Trump Slammed For Posting Overtly Racist AI Video Attacking Democratic Leaders After Meeting
Sep 30, 2025
President Donald Trump's racism was on full display after meeting with Democrats Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer in a failed attempt to prevent the looming government shutdown—the president shared an AI-generated video featuring Jeffries in a sombrero and Schumer calling Democrats "woke pieces of sh*t."
The video, presented to the tune of the “Mexican Hat Dance,” was Trump's response to failed negotiations regarding Democrats' rejection of the Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open without considering an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.
Jeffries and Schumer, the respective Minority Leaders of the House and Senate, say that without that extension, millions could lose their coverage, and premiums across the Affordable Care Act marketplace would rise sharply.
Trump has promised to punish Democrats for not dropping their demands. The funding deadline is 11:59 p.m. ET tonight; unless a compromise a reached, a full shutdown of the federal government threatens to impact hundreds of thousands of workers across scores of government offices and functions.
In the video, Schumer, standing next to Jeffries wearing the sombrero, is shown saying:
"There's no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of all of our woke trans bullsh*t. Not even Black people want to vote for us anymore; even Latinos hate us."
"So we need new voters, and if we give all of these illegal aliens free healthcare we might be able to get them on our side so they can vote for us. They can't even speak English so they won't realize we're just a bunch of woke pieces of sh*t, you know?"
"At least for a while until they learn English and realize they hate us too."
You can see the video below.
Jeffries responded to the video by posting one of the many photos that exist of Trump with the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein—referencing Trump's continued attempts to distract from the national furor over the administration's refusal to release the Epstein files—and wrote:
"This is real."
You can see his post below.
Jeffries also told MSNBC:
“It’s a disgusting video. And we’re gonna continue to make clear: Bigotry will get you nowhere. We are fighting to protect the healthcare of the American people in the face of an unprecedented Republican assault.”
Meanwhile, Schumer, in his own post on X, wrote:
"If you think your shutdown is a joke, it just proves what we all know: You can’t negotiate. You can only throw tantrums."
You can see his post below.
Critics have condemned the video, citing its cruel and racist nature as workers across the federal government face potential layoffs.
Trump responded, "Well, we may do a lot," when a reporter asked how many federal workers he plans to lay off if the government shuts down.
And there is ultimately a method to Trump's madness—or shall we say the madness of White House budget chief Russell Vought, who recently issued a memo outlining how the Trump administration plans to use a government shutdown to implement long-term cuts in federal spending and staffing.
The memo makes clear that positions and programs labeled “nonessential” during the closure would be permanently eliminated, expanding on the advisory Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) reductions introduced earlier this year.

Golf Star Rory McIlroy Slams 'Abusive' American Fans After Ryder Cup Matches In New York
Sep 30, 2025
The Bethpage Black Golf Course in Old Bethpage, New York, hosted the Ryder Cup over the weekend. MAGA Republican President Donald Trump was in attendance with his granddaughter Kai.
Twelve top players from the States faced off against twelve top players from Europe.
The Ryder Cup is a three-day men's team match-play format golf tournament between the United States and Europe. Held every two years, hosting duties rotate between Europe and the United States.
Europe clinched the victory on Sunday before the mostly American crowd. At conclusion of play, Northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy took issue with the crowd's behavior during the tournament.
Over five matches at Bethpage, McIlroy was heckled by screaming American fans who hurled insults about his golfing, his personal life, his height, his heritage, and his wife, Erica Stoll.
McIlroy—characterizing the Bethpage crowd as abusive—stated:
"What happened here this week is not acceptable."
"I don’t think we should ever accept that in golf. I think golf should be held to a higher standard than what was seen out there this week."
The Holywood, County Down, Northern Ireland native continued:
"Golf has the ability to unite people. Golf teaches you very good life lessons. It teaches you etiquette. It teaches you how to play by the rules. It teaches you how to respect people."
"Sometimes this week we didn’t see that. So no, this should not be what is acceptable in the Ryder Cup."
You can see his comments here:
The crowd also directly attacked McIlroy’s wife Erica Stoll, whose abuse at the hands of American fans was called out by Glamour magazine in their article titled "The Misogynistic Abuse Towards Rory McIlroy’s Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf."
Glamour's Stephanie McNeal wrote:
"It shows a cultural shift, one in which men feel emboldened to attack women in public without shame or consequence."
"At the Ryder Cup over the weekend, Stoll was subjected to the following: had a beer thrown at her head, was taunted with barbs about her brief 2024 split from her husband, and had to listen to fans chant the name of a woman who, some fans online claim without proof, had a relationship with McIlroy at some point around their breakup."
Team Europe player and championship clincher Shane Lowry of Ireland observed:
"I was out there for two days with Erica McIlroy, and the amount of abuse that she received was astonishing. The way she was out there supporting her husband and supporting her team was unbelievable, and kudos to her for that."
The Guardian UK headlined part of their Ryder Cup coverage: "US fan ugliness at the Ryder Cup was merely a reflection of Trump’s all-caps America."
The Guardian's Bryan Armen Graham, who was in attendance at Bethpage, wrote:
"There’s a difference between atmosphere and interference, and Bethpage spent too much of the weekend blurring the two. Boos during practice swings and the sing-song 'YEW-ESS-AY! YEW-ESS-AY!' after a European miss were tiresome, but survivable."
"What crept in on Saturday was different: insults aimed at players’ wives, homophobic slurs, cheap shots at McIlroy’s nationality dripping with tiresome stereotypes, gleeful reminders of Pinehurst the moment McIlroy crouched over anything inside five feet."
McIlroy wasn't alone in finding the Bethpage crowd's antics unacceptable, but predictable.
Welcome to the new America.

