Hillary Clinton leads brigade of left-wing mockery, bewilderment over Trump’s viral ‘No Kings’ protest video

Hillary Clinton leads brigade of left-wing mockery, bewilderment over Trump’s viral ‘No Kings’ protest video

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was among Democrats and Trump administration critics who took to social media this weekend to slam a satirical AI video President Donald Trump posted showing him dropping brown sludge on “No Kings” protesters.  “He’s definitely not mad that 7 million Americans came out to protest him yesterday,” Clinton posted to X Sunday, accompanied by a screenshot of HuffPost’s report on Trump’s video mocking the protests against him.  Millions of protesters took to the streets of cities nationwide Saturday as part of a massive “No Kings” protest denouncing Trump and his administration. The protesters argued Trump has conducted himself like a monarch as opposed to a president, taking issue with his administration’s actions on policies such as immigration and efforts to deport millions of illegal immigrants residing in the nation. Trump lampooned the protests in an AI-generated video Saturday showing him flying a military jet while wearing a crown before dumping brown sludge or sewage directly onto protesters, including liberal influencer Harry Sisson. The video played “Top Gun” theme song “Danger Zone” as the AI-generated Trump was seen dumping the sludge onto protesters.  WATCH: ‘NO KINGS’ PROTESTERS AT MASSIVE NYC RALLY REVEAL MOTIVATION FOR TAKING TO THE STREETS: ‘DISGUSTING’ The video set off condemnation, mockery and confusion among liberal critics.  “That plane wouldn’t have made it off the ground with your fat–s in the pilot’s seat,” Sisson posted to X in response to the video. Followed by: “Can a reporter please ask Trump why he posted an AI video of himself dropping poop on me from a fighter jet? That would be great thanks.” Kenny Loggins, the singer behind the song “Danger Zone,” also posted a response demanding his music be removed from the video as it was not authorized.  JOHN CUSACK TELLS TRUMP TO ‘GO TO HELL’ AT CHICAGO ‘NO KINGS’ PROTEST “I can’t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us,” Loggins said, according to a statement shared on his X account. “Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We’re all Americans, and we’re all patriotic. There is no ‘us and them’ – that’s not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It’s all of us. We’re in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us.”  “BREAKING: DISGUSTING! Donald Trump posts AI video of himself flying a fighter jet and DUMPING POOP ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!” X account Occupy Democrats posted in a lengthy message Monday. “In the ultimate pronouncement that “subtlety is dead,” Donald Trump responded to the 7 million Americans who marched against him yesterday by posting an AI video of himself wearing a crown, flying a fighter jet and literally sh*tting on America.” “The person who posted this has access to the nuclear codes,” gun control activist David Hogg posted in response.  “‘I’m gonna take a big dookie on the protestors! I’m gonna be king!’ Sure you are lil buddy, you’re 12,” Center for New Liberalism co-founder Jeremiah Johnson posted to X.  “Trump posted an AI video of himself wearing a crown and dumping shit from a ‘King Trump’ jet on No Kings protesters. This is where we are as a country,” liberal X account Patriot Takes posted.  JIMMY KIMMEL LIKENS ANTI-TRUMP ‘NO KINGS’ PROTESTS TO AMERICAN REVOLUTION Trump brushed off the protests Sunday as not representative of the general population, while slamming any characterization he leads as a “king.” “I’m not a king. I work my a– off to make our country great. That’s all it is. I’m not a king at all,” he told members of the media Sunday. When asked about liberals’ responses to the video, the White House directed Fox Digital to a photo of a woman crying during Trump’s 2017 inauguration that is frequently used in memes.  Speaker of the House Mike Johnson also defended Trump’s video in comments to the media on Monday arguing the video was an effective satire.  “The president uses social media to make the point,” Johnson said when asked about the video during a press conference. “You can argue he’s probably the most effective person who’s ever used social media for that he is. He is using satire to make a point.” 

