Mike Tyson at Trump's side as the president thanks Putin for diesel
The Daily Record's White House clip moves from a Russian fuel deal to the Fort Hood firing squad in under five minutes.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 74,652 views a day, 23 times a normal first day on this channel (3,264).
Donald Trump thanks Putin for Russian diesel deal and approves of firing squad execution
"This is Iron Mike Tyson. I won't be fighting him today." That is how Donald Trump opened his walk to Marine One, with the former heavyweight champion beside him on the South Lawn and a campaign event in Syracuse, New York, ahead of them both.
The joke did not set the tone for long. A minute later Trump turned to fuel. "I want to thank President Putin to be honest with you," he told reporters, crediting the Russian leader with a deal to supply the United States with diesel before the midterms. The Daily Record's description frames it as a reversal of years of American pressure on Moscow. Asked about Volodymyr Zelenskyy's criticism of "a weak decision by strong partners," Trump answered: "Well, we are a strong partner."
The next question concerned Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009. His execution by firing squad is scheduled for December 3, and the Pentagon has said it plans to livestream it; the description notes it would be the first U.S. military execution since 1961. Trump said he supports it. Before boarding, he also touched on Houthi attacks on Riyadh's airport and Iran, which he called "in very bad shape."
For Scotland's newspaper, whose same-day uploads included a Rangers win over Kilmarnock and a Nelson Mandela statue unveiled in Glasgow, Washington supplied the biggest draw. The clip passed 49,000 views in 11 hours, and the comments arrived in the hundreds, where a regular upload usually collects a handful all day. Many of them circle back to the same question: what was Tyson doing there?
