1:29Ben Meiselas:There he goes again. Donald Trump was having a psychotic meltdown all last night. He was making social media post after social media post of some of the most deranged things imaginable. Donald Trump got word last night that the Senate parliamentarian was striking or preventing the United States Senate for allowing$1 billion in taxpayer money to be snuck into a reconciliation bill for Donald Trump's golden ballroom. He was absolutely livid about that. And also, there were major protests breaking out in Selma. I want to give a hat tip to everybody who showed up. Take a look right here. Thousands marching in Selma, calling for a full restoration of the Voting Rights Act as Donald Trump and his right-wing extremist fascist Supreme Court has gutted the Voting Rights Act.

2:21Ben Meiselas:They thought they were going to take away the power from we the people, that they were going to make us not motivated. No, people were showing up and protesting this despicable regime, demanding their impeachment. Here's what Donald Trump was posting all last night. It was posts like this. It was the calm before the storm. And it's an AI image of Donald Trump with a decorated admiral standing behind him. It's an AI image. He's pointing at the screen. Looks like to be an Iranian ship in the background, although Trump claims he's destroyed all Iranian ships. It was the calm before the storm is also a QAnon expression.

2:59Ben Meiselas:The storm is coming. and again, Donald Trump, by all accounts, Netanyahu are both talking about resuming open hostilities against Iran very, very soon, which of course would lead to a global depression and would cause so many lives to be lost. It would be absolutely horrific. Donald Trump was also posting AI images like this. We made America great again, he says. Really? Well, let's just take a look at what state regime media, which calls itself Fox, is talking about, because they're not talking about the economy doing well. Here's what they're even saying on Fox. Let's play this clip. You know, oil now over 100 bucks and you got a strong economy that's been sort of buffering that.

3:44Ben Meiselas:But, you know, there are there are red flags up there now. Charles, good to see you. Can you imagine just with all of the suffering you and Americans are experiencing right now? He posts golden images and says, we made America great again, as though people are thriving right now. I mean, Donald Trump may be thriving. We got his financials through his Office of Government Ethics stock trading account from January 2025 through April of 2026. Donald Trump's investment portfolio executed a new financial transaction roughly every nine minutes and 45 seconds. during trading hours. That's how Dropside breaks it down.

4:26Ben Meiselas:And this is the Financial Times analysis as well. It was 3 ,800 stock trades in the first quarter alone. So one trade usually of a multi million dollar value every nine minutes and 45 seconds. And Donald Trump was trading stocks of companies that he does business with, whether it's Apple or Palantir or Microsoft. I mean, When you go down the list of companies that he's trading, Boeing, the conflicts of interest are so utterly egregious. While Donald Trump's out there making social media posts and memes of him as Space Force, I mean, look at this image. What are you even posting? I mean, you literally look like an absolute psycho because you are.

5:14Ben Meiselas:He's posting Space Force, and it's some weird meme of himself, some weird photo of him next to Xi Jinping and Donald Trump writes, President Trump gets younger. Another weird image of Donald Trump looking like he's in a daze. He has no clue where to go as a Chinese chaperone tells him how to walk in a straight line. That's what you're posting right now. By the way, did you see this video that surfaced right here? You can see Xi Jinping gave Donald Trump intentionally a chair that had like a very low cushion on it so that Donald Trump would like fall into the seat. And Xi Jinping gave himself a chair that was more solid where he would perch above Donald Trump.

5:58Ben Meiselas:I'm showing you the B-roll right here so you can see how kind of awkward and uncomfortable Donald in every respect Donald Trump got absolutely played by Xi Jinping. Like, I mean, Donald Trump went in there and said, oh, you're so powerful. You're so strong. I think you're a great leader. And Xi Jinping looked him in the face and started talking about Thucydides' trap and America's in decline and get out of our way and don't talk about Taiwan. And Donald Trump just took it. And ever since Donald Trump came back to the United States, he's like, why would we help Taiwan? They're 9 ,500 miles away.

6:31Ben Meiselas:Why would we help this? I mean, I've never seen someone more weak and pathetic than Donald Trump, but he's been weak and pathetic. He's been a loser his entire life. He's bankrupted entity after entity. He's a lifelong loser. He's just a bully and a con artist who tricks people into believing he's tough when he's not. He's a freaking loser. Meanwhile, you have one of Iran's top national security people in their parliament posting the following. Iran, within the framework of its national sovereignty and the guarantee of international trade security, has prepared a professional mechanism to manage traffic in the Strait of Hormuz along a designated route, which will be unveiled soon.

