Consider that signaling his intent to the Orangeshirts, so to speak.

It says a lot, so maybe thinking of it as crazy is missing the point. He is a dictator sending messages to followers and creating a mythical battle in real time. In fact, there is a LOT of instant myth making that supports his base, no waiting necessary.

Favorite part was when Jeff Goldblum's crazy dad meets the president and starts talking about Area 51 and aliens, and the president scoffs, and the CIA guy says, "Uh, sir, there's something we haven't told you..."

That's the wonderful humble completely unTrumpian Bill Pullman.

It's amazing really. He's the president, and right now the country could use some good old Independence Day-style rally-around-the-flag leadership, but because he is COMPLETELY INCAPABLE OF DOING THAT, he instead posts a video on Twitter where someone has stuck his head on the actor who gave the speech the movie.

Utterly bonkers. Look at our president, everyone. He has to stick his own head onto the body of a fake president, because the fake president is better at presidenting than he is.

...onto the Bill Pullman speech from Independence Day?

Way to bet says: "no".

He'll like anything that has his face on it, no matter how lazily or dumbassedly it is done. Quality has never been Trump's "Job One".

listening to the speech.

I don't get it either but the first response about how he is such a shitty president he needs to photoshop himself onto a fictional one to try to make himself look good says it all.

he can make a speech worth listening to. That is all he can do; pretend. He's worse than a 10 year old boy sitting in a clubhouse in the woods with a "no girls allowed" sign and having a pity party about his inadequacy and impotency and blaming everyone else in the world but himself. Meanwhile, everyone else that was there with him has grown up, moved on, and left him, as of about 60 years ago.

Trump is the World's Biggest Snowflake and the World's Littlest Boy.

I fully anticipate whomever's doing these things to plant Mango Mussolini's mug over Tony Stark's face, and Biden's visage over Thanos' in the climax of Avengers: Endgame. (Maybe not, though. I recall they fucked up and depicted Donny Littlehands as Thanos not so long ago...)

as they prepare to battle the alien forces that have taken over Earth. Someone has superimposed trump's head over Bill Pullman's head, to make it look like trump is giving the rousing speech. The speech is the same as in the movie, only, in this video, it's delivered by trump.

As the crowd of pilots and crews gather 'round him, faces from the movie are covered with poorly-applied faces of right-wing pukesters, listening to the speech with reverent adoration.
