Furious world leaders are putting the screws into Donald Trump and twisting i...

World leaders want to show just how weak Donald Trump has made the United States in advance of this meeting with Xi Jinping.

We've heard from a prince in Saudi Arabia. We've heard from President Zelensky. We've heard from members of NATO who no longer want to even hold meetings with Donald Trump anymore and push future NATO meetings until the end of Donald Trump's term.

We've heard from other world leaders as well and we've heard from Netanyahu right now who's trying to pressure Donald Trump to invade Iran yet again and reopen hostilities before Donald Trump takes this trip to China.

I want to share with you what's going on right now in this dynamic to show how weak Donald Trump is before he arrives in China. Then of course there is the perspective of Beijing

Newtoring Donald Trump before he arrives there at the end of this week. Of course we saw Wang Yi, the foreign minister of China, meet with the foreign minister of Iran, Iraq, she last week, and not only did the Chinese greet the Iranian foreign minister with a warm welcome, frankly they treated Iran like a conquering hero and China put out statements strongly condemning the United States and Israel for invading Iran and

China made it clear that it was supporting Iran and Iran was a close friend the statements from Iran where we appreciate China's support of all of our endeavors politically, socially,

economically and in matters of war and peace yet Donald Trump's going to be showing up in China looking so utterly weakened pathetic as Xi Jinping has been helping Iran. So why don't we start with Saudi Arabia?

We know previously Saudi Arabia would not let the United States use its airspace and airbase after Trump launch project freedom and then apparently Donald Trump's like all right, I'll try to hit carguerland once and then could we maybe use the airspace and the airbase again and at least the public narrative is that Iran will let Donald Trump use the airbase there in Iran, but what was just published this past weekend was an op-ed from Prince Turkey al-Faisal, who's the son of King Faisal, who ran the Saudi Arabian intelligence agency for over two decades.

Other than MBS, you don't get any more senior person than Prince Turkey al-Faisal and he wrote for Arab news an op-ed called this is how Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman succeeded and what it frames this issue as is that the United States and Israel have really been the enemy of Saudi Arabia, not Iran, sure Iran retaliated against Saudi Arabia, but what Prince Turkey al-Faisal says is that what Israel was trying to provoke was for Saudi Arabia to retaliate against Iran and then unleash hell in the entire Middle East, have the war spread so that there was now a war between Saudi Arabia and Iran where they would attack each other's desalination facilities and other

petroleum facilities and crude facilities and look for natural gas facilities, then drawing UAE against Saudi Arabia and then basically have this massive world war in the Middle East where Israel would try to stand back and let the Arab nations destroy themselves. And so what Prince Turkey al-Faisal says is, you know, yes, we know that Trump and Netanyahu invaded Iran and sure Iran then retaliated against its neighbors, which was expected Saudi Arabia being one, but we didn't respond to Iran because we knew if we did, then it would be mutually assured destruction in the region if we escalated, and that's when Netanyahu and Trump were trying to trigger the whole time.

A destruction of all of the Arab nations, and so the fact that you have Prince Turkey al-Faisal saying this publicly that the real enemy is the United States and Israel, I mean it cuts against all of these narratives that actually with the Abraham Accords and this and that Israel and Saudi Arabia will be working strongly together and that there's one big whom by a moment in the Middle East.

No, you have Saudi Arabia through their top official of an MBS calling out the United States and Israel for trying to destroy the Middle East.

And as Donald Trump tries to go to China and claim energy dominance and claim that he has all of these connections and all of these friends in the Middle East.

Saudi Arabia is very clear, I mean again, you have Prince Turkey al-Faisal, I...

South Korea in advance of Donald Trump's trip to China, they have announced that they will continue increasing its defense ties with European countries.

For example, South Korea and Estonia just signed a deal to export three of these very cutting-edge multiple launch rocket systems and the deal is part of an ongoing framework between South Korea trade investment, promotion agency and Estonia as Estonia and Center for Defense Investment and other Europe countries as well are involved in this. Where we see South Korea moving away from purchasing military equipment from the United States and you know it's reciprocal as well for example South Korea working with Canada on submarines that Canada might otherwise buy from the United States or elsewhere.

US military industrial complex being shunned by the rest of the world and again one of the levers that Donald Trump would try to pull when he meet Xi Jinping is the strength of the United States military.

Well, then you have the story that you know that that just broke today after Senator Mark Kelly further made it clear on the morning shows that the US has basically run out of all of its munitions.

Like for a one trillion dollar military budget we had last year the munitions situation in the US is far worse than anybody has even discussed so far and that's one of the things that Senator Mark Kelly you know a decorated. We're in says and also as China prepares to meet with the with Donald Trump one of the things they know is that they control the rare earths they control the rare earth metals so Donald Trump remember tried to tariff the world he tried to impose 140% tariffs on China and he tried to impose as well then China said okay we're going to not give you the rare earths to stock market crashed Donald Trump tapped out China won the trade war against the US.

