Donald Trump has been having this psychotic meltdown all morning.

He began at 3 a.m. with posts like this, what will happen next question mark?

What is this some sort of game, some sick game?

What will happen next? That's what you're posting right now. All the United States is at war and people are psychologically tortured here. Then Donald Trump posts the following, Mark Kelly, Senator from Arizona, needs to be held accountable, lock him up exclamation points.

So also calling for a United States Senator to be arrested at like 3 a.m. in the morning. Then around 6 a.m. in the morning, Donald Trump calls up the New York post. And he says I have really good news regarding US Iran talks. And the good news could come as soon as Friday, it's possible. There's going to be talks, it's possible that we can make a deal.

I mean, you're really doing this again, the ceasefire deadline was yesterday. You extended the ceasefire indefinitely when Iran refused to even negotiate with your team in Islamabad Pakistan because you lie about everything and CNN and multiple outlets say that the biggest barrier to getting a deal done is you, not just your naval blockade, it's your social media posts that keep online about Iran's negotiating position, which makes

it impossible to have any rational discussions with you. Like an irrational lunatic in the oval office, and then this morning again right around 6 a.m.

Donald Trump posts the following, how can Democrats not like how the US Supreme Court votes?

The Democrat justices stick together, even that new low IQ person that somehow found her way onto the bench referring to Supreme Court justice, Katanji Brown Jackson as that low IQ

person. Again, as I've always pointed out, that's Donald Trump's insult against black people.

He calls all black people, low IQ people, and he insults them. You are, I mean, it's just despicable content and this is the filth that he's posting. I'm about to go and teach a law school class at USC in the next hour after I finish this video. How do I look my law students in the eyes? How do I look them in the eyes and say, this is the person leading the country right now? Someone who's whining and calling a distinguished

Supreme Court justice, a low IQ person, even if she wasn't a Supreme Court justice, who uses such petty racist insults? Is the person in the White House? That should stick in you regardless of what politic. If you're a decent human being, that should just make

you sick and angry, and we could just never normalize that behavior. He goes on to rail against

how he thinks he's going to lose the birthright citizenship case and he moment now and how bad it's going to be when birthright citizenship, which is in the Constitution remains, he attacks the United States Supreme Court for overturning his unlawful tariffs against the world. He's like, now I have to refund $159 billion that's so unfair. Look, no wonder Donald Trump has the worst approval of any president in the United States history period. He has a lower approval than Richard

Nixon at the time Nixon resigned. The latest AP North Pole has Donald Trump's overall approval at 33 percent. His approval on handling the economy has 10 to 30 percent. I expect both of those numbers to be in the 20s soon, which is truly unprecedented territory. And frankly, it's resignation territory. If we had a robust media infrastructure here in the United States and if the media acted the way I think the mightest touch network is and how we even inspired other independent

media to the pressure should be so overwhelming that Donald Trump and this entire despicable regime should resign. Every single day, the front page story and what should be leading local and national news is how deeply unpopular Trump is and all media should be doing what the mightest touch network is and calling Donald Trump to resign. Not being hyperbolic, the guy should absolutely resign. He's detested. He's hated. He's engaged in impeachable offenses 50 times a day in my opinion,

criminal conduct 50 times a day. I'm giving you my opinion of what happens on a day today,

protected by the first amendment my opinion speech. You could form your opinion, but that's why

I'll tell you this guy needs to resign and it shouldn't be overwhelming. I mean, it's it's like we know that people hate this guy, but if you watch corporate news, you wouldn't get the feeling that it's that bad when it actually is that bad. And by the way, you all know about the result

That happened in Virginia, where the Virginia yes referendum one, which now w...

We'll amend the constitution and we'll create a congressional map 10 to one in favor of Democrats in terms of the Virginia congressional delegation. So there's one of the reasons why Donald Trump is having a meltdown this morning. So while Donald Trump's out there saying talks are going

great with the wrong, they're going amazing. What is Iran posting? What are they doing, right?

