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.”

Before the hepatitis B vaccine was mandated for kids to attend school in almost all 50 states, the risk of a baby dying from hepatitis B was 1 in 7 million.

“That means you need to give 7 MILLION hepatitis B vaccines to prevent ONE death,” RFK Jr. says.

When you give 7 million vaccines to save one life, you’d better make damn sure it’s safe.

But is it really? Let’s take a look at the evidence. 🧵

Every newborn in America is pushed toward a Hepatitis B vaccine within hours of being born.

And that sounds completely normal to most people because the policy has been normalized for decades.

But when you take a close look at Hepatitis B, the risk group, the benefit math, and the forgotten safety record, the birth-dose policy becomes very difficult to defend.

Hepatitis B is a real disease.

Chronic infection can damage the liver, lead to liver failure, and increase the risk of liver cancer later in life.

That part is not the dispute.

The dispute is whether every newborn, including babies born to mothers who test negative for Hepatitis B, should receive the vaccine on their very first day of life.

You may have missed this news recently - the health insurance system in America is so broken, that the Trump administration is quietly rewriting the Affordable Care Act and buried deep in a monstrous 1,000+ page document is a ploy to let health insurance companies start lending money to patients to pay for their medical care.

That's right: if you get hit with a devastating diagnosis or an unexpected emergency, your "insurance" company won't just pay the bill... they'll offer you a loan instead. So you can go deeper into debt to the very same industry that's already failing you.

Let me say that again. You pay health insurance so that you'll be insured in a time of a health crisis. Already, health insurers are denying nearly 20% of claims and out of pocket expenses keep rising. So instead of them paying your bill, which is what you pay the insurance for, they'll now be incentivized to deny even more bills or raise out of pocket expenses in order to cash in on the interest they'll be collecting.

A third of American households are already drowning in medical debt — and now insurers get to pile on even more, with interest. While these companies rake in billions in profits, everyday people will be trapped paying back loans for the care they thought was "covered." This isn't fixing healthcare.

This is turning your health insurer into your loan shark — and making an already predatory, dysfunctional system even more financially crushing for ordinary Americans. Classic "you get sick, you go broke" American healthcare — now with extra debt servitude.

On the plus side, there is a company that is providing a solution to this problem. CrowdHealth, a member focused health care company is saving Americans tens of thousands of dollars, and in May of this year 100% of medical bills were funded.

No loans needed. No exorbitant premiums. No crazy out of pocket expenses. A model that is actually working, is not throwing Americans into bankruptcy because of an unexpected health event, is saving people money, and getting them the health care they need.

Andy Schoonover from CrowdHealth joins us now to discuss.

A billionaire recently mused that the ultra-wealthy get the top doctors, the best lawyers, the elite tutors, and wondered aloud what it would take to give every American that kind of access. Andy’s answer is that it already exists, just not the way Reid Hoffman imagines it.

Inside CrowdHealth, your income doesn’t decide your doctor. “Whether you’re making $30,000 a year or $3 million a year, you have access to the same doctors.” Members up and down the economic ladder have walked into Mayo, MD Anderson, Stanford, Cleveland Clinic.

The real threat to that access isn’t money. It’s bureaucracy. As government plans expand, the best doctors are quietly heading for the exits. Mayo Clinic recently dropped a slate of Medicare Advantage plans rather than swallow the government’s reimbursement rates. Andy’s read on the pattern is blunt: “Free markets tend to exit stage left and the government bureaucracy enters as the main character.”

His prediction is that within a decade the top doctors stop taking insurance entirely. CrowdHealth’s bet is that members who already pay doctors directly are built for exactly that world.

But cash-pay only matters if the money actually arrives when you’re the one in the hospital bed. So how does a crowd of strangers guarantee your bill gets paid?

Health insurance in America is broken.

Over 200,000 Americans go bankrupt because of medical bills every year—and many of them already had insurance. On average, 20% of claims are denied, leaving families stuck paying massive out-of-pocket costs after spending thousands on premiums.

But there’s an alternative.

CrowdHealth is a community-powered model that has helped members fund over 40,000 medical bills at a fraction of the cost of traditional insurance.

So far, 30,000+ members have been helped, saving an estimated $73 million in medical costs.

CrowdHealth isn’t insurance. It’s a way to step outside the broken system and take control of your healthcare.

RFK Jr. once said: “They’re making $60 billion a year selling us vaccines, but they’re making $500 billion a year selling the remedies for the injuries caused by vaccines.”

“This is a really great business plan for [pharmaceutical] companies. You make people sick, and then you sell them the lifetime cure.”

This interview, which originally aired on September 17, 2020, was removed by YouTube for “medical misinformation.”

But was it really “misinformation,” or was RFK Jr. leading viewers to an inconvenient truth?

In just about every industry, a great product makes you rich beyond belief, except one: medicine.

The rules for enrichment work differently here. And the reason why is exactly what they don’t want you to know. 🧵

There’s a principle that I’m sure you’re familiar with: once you see it, you can’t unsee.

No industry built to solve a problem ever actually solves it. Think about it—a cure for the problem is a death sentence for the paycheck. The cancer charity that beats cancer has to close its doors. The dating app that finds you a partner just lost a paying user.

So problems don’t get solved. They get managed. Indefinitely.

And nowhere has this been turned into more of an art form than medicine.

We’re taught to see healthcare as a race toward cures. Brilliant minds, billions in research, all pointed at making disease disappear.

