Top 10 Most Outrageous Media Moments from Trump’s First Day in Office
Some of these instances are so ridiculous that you have to see them to believe them.
🧵 THREAD
#10 - MSNBC mocks Trump’s national emergency declaration at the border.
This is downright pathetic.
MADDOW: “Does it feel like an emergency where you are standing?”
REPORTER: “Feels no different than 20 minutes ago, or 30 minutes ago, or an hour ago when we got here early this morning.”
#9 - CNN commentators watch in awe as Barron Trump’s towering height leaves them momentarily speechless.
“Yes, he’s very tall.”
“Dana Bash—just looking at Barron Trump, I think he’s like 6’5” or something… 6’9”, I’m told.”
#8 - CNN commentator boldly declares that Trump pardoning J6ers is “completely different” than Biden pardoning the likes of Fauci, his brother, and other family members.
This spin on this take is off the charts.
“I want to put those [J6] pardons in separate buckets, and I think we should be talking about them differently because they are not all—all pardons are not created equal, in my opinion.”
#7 - CNN’s Van Jones claims Joe Biden is Mr. “America First” today and gave Trump a “pretty decent economy.”
“You wanna talk about America First? That’s Joe Biden today.”
“Joe Biden’s putting America first.”
“He’s actually giving Donald Trump not just the dignity of a good transition, he’s giving a pretty decent economy.”
“I think it’s an important moment. It’s a powerful moment. Joe Biden probably stayed too long, but he stayed too long because he thought he had more good to do.”
“He won’t get a chance to do that good, but he’s handing off a better economy than he got, and he’s doing it in a more decent way, showing more decency than he received. You want to talk about America First, that’s Joe Biden today.”
#6 - CNN’s Jake Tapper has an awkward moment on air, as he is not sure how to describe Tucker Carlson.
TAPPER: “Tucker Carlson, also the former Fox host, now popular podcaster and YouTube hoster. I’m not exactly sure what they call him, but influencer, certainly very influential.”
CO-HOST: “Very influential.”
TAPPER: “Yes, absolutely. Anderson Cooper.”

#5 - CNN host interrupts the broadcast during the Inaugural Parade to let everyone know that JD Vance’s daughter had “Bluey” bandages on.
Cutting-edge journalism right here.
ERIN BURNETT: “So those are the obviously the Butler County first responders who are marching in—”
HOST 2: “Also, Erin. One quick note because our panel, Abby Philip and Jake [Tapper], were talking about it a little bit earlier. Apparently, the bandages on JD Vance’s daughter’s fingers, her name is Mirabel, by the way, are Bluey bandages. I think your kids may be a little bit older than mine. Bluey is very popular in our house. But that’s just to put a button on an earlier conversation.”
BURNETT: “Well, it is his normalcy and approachability for JD Vance that is a great appeal for many.”
#4 - MSNBC bombards its viewers with commentary while President Trump is actively speaking.
Among all the networks broadcasting right now, MSNBC stands out as the only one silencing Trump’s address and putting it in the background.
This so-called editorial policy is aimed at maintaining “journalistic integrity.”
The network has previously expressed concerns about airing content that may contain “misinformation” or unverified claims.
#3 - CNN brings on the son of a J6 defendant who claims he had to buy a gun and flee to protect himself from his dad, whom Trump is about to pardon.
They just won’t let go of this “insurrection” narrative.
Jackson Reffitt, who reported his father to the FBI, says, “I’ve taken as many precautions as I could recently. I’ve picked up a gun, I’ve moved, and I’ve gotten myself away from what I thought would be a dangerous situation and staying where I thought my dad could find me or other people.”
He added, “My father’s actions coming from the Trump presidency and what he thought he was doing was right just destroyed it [my family]. I made a very, very disgusting decision to inform authorities about what he was doing, and I still feel horrible about it every day.
“My sisters are out there right now, and they’re rooting for him. I understand that. I come from a place of love toward them. I want to be there for them, but I can’t. It just isn’t safe for people like me who have done what I did to protect my family... I cannot feel safe around him [father].”
#2 - CNN commentator stuns the panel with a HUGE compliment for President Trump.
“There’s something about him. It’s probably the word charisma, and it’s attributable to him being elected again.”
Michael Smerconish made these comments after thinking it would be impossible for Trump to make a political return after J6.
“I would never have believed that we’d be back in this position today, as he was headed back to Florida, not having attended Joe Biden’s inaugural. And I don’t think you can attribute that solely to issues like the economy and immigration.”
#1 - CNN suggests Elon Musk made a Nazi salute during Trump's event at Capitol One arena, purposely leaves out Musk's comments when he said his heart goes out to the crowd.
CNN: "It's a salute. It was quick. I think our viewers are smart and they can take a look at that, but it certainly was, it's not something that you typically see at American political rallies."
Musk: "My heart goes out to you."

