who would think? I would think, I'm not going to show him this. He ain't got time for this. I would be embarrassed. He don't have time to look at this foolishness.
00:11:54
Speaker 2: They must know anytime someone makes an AI of him looking strong, And as you point out, he likes to weigh in on or be a part of whatever is going viral. And he just thought this is the perfect storm. I look strong and I'm winning. And this is a video everyone's talking about. Check and check.
00:12:15
Speaker 1: Well, stay with us, folks. We are talking about this one video that the president posted. Well, he actually posted several other videos, not AI, but certainly just as disturbing. Stay here.
00:12:37
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and TJ. Yes, the president did not stop at reposting the mauling video of 23-year-old William Chapman and then posting an AI version of him in the exact same position as Chapman, yet beating the tiger in a wrestling match and then befriending said tiger.
00:13:00
Speaker 3: He also put.
00:13:01
Speaker 2: Up a series of disturbing videos showing Cats, lions, tigers, attacking humans.
00:13:12
Speaker 1: Kind of vicious stuff. It wasn't cute stuff. Somebody called them cat snuff films that the president posted. He's showing big cats taking people out. There's no caption on that one, right?
00:13:26
Speaker 2: None.
00:13:27
Speaker 1: He just posted the video.
00:13:28
Speaker 3: None.
00:13:28
Speaker 2: And so it's confusing because if you're just scrolling through his Truth Socials, You are so confused as to why you're watching literally people being mauled to death.
00:13:41
Speaker 3: And these are actual videos, correct? They don't look.
00:13:45
Speaker 1: Oh, these aren't doctored things. No, no, no. Those are real. I just... Why?
00:13:50
Speaker 2: What?
00:13:50
Speaker 1: Why? No idea why. Rather than looking through here, hello Greenland with him, an AI video of him peeking over looking at Greenland. He has video after video of himself. He has a picture of him and Melania on his first inauguration day. He does the... And you know the posts he always put up with him standing next to the president of China and some of them. And just with the letters, the bold letters. Trump keeps getting younger. Yeah, it's so weird. He says that about himself. He goes on these sprees. And he is on one right now because of this long flight, I suppose, Robes. But this... I don't know. What was the only video he took down? You remember?
00:14:32
Speaker 2: Did he actually take down the one of the Obamas that ended with.
00:14:36
Speaker 1: Them on apes' bodies, yes.
00:14:39
Speaker 2: Oof, I couldn't even say it out loud because it was so hard to imagine that he... And he claims that he didn't see.
00:14:47
Speaker 3: The end of it. He didn't realize that that's how it ended.
00:14:50
Speaker 1: Somebody else had made that and he just reposted it and didn't think anything of it, blah, blah, blah. But it took a little while before he even took that one down.
00:14:56
Speaker 3: My goodness.
00:14:57
Speaker 1: And the backlash that came. Robes, we say this often. Take a peek. Take a peek at President Trump's truth social. And Robes, I think people would get a different impression if they just tuned into that every now and again. You see the coverage of him on TV and whatnot. You have an idea. some of this stuff, you do think, somebody please take his phone.
00:15:23
Speaker 2: And I guess my question is, is this malicious?
00:15:26
Speaker 3: Is this a cold, dark heart? Is this mental illness of his own?
00:15:30
Speaker 2: I mean, I think all of those things need to actually be spoken about and considered, because this isn't normal behavior.
00:15:38
Speaker 3: This isn't presidential behavior.
00:15:40
Speaker 2: This isn't what we want to see in a leader, and certainly not in somebody who is leading the most powerful country in the world.
00:15:48
Speaker 1: But some don't mind it apparently, right, Robes? He got elected twice, three times if you ask him. I just don't know. This is not a left or a right. This is not a political statement. You don't want to see your president viewed this way. You don't want him to be putting this out, Robes. This is not a good look for him. presidential.
00:16:09
Speaker 2: No. And I think we all need to remember that right now there is a family of a 23 year old young man who is devastated this morning by the death of their loved one. And look, they've described him as bright, warm and engaging. He was a child actor. He had screen credits on a TV show, a popular TV show there in the UK.
00:16:31
Speaker 3: He actually was known to a lot of folks. He went to a prestigious acting school.
00:16:36
Speaker 2: And look, his family says they are devastated.
00:16:39
Speaker 3: They're trying to come to terms with this. Can you imagine just the shock of how he died?
