Few were surprised this weekend when President Donald Trump posted a stream of erratic tweets attacking everyone from former President Barack Obama to CBS News's Norah O'Donnell.

Among the tweets was a video of Trump's face superimposed onto that of actor Bill Pullman who played the President of the United States in the acclaimed 1996 action film Independence Day.

Pullman's character, President Thomas J. Whitmore, gives a rousing speech near the climax of the film in which he describes fighting for the right "to live, to exist."

The video tweeted by Trump shows other Republican figureheads like Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Vice President Mike Pence listening in adoration, presumably to make Trump seem inspiring.

Watch below.

The bizarre tweet racked up views and reactions, even from Pullman himself, who said:

"My voice belongs to no one but me, and I'm not running for president — this year."

He wasn't the only one to respond.

Legendary actor Vivica A. Fox called out Trump's lack of courage readily displayed by the President in Independence Day.

Others felt the same.




Trump did Bill Pullman dirty with this video.



Remember when things weren't awful?

MAGA Rep. Hit With Instant Backlash After Tweeting Truly Vile Post About Muslims And Dogs

Fine said he was reacting to an online post from Palestinian American activist Nerdeen Kiswani, who wrote that dogs belonged in society but not inside homes, calling them unclean. Kiswani later told NBC News the remark was satirical and part of a local New York debate about dog waste following a recent snowstorm.

Hillary Clinton Epically Calls Out 'Disgraceful' Trump For Working With Putin Against Ukraine: 'He Has Betrayed The West'

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized President Donald Trump and his administration during an exchange at the Munich Security Conference over the weekend, saying Trump has "betrayed the West" with his "disgraceful" handling of Ukraine.

In particular, Clinton called out Trump's often deferential attitude toward Russian President Vladimir Putin, who invaded Ukraine in a "special military operation" in 2022. Clinton said that not only are Putin and Trump "profiting" off Ukrainian "misery," Trump is also looking to Putin as a "model" of what a leader can be, effectively betraying Western values.

Fans Upset After 'America's Next Top Model' Favorite J. Alexander Reveals Tyra Banks Didn't Visit Him After His Stroke In 2022

Tyra Banks wanted to share her side of the story and do some big reveals in the Netflix docuseries Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model, but if she was hoping the docuseries would improve her image to the public, she was sadly mistaken.

Past model contestants have already gone public about their time on the show, but now, people from behind the scenes, like one of the show's photographers and judges, Nigel Barker, the creative director, Jay Manuel, and judge and runway coach Miss J. Alexander, have all come forward with their experiences, and the history might be darker than we ever expected.