MORE MEMORABLE MOMENTS (not directly from the media):
BONUS #1 - Joe Rogan, Tim Cook (Apple), Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Shou Zi Chew (TikTok CEO), and Jeff Bezos (Amazon) were all spotted arriving at President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
BONUS #2 - Senator John Fetterman showed up to Trump's inauguration in gym shorts and a Carhartt sweatshirt.

@CollinRugg BONUS #3 - During her performance of “America the Beautiful” at Trump’s inauguration, Carrie Underwood faced technical difficulties when the music failed.
Showing professionalism, she asked the audience for help and sang the song a cappella like a legend.
Video: @KitMaherCNN
BONUS #4 - Donald Trump signs a wave of game-changing executive orders in front of a crowd of tens of thousands after the Inaugural Parade.
This includes:
1. Rescinding 78 Biden-era executive actions, orders, and memoranda.
2. Implementing a regulatory freeze to halt new regulations until full control of the government is achieved.
3. Freezing federal hiring, with exceptions for the military and other specified categories.
4. Requiring all federal workers to return to full-time in-person work immediately.
5. Directing every federal department and agency to address the ongoing cost of living crisis.
6. Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement, saving over a trillion dollars.
7. Sending a letter to the United Nations to formally announce the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement.
8. Restoring freedom of speech and preventing government censorship of free speech.
9. Ending the weaponization of government against political adversaries of the previous administration.
BONUS #5 - Trump gives his son, Barron, an epic shout-out, and Barron takes it in like a total rock star.
“Then I have a very tall son named Barron. Has anyone ever heard of him?”
“He knew the youth vote… And he was saying, Dad, you got to go out and do this [podcast] or that one.”
“He understood the market.”

In other news, Dave Chappelle recently made comments about Trump. See what he said about the president below:
You were told the U.S. cut ties with the WHO.
But that was never true.
Despite the public announcement, the Trump administration is still quietly working with the WHO, specifically on flu vaccines and pandemic coordination.
Just like when they claimed gain-of-function research had ended—only to aggressively keep funding it—the U.S. is still collaborating with the WHO.
The details paint a very dark picture.
Investigative journalist @JonMFleetwood has been digging deep into into this topic. What he found changes everything. 🧵
@JonMFleetwood opened the conversation by exposing a bait-and-switch at the highest levels of U.S. health policy.
Despite headlines claiming the Trump administration had cut ties with the World Health Organization, he revealed something very different beneath the surface. The U.S. was still in active talks with the WHO—specifically over flu vaccine collaboration—and CNN even confirmed HHS remained “in ongoing conversations” about it.
At the same time, half a billion dollars of U.S. taxpayer money was quietly funneled into a bird flu vaccine program, while federal agencies kept greenlighting gain-of-function experiments on influenza viruses.
“We’re creating the problem and the solution at the same time,” Fleetwood said, pointing to labs engineering viruses for increased transmissibility and immune escape, then using those very threats to justify pandemic planning and mass vaccination.
“Out of one side of their mouth they’re telling the American people that hey, we have totally withdrawn from the WHO… but if you look at what they’re saying out of the other side of their mouth, they’re still keeping ties… specifically with bird flu.”