00:16:44
Speaker 2: And yes, they knew that he had severe mental illness. He had been prescribed some strong medication. They don't know if he had stopped taking his pills or what happened, how this break happened. But they want to honor him and remember him and love him and to think that this is going on and these viral videos are out there. But then to learn that the president of the United States is mocking his death less than 24 hours.
00:17:10
Speaker 1: That last part.
00:17:11
Speaker 3: After his death.
00:17:12
Speaker 1: Robed is bad enough. The video is all over the world, right? It's going all over the world online. And the most powerful man in the world is making fun of you. He's making fun of the death. How old was he again, baby?
00:17:28
Speaker 3: 23.
00:17:29
Speaker 1: Making fun of it. And folks, that's not. That is not subjective. He's flat out making fun of the death of a young man that we have video going viral of the death and the president is actually mocking and making fun of it. That's tough, baby.
00:17:45
Speaker 3: We need to pay attention to that.
00:17:46
Speaker 1: I don't know how you justify it. I don't know how you explain it away. And I don't know how you can say, ah, it's just Trump being Trump. It's just, I don't know what to do about it, but you just need to be aware of it, I suppose. But this is not A good look. I hate this for the country. I don't want my president to be doing this.
00:18:04
Speaker 3: Nor do I.
00:18:05
Speaker 2: But we need to pay attention. Please, everyone, check out Trump's Truth Social. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us. I'm Amy Robach, alongside TJ Holmes.
00:18:15
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Wednesday, October 14th. Truth be told, it takes a lot for President Trump to shock us with what he posts on Truth Social. Ah, but he did on this one.

00:00:40
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's been an exceptional several hours. Yes, yes. Where he has just been posting up a storm. But yes, we're kind of used to that. He gets in these manic phases where he just posts a tremendous amount in a short window of time.
00:00:57
Speaker 1: Usually on the weekends, right?
00:00:58
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:00:58
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday.
00:00:59
Speaker 3: So I don't know.
00:00:59
Speaker 2: Maybe he couldn't sleep last night because when I got up at 4 a.m., the last post was two hours prior.
00:01:06
Speaker 3: So I know he's in a bit of a time zone change, but still.
00:01:09
Speaker 2: It's a lot for somebody who should be, I don't know, focused on other issues.
00:01:14
Speaker 1: He can walk a shoe gum. He's got to be able to do a lot of things. Apparently. Run the world, run a war, and yes, post on social media. Yeah.

Speaker 1: Wait, you think this was supposed to be a show of strength?
00:04:45
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:04:46
Speaker 3: Look what I can do.
00:04:47
Speaker 1: Through an AI video?
00:04:47
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:04:48
Speaker 3: Yes, I do.
00:04:52
Speaker 2: He wants people to think that he would have been strong enough to survive it. Because all of the videos he's sharing that are so strange over these past several months have been him younger, virulent. He's an Avenger. He's at the controls of a spaceship. He's the one who's killing people and killing things. He's got an army behind him of robots. And he's got all of these images of him being this Darth Vader-like, all-powerful, godlike entity. And so I think that it falls in line when you see him in an AI version winning a wrestling match with a tiger triumphantly and then befriending him After a man in the same exact scenario and setting was mauled to death. Yes, he's trying to say, I'm better than him. I'm stronger than him. I'm more powerful than him.
00:05:42

I can't remember the guy who put it up, but he attached the video and his caption was simply, it's time to take grandpa's phone away. Like, what is he doing? Is Nancy or Natalie Harp, did she say, hey, do you think this is cool? You want to post it? Or did he ask for it? Either way. I'm disturbed.
00:06:50
Speaker 2: Right. Either he asked someone, hey, can you get an AI version of me wrestling that same tiger, but yet I don't get mauled? Or did someone say, hey, look at this fun AI that someone put together.
00:07:02
Speaker 3: And he's like, that's awesome. Put that up. Like, I don't know. But either way, it doesn't make it any better. Whether he asked for it or he looked at it and said, yeah, post that.
00:07:10
Speaker 1: Which way would you feel worse about it? If she brought it to him or if he came up with it on his own?
00:07:16
Speaker 2: If he came up with it on his own, I think would be worse, but not much worse. I mean, either way, it's disturbing as hell to think it's funny enough or cool enough or makes you feel good about yourself. Like it's just weird. And I don't, I don't like the thought. Imagine if this was your family member. Just, I just want like, take the presidency out of it. If you had your dad or your brother or your friend doing this, you'd be like, dude, you should take that down.
00:07:42
Speaker 3: That is not, that is not a good look. You look like an asshole. you would say.
