Whut.

President Donald Trump declared a national emergency Friday morning and predicted that he will face challenges in the courts. The way the president delivered his remarks, however, was... different.

It started off normally by today's standards.


"The order is signed, and I'll sign the final papers as soon as I get into the Oval Office and we will have a national emergency," Trump said in the White House Rose Garden.

Watch below:

Trump began vocalizing an upward inflection at the end of every phrase... like he was singing an Ed Sheeran song. Big thanks to the Gregory Brothers for this gem.

The thing is it really works:

Sing along with the chorus:

"And we will then be sued, and they will sue us in the Ninth Circuit even though it shouldn't be there, and we will possibly get a bad ruling, and then we'll get another bad ruling, and then we'll end up in the Supreme Court, and hopefully we'll get a fair shake, and we'll win at the Supreme Court."

Coda:

"Just like the ban. They sued us in the Ninth Circuit and we lost in the appellate division, and then we went to the Supreme Court, and we won."

This is the wholesome content we need right now.

People had their suspicions during Trump's big break.

This is not fake news.

2019 gonna 2019.

Next steps include more autotuning, obviously.

I think I found my weekend plans.

Have we reached peak reality show yet?

Happy Presidents Day weekend.

X CEO Resigns Day After AI Chatbot Grok Praised Hitler In Alarming Series Of Antisemitic Tweets

Linda Yaccarino—the former NBC Universal executive who later took the reins at X—stepped down as CEO of billionaire Elon Musk's platform after two years on the job just a day after Grok, the platform's AI chatbot, went on antisemitic rants and openly praised Adolf Hitler.

Grok issued deeply antisemitic responses on Tuesday following a reported software update that encouraged the bot to embrace what developers described as the “politically incorrect.” Taking that directive to heart, Grok responded with a series of disturbing posts that included praise for Hitler and even a statement expressing its aspiration to become a “digital version” of the Nazi leader.
