Trump’s BIZARRE Oval Office Rant Leaves Kids SPEECHLESS

Added: 2026-05-07

[00:00:00]On Tuesday, Trump gathered a group of young children in the Oval Office to sign a proclamation reinstating the old presidential physical fitness test for school children. This was supposed to be some sort of heartwarming photo op to soften the image of Trump. Let's see how it went.

[00:00:14]>> We can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon.

[00:00:16]You might be too young for this. I don't know if I want. They probably know. They They probably know better than most people. But you can't let a bunch of lunatics have a nuclear weapon or the world would be in trouble. the world would be in trouble. They killed 42,000 people last month. 42,000 unarmed protesters. They had no guns.

[00:00:37]So, they had a 250,000 people crowd. And they had snipers. They had like four or five snipers in buildings up high. And you're standing there and all of a sudden the guy on your left goes down. Then somebody, that's what happened with the women protest. They had 200,000 women protesting a year ago. And everyone thought that was the end of Iran. And then all of a sudden, a woman dropped dead with a bullet right there. Always right there. I had not I had not se I'd seen some of these clips. Uh wow. The the the doing the sniper to the face in front of the children. Uh did you see the clip of him uh when a little girl said she wanted to play volleyball and he was like, "Aren't you small for volleyball? Try soccer.

[00:01:27]He challenged another kid to a fight at some point.

[00:01:28]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was uh uh Wow.

[00:01:33]>> Yeah. I mean, >> like this is one of those things like just from a White House communications perspective, it's supposed to be a layup. It's just a nice easy photo op.

[00:01:43]Like Trump has this whole thing about how Obama softened the country by changing the physical getting rid of the old physical fitness test and making it more focused on wellness than winning the shuttle run or whatever it is you have to do for that test. the number of pull-ups you have. And so this is like we're going back to the old days and instead he just says the most insane things live on television surrounded by children. It's the Well, it's, you know, it's funny because on some level he's not wrong, which is I'm not getting any press for the presidential fitness test today. There's there's all this everyone wants to talk about Iran. I should just be talking about Iran. Why do you got me doing this stupid today? This is not the right day to do it. I'm just going to turn this event. I mean, look, we we have uh Trump on in our office for uh whole swaths of the day. Uh those are the kind of the wages of sin in this job. But the the like he he did an event yesterday.

[00:02:37]He just spoke in a kind of monotone for like the better part of an hour. He's rambling all over the place. He's touching on all these bringing up the pawn stars guys. He's basically just doing a not like he doesn't that he's just kind of you pull his string. They sit him in the chair. He says whatever maybe he says on the cards. Then he kind of just does his kind of his drone about the Ron war that he's doing doing the rest of the day. Um Dan, did you do the physical fitness test when you were growing up? So >> I did.

[00:03:05]>> I remember like when they did the presidential fitness test when I was growing up. It would be just on some random day you'd be brought out to the soccer field and everyone would have to try to run a mile even though they hadn't run a mile before. And then there were pull-ups or push-ups or something.

[00:03:18]I was like, I can't do any of this. I was so pull-ups. And then there was the shuttle run where you had to run back and forth. Uh >> it's like a 300 shuttle. Yeah. It was basically like you're doing the NFL combine um for young children.

[00:03:30]>> Yeah. Like I'm all for having some kind of a physical fitness test, but I think the idea was to have something that was more kind of reflective of like how to get kids to actually like doing exercise as opposed to making them all compete against each other and embarrass them.

[00:03:44]Embarrass them. Yes. It was embarrassing. I was embarrassed every time I had to do the presidential fitness test. Yeah, I mean just just the also just I mean fitness test aside just there like Trump has his moments of charisma or charm or humor but the like the defining characterist he's like missing this like normal gene of being a human in him that comes out where just like he can't read social cues and so just anyone else surrounded by young children would have answered these questions differently or demired right just to tell the story about women getting shot between the eyes, then feeling the need to gesture to the exact place in which they were shot with these children there is just like that's an insane thing to do, >> right? He has no instinct for just like it's so it's such an easy thing to say.

[00:04:31]Like part of the why you do the event with the kids is so when you get the hard question, you say like, "Look, we're here with the kids today. We're talking about fitness. You kids are going to get real big and strong. You're trying to get like a nice shot out of the thing." Uh but yeah, he can't. He doesn't have that ability. Even when he talks to kids, like he kind of talks to kids like with the kind of mindset about children that like a Victorian like a vicious Victorian school uh uh uh master would have about like children are tiny adults that must be that must be disciplined at all times and forged into strong people who do not ever express emotion. And so like turns whenever he talks Turks to kids it's like like ah you're gonna be bad at soccer next what do you like he kind of razes them like they're in the cabinet in the same you know he saw the other day when he uh the uh the head of NASA has those kind of big ears and he goes like that guy can hear real good he talks to kids the same way he talks to them in the exact same way.