But these rare earths they are component parts in the munitions that Donald Trump expanded in his catastrophic war and Iran with Netanyahu.

So if we want to rebuild our munitions we're 100% entirely dependent on the rare earths from China so Xi Jinping knows that and Xi Jinping is also going to use that as leverage right now in order to extract concessions on Taiwan and Xi Jinping knows that Donald Trump is indifferent to Taiwan. Trump and Maga who claim to be China hawks and care about Taiwan. It was just all BS. It was just saying that in order to try to jinn up attacks on former president Biden and Democrats, but the Trump regime has demonstrated they don't care about Taiwan.

They don't care about any Asian security in Brella heck the Trump regime wouldn't allow the president of Taiwan to travel over United States airspace on his way to another trip and Trump didn't comment at all. One of the Taiwanese opposition parties who wants to have unification with China took a six day or seven day trip to China. And so Xi Jinping is going to talk about how the real sentiment in Taiwan is this kind of separatist will Taiwanese separatist movement unification depending on if you're looking at it from the perspective of China or Taiwan.

And so Xi Jinping is going to press on that. So we talked about Saudi Arabia, we talked about South Korea. We talked about NATO very quickly as well. NATO is mocking Donald Trump and saying that he's putting countries on their naughty list. And so Germany was on the naughty list. They go, all right. Now, Georgia, Maloney of Italy is on the naughty list.

Donald Trump thought that Maloney would be one of his right wing, Maga puppets. She is right wing, but she hasn't behaved always like a Donald Trump sycophant or puppet.

Rubio was there recently with Georgia Maloney when he went to make a fool of himself and front of the Pope remember the Pope gave Rubio a peace plant and Rubio gave the Pope a crystal football.

And from all that we've heard on the Midas Touch Network, this meeting between Rubio and Maloney was just an absolute disaster where they screamed at each other and Rubio tried to threaten Maloney that we're going to withdraw troops. Maloney stood her ground again as Europe has asserted itself. And so Italy's on the naughty list now. And so Italy expects that this week or next week the Trump regime's going to pull troops out of Italy as well. They did with Germany and NATO at this point, as I mentioned at the outset, is planning for a really a post US NATO, maybe they'll call it NATO Europe, NATO plus whatever, but they don't consider really the US as having really any majoral. They'll make public statements, but until Trump's out, they know that NATO really exist in name only, which then brings us to Zelensky.

I'm hitting all of these points of Trump having the screws put in him and loo...

You're not seeing any corporate news in the United States talk about any of them. Have you heard corporate news talk about any of these things? That's why, by the way, hit subscribe, help us get to 7 million subscribers. You may think you're subscribed, but you're may not actually subscribe on this video. So that brings us to Zelensky. So Donald Trump made that social media post on Friday saying that he brokered two or three days ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, between Zelensky and Putin. Putin was demanding the ceasefire and unilaterally declaring one the same way Trump, unilaterally declared ceasefire.

So that Putin can have his military parade, what they call victory day in Russia on Saturday on May 9th. By the way, the Russians didn't have any tanks or any of their other kind of weapons that they usually have because they were afraid of Ukrainian drones. Ukraine has now taken the study of war and all of these groups that analyze the Russia invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine's counter offensive has allowed Ukraine to take the initiative right now and Ukraine's going on the offense right now and Russia is being pushed back right now.

So Ukraine's actually winning. I mean, they were winning before in the sense that Russia said they were going to take over Ukraine in three days and then Russia was basically making very incremental gains and losing 35 to 40,000 soldiers every single month.

But now Ukraine's affirmatively actually on a one to one basis winning the war and now conquering territory and taking over land. I mean, it's own territory. Let me be very clear that was stolen from it.

But Ukraine is making major gains now going on offense because it has all this incredible technology.

These drone interceptors, the drone technology itself, the unmanned vessels which, by the way, Trump rejected. I don't want help from Zelensky. We don't want help from him. Why would we want that? We're working on our relationship with Russia. We're removing all of the sanctions from Russia. So anyway, Putin wanted this ceasefire. Trump tried to help Putin and get this ceasefire on so called victory day Putin pressed for it. He had Donald Trump basically calls Zelensky. Zelensky agreed under the condition and Trump said what would take place is that there would be a prisoner swap 1000 Russian prisoners for 1000 Ukrainian prisoners and that the ceasefire would relate only to red square.

So Zelensky posted that he was agreeing with the ceasefire provided there was a prisoner exchange 1000 Ukrainians for 1000 Russians.

And Zelensky said, okay, we won't attack red square with our drones, which is what Putin was absolutely terrified of. But the thing is now Russia is refusing to return the prisoners and actually do the deal that Trump claims he got.

So Zelensky's calling Donald Trump out as a terrible deal maker. Here's what Zelensky posted.

