Donald Trump est confronté à des réactions négatives après avoir réagi maladroitement à une urgence médicale impliquant l’un de ses invités dans le bureau ovale. Les critiques se moquent de son comportement étrange et apparemment distant au fur et à mesure de l’incident.
A photo taken Thursday in the Oval Office while a man appears to pass out is going viral because of the president's reaction — or lack thereof.
Une photo de la scène est d’ailleurs rapidement devenue virale sur les réseaux sociaux…
Derrière son bureau
Sur cette photo devenue virale, Trump se tient maladroitement à son bureau ovale, face à la presse, dans une posture raide et presque détachée, tandis qu’à l’arrière-plan, plusieurs personnes présentes dans la pièce tentent de soigner un homme qui s’est effondré quelques instants plus tôt.
D’autres photos montrent la réaction étrange de Donald Trump face à l’urgence médicale.
On le voit toujours debout derrière son bureau, observant de loin l’homme allongé sur le sol.
L’homme qui s’est effondré a été identifié dans les rapports comme un invité d’Eli Lilly et un patient GLP-1 invité à l’événement du bureau ovale sur les médicaments de perte de poids. Les premiers témoignages suggèrent qu’il s’est brièvement évanoui, probablement en raison d’une hypotension artérielle, et qu’il s’est ensuite rétabli.
Absence d’inquiétude
Ce n’est qu’après que l’image se soit largement répandue sur les médias sociaux que de nombreux utilisateurs ont commencé à établir des parallèles entre l’indifférence apparente de Trump à ce moment-là et ce qu’ils considèrent comme son manque d’intérêt plus général pour les citoyens confrontés à des difficultés financières, qu’il s’agisse de la flambée des prix ou de la réduction des allocations SNAP, et ce alors que le gouvernement fédéral a été fermé pendant plus d’un mois.
Trump n’a pas été la seule personne présente lors de l’urgence médicale à faire face à de vives critiques sur les médias sociaux, puisque le secrétaire à la santé et aux services sociaux RFK Jr. a également été critiqué pour être sorti du bureau ovale au lieu d’aider l’homme en détresse, sa réaction ayant été capturée sur vidéo et largement partagée en ligne.
Les alliés de Donald Trump et de RFK Jr. ont affirmé que les deux hommes s’étaient simplement retirés pour laisser les professionnels s’occuper de la situation d’urgence, accusant les critiques d’instrumentaliser un moment d’effroi à des fins politiques.
holy shit — one of Trump's toadies just passed out and the White House event is brought to an abrupt end
Donald Trump is facing backlash after an awkward reaction to a medical emergency involving one of his guests in the Oval Office, with critics mocking his strange and seemingly distant behavior as the incident unfolded.
A photo from the scene quickly went viral on social media.
Behind his desk
In the now-viral photo, Trump stands awkwardly at his Oval Office desk, facing the press with a stiff, almost detached posture, while in the background several people who were present in the room are seen trying to give medical attention to a man who had collapsed moments earlier, lifting his legs into the air.
Trump’s bizarre reaction to the medical emergency is captured in other photos, showing him still standing behind his desk, watching from a distance as the man lies on the floor.
The man who collapsed was identified in reports as a guest of Eli Lilly and a GLP-1 patient invited to the Oval Office event on weight-loss drugs. Early accounts suggest he briefly fainted, likely due to low blood pressure, and later recovered.
Lack of concern
Only after the image spread widely on social media did many users begin drawing parallels between Trump’s apparent indifference in that moment and what they see as his broader lack of concern for citizens facing financial hardship, from soaring prices to cuts in SNAP benefits, all while the federal government had been shut down for more than a month.
Trump was not the only person present during the medical emergency to face sharp criticism on social media, as Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. was also called out for walking out of the Oval Office instead of assisting the man in distress, with his reaction captured on video and widely shared online.
Allies of Trump and RFK Jr. argued that both men simply stepped back to let professionals handle the emergency, accusing critics of weaponizing a frightening moment for political gain.
As the BBC faces a major scandal over a misleading edit of a Donald Trump speech from January 6, 2021, two top executives – Director Tim Davie and BBC News chief Deborah Turness – have resigned amid mounting accusations of bias and lack of impartiality.
«The TOP people in the BBC, including TIM DAVIE, the BOSS, are all quitting/FIRED, because they were caught “doctoring” my very good (PERFECT!) speech of January 6th.»
A (PERFECT!) speech
Trump has seized on the controversy on Truth Social to accuse the British, a key US ally, of damaging democracy, calling it «What a terrible thing for Democracy!» and is now threatening to sue the BBC for 1 billion dollars over the edited segment, according to several media outlets including The Washington Post and Fox News.
In his Truth Social post, Trump claimed that senior leadership at the broadcaster was being pushed out, writing that «The TOP people in the BBC, including TIM DAVIE, the BOSS, are all quitting/FIRED, because they were caught “doctoring” my very good (PERFECT!) speech of January 6th.»