Well, this is objective news. Let's figure out what they're saying. Okay. So we learn first thing this

morning while Donald Trump was making that post that the Iranian Navy says that there are two violating vessels, which are currently in the territorial waters of the Islamic public Republic of Iran, which Iran's Navy has entered these vessels and they have captured these vessels. It's been independently confirmed that Iranian Navy have attacked a pair of container ships from these two ships right here. A Panama flag cargo ship euphoria owned by a UAE based company

and Liberian flag cargo ship epimonimus. They tried to go through the straightive removes without the Iran's Navy's permission and the Iranian Navy boarded them and interdicted those ships.

But Donald, I thought you said Iran has no Navy. They were able to interdict those two ships pretty

pretty easily. So what happened Donald? I thought the Navy's totally obliterated. And so that's what Iran's doing. Also, Iran's state media Tasning made a post this morning about the major undersea internet cables in the straightive Hormuz. They write the concentration of a large number of internet cables in a narrow passage in the straightive Hormuz has made the straightive Hormuz a vulnerable point for the region's digital economy. And so you know how all of those internet

cables, a lot of them are under the sea bed under the water, right? And so what Iran's saying here

is keep it up, snip snip. We can cut those cables basically and shut out the internet, not just

for the Middle East, but for major portions of the entire world. This was a post that Iranian state media made as they're exerting their leverage while Trump is whining and having his meltdown. The straightive Hormuz, a vital highway for internet cables in the Persian Gulf countries. The straightive Hormuz is not just a vital route route for transporting oil and gas. This narrow

waterway is also one of the most important internet bottlenecks in the region and the world.

According to submarine network data, at least seven major communication cables in the Persian Gulf countries passed through this route. While more than 97% of the world's internet traffic is transported through the same fiber optic cables on the sea bed. Cables such as the Falcon AAE1, the TGN Gulf and the CMEWE connect a significant part of the region's digital connectivity to major data centers in the Middle East, Europe and Asia. These infrastructures are the backbone of data

transmission, e-commerce, cloud services, and online communications in Gulf countries. The concentration of a large number of internet cables in a narrow passage has made the straightive Hormuz a vulnerable point for the region's digital economy where cables connect to coastal landing nodes and large data centers in the region after the straight. You understand what Iran's saying? Keep it up Donald. Keep up this behavior. And if you decide to go to war with us again, if you invade us again,

not only will you attack our Arab nation neighbors, we're going to go into the sea bed and we're going to cut those cables and we're going to shut down the internet for the world. One of the things that Iran is also boasting about and this has now been confirmed independently by the financial times. At least 34 tankers with links to Iran have bypassed the US blockade. The so-called blockade since it began according to the cargo tracking group for texa, including several carrying

Iranian oil, despite Trump declaring the barricade, a tremendous success. I mean, the guy lies about everything. Now, I'll share with you what the Iranian social media accounts are posting this

morning as they are mocking Donald Trump for ceasefire extensions. Here's what they just posted

on the Iranian social media accounts, let's play it. We are having very great negotiations with Iran. If Iran doesn't come to negotiate, we're going to bomb them 2,000 years later. All right, then I will extend the ceasefire at Pakistan's request.

So they're not just mocking him in Iran.

CNN is reporting how Chinese social media is openly mocking Donald Trump in the Iran war.

They're saying the biggest winner is not US or Iran's China. Trump is not welcome in Beijing without credibility. What are you coming for? Chinese influencers are saying the petro dollar is ending and Iran is now considering selling its oil only in Yuan. The Chinese currency and they're just

mocking Donald Trump. They're saying thanks Donald. Why would we even want you here in China?

You have no credibility. And in China, the idea of saving face, keeping your word, speaking, deliberately are very important things. It should be everywhere. But it's also a culture that exalts this idea and concept to face saving and all of these things. They're like, why would we have

this loser here? Here, play this clip. Will Ripley is out front tonight from Taipei.

China's sensors not stopping new AI videos like these, mocking President Donald Trump in the Iran war. On Chinese social media, the message is clear. Trump is not welcome to visit and even if he comes, it's meaningless. No need to come without credibility. What are you coming for? That word keeps coming up. Credibility, especially when it comes to ceasefire messaging.

