Obama Weighs in on Vivek Ramaswamy and Savages Donald Trump & Melania's Faux Diplomacy · Breaking Absurdity — Today's Top Headlines That Can't Be Unheard. Brought to you by @ItsNotSatire.

  Former president's ridicule Trump. He's got the
• 0:02
  White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened
• 0:04
  a cheesecake factory. Turning the Rose Garden
• 0:07
  into what looks like the entrance to Liberagi's
• 0:11
  bathroom. Just wait until you hear Trump's reaction.
• 0:16
  In today's breaking absurdity, the internet discovers
• 0:19
  Trump's uncanny resemblance to an unexpected
• 0:21
  political figure. The internet has imagined the
• 0:24
  ultimate campaign dance for an impending blue
• 0:26
  wave. And Melania Trump is facing criticism for
• 0:29
  taking credit for the Pope's ceasefire diplomacy
• 0:32
  efforts. And one AI creator explains the curious
• 0:35
  behavior of Trump's most devoted followers. A
• 0:38
  pale haired male moves with unshaken confidence.
• 0:42
  Leading off today, Barack Obama appeared in an
• 0:44
  Ohio rally to support Democrats in the upturning
• 0:47
  midterm election. And he weighed into the controversy
• 0:50
  between Vivek Ramaswami and Amy Acton. There's
• 0:53
  a decency that we should expect. out of our public
• 0:58
  officials. I don't know what's happened where
• 1:04
  the standards of behavior have gotten so low
• 1:07
  that somebody can run an ad like that. Obama
• 1:10
  is talking about the vague Ramoswami's campaign
• 1:13
  ad featuring the estranged mother of his Democratic
• 1:15
  opponent, Amy Acton, who is a survivor of sexual
• 1:19
  abuse. There's got to be something inside you
• 1:21
  where you just say no office is worth stooping
• 1:26
  that low because you know what character matters.
• 1:32
  Then Obama turns to Trump and pokes some fun
• 1:34
  at his home decoration. And then Bill Clinton
• 2:14
  appeared and didn't mince words either. I think
• 2:17
  Congress made a mistake not protesting turning
• 2:23
  the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance
• 2:27
  to Liberace's bathroom. Then Trump was asked
• 2:31
  about his reaction to being the punchline of
• 2:34
  Obama and Clinton jokes That's an interesting
• 2:48
  assessment coming from a man with enough fraud
• 2:51
  allegations to make Al Capone look like a choir
• 2:53
  boy And the internet seeing people like Barack
• 2:57
  Obama and Bill Clinton come out swinging against
• 2:59
  their Republican counterparts has renewed a new
• 3:02
  spirit in Democrats so much so that people are
• 3:05
  envisaging Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and
• 3:07
  Michelle Obama doing a viral hip hop dance. If
• 3:10
  the Democrats can coordinate about as well as
• 3:12
  this choreography, I think they might have a
• 3:14
  shot in winning the midterms. And piling on top
• 3:18
  of all the jokes against Republicans, somebody
• 3:20
  realized that Donald Trump bears an uncanny resemblance
• 3:23
  to Amy Acton's mother and posted this meme. If
• 3:26
  this is true, maybe that's why MAGA is so sympathetic
• 3:29
  to Amy Acton's mother. I mean, she's the spinning
• 3:32
  image of their MAGA lord and savior. This kind
• 3:35
  of reminds me of that time the internet realized
• 3:37
  Trump looks just like an older woman found in
• 3:40
  Spain, prompting people to no longer question
• 3:42
  the existence of the multiverse. And at the same
• 3:45
  moment, Melania Trump was asked about the Pope's
• 3:47
  role in brokering diplomatic ceasefire deals
• 3:50
  in Ukraine that she was quick to take sole credit
• 3:53
  for. That's right. After Melania Trump had said
• 3:56
  that she brokered the ceasefire deal, the Vatican
• 3:59
  told Reuters that Pope Leo had called Putin and
• 4:02
  asked him to arrange a ceasefire to let aid and
• 4:04
  food into the town. And what's Melania's reaction
• 4:07
  to the claim? When you talk about your work in
• 4:09
  the Ukraine and what happened with the ceasefire,
• 4:11
  did you speak to the Pope? Can you clarify? It
• 4:13
  is great to have Pope's support, and they're
• 4:19
  starting a ceasefire on October 27, and I hope
• 4:23
  everything goes as it's planned. So Melania is
• 4:27
  quick to reposition this as the Pope getting
• 4:29
  involved in her initiative, not her getting involved
• 4:32
  in the Pope's initiative. And her husband even
• 4:34
  said that Melania is better at diplomacy than
• 4:37
  his own hired professionals. She does better
• 4:39
  than our professionals. Mr. President, would
• 4:41
  you like the First Lady to get more involved?