Trump’s impending San Francisco crackdown sparks backlash from Newsom, mayor

Trump’s impending San Francisco crackdown sparks backlash from Newsom, mayor

The White House is urging California Democrats to welcome the National Guard to “clean up” San Francisco, but Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., said the deployment will “ruin one of America’s greatest cities. “ President Donald Trump told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo that the National Guard is headed to San Francisco next. In a statement shared exclusively with Fox News Digital on Monday, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said San Francisco Democrats should “welcome the President in to clean up their city.” “America’s once great cities have descended into chaos and crime as a result of Democrat policies that put criminals first and law-abiding citizens last,” Jackson said Monday. “Making America Safe Again — especially crime-ridden cities — was a key campaign promise from the President that the American people elected him to fulfill.” Meanwhile, Mayor Daniel Lurie was also elected last November with a commitment to restoring public safety to San Francisco.  NEWSOM SUES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OVER CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD DEPLOYMENT ORDER TO OREGON “Since January, I have said that public safety is my number one priority,” Lurie said during a public safety briefing Friday. “Over the last nine months, we have backed that up, rebuilding the ranks of our public safety agencies, strengthening coordination across departments and strategically deploying technology. It’s working, and this week proved it.” DEM GOVERNORS SUDDENLY CRACK DOWN ON CRIME AS TRUMP’S NATIONAL GUARD THREATS LOOM But the White House urged California Democrats to recognize the progress made in Memphis, Tennessee, and in Washington, D.C., where fellow Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser has acknowledged the Trump administration’s success cleaning up the nation’s capital.  “We’re going to go to San Francisco,” Trump said on Sunday. “The difference is, I think they want us in San Francisco. San Francisco was truly one of the great cities of the world, and then 15 years ago, it went wrong. It went woke.” Newsom was quick to fire back in a social media post Sunday, writing, “Fact check: Nobody wants you here. You will ruin one of America’s greatest cities.” During the safety briefing Friday, Lurie noted that, last week, more than 45,000 people descended upon San Francisco for Salesforce’s “Dreamforce 2025” conference, featuring hundreds of events about advancing technology and artificial intelligence. “45,000 visitors, and no reports of any major incidents. Once again, the eyes of the world were on San Francisco, and we delivered,” Lurie said, while applauding first responders and city workers who make San Francisco “shine.” “It happened because of our close partnership with the California Highway Patrol,” Lurie said. “We are working with the appropriate state and federal enforcement agencies every day to keep our city safe, and that coordination is delivering results for San Francisco.” Newsom criticized Trump in August for “militarizing American cities” after the president deployed National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., to fight crime in the nation’s capital. Trump has since deployed troops to Chicago, Memphis and Portland.  The California governor, a frequent Trump critic who is considered a likely 2028 presidential candidate, deployed California Highway Patrol “crime-suppression teams” across the Golden State in August to prevent crime and promote public safety.  “While the Trump administration undermines cities, California is partnering with them and delivering real results. With these new deployments, we’re doubling down on these partnerships to build on progress and keep driving crime down,” Newsom said in a statement in August, seemingly to deter another National Guard deployment to California.  Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles this spring during protests rejecting deportations by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in line with another Trump mandate.  In an Instagram post following the “No Kings” protests on Saturday, which erupted across the country in rejection of Trump’s sweeping, second-term agenda, Lurie thanked San Francisco law enforcement and protesters for maintaining peace. When reached for comment, Newsom’s and Lurie’s team pointed to their previous statements from their social media posts and the Friday press conference.