00:07:48
Speaker 2: Something to your family member or your friend like, dude, why'd you put that up? But no one has, it seems like, it appears as if, the president does not have anyone around him who is willing to actually tell him what he looks like, how his posts and what he says, how they're actually being received. And he may say, I don't give a damn. But I can't imagine anyone is actually telling him What he's doing and the harm he's causing.
00:08:15
Speaker 3: Because this does cause harm.
00:08:17
Speaker 1: But do you have, Rose, his supporters, which he has plenty of, who would look at this and tell the fake news, tell the liberal media, calm down. It's just an AI video. He's just having fun on social media like he always does. This is President Trump. What's the big deal?
00:08:35
Speaker 3: Do better. You're president. That's right.
00:08:36
Speaker 2: You're President Trump, and a family just lost their 23-year-old son who they deeply loved, who they have now put out a statement saying, deeply offensive media content. We please ask people to stop doing this. They are talking about exactly what the President of the United States put on his true social post. His family is asking, begging people to not... make fun of or sensationalize their loved one's tragic death. I mean, this was a form of suicide. It was, you know, and to even mock it in any way.
00:09:16
Speaker 1: It's mocking. He's 100% making fun. I'm seeing the beginning of it. Man, it's tough because if I didn't watch the end of that young man's video. Robes, the stuff is out there. But the beginning of that video, it is unmistakable because he's sitting on the ground a certain way.
00:09:33
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:09:34
Speaker 1: And Robes, to pull up the video of the present, somebody took time and had him sitting the exact same way this guy was before he was mauled by the tiger. Why? You're mocking and making fun of a young man's death. You're almost talking about him in such a way that you were too weak. to handle this thing the way I could.
00:09:55
Speaker 2: That's, that was my reaction when.
00:09:58
Speaker 1: I saw it. That is like that, gets you fired up to look at that image we have it right up here in front of us as we're talking he is sitting exactly the way that man was.
00:10:07
Speaker 2: Sitting exactly the same way and also of note you see in the video because i too watched it up until it got i did not see and i don't ever want to see what ended up happening to that young man But he at one point playfully and folks who were watching said he was saying, you're being a bad tiger. And he was putting up his index finger like, no, no, no, no, no. Like you would do to a toddler or maybe to a puppy or someone, an animal you were trying to train. So this man obviously deeply disturbed and his family talked about his mental illness. But he was waving his finger like that at the tiger. You see in the AI version, President Trump doing the exact same motion. So clearly he is, or whoever put this together, is exactly replicating what happened to 23-year-old William Chapman in England.
00:10:58
Speaker 3: And again, the day of, correct? This all happened within hours of his death being reported?
00:11:03
Speaker 1: Oh my God. And there's no.
00:11:05
Speaker 2: Within hours of this video being posted of this young man being mauled to death, within hours, our president replicated the video of himself in this young man's position, but winning and beating the tiger.
00:11:18
Speaker 3: What the actual, like, let that sink in.
00:11:22
Speaker 1: And then go watch it. You won't believe what you're seeing. You think he possibly asked for this to be made? My problem, Rose, let this sink in for a second. Who in their right mind, given all the president of the United States has going on, would present this to him during the day as something to make a decision on? All he's got going on. Who would think? I would think, I'm not going to show him this. He ain't got time for this. I would be embarrassed. He don't have time to look at this foolishness.
00:11:54
Speaker 2: They must know anytime someone makes an AI of him looking strong, And as you point out, he likes to weigh in on or be a part of whatever is going viral. And he just thought this is the perfect storm. I look strong and I'm winning. And this is a video everyone's talking about. Check and check.
00:12:15
Speaker 1: Well, stay with us, folks. We are talking about this one video that the president posted. Well, he actually posted several other videos, not AI, but certainly just as disturbing. Stay here.
00:12:37
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and TJ. Yes, the president did not stop at reposting the mauling video of 23-year-old William Chapman and then posting an AI version of him in the exact same position as Chapman, yet beating the tiger in a wrestling match and then befriending said tiger.
00:13:00
Speaker 3: He also put.
00:13:01
Speaker 2: Up a series of disturbing videos showing Cats, lions, tigers, attacking humans.
00:13:12
Speaker 1: Kind of vicious stuff. It wasn't cute stuff. Somebody called them cat snuff films that the president posted. He's showing big cats taking people out. There's no caption on that one, right?
00:13:26
Speaker 2: None.
00:13:27
Speaker 1: He just posted the video.
00:13:28
Speaker 3: None.
