Donald Trump posts hilarious AI video ridiculing several woke celebrities with ‘TDS’

Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with TDS? The symptoms can be relentless. Fortunately, I'm Dr. Trump and I have a treatment plan. Let's hear what some of my patients have to say. I have been suffering for over a decade and after listening to Dr. Trump, I can see some results. Man, I've been suffering for years. I really didn't believe that was help out there. That was when I came across this video on TV. I really thought I was a lost cause. This was going to affect me for the rest of my life, but after using the treatment plan, I can see a difference. I really wasn't sure I could help some of these people. They were so far gone, I wasn't really sure. I had no idea how much this was affecting my life. My work is slowed down. I'm hardly recognizable anymore. I just needed help. I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. Constantly angry. I made everyone miserable around me. It's said to be one of the biggest holiday weekends America has seen in years, but it's not just the excitement for July 4th and America 250 that's rising, so is the temperature. Let's go live to Washington correspondent Jonathan Kersley, who's where it's all happening in the hours and days ahead. Jono, there's a warning of a good old-fashioned scorcher where you are. Alex, we might need a pool deck on this top deck up here on Capitol Hill because it is absolutely roasting over the course of the next few days. A heat dome hitting the eastern side of the United States, having hit the Midwest earlier this week. Right now, Washington DC sitting at 100 Fahrenheit, which for those playing the Fahrenheit to Celsius game, obviously plenty in Australia, that's around about 38 degrees or so, where they feel like in and around the 40 degree temperatures. It's even hotter in some other parts of the eastern seaboard of the United States, with humidity a big factor as well. It is going to be a huge couple of days of both travel and events across the entire of the United States. A major Tall Ships event taking place in less than 48 hours' time off the coast of New York, and then it will be here in Washington DC, Saturday night local time. It'll be Sunday morning Australian time for a fireworks spectacular that at this stage, it is all systems go. It may well be the later time of that fireworks display that we're told is going to run for 45 minutes and will also follow a speech from the President of the United States of America. Donald Trump is going to last around about 45 minutes or so. Interestingly, Alex, there is a concert due to take place on the lawns pretty much right behind me here on Capitol Hill tomorrow night. The public access to those rehearsals tonight have been called off because it is simply just too hot. Authorities have been warning about the dangers of heat stress. Mem Andani in New York has come under criticism for suggesting that New Yorkers keep their air conditioners at an absolute maximus and don't go any lower than 78 Fahrenheit, which is round about 26, 27 degrees Celsius. That is because there is concern over New York's power grid. And if everybody tries to crank up the air conditioning, well, there's concern that the power grid on what could be a weekend that also sees Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey tie the knot at the old Madison Square Garden. Well, it's going to be one almighty warm weekend, Alex. We are set for a scorcher, but it is going to be a huge weekend of festivities as America celebrates 250 years of independence. We'll get you into the Sky News polo shirt yet. John Ocasio reporting from Washington. Thank you. Let's turn to the events of this week, July 4, the celebrations. And it is a big moment for the United States. Two hundred and fifty years, the birthday. But it is a nation right now that is it's bitterly divided, certainly along political lines, that's for sure. It very much is. And I think if you look at the polling, you can see that Americans are not really happy with the state of affairs right now, though it should be noted that this isn't the first time Americans have been unhappy with the trajectory of the country. I think for some decades now, especially after the global financial crisis in particular, and even before that, perhaps a year or two into the Iraq war, Americans have been considerably negative about where the U.S. was going. With that said, I think if you look at the historical trends in the U.S., you've seen that the U.S. has come back from far worse. And this is a period in which there's a lot of distrust with the conventional approach to politics and even distrust with the populist approach to politics in some corners. And so I think you have an issue where Americans want all of them thrown out and we have to see in the U.S. how it decides to take a more proactive and pragmatic step forward instead of simply criticizing what's come before. Yeah. And just in terms of some of that research, like the the respected Pew Research Center that looked at the view from Americans, you know, it's done these surveys for many, many years. From the middle class perspective, Jared, this is a really interesting question, because if the middle class feels threatened and if it's diminished, it actually goes to the future of the country itself as well. And I heard one American historian quoted this week saying that no republic has survived without a middle class. So it's important that the political figures and policymakers remember that. I couldn't agree more. I think if you there's a lot of problematic data if you look at the polling. But I think one of the most problematic data points is the fact that Americans are record levels in terms of concern about whether their their their children, the future generations will be as successful as them. This basically goes against the very idea of the American dream and that if you work hard, your children will have a better future than you did. So I think we're getting to the point now where we really have to in the US ask ourselves some hard questions about how to make that palatable, how to make that sustainable, I should say, in terms of the pathway forward. And I think you could say that AI and the increasing wealth disparity is a rare opportunity for the US, but also other countries around the world facing populist unrest in one way or the other to sort of reevaluate their their approaches. Indeed, it's a transformational. And Jared Monshine, the this year, the midterms are coming, and the president announcing a midterm convention. It makes sense because he's the most powerful political figure. They're trying to put him at the center of that campaign. That's exactly right. I think with the issue to pay attention to is how Donald Trump sees his power. He does not see, from what I can see, his power as that over all of the American people. He sees it over his Republican base. And that is what is most important to him. So although we've never really seen a midterm convention like this before, that has not stopped Donald Trump from seeking out this opportunity to really energize that base and get some more enthusiasm for voters ahead of the midterm elections. The key thing to know in the U.S. is that it does not have compulsory voting. So the fact that a lot of polling shows Republicans not enthusiastic about going to the voting booth is something that the Trump administration and Republicans across Congress really want to tackle with this convention. Director of Research at the U.S. Studies Center, Jared Monshine. Great to chat, as always. Thanks, Jared.