It’s not necessarily a new America, it’s just the fact that they have been emboldened by the bully and chief trump. The president behaves this way they figure they can too.
— Johny Canuck (@johnycanuck.bsky.social) September 28, 2025 at 11:02 PM
Yep, that’s what I mean. There was a semblance of manners and respect and no decorum in the ‘old’ America. No longer.
— Sparky (@lachspark.bsky.social) September 29, 2025 at 1:24 AM
Such an embarrassment. I was waiting for the rental panel van to tear onto the fairway and ICE to round up the Europeans on national television.
— Scott (@scottyklink.bsky.social) September 29, 2025 at 8:18 AM
It's a gentleman's/gentlewoman's game - not supposed to be hurling obscenities at the players.

Is the Ryder Cup loss an allegory for Trump’s USA? Behave rudely, badly, indulge in ad hominem attacks, ignore long-established rules, and you will lose.

Welcome to the Fascist States of America

And the ugly Americans strike again!
— Kristin (@klberts.bsky.social) September 29, 2025 at 1:28 AM
He’s absolutely right, they were an embarrassment to the USA!
— Patty S. (@bluemrs.bsky.social) September 28, 2025 at 10:33 PM
Those fans were horrible. Golf is a game of respect and decorum.

But turnabout won't be fair play when Europe hosts the next Ryder Cup, as McIlroy stated:
"We will be making sure to say to our fans in Ireland in 2027 that what happened here this week is not acceptable. And for me, it’s, you know, come and support your home team."
"I think if I was an American, I would be annoyed that people—I didn’t hear a lot of shouts for [Team USA's] Scottie [Scheffler] today, but I heard a lot of shouts against me."
"It’s like, support your players. That’s the thing."
Europe has won 11 of the last 14 Ryder Cups.
Begun in 1927 by Samuel Ryder as a contest between the UK and U.S., the field was expanded to all of Europe in 1979 over concerns the competition was unbalanced by the larger talent pool in a far larger nation.
The European Ryder Cup team for 2025 consisted of golfers from Austria, Denmark, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Norway, Scotland, Spain, and Sweden.
This was the European team's fifth time winning on a course in the United States in their last 10 tries.

Sean Penn Sparks Heated Debate After Explaining Why He Thinks We 'Need' People Like Charlie Kirk In Politics
Sep 30, 2025
Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn stirred controversy after he told the New York Times that we "need" people like the late far-right activist Charlie Kirk in politics despite disagreeing with "almost everything" Kirk believed in.
Kirk was assassinated earlier this month while speaking at a university in Utah; the suspect was caught after a two-day manhunt and has since been charged.
The Trump administration has used Kirk's death as an opportunity to crack down on free speech rights—moves coming into sharper focus since late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was temporarily taken off the air—and targeting and blaming leftists for Kirk's murder even though the shooter is aligned with the far-right.
Penn, who currently stars in filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another, had this to say about Kirk's views and the higher rates of political violence nationwide:
"We need that debate. We've gotta fight it out and find a compromise."
"This one seems different. It seems different than the members of Congress. It seems different than the insurance executive. It seems even different than the attempt on the president. There's something about this one."
"These things do come into fashion, and the way we kill the fashion of it is people of conscience on both sides recognizing that if somebody really believes something, that's your friend."
Penn argued that Americans should acknowledge that even viewpoints we may strongly disagree with can still be “valid opinions,” while stressing that he was not referring to “some sociopathic Nazism":
"I'm talking about if somebody believes that a human being starts at conception, if you can't understand that concept, you're just stupid. And if you're not willing to tolerate the concept as a concept that's held as deeply as I may have a belief that, I don't know, let the woman decide. All of these are valid opinions."
Kirk was, among many other things, a virulent white supremacist.
Kirk once said that the U.S. "made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s," contending that the legislation, which outlawed job discrimination and racial segregation in public places, schools and federally assisted programs, “created a beast” by prioritizing equality of outcomes over equality of opportunity, actions he claimed contributed to higher crime rates.
He also regularly attacked the LGBTQ+ community—he was again linking transgender people to mass shootings at the time he was killed—and previously claimed that widespread gun-related deaths are okay in the interest of preserving the Second Amendment.
And who could forget that just a couple of weeks before his death, Kirk, a well-known sexist and misogynist, urged singer Taylor Swift to "submit" to her soon-to-be-husband and "reject" feminism?
Of course, that doesn't begin to scratch the surface.
Reactions to Penn's comments were highly mixed—some appreciated Penn's remarks and others pointed out that Kirk's views were anything but civil.
Perhaps Penn might feel differently if his own human rights were up for debate.