But that’s not how it works.

Let’s take a look at how the business model actually works. It’s actually pretty simple.

A cured patient stops paying. A managed patient pays forever.

When those two incentives collide, take a guess at which one usually wins.

Did you know that the death rate from measles declined by 98% BEFORE the measles vaccine was introduced?

“This is all on the CDC website… That decline had nothing to do with vaccines.”

So, if vaccines didn’t do it, what caused that decline from 1900 to 1963?

The answer is better nutrition, better sanitation, clean water, etc., according to Attorney @AaronSiriSG.

Yet “science” wants you to believe that vaccines saved the day.

But that’s not even the biggest vaccine deception. It’s what happens before they approve these shots for human use. 🧵

Faith in vaccines is just that. Faith.

Complete trust. Allegiance to duty. Belief in something for which there is no proof.

Medicine has carefully crafted a myth that it and only it rescued humanity from the dark ages of deadly disease. The kind of disease that was lurking around every corner, ready to wipe us off the map for all of eternity.

And because medicine so valiantly rescued us from erasure, it deserves ultimate supremacy. It should never be questioned. It can do no wrong.

A central part of medical mythology is the belief that vaccines ended infectious disease. And because it is indeed mythology and its adherents are acting on faith alone, it requires no proof and can simply dismiss any and all evidence against that bold claim.

But the evidence is not lacking. Far from it.

Despite medicine’s best efforts to hide and obscure it, those seeking the truth can plainly see it.

In this short presentation, Secretary Kennedy lays it out for all to see. There is no evidence that vaccines were responsible for the decline in infectious disease that has so aggressively been credited to them.

It is pure mythology.

In 2014, 300 scientists warned Anthony Fauci would start a global pandemic.

Following the high-profile escape of three bugs from U.S. labs, these 300 scientists sent a letter to President Obama, urging him to shut down Anthony Fauci's gain-of-function research.

Obama issued a moratorium and shut down 18 of the worst projects by Anthony Fauci. In the end, he really didn't shut them down. Instead, Obama moved the research offshore to places like Ukraine, the former Soviet State of Georgia, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China.

Now, it is widely accepted that COVID-19 originated from that very lab in Wuhan, China.

Those 300 scientists were right about Fauci…

But the big question is, why are people like him so obsessed with creating dangerous pathogens in the first place? 🧵

Bioweapons research is always sold with the same simple promise:

We have to make pathogens more dangerous so we can learn how to stop them.

Honestly, that sounds insane when stated plainly.

But somehow this logic has funded a massive industry for decades, and the safety record is far worse than most people realize.

The public hears “pandemic preparedness” and imagines top scientists working tirelessly to prevent the next disaster.

But it’s not that simple.

The deeper problem is that this research often involves collecting dangerous pathogens, modifying them, storing them, passing them through animals, testing their behavior, and hoping the lab never makes a mistake.

And there are a lot of mistakes that can be made.

Erica Drum was told her son Jackson would never breathe on his own again.

A hockey hit launched him headfirst into the boards. Broken neck & spine. Paralyzed.

Odds of recovery: 1 in 1,000,000

Jackson is now walking and has recovered every fine motor skill he lost.

What happened?

His loving mother took a chance on a substance called DMSO. And what followed was nothing short of a miracle.

ERICA DRUM: “[Doctors] said there was no hope of recovery… He is vent-dependent, feeding tube-dependent. We were told he is never going to eat or drink or be able to breathe independently.”

“I had a friend, and she’s like, ‘Hey, I know of this thing [DMSO] that’s supposed to help spinal cord injuries, and it helps reduce the swelling.’ And I’m like, ‘Okay, well maybe we can try that.’ Because at this point, we didn’t have any options.”

“We decided to try [DMSO] topically. We bought like a little rollerball one… We started that on day four or five, and by day seven, I would poke his feet or his legs, and he would open his eyes [despite being on intense painkillers].”

“And then there was a PT working with him, and she felt his hip flexor fire. And they’re like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ He went from an Asia A to an Asia C, which usually is not supposed to happen.”

“You’re either a severe spinal cord injury with no sensation, nothing, like an Asia A. You don’t go from an A to a C. From there, he was Asia C. And I’m still rubbing this stuff on him every chance I get.”

“I mean, I would rub that thing on him probably ten times a day. What’s interesting is I was able to rub it on the left side of his body more than his right side. His left side is definitely stronger.”

“The right side is slowly coming back. His hand grip on this side was like 1 pound probably four months ago. And now it’s up to 20 pounds. He literally has every single fine motor skill. It’s a matter of us now strengthening them.”

“He hasn’t used his wheelchair in three weeks… We moved to the arm crutches. And now in therapy, he’s working on walking without the arm crutches.”

“We were like ventilator-dependent, medication-dependent… And now we’re down to just the baclofen.”

“My son is one of the only people I’ve met that does not have the nerve pain with his condition. So he is off of all nerve pain meds.”

Jackson’s doctors can’t explain how he went from a quadriplegic to a walking, self-sufficient person again.

But his mother attests it was the DMSO.

The thing is, Jackson isn’t the only person with a story like this. 🧵

Jackson’s story is an incredible example of exactly why DMSO is so hard to dismiss.

A nerve injury recovery that looks impossible on the surface starts to make more sense when you look at what DMSO appears to do inside damaged tissue.

It doesn’t behave like a normal painkiller.

It acts more like a cellular reset.

And once you see what it can do… you can’t unsee it.
