According to the Washington Post, doctored videos of Pelosi to make her appear drunk are popping up all over the Internet. I haven't seen one and I can't link to the clip so I don't know if this is character assassination or just schoolboy humour.

Trump retweets a doctored video of Pelosi attempting to show her drunk, and allows AG Barr to declassify selected documents to assist in his narrative that there were illegal investigations into him leading up to the 2016 election. ...
The Washington Post - Faked Pelosi videos, slowed to make her appear drunk, spread across social media
This demonstrates the simple techniques (like slowing playback to 75% speed) used to fake the Pelosi videos, and compares the original video with the doctored one.
One version, posted by the conservative Facebook page Politics WatchDog, had been viewed more than 2 million times by Thursday night, and shared more than 45,000 times, with 23,000 comments ...

I'm watching MSNBC right now and they just played a clip that can only be described as unbelievable. Trump lined up his whole cabinet and made them all individually recite what a great boss he is and what a wonderful privilege it is to work for him. Then they all had to attest to his 'calm' demeanour during the episode with Pelosi. It was an utterly humiliating, cringe-inducing performance. Even in the Trump era, I would not have believed it if I hadn't just seen it. It was just like North Koreans heaping praise on the Dear Leader so they could go home that evening without being shredded by an anti-aircraft weapon. It is exactly what you would expect from a tinpot tyrannical dictatorship. Shame on those craven cowards who feed this maniac's ego. Every single flunky who fails to stand up to this twittering lunatic belongs in stocks. The entire Republican party has sold its soul. May they all rot in hell!

The New York Times - Distorted Videos of Nancy Pelosi Spread on Facebook and Twitter, Helped by Trump
May 24, 2019
Manipulated videos of Speaker Nancy Pelosi that made it seem as if she were stumbling and slurring her words continued to spread across social media on Friday, fueled by President Trump’s feud with the Democratic leader.
One of the videos, which showed Ms. Pelosi speaking at a conference this week, appeared to be slowed down to make her speech sound continually garbled.
The video has been viewed millions of times on Facebook and was amplified by the president’s personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, who shared the video Thursday night on Twitter.
“What is wrong with Nancy Pelosi?” Mr. Giuliani said in a tweet that has since been deleted. “Her speech pattern is bizarre.”
Mr. Trump himself tweeted a separate video of Ms. Pelosi on Thursday night, an edited clip from Fox Business that spliced together moments from a 20-minute news conference and emphasized points where she had stumbled on her words.
“PELOSI STAMMERS THROUGH NEWS CONFERENCE,” the president tweeted. ...
EDIT: The Washington Post - Why it’s so alarming that Trump shared an edited video of Pelosi
By Editorial Board
May 24 at 3:13 PM
... In the best of circumstances, the emergence of these tools for mass deception would be disturbing.
It becomes absolutely alarming at a time when America is led by somebody who is intent on deceiving.
The role of a responsible leader is to be a bulwark against an assault on truth, yet instead Mr. Trump is a battering ram.
That’s not a problem Twitter or any other platform can solve. ...

Trump is an out of control madman yet he is allowed to remain in charge. This twisted, neurotic, immoral, insecure despot who demands that his vassals swear fealty to him has sole authority over the world's largest nuclear arsenal. At this stage our best prospects may actually lie with the Chinese, or even Putin, and that is a sobering thought.

Can we not start a petition to have Twitter close Trump's account? Just to see how far it gets?

So calm, so transparent ...
from The Washington Post, May 24
In our current age of foolishness, things are “incredible,” “thriving,” “booming,” “prospering,” “tremendous,” “beautiful,” “very much happy” - the “greatest,” “best” and “most.”
It is also a “disaster,” a “mess,” “disintegrating,” “really bad,” “even worse” than the “worst,” “ridiculous,” “nasty” and “fake” - with “abuses,” a “lot of problems” and in a “spiral down.”
All of the above thoughts were proclaimed by President Trump within the span of a few minutes this week.
So extreme is his rhetoric that even an attempt to portray himself as calm devolved into hysterical hyperbole.
“I was so calm,” he said. “I was extremely calm. ... Kellyanne, what was my temperament?”
“Very calm,” aide Kellyanne Conway replied.
“You were very calm,” aide Mercedes Schlapp assured him.
Aide Larry Kudlow concurred: “You were very calm.”
“So I was very calm,” said Trump.
“Very calm,” spokeswoman Sarah Sanders echoed.
“Couldn’t have been more calm,” Trump summarized.
“We had this instance at least once before where I was very, very calm. ... So I was extremely calm, very much like I am right now.”
Totally!!! He was so preternaturally pacific, so stupendously serene, so transcendentally tranquil that there has never, ever been a person, dead or alive, as utterly, astonishingly and overwhelmingly calm as Trump. ...
EDIT : (Some of these aides were not even in the room at the time of Trump's White House tantrum)
