Pastor Calls Evangelical Christians Who Don't Support Trump 'Morons'

Donald Trump is back at it again with the extremely un-presidential tweets.On Friday afternoon, hours after he held a press conference outside the White House to announce he was declaring a national emergency (even though he didn't need to) the president tweeted a parody State of the Union video in an effort to mock Democrats.The video, originally created by @carpedonktum, shows clips of Democratic members of Congress at Trump's State of the Union address set to that super emo R.E.M. song, "Everybody Hurts."The 2:20 video was posted to YouTube earlier this month and received more than 50,000 views, but it seems Trump just noticed -- and it must have really spoken to him.After he shared the video of the Democratic party "hurting" on his official POTUS Twitter account, as you can probably imagine it didn't go over so well with many followers.> What the ever loving f*ck is this? Something tells me REM is not gunna be happy with this. https://t.co/e840RN09Up> > -- Emily C. Singer (@CahnEmily) February 15, 2019> This is so damn meta, I feel the camera pulling out on the whole planet to reveal its all a big punk. > > Democracy or not. > > Those are the stakes. https://t.co/dDleNw1E8f> > -- Mark Haslett (@mthaslett) February 15, 2019> i really cannot believe you are the president of the united states tweeting shit like this: https://t.co/KLkOLBK0xw> > -- a deadbeat cousin (@omgchante) February 15, 2019> I've seen a lot of dumb things in this life, but this might be the dumbest. https://t.co/qHPf60SYZv> > -- Collin McNaught (@Jericohol14) February 15, 2019> This is properly fucking weird and embarrassing. What an absolute creature of a human being https://t.co/7ApjwMnyXH> > -- Conor Gilmurray (@ConorGilmurray) February 15, 2019And as for @carpedonktum, who has made other political parodies in the past, he seems to be just as in shock over the president sharing his video as the rest of us.> Holy Shit!!! https://t.co/qviyREOnQo> > -- Carpe Donktum (@CarpeDonktum) February 15, 2019While R.E.M. has yet to respond to Trump's usage of their song, we have a feeling the band might not be too thrilled. Back in 2015, R.E.M. spoke out to condemn politicians who use their music without permission, such as Mike Huckabee and Donald Trump. "Go fuck yourselves, the lot of you -- you sad, attention-grabbing, power-hungry little men," bassist Mike Mills tweeted on behalf of the band after Trump played their song, "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" during an anti-Iran deal rally.> "Go fuck yourselves, the lot of you--you sad, attention grabbing, power-hungry little men. Do not use our music or my voice for your 1)> > -- Mike Mills (@m_millsey) September 9, 2015The band then posted a statement to their Facebook group, asking candidates to "cease and desist," and Mills further discussed his thoughts on Twitter, calling Trump an attention-seeking "Orange Clown."> Personally, I think the Orange Clown will do anything for attention. I hate giving it to him.> > -- Mike Mills (@m_millsey) September 9, 2015Both Mills and Stipe have been extremely open about their dislike for the president over the years, and during a live Q&A with NME in November 2017, the two discussed how their music related to the chaotic political state of America. And today, Mills also spends a great deal of time tweeting negatively about Trump, so he's clearly not a fan.Image: screengrab/twitterWhile the country waits for R.E.M. to potentially lose their shit over Trump once again associating himself with their music despite being asked not to, let us find comfort in that scene from The Office where Dwight cries in his car to "Everybody Hurts."What a mood, America.

The New York trial of Guzman is drawing to a close, but the question of controlling the corruption that allowed the Sinaloa cartel to flourish in Mexico will live on even after jurors reach a verdict. DEA agent Victor Vazquez told jurors he would only work with the Mexican marines when trying to capture Guzman and other leaders of the Sinaloa cartel, because that wing of the armed forced were viewed as less susceptible to corruption.
