What's the issue? Is the video not real? It looked real to me.
If someone says they're Mel Gibson with "parody" in their handle, "parody" in their moniker, "parody" as a warning tab under their name, and "parody" in their account description (there's 9 "parody" on the X page above-the-fold), I don't see what the issue is if the video isn't AI.
You don’t think it’s deceptive by nature to use a celebrity’s name to increase your clicks? It’s not relevant as it is an old video from February for a BOOM! press conference that never happened like this post implies.
I just think people posting here should put more effort into seeing if the story is legit and current news. Too many people just read the post title and give it an upvote. Where is the discernment? Glad to see others here calling this out.
One is integrity of posts and people just upclicking anything. That is definitely a problem.
The other is some guy creating a parody account that seemingly made a post that is true.
I don't see any connection at all between the two issues above.
Do I have a problem with parody accounts? Not if they're clearly labeled as such, and are passing along information that is true.
Brian Cates is heavily quoted around here and started out as "StealthJeff" on Twitter, pretending to be Jeff Sessions alt account with no parody label.
Then there's the ultimate parody account, Papi Trumpo ... I'm not seeing anything wrong with parody accounts -- actually I see that it's built into meme culture.
A parody is a creative work—such as literature, music, film, or art—that imitates another, well-known work, person, or genre in an exaggerated, humorous, or satirical way. It often serves as a form of commentary, mockery, or criticism, highlighting the clichés or flaws of the original subject.
Papi Trumpo is an excellent example of parody. I love it. If Mel Gibson parody on X posted about Mel Gibson in some way, that’s fine. Does he?
grok: It was recorded on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, during remarks Trump made in the Oval Office while praising Elon Musk and the early DOGE team (which had grown from ~12 to nearly 100 staffers at that point). ..the teased “name-dropping” press conference the next day (February 13, 2025) did not occur in the dramatic way described—no public event where Trump read out specific individual names tied to kickbacks or corruption materialized then.
Pelosi's having bourbon for breakfast.
She always has bourbon for breakfast.
I want to know when people are actually getting locked up. It's more of a crime shoplifting from WalMart than stealing billions.
'Hammer Time", a little different than the half naked guy at her house.
On people like Nan, they've only got one crack at her. I hope they don't screw it up.
DOUBLE BOURBON!!!!!!!
I see what you did there he switched up from vodka, huh?
Please stop posting X parody accounts as real news. Please.
We should do better.

We're gettin' high dude. And you're all "facts this, facts that". Blech. It's harshing my buzz bro. Let us in-group cohere, maaan.
You brought up 2 different issues.
One is integrity of posts and people just upclicking anything. That is definitely a problem.
The other is some guy creating a parody account that seemingly made a post that is true.
I don't see any connection at all between the two issues above.

Let’s start with the definition of parody.
Papi Trumpo is an excellent example of parody. I love it. If Mel Gibson parody on X posted about Mel Gibson in some way, that’s fine. Does he?
He announced this last week. There was never a follow-up the next day.
Snow in the window?

I posted same thing. X sucks because people take old videos and try to pass content off as current. Nothing is real!
The clicks and money they recive is real.
ding ding ding
Good catch...
Look in the upper right corner at the date as well. April 1, 2026
How old is this vid?
I just put MTG on my GAW Bingo Card. Now that would be awesome if her name is announced
We seem to only get 1 or the 3, expose. Still waiting on the other 2.
This is fake. Look a the way he moves behind the podium and the artifacts when he moves.
Also, I've never seen a podium in the Oval Office.
How nice of the government to create the list for us…
GRRRRRRRRRRR! This video is not from April 1 2026.
This is a video of Trump speaking to press February 12, 2025 (or around there, with the announced follow-up press conference on February 13, 2025).
You really need to question everything you see on X.
That was announced on April 1st according to the date on the video or am I missing something?
ummmmm... no. He's not.

Yes, EXPOSE, CONVICT and IMPRISON = REFUND
And all of those congress critters and senators one week into their vacation on the taxpayer dime!
Hopium extra strong
When do we get those 300 wingwangs as a refund
I wonder if MTG's name is on the list...
