Trump is Basically Hillary Clinton Now

0:00Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective. Funny how life has its own little way of bringing things around, completely full circle, where every accusation becomes an admission of guilt when you're this blatantly corrupt. Irreverent news talk, opinion, satire. It's Newsweek Radio. I'm Jesse Edwards. And it's President Trump who's going to start a war with Iran because he's the one who has absolutely no ability to negotiate as well as being weak and ineffective. What's good for the goose, I guess? Because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate.

0:34I'm not even saying that Trump was wrong here with his criticism of Obama, but clearly he's done no better. He's weak and he's ineffective. And besides, what about all that talk in June of just last year? I'm talking 2025 about how you completely obliterated Iran's nuclear capability. Tonight I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. We assess that the American strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities has set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons for many years to come.

1:14The nuclear threat of Iran, that was totally obliterated. Iran, where we wiped out their nuclear capacity for weapons. They totally obliterated the nuclear potential nuclear supply of Iran. In June, we obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity. Last summer, I ordered devastating strikes on Iran's key nuclear facilities and achieving total obliteration of the Iran nuclear potential capability. Totally obliterated. Totally obliterated. Well, clearly it wasn't obliterated. Otherwise, you wouldn't be picking another fight with them right now. Do you want to know who Trump reminds me of right now in this scenario?

1:53It's none other than Hillary Clinton. We would be able to totally obliterate them. There's that word again. That's a terrible thing to say. But those people who run Iran need to understand that, because that perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish, and tragic. This is what the America First crowd cannot stand, that they basically voted for Hillary Clinton, and there's no real fundamental difference between her and Trump or G.W. Bush, Obama, or any of the other globalist presidents since JFK. I mean, at least if you want to argue that JFK represents the moment when the United States fully embraced permanent global managerial leadership rather than wartime necessity.

2:31Our biggest problem right now is that our current president is about as good at international affairs as he is with domestic in that he sucks at both. Another perfect example outside of starting an all-out war with Iran was the most recent smackdown laid by the U.S. Supreme Court on his harebrained tariff idea that does nothing but hurt the American taxpayer where it hurts most, in our wallets. So while we're here, let's quickly circle back to the audio that dropped after the podcast on Friday when Trump was being a giant crybaby reacting to the Supreme Court blasting his terrible tariff idea out of the water like Battleship.

3:05I can do anything I want, but I can't charge one dollar. You sunk my battleship. Because that's not what it says. And that's not the way it even reads. I can do anything I want to do to them, but I can't charge any money. We have alternatives. Great alternatives. Could be more money. We'll take in more money and we'll be a lot stronger for it. We're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars. We'll continue to do so. Well, I mean, if you've got your work around, then what the hell is the problem if you're just going to do whatever the hell you want to do anyway? You just don't like being told no.

3:42That's what all this is about, isn't it? Why are you so incredibly butthurt if it truly worked out better this way as you're suggesting? Could be more money. We'll take in more money and we'll be a lot stronger for it. I mean, that is how you're spinning this embarrassing defeat of your own making. Nobody with two brain cells left to rub together believe you, Mr. President, and you're becoming a worse liar by the day as your cognitive ability slides down the toilet drain. People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once. Yeah, 10 years ago, Trump could have sold buckets of ice to the indigenous peoples of the Arctic regions.

4:18But now it's like he doesn't even try. He just complains about every other court in the country holding him back from the district all the way up to the supreme. They're very unpatriotic and disloyal to our constitution. Yeah, they're brilliant when they agree with him. And they're compromised by the enemy when they don't. Rinse and repeat and you've just stumbled upon all the depth that this administration contains. It's my opinion that the court has been swayed by foreign interests. Because Trump is as shallow as the kiddie pool that you buy at the dollar store. I can do anything I want, but I can't charge one dollar.

4:48And now we have the honor to sit through his State of the Union speech tomorrow night. Gag me with a fork. It's probably better for my health to avoid watching the entire thing because I'll just be yelling at my television and flipping it off the entire time. No, I don't believe that there's an honest bone in the man's body. Do you ever wonder if the devil goes around doing good deeds just to hoodwink the gullible people into believing that he's not the bad guy? No, no, I'm sure that kind of devious manipulation is beneath the dark prince, if there even is such a thing. And now a bunch of Democrats are boycotting Trump's State of the Union speech, and I understand the urge, but I think you've got to fight fire with fire when it comes to fighting a dumpster fire like Trump.

5:25Trump, don't boycott, show up and be loud. Getting kicked out of the chamber would be far more of a spectacle. And the times we're living in almost demand these kind of theatrics. Unfortunately all we have on the left these days are geriatrics leading the way. The truth is we need a healthy and robust left just as much as we need a healthy and robust right. But both are absolutely toxic by, for, and of each other right now. And there's no convincing me that it's not by design. Because there isn't an outside influence on this planet that wouldn't do anything to pay any price to see us here in the United States just as divided as we are today.

6:02And not just because of mutated clowns like Donald Trump. I can do anything I want. He's just a symptom of a much larger problem in America, not the cause of our sickness. Give him that much credit and he'll start taking responsibility for some of this. Trump is the byproduct. He is the surrendering. He is the concentrated and distilled collective ego of the average American who feels burned by a system so badly that they would elect a president like this not once but twice, solely based on the fact that he promised to do whatever it takes to burn down the entire system in return as retribution personified.

6:35I am your retribution. I am your retribution. Look, just because I understand it doesn't mean I have to like it. That's why it's so difficult for us never-Trump conservatives in our so-called United States today, watching history repeat itself in real time and standing on the edge of another we-told-you-so moment. He's too corrupt to be our president. He's too old to be our president. He's too stupid to be our president. I'm a man with great common sense and a smart person. And yet here we are sitting together wondering just what exactly the hell to do next. Because despite all of our checks and balances, and despite all of our generations of learned knowledge and experience in the ups and downs of this hybrid constitutional Republican democracy, this hybrid capitalist socialism freak show that gives us nothing but crapitalism in return.

7:21Us spoiled brats of this generation want to have everything both ways, to have our vanilla oat lattes and drink them too. And you wonder why we can't figure out our collective ass from a hole in the ground right now? The signs are all around us. I can do anything I want, but I can't charge one dollar. And the system is truly broken if this is the best we can do. And look, if that's the case and I'm not just being a cynical and skeptical pessimist for the sake of rhetorical tone, where do we go next? I want to believe that a revolution of civility and sanity is coming as a backlash to everything Trump represents because regular people are exhausted from culture wars that keep us permanently aggravated.

8:00But something tells me this is going to get much worse before it gets close to anything that could be mistaken for better. I sincerely hope I'm wrong. And those are my thoughts for today. And until we can do it again, it's Newsweek Radio. I'm Jesse Edwards. Catch you next time. Bye. And we say bye-bye. Newsweek Radio is a member of the Trust Project.
