Like most of us, Anderson Cooper is fed up with Donald Trump.

After being subjected to Trump's ineffective role in the Oval Office and listening to his repetitive bellyaching over his witch hunt, Cooper focused on another of Trump's odd idiosyncrasies.

During his "The RidicuList" segment, the CNN host commented on Trump's "unusual tics" in his speaking style.

"I'm not talking about his screaming or cursing or mimicking a dog chocking to death," said Cooper.


Cooper mocked Trump by speaking in third person, which is something the president has a tendency of doing.

"What Anderson Cooper is talking is his habit of referring to himself in the third person."

You can watch the full segment in the YouTube clip, below.

Anderson Cooper: No president should speak like Elmowww.youtube.com

The program showed examples of the "the third-person-in-chief" speaking in his "bizarre vernacular," and said that the president is not supposed to talk like Elmo – the lovable red monster from Sesame Street who speaks in a high falsetto.

A clip of Elmo talking in the third person rounded out the segment. But Cooper pointed out that this is not a new affectation for Trump.

"Speaking in the third person was a habit for president Trump long before he moved into 1600 Sesame Street."

He referred to Trump's November 6, 2012, tweet as proof. The then-citizen Trump bragged about his number one show, The Apprentice and congratulated himself.


Even then, his manner of speech raised eyebrows.


I guess we missed an early warning.



Sesame Street fans want to keep politics out of their neighborhood.







Others reveled in another one of Cooper's savage burn against Trump.






Some users gave shade by referring to themselves in third person.



Elmo is now considering speech therapy.

Audience Horrified After Jon Stewart Accidentally Injures Himself During 'Daily Show' Segment

Like any good performer, Jon Stewart seems to take seriously the maxim that an artist must suffer for his art—though he might have taken it just a touch too literally.

Audience members at The Daily Show were left shocked recently when Stewart smashed his prop coffee cup on his desk as part of a bit, only to end up gashing the heck out of his hand.

JD Vance Mocked After Absurdly Praising Trump For The Words He 'Chooses'

Vice President J.D. Vance was widely mocked after absurdly praising President Donald Trump as someone who "chooses his words carefully."

It sure was odd for Vance to say this about the same man who once referred to supply chains as "supply change," had to have an entire interview with Dr. Phil awkwardly cut to hide his repeated gaffes, weirdly named his billionaire ally Elon Musk "Leon" at a rally, and as recently as this month referred the social media platform TikTok as "Tic Tac" twice in quick succession, confusing it with the popular breath mint brand.

Woody Harrelson Slammed For Criticizing Dr. Fauci And Early HIV Drug On Joe Rogan's Podcast

Actor Woody Harrelson disappointed fans after he slammed Dr. Anthony Fauci, calling him “extraordinarily evil” for signing off on distributing azidothymidine (AZT), an antiretroviral medication used as an early treatment for HIV/AIDS.

Fauci served as the chief medical advisor to former Democratic President Joe Biden from 2021 to 2022 and was also a lead member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force under Republican President Donald Trump's first term during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rachel Maddow Goes Off On MSNBC For 'Indefensible' Cancelation Of Non-White Hosts' Shows

In an emotional and powerful rant, MSNBC personality Rachel Maddow criticized her own network after the network canceled shows hosted by colleagues Joy Reid, Alex Wagner, and Katie Phang—all non-white.

The network reports that for every job impacted, a new position is being posted, initially for internal applicants. As it prepares for its split from Comcast later this year, MSNBC is planning to launch its own Washington bureau and hire staff for a new news division. The move marks the first significant change under the leadership of new MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler.

GOP Rep. Says He'd 'F**king Kill' Tucker Carlson If They Ever Met In Awkward Hot Mic Moment

Unless he has a death wish, let's hope far-right political commentator Tucker Carlson won't be running into Republican Texas Representative Dan Crenshaw anytime soon.

Why? Well, it might not end well for the former Fox News conspiracy theorist.