South Korea police seek warrants for 58 repatriated scam centre suspects

South Korea police seek warrants for 58 repatriated scam centre suspects

The South Korean nationals were returned from Cambodia after being held for alleged links to “pig butchering” scams. Published On 20 Oct 202520 Oct 2025 Click here to share on social media share2 Share South Korean police are seeking to arrest dozens of suspects who have been deported from Cambodia over alleged links to so-called “pig butchering” scams. Seoul’s National Police Agency said on Monday it was seeking warrants for 58 of the 64 South Korean nationals who were repatriated from Cambodia over the weekend, after being held there over their suspected links to the scams. Recommended Stories list of 4 itemsend of list One of the repatriated individuals has already been arrested, while five others have been released, officials said. The repatriations, which saw the returned South Korean nationals escorted off their flight in handcuffs, have come amid a push by Seoul to tackle the issue of its nationals becoming involved in the scams. The South Korean government believes about 1,000 of its citizens are working in Cambodian scam centres, where workers are often lured through fake job offers, before being trafficked into work defrauding victims online. ‘Pig butchering’ The trafficked workers are held against their will at the compounds and forced to carry out online fraud against victims around the world, luring their targets into fake romantic relationships online, before persuading them to invest large sums into fraudulent cryptocurrency platforms. The practice is known as “pig butchering” – a euphemism for fattening up a victim before they are slaughtered. Park Sung-joo, head of South Korea’s National Office of Investigation, told reporters last week that the repatriated group had been linked to crimes including voice phishing, romance scams and other fraud schemes. Advertisement National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac previously said the detained individuals included both “voluntary and involuntary participants” in the scams. Public outcry South Korea sent a delegation to Cambodia last week, headed by the deputy foreign minister and including police as well as intelligence agents, to discuss the scam centre issue, which it says has resulted in the kidnapping of dozens of South Koreans. The push follows public outcry over the killing of a South Korean college student in Cambodia, who was found dead in a pick-up truck in August after having allegedly been kidnapped and tortured by a scam centre crime ring. Seoul also announced a ban on travel to parts of Cambodia last week, amid concerns over its citizens being kidnapped and forced into working for the scam centres. The measures come amid recent moves by other governments to crack down on the scam centres, which have ballooned into a multibillion-dollar illicit industry since the COVID-19 pandemic, when the global shutdown saw many Chinese-owned casinos and hotels in the country pivot to illicit operations. Last week, the United States and United Kingdom announced sweeping sanctions against a Cambodia-based multinational crime network, identified as the Prince Group, for running a chain of “scam centres” across the region. US Attorney General Pam Bondi called the move “one of the most significant strikes ever against the global scourge of human trafficking and cyber-enabled financial fraud”. On Friday, Japanese public broadcaster NHK reported that police in Tokyo had arrested three people for their involvement in Cambodia-based scams. Adblock test (Why?)

Mongolia’s president vetoes effort to unseat PM

Mongolia’s president vetoes effort to unseat PM

President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh claims parliament’s vote to oust the PM is invalid because of ‘procedural flaws’. Published On 20 Oct 202520 Oct 2025 Click here to share on social media share2 Share Mongolia’s president has vetoed a parliamentary resolution to dismiss the country’s prime minister, deepening a political crisis in the resource-rich state. President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh issued the veto on Monday, three days after parliament voted to oust Prime Minister Gombojav Zandanshatar, who had drawn anger for changing the country’s mineral policy. Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of list Khurelsukh’s office said parliament’s attempt to remove Zandanshatar, a fellow member of the ruling Mongolian People’s Party (MPP), was invalid because it did not have a quorum when it began the session. “These procedural flaws constitute a breach of the Constitution and compromise the principle of the rule of law,” said the president in a statement cited by the state Montsame news agency. Mongolia’s constitutional court has scheduled a meeting to discuss the president’s veto. The contention over Zandanshatar’s fate is part of a deeper feud within the MPP. In September, Zandanshatar lost a party leadership election to his chief rival, parliamentary speaker Amarbayasgalan Dashzegve, who himself resigned last week amid corruption allegations. The crisis follows a wave of popular unrest in Mongolia, which though rich in natural resources, has been bogged down by perceived corruption and a weak economy. Such tumult forced out Zandanshatar’s predecessor, Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene, in June after he lost a no-confidence vote in Mongolia’s parliament. Zandanshatar, for his part, had faced criticism from lawmakers, including from his own party, over an overhaul to minerals policy that would make exporters pay royalties based on domestic stock prices, rather than international benchmarks used since 2021, which critics warned could hurt the national budget. Advertisement He also drew fire for appointing a justice minister without notifying parliament, which MPs said was unlawful. The Mongolian president returned to Ulaanbaatar last Thursday after a state visit to India, where officials reached agreements in areas including oil and gas. Adblock test (Why?)
