Trump Blindsided as Top Iran Negotiator Resigns

dire warnings about Donald Trump's handling of this catastrophic and unlawful war in

“Iran, Donald Trump, during a bizarre and deranged speech in Nassau County, New York, said”

that the United States not only controls the Strait of Hormuz, but we intend to make it a territory of the United States that led to a senior White House official saying we have no clue what the hell he's talking about. Donald Trump has not met with his advisors about declaring the Strait of Hormuz, a U.S. territory. They don't know what the hell Donald Trump is even saying anymore. At the same time, one of Donald Trump's top national security advisors has announced

that he will be resigning. The rats are fleeing the sinking ship, and we've been talking about

all of these leaks from generals and admirals from the CIA, from national security advisors,

from people within the national security apparatus. And now we're seeing in this week alone,

“not only Caroline Levitt resigning, by the way, after Donald Trump was discovered to have gone”

on a military plane with Natalie Harp after hiding in a cafeteria catering truck and leaving Caroline Levitt on old Air Force One. She left, and now you have a top national security advisor leaving as well, not just anyone, someone who was involved as one of the lead U.S. negotiators with Iran. That's right, a top White House security advisor, national security advisors, quitting his role as negotiations are made being made up by Donald Trump, and no

his own negotiations taking place. The guy's name is Andy Baker. He served as national security

advisor to Vice President J.D. Vance, and he served as a deputy national security advisor at the White House. Bye-bye. He is gone as well, and as the Daily Beast puts it, Donald Trump

“lost his second top aid in a week. And the leaks are coming fast and furious from the Trump”

regime right now. One of the things that Donald Trump announced at the end of last week that he intends to do, which there was immediate backlash, not just among our top admirals and generals and military officials, but even the military industrial complex and private defense firms are calling Donald Trump out for waste, fraud, and abuse. So as our service members are suffering aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, the George W. Bush, they're not being provided with the bear

basic nutrition and necessities to even live. And this has been called out, and that's now caused the Trump regime to bring in the USS George Washington from the Pacific, which is the only aircraft carrier in the Pacific right now, leaving our allies in that region very vulnerable. It's a good thing, by the way, that we are bringing home the USS Abraham Lincoln, just this Trump regime doesn't plan anything at all, but we're having all these issues with super carriers.

So what does Donald Trump announce? As we know, the Trump regime is torturing our service members, bringing back steam catapults on carriers, multiple generals, admirals, military officials, people who are familiar with this stuff for saying this is a huge risk. So Donald Trump, just because he's an idiot, has long railed against electromagnetic catapults and elevators. And this was something that he just didn't like. So now he's issued an executive order,

demanding that billions of dollars worth of equipment that's already been installed. And these electromagnetic catapults above the carriers, which is the kind of launching mechanism for our aircraft aboard these super carriers, Donald Trump wants to go to steam catapults. He says he's like steam catapults. He likes the way battleships look. He likes catapults and our generals and admirals are calling this out and saying this guy is reckless and dangerous.

So Donald Trump has given the U.S. Navy in Pentagon 60 days to draw up a plan for installing steam powered catapults and hydraulic elevators on the future Ford class aircraft carrier, USS Doris Similler, and Trump has talked about ordering the Navy to abandon electromagnetic aircraft launch systems emails. Catapults and advanced weapon elevators that are currently at the core of the Ford class design because Trump just doesn't like it.

He just says I don't like it. It does. It's not something that I like at all and he issued this order and says it's got to be done in 60 days. So general atomic, the company that builds

said the decision to revert to steam Warren's careful reconsideration. The company was

“awarded a contract to build the catapults and arresting gear for the Doris Miller in 2023.”

Its work is nearly 50% complete and changing course now would introduce significant costs, schedule and integration risks the company said in a statement. Navy officials have fought for years to keep the current system they like the current system. This will cost taxpayers, billions of dollars and they're out there telling the Wall Street Journal and others that this is reckless and dangerous and it will have broader implications for the readiness of our carriers.

