Trump Melts Down as His Presidency Hits Turbulence

Here's what he was posting around midnight.

“It's our oil tanker now, and it's some weird AI meme of him being a pirate taking over an Iranian cargo ship.”

He posts again. It's our oil tanker now, and it's some racist AI meme of throwing Iranian people in some white garb overboard.

As Donald Trump takes over an Iranian tanker, Donald Trump then posts a weird AI meme of general patent general MacArthur.

And then the meme has Donald Trump stealing the valor of a four-star general, Donald Trump in the four-star general uniform, and then last night Iran was then mocking him by saying,

“Trump's propaganda, verse the reality, and the reality is Donald Trump hiding in a cafeteria container with Natalie Harp, and then the propaganda is the stupid stuff that Donald Trump posts.”

Also, the Iranian accounts are posting our gas prices here in the United States, so they took this billboard.

It's a real billboard out in Georgia. There are billboards like this popping up across the United States, and then the Iranian embassy say, "No, it's not Iran." This is Georgia in the United States, where it says, "Before Trump swore, $2.98 a gallon, and now in Georgia it's $4.56 a gallon."

“Well, in many places, it's over $5 a gallon, and it may be over $6 a gallon, where you live, but right now in the United States, gas prices are the highest they've ever been on average in August right now in the history of the United States.”

Then Donald Trump posts this bizarre AI meme, wall of steel, the blockade, and it's a weird AI graphic of US ships destroying Iranian vessels, and they don't even look like Iranian warships. They look like Iranian cargo ships, that's Donald Trump's fetish about being a pirate, although if you wanted to make this more realistic, I'd remove the Iranian ships. I'd remove the fake wall. I'd remove everything other than you can show the ships, but then the fact that our troops are starving, our sailors, our marines aboard, the super carriers, and these aren't the super carriers.

But aboard the super carriers, USS Abraham Lincoln, USS of Georgia, HW Bush, are literally starving. They're not getting the nutrition that they need, and Donald Trump yesterday was like, "Keep them out there longer! They need to be out there longer!" And then you had Pete Hegg said saying, "The sham reckless media!" Like attacking us, I'll do a video this morning. I want you to check back and watch it. More attacks against the Midas Touch Network by the Pentagon, by the Defense Department, by these despicable Trump regime officials.

I mean, with this loser's posting, too. I'm only going to show you a handful of this Donald Trump kept unposting AI images of himself walking through a golden ballroom with George Washington, and he keeps posting it. He's done he did like 20 posts, AI images of himself, and AI George Washington walking through the golden ballroom that has now been blocked by the DC Circuit Court of Appeal. You know, yesterday Donald Trump filed a emergency motion. I covered this to the United States Supreme Court. Emergency motion. Donald Trump said, "Oh, this is real." He goes, "Aron keeps trying to assassinate me, scotists, Supreme Court. I need your help. The ballroom will become my shield against the Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, and so please, please save me, please save me, Supreme Court."

I kid you not, that's actually in a Supreme Court filing that Donald Trump says the ballroom is his shield against the Iranian drones and ballistic missiles. We know sadly that the cancer has been spreading, and former president Biden Hunter has talked about that. But Donald Trump continues to post memes, mocking former president Biden. Biden isn't even a 100-handy cap. And then Donald Trump posts weird AI images drone port, because Trump's turning the White House into, he wants to turn it into a military facility. His whole post to the Supreme Court was also, the White House is now a military complex, and he argued to the Supreme Court that this is a treasonous lawsuit, and I want to turn the White House into a military complex.

Oh, and by the way, that's what Donald Trump posted. He said the lawsuit to block the ballroom. These are the treasonists. These are the treasonists that brought the suit against the military complex.

They were asked by the United States military not to bring the suit because of the top secret nature of the facility being built."

That never happened. Then Donald Trump sites his new director of national intelligence, Jay Clayton, saying, "The project referring to the ballroom is critical for ensuring the White House can serve as a secure location for the gathering of the president."

“I mean, what a snowflake. There's never been a former president who said we needed a ballroom as a shield against missiles. What are we talking about here?”

Dan Kane, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs Donald Trump sites him. It trumps posting this at like midnight last night. All of this. I declare there is a valid military requirement for a secure state-of-the-art facility that provides for the physical protection of the president and the command controlling communications capabilities. Necessary for the president to carry out his commander-in-chief responsibilities. You need a golden ballroom to do that. What are you talking about guys? What are you talking about? You need the golden ballroom to do that.

“The court said if you want to build some underground bunker which already exists, feel free to do it.”