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny delivers a vaccine warning every parent should hear before it’s too late.
“Vaccines have never been proven to be safe. They don’t keep you from getting sick… and every single one causes HARM.”
Most believe they’re “fine” after vaccines, but Tenpenny says that confidence is misleading, beginning with three uncomfortable questions:
1.) “Do you have any idea what’s going on at a cellular level in your body? From your mitochondria or your ovaries or your brain?”
2.) “When you were a baby, and you got vaccines, did you scream and cry? Did your mother ever tell you that it is a sign of encephalitis (brain inflammation)?”
3.) “And what if your IQ is really meant to be 15 or 20 points higher? You would not know that.”
The real danger with vaccines, Dr. Tenpenny argues, has nothing to do with “rare side effects.”
It’s about damage you’d never know how to measure. And once you see the pattern, it’s impossible to ignore. 🧵

For all the sources and details, read the full report below.
The medical industry often dismisses vaccine injury as “psychological.”
Why? The symptoms are often varied, can range in severity, and are hard to classify. Basically, they’re all over the map. And doctors have been encourage through various means to put blinders on when it comes to vaccine injury.
But history shows that this has happened before. Reports of strange, disabling, and very real physiological symptoms after vaccination go back more than a century.
The patterns have always been there, hidden in plain sight under constantly shifting labels.
Big Pharma wants you believe Alzheimer’s is incurable, but one brain surgeon is naming three substances that fight Alzheimer’s WITHOUT the side effects.
#1 is Curcumin, which increases mitochondrial function and reduces the inflammatory chemicals that trigger Alzheimer’s.
#2 is DHA (from omega-3 fats) - “DHA removes almost all the amyloid from brains.”
#3 is EGCG (from green tea) - ECGC has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that counter neurodegenerative processes.
Dr. Russel Blaylock says these substances are ignored by mainstream medicine—not because they don’t work, but because pharmaceutical companies “couldn’t make a profit off it.”
So, research and promotion are abandoned.
If effective treatments can be buried, what else aren’t we being told about Alzheimer’s disease? 🧵
It turns out, Alzheimer’s may not actually begin with memory loss.
It may begin with something far more ordinary—and far more overlooked.
The brain has no conventional waste-removal system. Instead, it relies on a specialized drainage network that only activates during deep sleep. That’s when toxic proteins, inflammatory byproducts, and metabolic waste are flushed out.
But when that system fails, waste accumulates—night after night.
Neurons don’t just “age.” They suffocate!
This may explain why poor sleep doubles dementia risk—and why sedatives often make things worse by suppressing the very stage of sleep the brain needs to clean itself.
For decades, medicine chased plaques while ignoring drainage.
And that mistake may have cost millions their minds.
Alzheimer’s isn’t a mystery disease. It’s a system failure.
Big medicine wants you to believe the big myth—that Alzheimer’s is a single, inevitable brain disease caused by amyloid plaques—and that nothing meaningful can be done about it until you deal with the plaques.
And for decades, medicine chased this theory—while ignoring everything else. Things like blood flow, inflammation, toxins, sleep, trauma, and metabolic collapse were brushed aside.
Billions were spent on the amyloid plaque theory. Yet no cures were delivered.
Meanwhile, real reversals of Alzheimer’s were getting ignored.
Jordan Peterson almost died trying to stop a drug that's prescribed to millions of people for anxiety.
Most patients are never told that benzodiazepines are among the only drugs where withdrawal can actually kill you. Right alongside alcohol.
And yet doctors hand them out like candy.
Peterson didn’t abuse them. He didn’t chase a high. He took a low dose, as prescribed, during an extreme period of stress when he couldn’t sleep. It “worked.” So he stayed on it.
And that’s when the real danger began.
Getting off took years. Excruciating pain. Nerve damage. Physical collapse. A recovery that still isn’t complete.
Psychiatrists were told these drugs were completely safe. The risks of dependence? Downplayed. The severity of withdrawal? Barely acknowledged. Patients stayed on them for decades because stopping felt impossible—and sometimes it was.
The anxiety crisis didn’t appear out of nowhere. It was manufactured—quietly, legally, and with full institutional backing. 🧵
Anxiety is now one of the most common mental health issues in the US.
In fact, anxiety affects over half of young adults today, with 43% experiencing panic attacks.
A staggering 54% say their anxiety worsened in 2023, and 26% were diagnosed with a new mental health condition due to COVID.
Many are turning to medications that don’t actually help and with side effects they just don’t understand.
Despite the routine use of medications, the anxiety problem keeps getting worse.