So why is Donald Trump announcing this now? Well, because Donald Trump wants to make us angry. He doesn't care about anything. He doesn't care about the people. He thinks our service members are suckers and losers and so while we're all bringing attention and rightfully so to the horrific treatment of our sellers and our Marines above these aboard these U.S. carriers. This is

“what he's focused on. I will remind you that back in, I think it was 2019, April 2nd 2019.”

This was what Donald Trump said at the time about his love of steam. This is what he said about steam. Here play this clip. The great aircraft carrier, the Gerald Ford, I go to see it. And the catapult system, you know, the catapult. That's where it throws the planes off.

So the aircraft carrier is a slight problem. It was supposed to cost $3 billion. It ended up

costing about $16 billion right now. It wasn't on my watch, but it's getting close. The president Gerald Ford, big, the largest ship ever built, they say. It's a massive ship. So I get on there, but they're having trouble with the catapult system because it used to be steam. You've seen it with the planes go off. Steam, old fashion, right? Old fashion. So they've decided to go magnetic. You haven't been done before. And electronic. So it's very, very complex. They have these brilliant

guys from MIT, where my uncle was a professor, by the way, for 40 years, brilliant guy, Dr. John Trump. A lot of people find it hard to believe that I had a professor, one of the smartest people of the history of MIT in my blood. You'd be surprised. A lot of things are surprising in life.

“But you have to go to MIT to figure out how to stamp things works. I get to the boat.”

How's it going? Well, it's okay, sir, but we have a little problem with the catapult system. You know, that's not like so good. We have an aircraft carrier. You can't send planes off the damn thing. Historically, that has not proven to be a good thing for aircraft. So, so I said, let me see, I didn't want to see the admirals. You get tired of the admirals because this was a problem. I said, let me see the catapult people. They should sure. You don't really want to do that.

We also learn through a Bloomberg report and this leaked out from top military officials and

NATO allies for public alignment with Trump's policies as part of a review of U.S. troop deployments

“in Europe, a document seen by Bloomberg, which received this from top military officials,”

included questions on whether allies have publicly supported U.S.-US foreign policy, restricted U.S. military base access, purchased from U.S.-Defense firms, and supported made in Europe initiatives. So if you supported and made in Europe initiative, if you limited the U.S.-Bases for committing war crimes, this is all part of Donald Trump's threats to say, "We will not be helping out our allies," and this is part of Trump's attack on NATO.

U.S.-Ask allies have you been publicly supportive of the U.S. foreign policy, including in the

Middle East. It is an ideological test that Donald Trump wants to determine loyalty to Donald Trump reminding you. Donald Trump, when he was speaking in Nassau County on Friday, said that we will declare the Hormuz territory of the United States. What the heck is he even talking about here? Let's play it. We're bringing the prices way down. Look at what's happening. Coming way down. And after we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated.

Pretty soon, I'll be declaring the Hormuz state a territory of the United States.

“Essentially, that's why we have the blockade. Now, as I noted as well,”

the national security adviser was a deputy national security adviser he was J.D. Vance's top advisor as well previously. Now, this video surfacing of J.D. Vance from the past seven to ten days or so, where he gave a speech, where he talked about how he wants to end the U.S. dollars position as a global reserve currency, because he thinks it allows Americans to consume too much and to do so too cheaply. He doesn't like the dollar being the

world's reserve currency, because he says it builds a dependency of American people. I don't know. Vance's entire political viewpoint is promoting America's decline as Tyler Boulevard puts it. A weekend United States on the world stage, a week US dollar, men working in factories, or the hand-assemble things the US government pays for.

It's managed to climb as far as the eye can see. Here's what he had to say. Let's play this clip right here.