The ballroom is a shield. What are you talking about? And then Marco Rubio, Trump repost Marco Rubio. In my work with the heads of state and foreign ministers, I am frequently hosted in reception facilities that are visually impressive and reflective of the wealth and beauty of the nation's I am visiting. In the United States by contrast, we currently lack the ability to hold large events of a similar magnitude. What are you talking about? We can throw events in the United States. Where are you living? I don't know. What are you talking about? What's your issue? And by the way, you saw Marco Rubio's wife just like continuously mock him on Katie Miller, Stephen Miller's wife show.

Donald Trump also posted graphics bragging that there has been 18 people dead in the, or he calls it, "Aron Military Conflict." It doesn't even call it a war when Hong Kong, the acting secretary of the Navy and others were saying, "Our war fighters above the USS Abraham Lincoln, they had a hang in there during this horrible war, during this war, and they stood there ground during this war," whatever.

He's calling it a military conflict, and he's bragging 18 dead as well. That's a good thing. We heard memes of himself and Rosie O'Donnell, and then here's what "Aron's posting" also.

“They said he can't even control his own bowels, yet he talks about controlling the straightive horror moves. Idiot. That's how they think about him here. Play this clip.”

He said that the USS Abraham Lincoln's deployment was not long enough, and he wants to see the sailors, the Marines, aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, stay on their longer, play this clip. That ship is moving right now, we're very sure, and it's being replaced with another very similar ship. No, no, no. Not dearly long enough. Thank you, everybody. And then Hanks said that all of the military families who are saying that their loved ones are living in these horrible conditions aboard the carriers,

that they are liars, and that they are telling false information to the media. Here's what he says, play this clip.

And so now we learned that the USS George Washington, as a result of the reporting, had tip to Aaron Parnas, affiliated with the Midas Touch Network, and military times and stars and stripes and emits now and others who have relentlessly reported on this. So now, fortunately, according to the Trump regime, although they lie about everything, they say the USS Abraham Lincoln is going to be returning back to the United States, which is a good thing. The George H.W. Bush has been out there for a long time, that's still going to be there.

That's super carry will still be there. And then now the United States is bringing in the USS George Washington, which is the only carrier in the Pacific, so we're abandoning our Pacific allies to now bring in the George Washington, because there's no other carrier that can go to the Middle East at this point. But what we also learned is that one of the ships that was close to the George Washington in the Pacific is the USS Benfold,

and it resulted in a complete loss of power, and here's how it's being reported in U.S. military news.

“The loss of power meant sailors were without galley services, toilets, and air conditioning.”

Potible water was also affected. He did not respond to a question about how the sailors handled their waste when the toilets and the plumbing didn't work, and there was no water. And one of the issues that we know about the George H.W. Bush, and that we know about the Abraham Lincoln, is that, and this also was the Gerald Ford, the plumbing's broken, and the Trump regime, they're not fixing it. There's like feces all over the floor, and there's plumbing issues in Sue, and it's all spilled everywhere, and it's really deeply problematic.

We also learned that Friday night, another ad nox ship was hit by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. That's the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. Two days ago, there were another two ad nox tankers hit. So there's about 20 ad nox tankers that have been hit recently by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz and another one on Friday night. Iran continues to control the Strait of Hormuz. That's undisputed. But if you ask Treasury Secretary Bessent, despite the American people suffering right now,

Bessent says, "In their hearts, Americans feel really good right now." Here's what he says.

Here play this clip.

“Why aren't we seeing this sentiment? Why are people feeling better?”

Well, I was in the investment business. There are consumer surveys, but I used to look at what are the people really doing. So at Treasury, we have loads of CEOs come through, whether they're in retail, credit card, the banks, and the consumer while they may be sounding a grim is actually quite buoyant. So we are seeing spending has been very solid across most categories. They may not feel good, but in the heart of heart safety, I'm not sure what they're telling to survey people.

What are you talking about? Oh, and then you have Donald Trump's VP. J.D. Vance says that he wants to end the US dollars position as a global reserve currency because he thinks it allows Americans to consume too much and do so too cheaply as Phil Magnus explains. Keep that in mind next time you order a $20 burrito on DoorDash, and this is what J.D. Vance's view is. And like literally everything out of this regime are ways to like harm America and harm the American people.

What do you mean you don't want? You don't like the dollar to become the world's reserve currency. Here play this clip. That's yeah, that's exactly right. And by the way, you know, I am, this is like maybe super header docs.

“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 curve, 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 in an unlimited way because we have the reserve currency.

