Glaring error spotted in Trump's presidential library hype video: ‘Is he stupid?’

On Tuesday, Eric Trump revealed a video mock-up of President Donald Trump’s planned presidential library, but by Wednesday, critics couldn’t help but point out what appeared to be a glaring error.

The nearly two-minute video, which appears to have been made, at least in part, using generative artificial intelligence, shows interior and exterior shots of a tall skyscraper in Miami, Florida, with a large U.S. flag displayed on its facade. What drew critics’ attention, however, appeared within the first 15 seconds of the video.

Ex-inmate reveals Ghislaine Maxwell's loathsome behavior when Epstein victims were on TV

Former Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah told People that while she was in prison for conspiracy to commit fraud, she observed Ghislaine Maxwell's lack of remorse for her sex trafficking victims.

Trump unveils plan to bulldoze Dems with strict deadline: 'Won't be able to stop us'

In a nearly 500-word rant, President Donald Trump unveiled a plan Wednesday to steamroll his agenda through Congress, issuing lawmakers a strict deadline and warning Democrats that his plan was essentially foolproof.

Trump’s proposal was that Republican lawmakers eliminate the Senate filibuster, a Senate rule that allows members to block a bill that receives less than 60 votes. By doing so, Congress could potentially pass a spending bill that fully funds the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which has remained unfunded since February due to disputes over funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Trump's coalition of support has 'collapsed' and 'open revolt' is underway: analysis

The coalition of famous faces and far-right figures who brought Donald Trump's second term together is now broadly opposed to the president, a political analyst has claimed.

Where Trump once had the support of various factions from within and beyond the MAGA base, it appears some figureheads of the movement have grown tired of his administration's recent moves. The war in Iran has been a constant sore for those who, just last year, had backed the president fully. Salon columnist Sophia Tesfaye observed the trouble for Trump, with the likes of Tucker Carlson and Ann Coulter turning on him.

Trump drops blatantly false outburst after storming out of Supreme Court hearing

Not long after having attended the Supreme Court hearing to hear oral arguments on the legality of ending birthright citizenship – becoming the first sitting president in history to do so – President Donald Trump took to social media Wednesday to lash out at the longstanding and constitutionally enshrined right, and with a claim that was blatantly false.

“We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, just as oral arguments in the Supreme Court hearing had ended.

Trump told by ex-GOP insider he 'played himself' by adopting 'among the dumbest ideas'

President Donald Trump's new executive order on mail-in ballots will likely backfire for Republicans in the midterms, former Republican strategist Rick Wilson warned on Wednesday.

In his Substack on Wednesday, the co-founder of The Lincoln Project outlined why telling his fractured MAGA base not to use mail-in voting — the system that won Republicans elections — could be "among the dumbest ideas" as a blue wave was anticipated to knock out Republican majorities in both the Senate and the House.

Trump's Iran ceasefire claim implodes as nation rejects it: 'False and baseless'

President Donald Trump took to social media Wednesday morning to claim that Iran had “just asked the United States for a ceasefire” – a claim that was swiftly dismissed hours later by Tehran as “false and baseless,” Reuters reported.

Initiated by the United States in late February, the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran has rattled global stability, sent tremors through the world market and sent oil prices soaring. Reportedly, the Trump administration has grown increasingly panicked over the war’s fallout, but has struggled to find a way out of the conflict.

Trump admin can spin Iran exit but will fail to convince key group: analysis

Donald Trump's administration may be ready to form an exit plan explanation for the Iran war, but it will fail to convince a key group, according to a political analyst.

Strikes on Iran last month affected crude oil prices, putting pressure on the United States' economy. Further explanations from the president's team left much to be desired, and, according to CNN analyst Stephen Collinson, the economic experts and markets are unlikely to be moved by an exit plan proposal.

'Bad for Trump': Conservative justice hits president's lawyer with 'cutting' court reply

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch seemed to doubt the arguments of Solicitor General John Sauer in his attempt to strike down birthright citizenship in the U.S.

During oral arguments on Wednesday, Sauer pointed to "domicile" as the lynch pin to undermining an idea that the 14th Amendment affords birthright citizenship to the children of most non-citizens who are born on U.S. soil.

Secretive US military moves 'tell a lot' about impending Trump address: analyst

At least a dozen U.S. attack aircraft were spotted arriving in England Monday evening, with more "expected" to have arrived Tuesday night, leading journalist and analyst Adam Cochran to suspect a U.S. ground invasion of Iran to be imminent, news of which he predicted may be shared Wednesday night during President Donald Trump’s mysterious address.

“[These aircraft] are used to protect boots on the ground,” Cochran wrote Wednesday in a social media post on X to his nearly 300,000 followers. “It can tell us A LOT about what the military thinks is ahead for Iran – and what Trump may announce tonight.”
