You won’t be able to unsee these edited versions of President Donald Trump’s Tuesday night Oval Office address.

They inevitably prompted some amusing responses online:
This was actually the sex tape audio with @StormyDaniels, same duration and sign off.

Parker you've out done yourself. Grotesque and phenomenal at the same time.

I watched all of this and none of the original, but feel like I heard the best parts anyway.

This is not how ASMR works.

Dear god that was uncomfortable. Still better than the original.

Pure unadulterated high-octane nightmare fuel. Thanks.