Our contacts with the American side regarding guarantees for the implementation of the arrangements reached recently and announced by the president of the United States are ongoing. The prisoner exchange 1000 for 1000 is being prepared and must take place. The Americans assumed responsibility for these guarantees. Ukraine's coordination headquarters has handed over the list for 1000 prisoners of war to the Russian side. There was an American mediation in reaching this arrangement on the exchange. And accordingly, we expect the American side to play an active role in ensuring it's fulfilled as our editor in chief Ron full of Kowski rights. I'm reading between the lines here that there may be some issues with Trump's big announcement on this in other words.

Donald Trump again showing how weak he is. He said he did this deal and Russia was going to give 1000 prisoners for 1000 prisoners.

Now Putin's not following it and you see how weak Donald Trump is looking heading to this trip to Iran. So how is Donald Trump trying to project as Donald Trump's trip to China?

So how is Donald Trump trying to project strength right now? Well, he has his senior officials leaking to the press about who Donald Trump's going to press Xi Jinping on this. No, he's not. Donald Trump's pathetic. He ain't pressing Xi Jinping. Donald Trump's going to go into the room and go to Xi. It looks so beautiful. Xi. We do the photo with with the Chinese soldiers standing at it to Xi. They say you're the King Xi. So beautiful. So beautiful. He's so powerful. And what do you think the guy's going to say? The guy can barely put forward sentences. He's going to have to make up all over his hands and his neck.

I mean, what do we think the guy is going to do? We the guy can't speak in sentences. But this is what Bloomberg reported. Trump is expected to confront Xi Jinping this week over China support for Iran, including oil purchases and possible weapons exports, according to senior U.S. officials. The two leaders will meet Thursday and Friday in Beijing and the intentions over trade. Taiwan Artificial Intelligence and the U.S. Israeli conflict with Iran. I would expect the president to apply pressure on China over Iran when he goes to Beijing, a U.S. official told reporters and everything.

Trump will not be easy.

So that brings me by the way to Netanyahu's propaganda interview with state regime media in the U.S., which calls itself CBS, which used to be a very, you know, strong and powerful news network, which is now state regime under Barry Weiss in the whole new regime, they have there. They brought Netanyahu on to do a propaganda piece, but it just looked utterly horrible. So his Donald Trump is heading to China, right? What is Netanyahu on war? You want some more war and Saudi Arabia knew exactly what Netanyahu was trying to do by bringing the whole region into a war.

And then for Netanyahu, more war, he believes immense his power means that he can keep asking for extensions on his criminal case. He's a Trump, you know, he's a Trump and allows him to continue the genocide there in Gaza and Lebanon.

So here's what Netanyahu is saying before Donald Trump's trip to China. I mean, just think about how he's also weakening Donald Trump before the China trip. Netanyahu claims China supported parts of Iran's missile manufacturing program and says Beijing should reconsider.

He says that social media is responsible for declining support for Israel among young Americans claiming foreign countries used bot farms to undermine American sympathy for Israel.

He says people tell me, "Bibi your king," and I say, "I'm not a king. Kings don't have to be elected. I have to be elected. Can I have your vote?" He says the same stuff that Trump says, right? I mean, he's two genocidal maniacs, or they like the same person. How do you envision the highly enriched uranium will be removed from Iran? Netanyahu, you go and you take it out. President Trump has said to me, "I want to go in there." I mean, he said that publicly.

He said, "I think he's right. I think he's right." Then Netanyahu says Hitler didn't even say death to America, death to Britain. I think he might have planned it, but he didn't say it.

Are you like showing sympathy for Hitler? What are you talking about? By the way, if you go back in the past and look at past Netanyahu speeches like I've seen, if that's not enough Netanyahu has also absolved Hitler of his crimes to say Palestinians were the real orchestrators of the Holocaust. And he goes Hitler said, "He didn't say kill him. He said expel him. He said expel him. But it was the Palestinians who said come." What are we talking about here? Then he goes, "In Iran, they name streets after me. Do you know that?"

Well, after President Trump, too, obviously, because he's leading the fight. But they have this. I don't speak farcee, but they call me "Bibi-June. Beloved Bibi." That's what they say in Iran. We love Bibi. We love you, Bibi. Yeah, they're not saying that. What are you talking about? They're not saying that in Iran. I mean, these are some like-dimented individuals. While we were fighting the physical military battle on seven battlefields, seven front war, we were completely exposed on the eighth front, the media war, really social media war.

We have to find ways to fight the battle for the arts and minds of young Americans on social media. We have a problem I recognize. And we have to get in our act together. Can we just have peace, please? Can we just have peace, please?

So that's all going on before Donald Trump's trip to China. And again, you see how absolutely weak every world leaders treating him like, right?

On all different sides of it, whether you're Saudi Arabia, whether you're Netanyahu, whether you're Italy, or whether you are, or whether you're Iran, whether you're Beijing. I mean, they're treating the guy like the clown that he is, the whole world knows this guy. It's a clown. It's sad for America, man. It's sad to have such a freaking loser.
