A person who claims to be a professor in his X bio has a picture that's important for all of us to see. It's a photo that shows what America has become. The poster's heart breaks for the young pilot of Marine One, whom President Trump is yelling at. He doesn't deserve that.
This picture is a very important picture to look at. It’s what America has become. Screaming powerful dudes treating others as if they are their servant property. My heart is breaking for this young Marine One pilot. He doesn’t deserve this shit from trump. pic.twitter.com/blahueIAuH

We checked the rest of Common Sense's timeline to make sure this wasn't a parody, but he checks out as a fully committed progressive.
There's a proposed Community Note to go with the post:
Helicopters are loud. Speaking at normal volumes is not possible with the doors open and engines running.
This is not ouch, I’m hurting! This is trump screaming at the young pilot. This is the second time that we know of, that he’s done this to this young pilot. Please don’t minimize this.

Source? The Mirror. Senior US reporter Charlie Jones reports:
The picture was taken as the US president, whose marriage to Melania Trump is at its lowest point due to a 'disturbing truth', disembarked Marine One at John F. Kennedy International Airport on September 22, 2026, after attending the annual session of the United Nations General Assembly.
It came the day before Trump welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, in a particularly unusual way. The greeting, where Trump met his Chinese counterpart on the runway, was the first time a US president had welcomed a foreign leader in person at the base since 1962. It comes just days after a lip reader spotted Trump's furious 5 words as he went into a meltdown at another pilot.

Sounds legit.
Read the comments here. When they say 51% of Americans have comprehension of 6 grad level, because of poor education, the proof is right here in these insulting comments.

Trump has done this before, screaming at the Marine One pilot.

And who runs public education in America?
I've taken hundreds of helicopter flights

1. Helicopters are loud, and the door was open
2. The pilot has his 🎧 on, which would make it hard for him to hear
3. Don't draw conclusions without understanding the situation
My man, your entire account is obsessed with this man. Relax. He doesn’t even know who you are. Go outside. Meet up with friends. Good lord.

You are making such a profoundly ridiculous inference based on images you can’t possibly fully understand. I can’t fucking stand the man, but this is ridiculous.

Why did you blatantly leave out the part where he gives a thumbs up? What agenda are you trying to push here?

Tell me you have never been in a helicopter running with the door open without telling me you have never been in a helicopter running with the door open. 🙄😂

People with common sense would probably realize helicopters are loud and you have to shout to be heard.
— John (@thesnck) September 24, 2026
The original poster did the "Wow, so many triggered people" meme.
Do you know how loud a helicopter is? You ever loaded one while on the scene of a car accident while the rotor wash is bearing down on you? I have many times and you can’t hear sht. Plus they have their headsets on clearly in the picture.. you pieces of sht are pathetic..

This may be the dumbest post of the day. A post showing a still of a guy who looks to be yelling inside of a loud helicopter and attempting to paint the “yeller” as a wild man berating a young pilot is foolish and irresponsible. Anyone who believes this is a moron.
— Scott Merrill (@Scottmerrill) September 24, 2026
Only a moron who doesn’t understand the noise challenges associated with a helicopter…until you get your noise-canceling headphones and microphone on. This tweet is perfect evidence of a political hack with TDS. Look at this guy’s feed. Mental illness is alive and well. pic.twitter.com/9KZK2fh6hA

Trump: “Thanks, pal! Great landing”!
— ānaru (@ZooNealand) September 24, 2026
This guy: REEEEEEEEEEE
You’re a lunatic, he only praises service people, probably thanking him for getting him home safely. You’re letting TDS ruin your life, it certainly makes you look foolish and ignorant
— Wes Taylor (@WesTaylorjwta) September 25, 2026
You can see he’s talking to the pilots. The pilot’s head is turned toward him. He typically thanks them and the crew, and you have to scream it on a helo. You lefties are really something. Why do you all make everything up if reality were actually as you claim?
— Xtrozero (@ScottHa14628434) September 24, 2026
You've never been in a helicopter just before takeoff, have you. News flash - they're LOUD. The pilot has his ears on, President Trump does not. You literally have to yell to be heard. Moron.
— TheLastStrawTN (@AE_Horn) September 25, 2026
It’s not an electric helicopter so these things run pretty loud
— Old Man Mike (@o1dmanmike) September 26, 2026
Holy shit. Do you have any idea how loud it is in a helicopter? Have you ever been in one. Have tried to have a conversation without internal radio communication?
— SFC dean bruce (Ret) (@vetdb78) September 24, 2026
Seriously ? Like I’m not MAGA or a Trumper or anything but how do you know he was yelling at the pilot? You know how loud helicopters are? You usually have to scream if you don’t have your headphones on to communicate. Do you know what Trump was saying to the pilot?
— DBChase007 (@DChase007) September 24, 2026
The professional lip-reader's translation hasn't come in yet.
That is your interpretation of the picture. That did not happen. Trump was greeting the pilots. Have you ever tried to talk over a helicopter engine, Commie Dumbass? The pilots cannot hear a normal voice level so you have to yell
— Howard Hickman (@howard_hic24151) September 24, 2026
I heard he tried whispering first, but something about the rotor noise rendering regular speech inaudible.
— Some Guy (@randy_marsh97) September 25, 2026
No conclusions can be drawn from this still. Marine One is extremely noisy on the ground with the door open, so Trump could be shouting to be heard.
— Cynical Optimist (@H6692016) September 25, 2026
As for the September 7 incident, the lip reader reported Trump saying “That’s enough for me today.” Then “We’re done.” Big deal.
Pilot here.
— Jay Mirelli (@JayMirelli) September 25, 2026
From my time in a S92, I can confirm it’s extremely loud.
Anyone would have to scream to communicate with the door open and no headset on. pic.twitter.com/rzZWS72r13
You have no idea how stupid this post is. If you’re seriously this ignorant you need to check into a care facility.

He's just reposting what he read in The Mirror, and he's a big softie. His heart breaks for that poor pilot.