That's yeah, that's exactly right. And by the way, you know, I'm a- this is like maybe super

“heterodox. I am not sure that I think the reserve currency is actually good for the United States of”

America. I think there is a good argument that reserve currency status is akin to coal in Appalachia. It's a resource curse, right? It allows your consumers to consume very cheaply. Right. That's been the story of the American economy within the last 15 or so years. Even before that is we can just borrow basically an unlimited way because we have the reserve currency and as people like Andy Baker and Caroline Levitt and others are resigning and the rats are fleeing the sinking ship.

You had Donald Trump at that deranged speech claiming that Iran has no leadership. Their leadership is gone, which is just not true. Their leadership is there. I mean, Iran has a parliament. We know who their leader is. We have a foreign ministry, by the way, our Iran Qi has been speaking with Pakistan and China and Germany and Italy. I mean, I spoke this past week to a professor at Tehran University. They're on summer break. It's a country. I don't know this view that Donald Trump

spreads of Iran as like people like dwelling in caves and that like they're begging and they're suffering. They're suffering. I guess in the sense that the U.S. has engaged in these war crimes. It's ridiculous. I mean, it's Tehran's metropolitan city. It's just the level of ignorance of this regime and malicious ignorance about Iranists. It's strange here, but this is what he had to say. Play this clip. It's totally gone. 159 ships at a total of 159 ships.

some bought from the United States brilliantly through Obama. Brock has stayed Obama. Have you heard of him? Brock has stayed Obama. And every one of their airplanes is shut down. It's gone.

They have no leadership. Their leadership is gone. Their first two years gone. Their second

tour is gone. Their third tour is half gone. That's one of my promises. Nobody to negotiate with.

“It is a problem. I said, "You should, this guy's okay. It's the only country in the world.”

Nobody wants to be president." And then he kept on saying, "We're winning. We're winning with the Islamic Republic. Everybody, we're beating them. Here, play this clip." We want to invent his whale, which is now working with nobody's ever seen it. We're taking millions and millions of barrels of oil out every single week. And we're likewise winning big with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Nobody has any idea how successful we are. They don't want to write it. But they know.

You know who knows how well we're doing, Iran. Think of it. They have...

“Oh, meanwhile, you have lots of top military officials now also warning. All right. You just”

moved a supercarrier from the Pacific. Our only supercarrier in the Pacific. And now you imagine your China, you're just watching this. Like your China, you've now strengthened your hand across the world, like massively. Bricks block is on the rise right now. They watch Donald Trump run out of weapons with a trillion dollar budget ran out of interceptors, ran out of attackers, ran out of the Navy destroyer antivalistics, had to abandon the military bases. You know,

Xi Jinping, Xi Jinping just like sitting there. And now he watches as the U.S. aircraft carrier in the Pacific, the George Washington leaves. Because Donald Trump also can't manage basic logistical supply lines. And our service members aboard the Abraham Lincoln are suffering. And by the way, it's not unique to the Abraham Lincoln. A Jason to the Abraham Lincoln is the USS George H.W. Bush. And they're suffering aboard the USS George H.W. Bush as well.

And while all of that's going on, you have in Iran, this was on Iranian TV. You know, as Donald Trump's like, they are begging for a deal. They're begging for a deal. This is on Iranian TV. They were showcasing an IRGC underground exhibition displaying the downed aircraft from the

2026 war, including a U.S. F. 15A several M.Q.9 repersed by the way, Iran destroyed about 30 percent

of the U.S. M. Canine Reaper drones. And an intact Israeli hermaze 900 drone. Tehran shows their air defense achievements from a Donald Trump's like the air defense or wrongs air defense system is obliterated. I mean, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, look at this museum. They got a whole museum of American weapons, an American aircraft that they shot down. Look at this. Look at the exhibit. I'll show you just 10 seconds of the B roll of the exhibit.

The U.S. F. 15E, a hundred and seventy-one aircraft of drones. They got the F. 15E parts, as well,

“like I go over there. And that's, that's what you got going down. What a, what a mess this, what a mess”

this Trump regime is anyway. Thanks for watching. Hit subscribe. Let's get to seven million. Thanks.
