Donald Trump Shares Bonkers Video Showing Him As President Forever

Donald Trump raised eyebrows on Twitter Friday when he shared this doctored video that showed him running for president for all of eternity:

The 30-second clip reportedly created by a pro-Trump meme maker was based on a Time magazine article from 2018 that made the case for why “Trumpism will outlast Trump.”

It ended with Trump stood behind a podium bearing the sign “Trump 4Eva.”

Time tweeted its original version to the president in response:

Trump’s decision to post the clip amid escalating U.S. tensions with Iran and a new historic allegation of rape, which the president has denied, did not go over well with many other tweeters:

4 states join effort to stop T-Mobile’s acquisition of Sprint

Four more states joined an effort by state attorneys general, including NY’s Letitia James, to stop T-Mobile‘s acquisition of Sprint, it emerged Friday.

Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Nevada will be included in an amended complaint being filed Friday, Beau Buffier, chief of the antitrust bureau in James’ office, told a Manhattan federal judge.

Lawyers for the states and the companies also proposed Oct. 7 for the start of a trial, which could last two to three weeks.

In an effort to expedite the trial, T-Mobile cut a deal with the AGs behind closed doors, agreeing not to close the merger, even if it gets regulatory approvals, until after the October trial, a person with knowledge of the talks said.

The attorneys general, in turn, agreed not to seek a court-ordered temporary restraining order blocking the deal.

The suing states also agreed to ask for an expedited October trial date instead of their previous goal of a trial in December, the source said.

Bill Gates and Big Oil back this company that's trying to solve climate change by sucking CO2 out of the air

In Squamish, British Columbia, there's a company that wants to stop climate change by sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

It's called Carbon Engineering, and it uses a combination of giant fans and complex chemical processes to remove carbon dioxide from the air in a procedure known as Direct Air Capture.

Direct Air Capture isn't new, but Carbon Engineering says its technology has advanced enough for it to finally make financial sense.

The company is backed by Bill Gates — but also by the oil giants Chevron, BHP, and Occidental. These partnerships will bring Carbon Engineering's tech to market by using the captured carbon to make synthetic fuels and and help extract more oil from the ground.

Will Carbon Engineering's technology decrease the amount of CO2 in the air, or is it going to prolong our dependence on fossil fuels? Watch the video to learn more.