Ariana Grande Slams Trump With Blistering Question For Everyone Who Voted For Him
Sep 30, 2025
Wicked star Ariana Grande criticized President Donald Trump by posing a blunt question on Instagram for his supporters now that Trump has been in office for 250 days and counting.
Grande has been a consistently vocal advocate for social justice for many years and she circulated a post from podcaster Matt Bernstein calling out Trump supporters now that, among other things, Trump's immigration crackdown is in full swing and the government is threatening free speech rights.
It reads:
“i want to check in with trump voters. i have one very genuine question. it’s been 250 days."
"now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all ― has your life gotten better?"
"have your groceries gotten cheaper? has your health insurance premium gone down? has your work/life balance improved? can you take a vacation yet? are you happier?"
"has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?”
You can see her post below.
@arianagrande/Instagram
Grande's post prompted White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai to weave several of her song titles into a statement— including “Save Your Tears,” “Just Like Magic,” and “Get Well Soon":
“Save your tears, Ariana. Because President Trump’s actions ended Joe Biden’s inflation crisis and are bringing in trillions in new investment."
“He even signed an executive order just like magic that paved the way for the FTC to crack down on Ticketmaster for ripping off Ariana Grande’s concert-going fans. Get well soon, Ariana!”
That did nothing to address the very real concerns Grande brought up—and people were quick to call it out.
Trump won re-election by promising voters an economic renaissance. But months into his second term, many Americans feel let down. Early optimism about his handling of the economy and inflation has given way to strong disapproval amid investor fears and an increasingly chaotic global trade environment due to his tariffs.
Fresh YouGov polling shows Trump’s approval slipping even in places that backed him just months ago. His ratings remain strongest in Republican-leaning states and weakest in Democratic ones, and his core voters still largely stand by him. But the data reveal widespread disapproval.
Demographically, white and male voters are most approving, while younger Americans and ethnic minorities show the sharpest disapproval. College graduates and postgraduates are the least likely to back him, and even older voters—a group that typically leans Republican—are proving less enthusiastic than expected.

Trump Ripped After Gloating About How Golden Oval Office Makes World Leaders 'Freak Out'
Sep 30, 2025
President Donald Trump is known for his gaudy taste in decor and now he has people rolling their eyes after he claimed that all of the gold decorations in the Oval Office actually makes visitors "freak out" due to its "quality and beauty."
The Oval Office has been significantly revamped since Trump took office in January—it features, among other things, fireplace adorned with gold cherubs and medallions, surrounded by portraits of American statesmen in ornate gold frames and shelves filled with gilded figurines, urns, and freshly installed Rococo mirrors.
Trump posted a video on Truth Social showing gold decor that will soon be placed on the White House walls and commented:
“Some of the highest quality 24 Karat Gold used in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room of the White House."
"Foreign Leaders, and everyone else, ‘freak out’ when they see the quality and beauty. Best Oval Office ever, in terms of success and look!!!"
You can see his post and the video below.
@realDonaldTrump/Truth Social
Trump was swifly called out for his boast at a time when Americans are struggling with the rising cost of living, particularly the high grocery prices Trump was claimed he would take care of on his first day in office.
Trump first revealed the lavish makeover of his office in February, when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu became the first foreign leader to see it in person.
The two world leaders posed beneath a portrait of George Washington, framed by gold medallions, cherubs, and a gallery wall so tightly packed that the frames nearly touched.
During a Fox News tour with Laura Ingraham, Trump gestured toward the cherubs and said:
“It’s angels. They say angels bring good luck, and we need a lot of luck in this country with what they’ve done over the last four years.”
By May, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was seated in the Oval Office for a bilateral meeting. Trump referred to the Oval Office as “new and improved" Oval Office." He added that as the room "becomes more and more beautiful with love—you know, we handle it with great love—and 24-karat gold. That always helps, too.”
Trump is also overseeing a project to repave the White House Garden in the style of his Mar-a-Lago estate and has commissioned the construction of an enormous ballroom, so we can expect the People's House to look drastically different sooner rather than later.