The entire White House's credit score combined wouldn't be enough to even unlock a single shared

bike. Every day, Trump wakes up and reformates himself into a new Trump. Whatever version he is that day is the one that counts. This whole thing, it was, is really about no nuclear. They cannot have a nuclear weapon. In China, political speeches tightly controlled. But criticism of Trump seems to be spreading freely. How does that change the dynamic of this meeting with President Xi? I don't think it does. I mean, he's somebody that needs oil. We don't.

China is Iran's biggest oil customer, Beijing also dominates green energy, and claims to be

cutting oil demand by more than a million barrels a day. Don't fear that. He said,

"Well, others are still bashing their heads in over oil. We've already gotten ahead."

The next era, he says. Solar, wind, batteries, and electric vehicles.

Chinese carmaker BYD now overtaking Tesla in global sales. At the same time, pressure on the U.S. dollar, the backbone of global oil trading. This Iranian embassy post says, "It's time to add Petro Yuan to the market." At one point Iran considered allowing tankers through the straight-of-war moves. Only if oil is sold in Chinese Yuan, a senior Iranian official set. Some Chinese influencers say Petro dollar is ending. Beijing's not fighting this war,

but on China's social media, many are already declaring victory. And right when we started talking about censorship inside China, Iran, the signal inside China went to bars in tone. While the U.S. has focused on the war, China's focused on what comes after, across energy currency, supply chains, and diplomacy. China really is trying to position itself right now to win. Not by confronting the United States directly,

but by presenting itself as the more stable alternative, Iran. Yeah, raising, just watching all those videos. All right, well, Ripley, thank you very much. As I said, in Taipei, and Taiwan tonight. And then, of course, you have the Trump regime in disarray at home. The Daily Mail reports how a top-level Trump counterterrorism official is now under investigation in mid-claims. She actively looks for sugar daddies to maintain

her exorbitant lifestyle. Ronci text revealed that sugar daddy's sex scandal explodes inside Trump's counterterrorism headquarters. So the Department of Labor, they were going on their vacations and strip clubs, and and and booze, fuel, taxpayer funded trips, and all of that. And allegedly, and the Labor Secretary resigned, and her husband was accused of sexual misconduct inside the Department of Labor Building. I mean, you, I can go on. I mean, you are of K Junior,

chopping off raccoon penises, and sleeping with it. We've got top counterterrorism officials doing sugar daddy things, whatever. I mean, what the hell is going on? What are Republicans on the hell doing? Here are some bills that they've been introducing lately. Carved Donald Trump's face into Mount Rushmore. Rename the Palm Beach Airport after Trump. Rename dollars airport after Trump. Require State Department to award a Trump peace prize to Claire Trump's

Birthday of federal holiday.

and US currency with Trump's image. Several resolutions urging Trump to be given the Nobel Peace

Prize, directing the NIH to conduct research on Trump derangement syndrome. Then finally, I'll

share with you this brief clip right here. This is a congressional testimony this morning.

Howard Lutnik being cross-examine by Democratic Senator Shaheen on how America's attacks on Canada

are causing Canada to launch a successful boycott against the United States. Let's play it.

Canada's economy leans on 30, the incredible 30 trillion dollar economy of America.

But there's no doubt about that, Mr. Secretary. But insulting our closest ally and neighbor who provides a lot of business. We have a lot of businesses in New Hampshire, small businesses who work on both sides of the border. We have all those Canadian visitors who are not coming

because of your comments and comments by the administration. How does that help our economy?

It is outrageous that Canada will not put U.S. spirits on the shelf. It is insulting. It is. And this was respectful to America that they want to eat. Absolutely. And my husband has an interest in a company that has American spirits. And they won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours. I want to go on to another question.

But can I have just one small comment which is "dairy" is treated so badly in your state cares about dairy. And we are trying desperately to get them to live to the deal that they have on U.S. M.CA. And there you have it, everybody. Thanks for watching.
