Few were surprised this weekend when President Donald Trump posted a stream of erratic tweets attacking everyone from former President Barack Obama to CBS News's Norah O'Donnell.

Among the tweets was a video of Trump's face superimposed onto that of actor Bill Pullman who played the President of the United States in the acclaimed 1996 action film Independence Day.


Pullman's character, President Thomas J. Whitmore, gives a rousing speech near the climax of the film in which he describes fighting for the right "to live, to exist."

The video tweeted by Trump shows other Republican figureheads like Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Vice President Mike Pence listening in adoration, presumably to make Trump seem inspiring.

Watch below.

The bizarre tweet racked up views and reactions, even from Pullman himself, who said:

"My voice belongs to no one but me, and I'm not running for president — this year."

He wasn't the only one to respond.

Legendary actor Vivica A. Fox called out Trump's lack of courage readily displayed by the President in Independence Day.

Others felt the same.




Trump did Bill Pullman dirty with this video.



Remember when things weren't awful?

That news comes just weeks after Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg reported that he was invited into a Signal chat with high-level Trump administration officials, particularly Hegseth and Vice President J.D. Vance, discussing military strategy surrounding war strikes in Yemen.

Trump Slammed After Using Easter Message To Rage At 'Radical Left Lunatics'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he took to Truth Social to wish a "Happy Easter to all" before quickly switching gears to rage at the "radical leftists" that live in his head rent-free.

Trump's post accused leftists of "scheming" to allow dangerous people into the country, a criticism the White House has leveled against those who've condemned their refusal to bring wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia—who they claim is a "terrorist"— back to the U.S. from a notorious El Salvadoran prison.