[00:05:24]>> It's just what a what a weirdo. Okay finally Barack Obama sat down with Steven Coar for an interview at the Obama Presidential Center which is slated to open next month. Per usual the old boss had some advice for Democrats.

[00:05:35]Here's what he had to say.

[00:05:37]>> With respect to Democrats, um I'm not as worried about this so-called rift between the left and liberals as you describe it. And so I don't worry as much about some of these uh these issues uh within the Democratic party. What I'm more interested in around for Democrats is do you know how to just talk to regular people like we're not in a college seminar, right? You know, c can you talk plain English to folks about >> I think that's one of the powers that mom Donnie has.

[00:06:12]>> That's correct.

[00:06:13]>> Is that he also not only does he talk like a normal person, but he lives a normal life, but he also he names what is obviously wrong.

[00:06:20]>> Yes.

[00:06:21]>> And he goes, "We should change that thing.

[00:06:23]>> That doesn't makes any sense." and and and and not have a bunch of gobbledegooker. One of the things you learn as president, >> yes, >> is government is terrible at keeping secrets. This idea of conspiracy theories. If if there were aliens or alien spaceships or anything under the control of the United States government that we knew about, seen, photographs, what have you, >> I promise you, some guy guarding the installation would have taken a selfie with one of the aliens and sent it to his girlfriend and present first contact.

[00:07:02]I think I would be a good emissary for uh for the plan to represent.

[00:07:08]>> Yeah. I mean, you know, I've I've got diverse background, >> some experience in state craft and diplomacy.

[00:07:15]>> Um I'm friendly.

[00:07:17]>> Okay.

[00:07:18]>> You know.

[00:07:18]>> Yeah.

[00:07:19]>> So, I actually think uh you know, I uh I could do a pretty good job.

[00:07:26]>> How dumb How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? Well, you know, the bar has changed.

[00:07:35]>> That is true. That is true. At times, subterranean.

[00:07:38]>> So, so >> I don't have to limbo so low.

[00:07:41]>> They put it this way. I I I think that you could perform significantly better than some folks that we've seen.

[00:07:50]>> All right. Yeah. I I I have I have great confidence in that. Thank you very much.

[00:07:55]Yeah. Is that an endorsement?

[00:07:56]>> It was not.

[00:08:00]Co Bear for president.

[00:08:01]>> Co Bear seems to think it's dumb.

[00:08:03]There's a lot of great moments in this conversation. First of all, saying I would be a great emissary for humanity is so funny. There was a moment in the movie Contact with Jodie Foster, which is a great movie where the spoiler for Contact, 1996, Contact, I believe. uh one of the uh the the the original um transporter gets blown up by um a terrorist and but the but the Japanese has secretly constructed a second and they do this as a throwaway line and the the the the billionaire just goes they still want an American to go and it's like why the would the Japanese go to all this trouble to build a transporter to aliens and send an American but I do think an American should go Dan >> I do think an American should go first America first for yeah it should he's a great he's sincerely I do think he's right that he is truly really short list for best options for be the human emissary for first contact. He's not wrong.

[00:08:52]>> Who else would be on that list for you, do you think?

[00:08:54]>> Uh, that's an interesting question. Here are some people that would be good emissaries to humanity.

[00:08:59]>> Oprah.

[00:09:00]>> Yeah, you got to put Oprah on the list.

[00:09:03]Uh, I think that's a good option.

[00:09:05]>> Um, h gets tough after that.

[00:09:11]>> I don't know. Who do you think would be a good MS? Well, you could do LeBron James just in the just in case the aliens want to challenge us to a um Space Jam like basketball game for the future of the planet, >> right? Right. You do want someone with like athletus. Would you perhaps you might want a scientist? You know, a scientist might be a good option. I think you really want a team to be there. Uh also, there's going to be some language issues. I don't know how good our AI is going to be when this happens, but um we'll probably have some language issues because Arrival is a great movie, too. This thing is so funny because there was that apocry this there was this New Yorker story way back in like 2007208 I think it was New Yorker um that had these quotes not directly from Obama they were like secondhand quotes and I think they might be apocryphal of Obama saying that he that he he's his best speech writer he's his best communicator he's his best uh political director and so it's not surprising Obama would also find himself to be the uh the best emissary >> yeah well it's just sort of like I've I've I've thought about it and I think I'm the right person to represent humankind. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. I appreciate the Look, it took confidence to run against Hillary Clinton in 2007. It takes confidence to represent humanity on that spaceship, but I do genuinely believe he's got the right set of skills. He would be great.

[00:10:21]>> Yeah. No, I I think he this is a case where he is he is correct. He probably is. He's you're right. He's on the short list. That's it for this week's preview of PDSE America.