And then you had Donald Trump yesterday speaking in Nassau County. By the way, I grew up in Nassau County in a town there. It's run right now by a MAGA County executive Bruce Blakeman who's running for Governor in New York against Democratic Governor Kathy Hockel. And so Blakeman had, I covered this in detail, so I'm sure you know, but just to remind you, he had the Nassau County police department. Officials, he paid them and he got paid overtime also to basically be Donald Trump's props.

Again, Trump and during the speech yesterday. And so Trump, as you know, is a sexual predator, he's been found civilly liable for sexual assault. He's on tape bragging about sexually assaulting women. He says, because he's rich, he can do it. Sick man, sick human being, he's a felon separately in a different case in a business records case.

He was, they found 34 felony counts. He's bankrupted a lot of stuff, obviously. And so you have, and of course, all the crime that's taken place right now in plain view. And then here he is, as he's covering up the Epstein files. Again, this guy's covering up a child sex trafficking ring.

And he's been found civilly liable for sexual assault separately in a separate case. And you've got the police behind him working with the MAGA County executive.

"Thank you, you saved me."

How is he talking about here? Play this clip. Now, these young beautiful girls, these young beautiful girls, these young beautiful girls and the White House. You know, they come in.

“Now, I'm not supposed to say beautiful, but what the hell?”

These young, these gorgeous, beautiful girls, they want to be safe. And they come, Mr. President, may I speak to you, yes. Thank you, sir. Thank you. I said, "Why you'd think of me?"

Because a year and a half ago, I was afraid to leave. I was afraid to open the door of my apartment. And now I walk to the White House every morning and I have absolutely one of you. Thank you, sir.

And then, yeah, I'm going to do another video on this morning, so I hope you'll watch it.

Trump's Patriot Games, where he had these young girls and young guys, 14 to 17 year old high school students. Now, Trump said, "These are the best athletes in the country and they're not." They, like, wrote an essay and they sent a video and, like, the Trump regime picked. Like, these girls that, that Trump wanted to be in this game.

They're not the best athletes. No offense to them. They're not close to them. They're not good athletes. I mean, they're not, they're not, they're not horrible, I guess. But then, Trump had them do these weird events. Like, I mean, this is some weird, this is, like, some weird ass stuff right here.

And so they did pop a shot. You know, like, when you go to a Chuck E. Cheese, and you, like, you know, those games with, like, the basketball, like, the arcade basketball.

“And so that's what they called the Patriot Games.”

And they had, and they had, like, tug of war. And, like, a ball that you threw on, like, this foam, super, super weird, super strange. And then I'll just, and then, you know, in the past 24 hours, you've also had Donald Trump's trade secretary, James and Greer,

just whining about Canada. Here's the, in, in whining about Canada doing retaliatory tariffs, against Trump, putting tariffs and declaring a trade war against Canada. He's like, why would they do retaliation against it? Why, why would you go to a trade war?

Why are you attacking Canada, you idiot? Here, play this clip. Well, I would say that those duties, if you, if you look at what was put out, the legal basis for those duties, the policy basis for those duties are related to, to measures that Canada took against the United States.

So I've got two countries in the world that have retaliated against the United States for trade measures.

“The people's Republic of China, a Canada.”

That's not the kind of company you really want to be running in. And so we have three issues where Canadians have banned this sale of American wine and spirits in Canada. You know, for, for everything that, that we've done on the, and the Trump trade administrative, essentially assessing a fee on foreign goods,

made by foreign workers, we're not in the business of banning these things for Canada. So that's interesting. So that has to be resolved. We have an uneven dairy treatment. In some instances, Canada gives the EU better treatment on dairy,

then they give us their best customer. And we want the benefit of our bargain from the afternoon US and C on dairy. And then we have a variety of other issues on procurement and a variety of things like that. I mean, those things have to be resolved because that's a legal basis for those other tariffs. You know, again, from the US perspective,

you know, this is our trade policy. The Canadians have come in and they want to have a conversation about it. And we're having those conversations. I mean, again, this is a global trade policy. We have been suffering in the United States for decades under trade policy

that incentivizes offshoring to China, to Mexico, to Vietnam. But in some cases, to Canada, even. And we can't allow that to happen anymore. Ultimately, we are accountable to American voters. The president was elected by voters on a campaign on a platform

of protecting American industry. So that is first and foremost what we need to do. You know, these tariffs that are coming in, they are a response to Canadian retaliatory measures, like the kind of things that China would do.

And so those are things that would have to be resolved. Thank you. Yeah, so there you have it, everybody. Let me know what you think.