When the freedom convoy protested Canada’s vax mandates, Trudeau’s Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland issued a grave warning:
“We now have the tools to follow the money.”
What that meant was your bank account will be frozen, the insurance on your vehicle will be suspended, and if someone donates to your cause, their bank accounts will be frozen, too.
How different things would be if the people had the tools to “follow the money” in government spending. Instead, surveillance runs one way, downward, while power and secrecy flow upward.
This is true for almost every single Western Nation. And it’s the exact opposite of what the Founding Fathers wanted.
When governments treat their citizens like pawns, a revolutionary course of action is required. And it starts by opting out of their tyrannical financial system. 🧵
COVID took us all by surprise by showing how fast freedom can vanish when a so-called crisis takes hold. Just two weeks to stop the spread, they told us. Well, those two weeks dragged on for four years. They wiped out small businesses, censored your speech and came after your job over a pathogen with a 0.3% kill rate.
That wasn’t a health crisis. It was an attempt to subdue society by also a massively lucrative wealth funnel. Between March of 2020 and late 2021, the COVID era created about 573 new billionaires worldwide.
And the existing billionaires got even richer.
And while they dangled endless carrots about what we needed to do to get back to normal, the same people who told you what to inject also decided who got rich. And as bad as Covid was, it was only a dress rehearsal for what comes next.
The next phase is already being discussed openly:
• Digital IDs.
• CBDCs.
• Social credit scores.
• Access to “privileges” based on compliance.
But know this: you can fight back. You don’t have to comply with their monetary system.
And that same instinct that made you skeptical in 2020 is the instinct that could position you for generational wealth now.
BlockTrust IRA Brand Ambassador Pastor Allen joins us to discuss.
The government didn’t just lie to you during COVID.
Most Americans now believe it helped kill people.
“Almost 6 in 10 Americans literally think the government colluded with corporations to murder Americans,” @honestpollster revealed—and that number keeps climbing.
This isn’t a fringe belief anymore. It’s gone fully mainstream.
And yet, no one has been arrested. Not a single pharma executive has faced consequences. And the CEO of Pfizer? Still donating to both parties.
Trump had a clear opportunity to deliver justice. Instead, the very people his base wanted behind bars were shielded.
And now, that failure to act is starting to show.
Trump’s polling is taking a serious hit, whether it be the lack of accountability, no action on election integrity, foreign entanglements, or even immigration.
Americans are speaking, but is anyone listening?
What are the midterms going to look like? And what exactly is the political future of America? There’s no one better to discuss this than Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen Reports, the pollster Fox News needs but doesn’t want.
Mark joins us now.
🧵 THREAD
The conversation opened with a question that’s been on a lot of minds lately: why are Trump’s policies polling better than the man himself? @honestpollster didn’t hold back.
He said the problem isn’t the message—it’s the gap between what was promised and what people actually see.
“You can’t force public opinion,” he warned. Voters remember the pledges to restore the American dream, secure the border, and drain the swamp. But what they’re seeing is a system that still looks rigged—and no one behind it has gone to jail.
“There’s a level of desperation and an exasperation in the system that has failed people,” he explained. Americans trusted Trump more than the federal government, but after years of waiting, visible change is still missing.
The most jarring moment came when Mitchell cited polling that showed “almost 6 in 10 Americans literally think the government colluded with corporations to murder Americans” during COVID.
Meanwhile, the CEO of Pfizer remains untouched, protected by donations to both parties. “He wants credit for draining the swamp,” he said, “but he isn’t getting it.”
This wasn’t an attack. It was a reality check from someone who’s listening to the people. The movement is still alive—but voters aren’t waiting for slogans. They’re waiting for justice. And they’re running out of patience.
