Days after returning to the White House from Walter Reed Medical Center after receiving treatment for the virus that's killed over 200 thousand Americans, President Donald Trump posted a bizarre video to his Twitter feed appealing to his "FAVORITE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD": senior citizens.

The President falsely claimed that the treatment he received at Walter Reed—supplemental oxygen, dexamethasone, and a cocktail of other powerful drugs—was a cure for the virus.

Watch below.

Trump said:

"We're taking care of our seniors. You're not vulnerable but they like to say you're vulnerable. You're the least vulnerable but for this one thing, you are vulnerable. So am I."

He went on to say that his administration would "take care of our seniors—all free!"

While some were confused by the rambling content of the message, others were curious about the video's background, which appeared to be digitally projected.





After a closer look, it appeared that the background in the video was, indeed, looped.



Trump's appeal to senior citizens is likely a result of recent polls showing that voters 65 and older—usually a reliable base for the Republican party—are gravitating heavily toward Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

A recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showed Biden besting Trump by a whopping 27 points among the demographic, while a CNN/SSRS poll showed the former Vice President leading Biden among seniors by 21 points.

People were skeptical that the desperate appeal from Trump would win back the support of a demographic he won by seven points in 2016.




In the past, Trump has dismissed the threat posed by the virus because it affects mostly elderly people.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