«On top of everything else, they are from a Foreign Country, one that many consider our Number One Ally. What a terrible thing for Democracy!».
A terrible thing for Democracy
In the same message, Trump also thanked a British newspaper for its coverage of the controversy, writing «Thank you to The Telegraph for exposing these Corrupt “Journalists.”».
Trump continued his attack on the network and its staff, writing «These are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a Presidential Election.»
Trump ends his message by broadening his accusations to a key US ally as a whole, writing «On top of everything else, they are from a Foreign Country, one that many consider our Number One Ally. What a terrible thing for Democracy!».
«The BBC has caused President Trump to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm» and warning that «if the BBC does not comply with the above by November 14, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EST, President Trump will be left with no alternative but to enforce his legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved and are not waived»
Completely misleading
The accusations against the BBC centre on a Panorama documentary that spliced together separate parts of Donald Trump’s January 6, 2021 speech, allegedly creating the impression that he was directly urging supporters to storm the Capitol. The row was ignited by a detailed exposé in The Telegraph, based on a leaked 19-page internal memo written by former BBC adviser Michael Prescott.
That dossier claims the programme «Trump: A Second Chance?» was «completely misleading», accusing editors of “doctoring” Trump’s remarks by stitching together lines spoken nearly an hour apart and then overlaying them with footage of the Capitol march that was filmed earlier, thereby changing the meaning of his words.
«It feels like a coup.»
One Billion Dollars in damages
According to Fox News, Trump and his legal team have also sent a formal letter to the BBC, claiming that «The BBC has caused President Trump to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm» and warning that «if the BBC does not comply with the above by November 14, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EST, President Trump will be left with no alternative but to enforce his legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved and are not waived».
The letter adds that this could include «filing legal action for no less than $1,000,000,000 (One Billion Dollars) in damages.»
Turness, according to The Guardian, defended the corporation as she announced her resignation over the scandal, rejecting Trump’s claim that its journalists are corrupt and insisting that «Our journalists aren’t corrupt. Our journalists are hardworking people who strive for impartiality. And I will stand by their journalism,» adding that while mistakes happen, «There is no institutional bias.»
According to The Guardian, some BBC staff believe the scandal is being driven less by genuine concerns over impartiality than by a coordinated campaign from the corporation’s political enemies, with sources inside the News department saying «It feels like a coup» and calling it «the result of a campaign by political enemies of the BBC.»
Kim Kardashian once again caused a sensation at the London premiere of the All’s Fair series, revealing a bold and resolutely glamorous look. Her colleagues were even more elegant. And let’s not forget the efflorescent decor, which stole the show on the purple carpet. Here are a few looks from the event.
Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows and Sidney Powell, all close former political allies or lawyers of Donald Trump, are among scores of people pardoned by the president over the weekend for their roles in an alleged plot to steal the 2020 election.
The president’s intent
In a statement posted on X, US pardon attorney Ed Martin announced that the Trump administration had granted pardons to 77 people said to have taken part in a scheme to install fake Republican electors in several battleground states, which would have falsely declared Trump the winner of the 2020 election instead of Joe Biden.
In a post on X, US pardon attorney Ed Martin celebrated the move, writing «Breaking: President Trump pardoned the 2020 Alternative Electors.» He went on to thank Trump, the White House and several senior legal advisers for allowing him to help carry out the president’s intent, saying it would «let their healing begin».
«Let their healing begin.»
-US pardon attorney Ed Martin
Ed Martin also attached to his post a copy of a document titled «A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump», setting out a list of 77 people to whom Trump granted a «full, complete, and unconditional pardon» for conduct linked to efforts to create and promote alternative slates of presidential electors and to expose alleged voting fraud and vulnerabilities in the 2020 election.
Among those pardoned are Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s former personal lawyer, accused of pushing false fraud claims and backing the fake electors plan; Mark Meadows, Trump’s final White House chief of staff, accused of helping pressure officials and support efforts to keep Trump in power after 2020; and Sidney Powell, a pro-Trump lawyer tied to conspiracy theories about voting machines and efforts to overturn results in key states.
John Eastman and Kenneth Chesebro, conservative lawyers close to Trump, were accused of designing the legal strategy behind the fake electors. Former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark was accused of drafting a false DOJ letter to urge states to appoint alternate Trump electors. Jenna Ellis, another Trump campaign lawyer, was accused of spreading false claims of massive fraud to support that broader effort.
«This proclamation ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American people following the 2020 Presidential Election and continues the process of national reconciliation.»
The process of national reconciliation
These are only a few examples of the alleged offenses committed by those pardoned by Trump, who are all accused of having played an active role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election result in his favor.
In the written proclamation, Trump describes the cases against those he has just pardoned as a «grave national injustice» and presents the pardons as a step that continues the process of national reconciliation:
«This proclamation ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American people following the 2020 Presidential Election and continues the process of national reconciliation.»
