Donald Trump is being ridiculed for posting a bizarre video clip of himself during his presidential days – but with a voiceover imitating a nature documentary about the lion.
The former president posted the 20 seconds clip on his Truth Social account late on Monday and shows him waving to people while the narrator can be heard saying, “This lion, he’s the king of the jungle… huge mane, he’s so big, he’s so hot”.
“Now when the lion comes, they start messing with him, biting his tail, biting his ears. He doesn’t do anything. The lioness, she starts messing with him, coming over, making trouble. Still, nothing,” the voiceover continues, as the clip shows Melania Trump with him during his oath-taking ceremony.
“Now, the other animals, they notice this. They start to move in. The Jackals. Hyenas. Barking at him. Laughing at him,” the narrator continues as the footage shows Democrat leaders, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tearing up Trump’s State of the Union address in early 2020.
“One day the lion gets up and scares the shit out of everybody. Runs like the wind. Eats everything in his path. ‘Cause every once in a while, the lion has to show the jackals who he is.”
The video comes after the twice-impeached former president claimed that former president George HW Bush “took millions and millions of documents to a former bowling alley pieced together with what was then an old and broken Chinese restaurant”.
Naturally, social media users had a lot to say about the footage.

This is like a bad B movie from the 50s. Who is the narrator? He sounds like a speaker for a Russian propaganda film. Oh wait…maybe he is a speaker for a Russian propaganda film.

Please somebody with real skills re edit this to include his ramp mincing, his water glass struggling, his double-dong dance, his toilet paper on the shoe…you know. The real him.

"The lion… huge mane… so Big, so Hot…"
Made me laugh my head off!
Diaper Don feels desperate. The heat creeps up the back of his neck. Surely he must realize he's going down.
Question is: Will Trump seduce his supporters into violence again?

Seriously, was that like the weirdest thing you've ever seen?!? I wonder if that Christopher Walken monologue was used with his permission? If so, I've lost all respect for the dude.

Literally included a clip of him catching an object. 🤦🏼♀️ This guy is truly pathetic.

This is as creepy as it is vile. Trump must be indicted. We cannot allow him to be part of our society. He is a traitor trying to cause instability, as he promotes dangerous and violent propaganda and tries to undermine our govt. Time to wake up. He is a domestic terrorist.
