You know your country's political situation has gone fully absurd when even seasoned news anchors are trolling the former President during a live newscast

At first, MSNBC's Brian Williams' report on former Republican President Donald Trump's meeting with one of his most dedicated sycophants, Republican Congressman Kevin McCarthy of California, started off as usual. Until it came time for the "exclusive" footage from the meeting, that is.

Instead of the footage, Williams cut to a classic scene of Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger expressing their undying love to each other in Jerry Maguire.

The internet is absolutely loving the epic troll.

The Jerry Maguire clip Williams used to troll the two politicians features Cruise and Zellweger reconciling after a falling out and pledging their love to each other with the iconic lines, "You complete me" and "You had me at hello."

The segment came on the heels of Congressman McCarthy traveling to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump to discuss strategy for the 2022 midterm elections next year.

McCarthy, one of Trump's most ardent supporters, recently changed his tune on the former President in the wake of the January 6 violence at the U.S. Capitol, which many people including several Republican politicians, believe Trump incited. McCarthy even made public statements in the wake of the riot to that effect.

But now, given his pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago to, as Williams described it, "kiss the ring... [of] the deposed former president," it would seem all is forgiven. Hence Williams's portraying McCarthy as a groveling Tom Cruise.

Of course, Williams gamely committed to the bit by playing it off as a simple mistake.

Even one of Williams' guests, writer and commentator Baratunde Thurston, couldn't hold in his laughter, telling Williams:

"...I'm mad at you right now for making me break so much."

On Twitter people could not get enough of this troll of the former POTUS.











All hail Brian Williams, 2021's first troll king.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."
