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:
Trump Delivers Historic First Speech as 47th President
“The golden age of America begins right now.”
🧵 THREAD
In his inaugural address, President Trump declared, “The golden age of America begins right now.”
He emphasized, “From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world.”
Trump pledged to “put America first” and outlined plans to address high inflation, reform immigration policies, boost energy production, and reverse electric vehicle mandates.
Trump addressed the people of disaster-stricken North Carolina and Los Angeles, highlighting how they’ve been failed by a government that “can no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency.”
REPORT: A new study confirms that COVID-19 mRNA injections spread to vital organs and trigger systemic, toxic spike protein production.
This “conspiracy theory” just became a reality.
The new study, published in Nature Biotechnology, reveals alarming details about the biodistribution of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) carrying SARS-CoV-2 spike mRNA.
The study demonstrated that even at extremely low doses (0.0005 mg/kg), these LNPs deliver mRNA to cells in vital organs, leading to the production of toxic spike protein. According to the researchers, this protein triggers immune activation and causes damage to blood vessels.
Meanwhile, autopsy findings now confirm the systemic presence of spike protein in tissues and organs, raising serious questions about the safety of these so-called vaccines.
Epidemiologist @NicHulscher didn’t hold back in his response to the news of this study, stating:
“Biodistribution studies should have been performed BEFORE mass ‘vaccination’ of the entire world’s population. These invasive gene therapy injections must be pulled from global markets immediately.”
Cutter Polio Vaccine (1950s): PULLED after 5 deaths and 51 cases of paralysis.
Swine Flu Vaccine (1976): PULLED after 25 deaths linked to Guillain-Barré syndrome.
RotaShield Vaccine (1999): PULLED after 15 cases of bowel obstruction in infants.
COVID Vaccine: STILL on the market despite “thousands upon thousands of peer-reviewed manuscripts indexed in the National Library of Medicine that demonstrate harms from these injections.”
Epidemiologist @NicHulscher says, “These vaccines have far surpassed the threshold for withdrawal of a product.”
1. “There’s 12 studies now and the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System that demonstrate these injections do in fact increase your risk of death, reduce life expectancy, and contribute to excess mortality among populations worldwide.”
2. “We also have DNA contamination. This is confirmed worldwide across multiple manufacturers, multiple batches.”
3. “And then we have this negative efficacy. The vaccines don’t work. They increase your risk of infection. And so clearly, these shots have been demonstrated to be dangerous, ineffective.”
“These vaccines have far surpassed the threshold for withdrawal of a product. There’s just no argument. The data is there. There is no reason to deny it. People need to act accordingly with the data,” Hulscher says.
Follow @NicHulscher and @McCulloughFund for more breaking news on the COVID-19 injections and other pressing matters involving public health.
Gates revealed to the Wall Street Journal that he had a three-hour conversation with Trump about “global health,” saying he was “frankly impressed.”
What Gates isn’t telling you is that he has been funding risky research projects, including a $9.5 million effort at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to study how bird flu viruses (H5N1) might evolve to infect humans.
According to epidemiologist @NicHulscher, this work could actually make bird flu more transmissible to humans and “qualifies as bioterrorist activity.”
“And also recently, the Russian Ministry of Defense gave a briefing, and in the briefing, they laid out who is funding these illicit African Biolabs run by the US Military. It’s none other than the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and even the Clinton Foundation,” Hulscher revealed.
“So these guys are funding this extremely dangerous research. It’s risking millions of lives,” he warned.
Bill Gates has also explicitly referred to India as his “laboratory” for testing experimental drugs. Such statements raise serious ethical questions about the billionaire’s intentions, especially when he openly expresses a desire to reduce the world’s population.
Adding fuel to the fire, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently announced an investment of nearly $600 million in Moderna’s bird flu vaccine development. As journalist Maria Zeee (@zeee_media) pointed out, “Someone is expecting a return on that investment.”
“Why is a man that funds bioterrorist activities... speaking with the president about public health?” Hulscher asked.
“He should not be allowed to meet with the President. In my opinion, he should actually be behind bars.”
Meanwhile, more damning evidence continues to mount against the COVID-19 injections. @NicHulscher lays out the evidence, demonstrating why these shots should be pulled from the market.
Watch as he presents the facts.