• 4:44
  Although, looking back at recent history, Melania
• 4:46
  Trump does have a tendency to take credit for
• 4:48
  other people's work. You know, like that time
• 4:50
  she plagiarized Michelle Obama's campaign speech.
• 4:54
  Or that time she lied about having an architecture
• 4:56
  degree. Or this one seemingly innocent remark
• 4:59
  she made last week when she and her husband were
• 5:01
  signing an executive order. Listen carefully.
• 5:07
  Donald Trump commented that her signature looked
• 5:09
  just like his and Melania said, copy everything.
• 5:12
  Apparently everything is taken quite literally
• 5:14
  from architecture degrees to the Pope's diplomacy
• 5:17
  efforts. And at that same moment earlier, Trump
• 5:20
  finally came out and discussed why he's talking
• 5:22
  about John Husted's body. Trump says he was talking
• 5:40
  about his body because nobody knew he was a great
• 5:42
  football player. So this begs the question, why
• 5:45
  not just talk about how great a football player
• 5:47
  he is and not about his body? And speaking of
• 5:50
  Trump's body, everyone's noticing that Trump
• 5:52
  has this massive bruise on his face right now.
• 5:56
  And when you combine that with his increasingly
• 5:57
  strange remarks about men's bodies, and also
• 6:00
  the strange utterances coming out of his mouth,
• 6:04
  a lot of people are asking MAGA how they can
• 6:06
  continue to support Trump despite his obvious
• 6:08
  decline. Well, one AI creator has a pretty specific
• 6:12
  theory, and I thought I'd leave it for you right
• 6:13
  here. drumming on a trunk, until the whole troop
• 6:22
  gathers close. He has held the center of the
• 6:26
  group for years. Rivals have risen and fallen,
• 6:30
  yet his followers remain remarkably devoted.
• 6:35
  When he calls and he advances, they follow. Even
• 6:41
  when he leads them toward danger, they appear
• 6:43
  grateful for the journey. Should he stumble,
• 6:49
  they gather to steady him. Should he lead them
• 6:57
  to an empty feeding ground, they celebrate as
• 7:00
  though a feast has been discovered. To question
• 7:03
  his judgment is unthinkable. For this peculiar
• 7:06
  troop, loyalty is not earned through success.
• 7:10
  Success is determined entirely by loyalty. But
• 7:15
  deep within the forest, beyond the territory
• 7:17
  he so confidently commands, another hierarchy
• 7:21
  exists. Here, a smaller, more secretive troop
• 7:25
  exercises an extraordinary influence over the
• 7:28
  pale -haired male. And when they summon him,
• 7:32
  something remarkable happens. The creature who
• 7:35
  demands unquestioning obedience from his own
• 7:38
  followers suddenly becomes obedient himself.
• 7:42
  His proud posture collapses. His calls grow faint.
• 7:47
  The once dominant male lowers his head and approaches
• 7:50
  his superiors with the unmistakable submission
• 7:53
  of a subordinate. And so, the forest reveals
• 7:57
  its curious secret. The loudest creature in the
• 8:01
  troop is not necessarily the one in charge. Sometimes,
• 8:06
  he is merely the one permitted to make the most
• 8:08
  noise.
