Trump, 79, Posts Bizarre Grim Reaper-Themed AI Music Video

Source: Daily Beast
President Donald Trump was back online and back to posting more incomprehensible content after a double date at Vice President JD Vance’s residence Thursday night, with one post in particular, an AI-generated music video, standing out from the rest.

The video, which is soundtracked by what is presumably an AI-generated cover of Blue Öyster Cult’s 1976 hit “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper,” portrays former OMB director and Project 2025 architect Russell Vought as the reaper in question.

The visuals, which are also AI-generated, show Vought as the Grim Reaper, cavorting around Washington, D.C., while wielding his scythe. Interspersed throughout are shots of a band led by Trump playing a cowbell—one is famously used on the original track—accompanied by Vance on the drums.

-snip-

The lyrics to the song are, “Now their time has come / Here the power’s gone / Russ Vought is the reaper / He wields the pen, the funds and the brain / Here comes the reaper / Dems you babies / Here comes the reaper / Gonna tie your hands / Here comes the reaper / Won’t be able to fly / Here comes the reaper / Cry baby end your plan.”

Trump calls for jailing Democratic leaders as troops prepare for Chicago deployment

Source: Reuters

CHICAGO/WASHINGTON, Oct 8 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday called for jailing Chicago's mayor and the governor of Illinois, both Democrats, as his administration prepared to deploy military troops to the streets of the third-largest U.S. city.

Neither Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson nor Illinois Governor JB Pritzker have been accused of criminal wrongdoing, though both have emerged as prominent opponents of Trump's immigration crackdown and deployment of National Guard troops in Democratic-leaning cities.

Trump's call to imprison the two elected officials comes as another high-profile political rival, former FBI Director James Comey, was due to appear in court to face criminal charges that have been widely criticized as flimsy.

Snip…

On his social media platform, Trump accused Johnson and Pritzker of failing to protect immigration officers who have been operating in Chicago.

"Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!" Trump wrote, referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel.