#9 - Bill Maher Torches California’s Disastrous Wildfire Response in Brutal Monologue
After 27 fatalities, the destruction of over 12,000 structures, and $150 to $250 billion in damages, California resident and comedian Bill Maher didn’t hold back his outrage over his state’s catastrophic wildfire response on Real Time.
In a scathing monologue, Maher first pointed out to the climate cult that mandating EVs and shaming people for their carbon footprints means nothing when the government can’t even manage wildfires.
“You know what the absolute worst thing for the environment is? Wildfires. A 2022 study found that the smoke from just the two in 2020 wiped out 18 years of carbon reduction in the state—which means we suffered the pain of driving those early-model Priuses for nothing,” Maher quipped.
Maher zeroed in on LA Mayor Karen Bass’s selection of Kristin Crowley as fire chief, suggesting she was only chosen for being the “best lesbian” for the job instead of the best person—something Maher argued was “not good enough” for essential services.
Maher went on to admit that it’s “not wrong” to blame wokeness for California’s disastrous fire response, turning his attention to Deputy Fire Chief Kristine Larson, whose recent comments are so absurd that Maher called them “kind of racist.”
In his final words, Maher warned California that they better figure out how to actually govern “soon” because “wildfires in California are like boob jobs in a strip club: inevitable, and only getting bigger.”
#8 - James O’Keefe Exposes Secret Pentagon Plot to Sabotage Trump’s Return
Dave Chappelle Captures Attention With His Comments on Trump and Jimmy Carter
After cracking up the audience with his Diddy jokes, Chappelle switched tones and got serious.
🧵 THREAD
Legendary comedian Dave Chappelle brought the laughs with a masterful 16-minute monologue to open SNL’s first episode of 2025.
After delivering a range of laugh-out-loud moments, his message to Trump is now commanding widespread attention.
Audience members started rolling when Chappelle discussed the catastrophic wildfires that devastated California—to which he dropped a hilarious conspiracy theory on what started the fires in the first place.
“What started these fires? Now they say it’s arsonists. I’ve heard this theory, and I’m sure there were some arsonists, but there were a lot of elements that came together to make this fire the catastrophe that it was,” Chappelle said as he was setting up the punchline.
“The winds were 100 miles an hour. LA was dry as a bone in the levees. And there were just too many factors. If you are a rational, thinking person, you have to at least consider the possibility that God hates these people.”
Next came a laugh-out-loud, three-minute story about Diddy and why Chappelle was never invited to his “freak offs.”
True to his style, Chappelle leaned into self-pity, coming to an amusing conclusion that left the audience rolling.

It’s about time that a liberal actually said this.
🧵 THREAD
After 27 fatalities, the destruction of over 12,000 structures, and $150 to $250 billion in damages, California resident and comedian Bill Maher didn’t hold back his outrage over his state’s catastrophic wildfire response on Real Time.
In a scathing monologue, Maher first pointed out to the climate cult that mandating EVs and shaming people for their carbon footprints means nothing when the government can’t even manage wildfires.

Maher zeroed in on LA Mayor Karen Bass’s selection of Kristin Crowley as fire chief, suggesting she was only chosen for being the “best lesbian” for the job instead of the best person—something Maher argued was “not good enough” for essential services.
“Am I against a lesbian being chief? Of course not. Do I think a lesbian can do the job? Of course, I do. And maybe she’s the best person for the job. Or maybe they really wanted a lesbian in that job, and she’s just the best lesbian for the job, and with essential services, that’s not good enough,” Maher snapped.
“Crowley’s official bio says, ‘Chief Crowley leads a diverse department, creating, supporting, and promoting a culture that values diversity, inclusion, and equity, while striving to meet and exceed the expectations of the communities.’ Well, you didn’t exceed my expectations, which was that the whole city wouldn’t burn down!” he stressed.
“But it’s telling that diversity is mentioned twice before we get to ‘while striving to meet expectations.’ Now, can you do two things at once? Yes, but it matters where your head is,” Maher argued.