00:13:28
Speaker 2: And so it's confusing because if you're just scrolling through his Truth Socials, You are so confused as to why you're watching literally people being mauled to death.
00:13:41
Speaker 3: And these are actual videos, correct? They don't look.
00:13:45
Speaker 1: Oh, these aren't doctored things. No, no, no. Those are real. I just... Why?
00:13:50
Speaker 2: What?
00:13:50
Speaker 1: Why? No idea why. Rather than looking through here, hello Greenland with him, an AI video of him peeking over looking at Greenland. He has video after video of himself. He has a picture of him and Melania on his first inauguration day. He does the... And you know the posts he always put up with him standing next to the president of China and some of them. And just with the letters, the bold letters. Trump keeps getting younger. Yeah, it's so weird. He says that about himself. He goes on these sprees. And he is on one right now because of this long flight, I suppose, Robes. But this... I don't know. What was the only video he took down? You remember?
00:14:32
Speaker 2: Did he actually take down the one of the Obamas that ended with.
00:14:36
Speaker 1: Them on apes' bodies, yes.
00:14:39
Speaker 2: Oof, I couldn't even say it out loud because it was so hard to imagine that he... And he claims that he didn't see.
00:14:47
Speaker 3: The end of it. He didn't realize that that's how it ended.
00:14:50
Speaker 1: Somebody else had made that and he just reposted it and didn't think anything of it, blah, blah, blah. But it took a little while before he even took that one down.
00:14:56
Speaker 3: My goodness.
00:14:57
Speaker 1: And the backlash that came. Robes, we say this often. Take a peek. Take a peek at President Trump's truth social. And Robes, I think people would get a different impression if they just tuned into that every now and again. You see the coverage of him on TV and whatnot. You have an idea. some of this stuff, you do think, somebody please take his phone.
00:15:23
Speaker 2: And I guess my question is, is this malicious?
00:15:26
Speaker 3: Is this a cold, dark heart? Is this mental illness of his own?
00:15:30
Speaker 2: I mean, I think all of those things need to actually be spoken about and considered, because this isn't normal behavior.
00:15:38
Speaker 3: This isn't presidential behavior.
00:15:40
Speaker 2: This isn't what we want to see in a leader, and certainly not in somebody who is leading the most powerful country in the world.
00:15:48
Speaker 1: But some don't mind it apparently, right, Robes? He got elected twice, three times if you ask him. I just don't know. This is not a left or a right. This is not a political statement. You don't want to see your president viewed this way. You don't want him to be putting this out, Robes. This is not a good look for him. presidential.
00:16:09
Speaker 2: No. And I think we all need to remember that right now there is a family of a 23 year old young man who is devastated this morning by the death of their loved one. And look, they've described him as bright, warm and engaging. He was a child actor. He had screen credits on a TV show, a popular TV show there in the UK.
00:16:31
Speaker 3: He actually was known to a lot of folks. He went to a prestigious acting school.
00:16:36
Speaker 2: And look, his family says they are devastated.
00:16:39
Speaker 3: They're trying to come to terms with this. Can you imagine just the shock of how he died?
00:16:44
Speaker 2: And yes, they knew that he had severe mental illness. He had been prescribed some strong medication. They don't know if he had stopped taking his pills or what happened, how this break happened. But they want to honor him and remember him and love him and to think that this is going on and these viral videos are out there. But then to learn that the president of the United States is mocking his death less than 24 hours.
00:17:10
Speaker 1: That last part.
00:17:11
Speaker 3: After his death.
00:17:12
Speaker 1: Robed is bad enough. The video is all over the world, right? It's going all over the world online. And the most powerful man in the world is making fun of you. He's making fun of the death. How old was he again, baby?
00:17:28
Speaker 3: 23.
00:17:29
Speaker 1: Making fun of it. And folks, that's not. That is not subjective. He's flat out making fun of the death of a young man that we have video going viral of the death and the president is actually mocking and making fun of it. That's tough, baby.
00:17:45
Speaker 3: We need to pay attention to that.
00:17:46
Speaker 1: I don't know how you justify it. I don't know how you explain it away. And I don't know how you can say, ah, it's just Trump being Trump. It's just, I don't know what to do about it, but you just need to be aware of it, I suppose. But this is not A good look. I hate this for the country. I don't want my president to be doing this.
00:18:04
Speaker 3: Nor do I.
00:18:05
Speaker 2: But we need to pay attention. Please, everyone, check out Trump's Truth Social. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us. I'm Amy Robach, alongside TJ Holmes.
00:18:15
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you soon.
