If President Donald Trump takes a strong position on anything, one can be almost certain there's a tweet from before his Presidency—or even during—that takes the diametric opposition.

This has proven true with impeachment, negotiations with terrorists, campaign rallies, job creation, and others.

The most recent resurfaced tweet that's contradicted Trump's latest position is about the Ebola outbreak of 2014.


To distract from his own administration's delayed response to the current pandemic, Trump frequently lodges largely false attacks on former President Barack Obama's handling of H1N1 and Ebola outbreaks that occurred during his administration.

Eager to see the economy reopen and a talking point for his reelection revived, Trump has hailed governors like Republican Brian Kemp of Georgia who are reopening shuttered stores and businesses, despite health experts warning this could cause a resurgence in the virus.

Trump boasted on Wednesday morning that the country is starting to "OPEN FOR BUSINESS".

Trump claimed that the stay at home orders and other safety measures from the nation's governors were too extreme.

He was singing a much different tune in 2014.

Despite the assertions of conspiracy theorists, health experts nearly unanimously say that a premature return to normalcy wouldn't revive the economy, but cause potentially millions more avoidable deaths.

Trump's tweet didn't age well.



Once again, people were amazed that there really is always a tweet.


So uncanny is Trump's ability to contradict himself with years-old tweets that people began coming up with outlandish theories as to how this is possible.



Or maybe his principles really are that flimsy.

It was this latter role that sparked her to speak out about recent atrocities enacted by the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Stephen Colbert Reveals Date Of His Final 'Late Show' Episode In Poignant Interview: 'It Feels Real Now'

Yesterday, Seth Meyers welcomed his Strike Force Five podcast buddy Stephen Colbert to Late Night, marking a rare and unexpectedly emotional reunion between the two late-night hosts.

Colbert hadn’t appeared on Meyers’ NBC show in more than 10 years, making the sit-down feel less like press and more like a warm check-in between old friends—just with cameras rolling and the FCC watching… allegedly, of course.

MAGA actor Dean Cain, best known for his starring role as the titular superhero in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, was slammed after speaking to TMZ to defend ICE after agents shot and killed ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis over the weekend.

Calls for an investigation have intensified from across the political spectrum after analysis of multiple videos showed ICE officers removing a handgun from Pretti—a weapon that authorities said Pretti was permitted to carry but was not handling at the time—before fatally shooting him.

Gay Olympian Gus Kenworthy Reveals His Surprising Celebrity Parallel To 'Heated Rivalry'

The characters of Heated Rivalry have inspired thirst-trap TikToks, memes, and award-show commentary—and now, an Olympian. Or, as Gus Kenworthy recently suggested, maybe the inspiration ran the other way.

In an interview with The New Yorker published Sunday, the British-American freestyle skier acknowledged the striking “parallels” he sees between the hit series and his own private life, particularly in the years before he publicly addressed his sexuality.
