The internet was stunned Tuesday as President Donald Trump delivered a bizarre speech at a press conference marking the first anniversary of his second inauguration. Trump walked up to the podium at the White House press briefing room with a large stack of bound papers labeled "accomplishments" and started blaming former President Joe Biden, giving an unusual slideshow presentation show placards of alleged suspects wanted by ICE. After about 40 minutes into the rambling speech, CNN cut away, with anchor Brianna Keilar calling it "pretty winding even by Trumpian standards." She pointed to the unusual demeanor of the president, reacting to the unusual moment. People were shocked on social media and questioned the president's mental fitness. "Anyone watching Donald Trump’s press conference? He’s completely deranged. It’s like he’s drunk," user Bafa Renitez wrote on X."Watching and listening to this this press briefing and I can’t fathom how anyone still believes Trump is fit for office. The stone cold silence from the 'press' in the room is deafening as Trump aimlessly rambles with exception of some soft, nervous laughter at his weird jokes," user Surfer Dude wrote on X."Trump knows he’s in trouble politically, probably doesn’t realize how incoherent he sounds. Starts the press conference on defense trying to justify the violence and brutality we are seeing in MN, attacking Biden and revising the 2020 election lie," CNN political commentator Karen Finney wrote on X."Donald Trump has spent the first 15 minutes of his year in review press conference flipping through pictures and mumbling to himself. I really have never seen anything like it," journalist Aaron Parnas wrote on X."Donald Trump could not point out a 'normal person' if they punched him in nose! This press conference is bulls---!! More gaslighting, more lies, more rampant blatant dangerous xenophobia! Yes, go take the murderers out and deport them! Sadly, that is not what Trump’s thug ICE agents are doing! Btw 'the Hispanics' don’t love you or support you Donald Trump!!" Democratic strategist and CNN political commentator Maria Cardona wrote on X."This Trump press conference is a complete disaster. He’s rambling incoherently and flipping through a picture book of 'accomplishments' in front of the press. He’s clearly unwell. It’s getting really bad," Democratic influencer Harry Sisson wrote on X."This Trump press conference is excruciating. It’s like listening to an old drunk in a pub tell a tale. He knows he’s on tv right? He’s just talking absolute bollocks," user Gemma Bailey wrote on X."If Biden or Reagan had conducted a rambling, incoherent press conference like this, there would have been a rash of pieces about his cognitive decline and mental acuity. With Trump, it’s just another day at the office," author Nick Bryant wrote on X.

President Donald Trump's former chief of staff warned Tuesday that his aggressive push to seize Greenland could cost him support among Americans. Mick Mulvaney, who served during Trump's first term, suggested in an interview with NewsNation that the president's demand to acquire the Arctic island nation could hurt his messaging for voters around affordability and damage his relationship and reputation among allies — especially Europe, The Independent reported. Mulvaney suggested that he would caution the president over retaliating against the countries. “Mr. President, keep in mind, this is our largest creditor,” Mulvaney said. “Europe buys more of our debt than anybody else, and if they stop doing that, interest rates are going to go up. That is not really good for affordability.”He also questioned what the Trump administration would hope to accomplish — and how they'd plan a potential takeover.“My follow-up question is, ‘Ok, Scott, are we bombing Canada? I mean, what are we doing here? What are we trying to accomplish?’ If we’re trying to defend the nation, there are ways to do it without alienating our closest allies in the whole world,” Mulvaney said. He also added that he has respect for Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who said the U.S. would not plan to "outsource" its national security to other countries. “The cost here could be much, much larger than I think the administration is considering,” Mulvaney said. He estimated that the cost could directly impact rising consumer prices and be costly for the U.S. Greenland was valued at an estimated $700 billion, according to NBC News.Greenland and Denmark have declined Trump's offer to purchase and acquire Greenland. Trump this weekend said he planned to impose a 10 percent tariff on Denmark and other European countries that do not agree on his move to take the country.

John Roberts' Supreme Court is so afraid of President Donald Trump that it is actively avoiding standing up to him, an MS NOW host said Tuesday. MS NOW's "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough asked "where are the Republicans?" as he hammered the conservative majority Supreme Court for fearing Trump's backlash instead of facing him head-on. Scarborough argued it was time for the high court to "reaffirm the law of the land," as federal agents have detained American citizens and incited violence in Minnesota and Trump demands that Greenland be seized and potentially destroys NATO. Scarborough pointed to the Supreme Court's lack of action as the reason many of Trump's actions have unfolded."Telling generals and admirals, 'Hey, we can actually practice our military tactics on Americans in American cities,' [Trump] said that at that meeting where they called together all the generals and admirals," Scarborough said. "So again, so much of this is on the Supreme Court, sitting back, saying nothing, doing nothing, not ruling on tariffs, allowing Donald Trump when he gets upset with a foreign country because they won't just hand him land, the threatening of tariffs and everybody stands up for that foreign country, an ally, a close ally. "He then threatens other allies that are saying they will stand with the ally Donald Trump is threatening." Scarborough also said that Trump's threat to send troops to American cities is something the Supreme Court could have pushed back on. "It is so un-American. It is so unconstitutional and it is so right in front of the Roberts court and they sit back and they say nothing and they do nothing and so much of the chaos that you've been seeing over the past six months could have been so easily cleared up by the Roberts court if they had simply told the truth and acted quickly on tariffs, what they know to be the law on tariffs," Scarborough said. "If they had stepped forward and said what they knew the law was on using American troops for domestic policing. They know that's illegal. They know that's unconstitutional and yet, they continue to do nothing."He argued that it was up to the high court to protect Americans, however, the conservative court has shown no signs of resisting Trump. "A temporary order at the end of the year — not enough, not enough — they need to not even close the door on these actions, they need to reaffirm the law of the land and they're too scared to even do that," Scarborough added.