7:12Ben Meiselas:In this process, only commercial vessels and parties cooperating with Iran will benefit from it. The necessary fees will be collected for the specialized services provided under this mechanism. The route will remain closed to the operators of the so-called Freedom Project, referring to Donald Trump and his regime and allies of the United States. M.B. Galabaf, Iran's parliament leader, posted the following. The world stands at the cusp of a new order. As President Xi said, the transformation unseen in a century is accelerating across the globe. And I emphasize that the Iranian nation's 70-day resistance has accelerated this transformation.

7:55Ben Meiselas:The future belongs to the global south. So with statements like that about restructuring global architecture, China being the main hegemonic dominant power in the world, the U.S. being a lesser power, the global south referring to China and Iran and Russia and this broader alliance right here rising. I mean, that's how they're referring to it. As NATO is destroyed by the United States, as America's alliances are weakened, as America first has meant America alone, Donald Trump was posting this as part of his psychotic meltdown last night. The reflecting pool between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, approximately 2 ,030 feet versus the tallest building in the USA, Obama and Biden spent more than$100 million trying to fix it.

8:48Ben Meiselas:What are you even talking about? You're painting the bottom of it blue. You're not fixing it by painting it blue. It's going to create more algae. It's going to look even worse. And it didn't look all that bad before. Yeah, there was algae issues and leak issues, but what the hell are you doing? And why are you comparing the size of a reflecting pool to one world trade center? I don't even understand the comparison. Next, you're going to compare the size of an ocean to the size of a mountain? Just because? What are you doing? Don't you have other things to think about than doing this? I just genuinely don't understand what the hell you're doing.

9:28Ben Meiselas:And meanwhile, state regime media, which calls itself Fox, has one of their warmonger hosts, Jesse Waters. And he was there pushing for war and saying that he's got super secret information that the war is going to be coming very, very soon. Here, play this clip. New York Times is reporting our military is preparing for another round of attacks, this time more aggressive. The attacks can come as early as Monday. Additional Iranian military targets are on the table. That includes infrastructure. The president's still reportedly considering a special operations raid to pull out the nuclear dust and possibly a ground assault on Karg Island.

10:05Ben Meiselas:I'll just show you a short clip of the latest Iran Lego video. Maybe I do a longer video on this, but this is how Iran is treating Marco Rubio now, the sycophantic, weak and pathetic secretary of state let's play a short clip of that for you let's play it little marco bark for your master that thing who's good dog tail wagging faster marco marco whole government is an epstein regime you're just a pedo projector marco marco you bark on cue out trump says jump you ask a high boss who used to diss trump hard called him a kind Flip flopper, now you kiss the ring and call it empire 2016 you said the man ain't fit, now you carry his bag, that's it Trump keeps you close enough to use, far enough he never lose, you see it yet Secretary of State, but they kick you off the car Rope finds out from CNN like the rest of y 'all You look the maverick adept in the face Promised oversight, promised grace But Epstein's files stay sealed, the donors stay in place It's funny how that work taking US tax dollars just to fund the genocide.

11:17Lovey checks inside your pocket. You can't run and hide. Whole planet hating BB for the slaughter in the graves. Wally bragging, now he's bagging what the US workers say. Little Marco. Marco. Bark for your master. Nathaniel's good dog.

11:34Ben Meiselas:And then we heard from Professor Mirandi. Professor Mirandi is an advisor to Iran's nuclear negotiating team. He traveled with Iran's team when there was negotiations a month or so ago. And here he threatens overwhelming retaliation against the United States. If the United States goes and escalates open hostilities against Iran again, here play this clip. I think the Iranians have made it pretty clear that their response will be very harsh. it will be more decisive than even the 39-day war or the 39-day hot war, the first phase of this current war, because the war is ongoing. We have siege warfare, of course, that Trump has also initiated and is carrying out.

12:26So the Iranians will hit very hard.

12:31Ben Meiselas:And if you want to know the perspective of Iran about Donald Trump's trip to China, Professor Morandi travels with all the top Iranian officials. He's a top professor there. He speaks really good English. Here's how he describes it. Here, play this clip. They'd only monitor the Iranian foreign minister's trip to China a few days before the summit. and they've seen the body language the statements made by the iranians and the chinese as well as chinese media reactions and social media reactions to that visit i think they would have i through that alone recognized that their requests were not going to achieve any results But in any case, I think it's probably even worse than I had anticipated, not on the Iran front, but in general, the trip achieved nothing.

13:41Ben Meiselas:And then I've been following the people who have been calling C-SPAN on the Republican line, three-time Trump voters who are done with him. Listen to this call by a C-SPAN caller from Honolulu, Hawaii, a three-time Trump voter. This is how most people who voted for Trump feel right now. Here, play this clip. Let's go to Thomas now, calling all the way in from Honolulu, Hawaii on the Republican line. Good morning, Thomas. You're on with us. yes good morning um yeah a national thought and then a local one um it's hard for me to say this but i think if i can open up about it in public that it might help others i wanted to believe trump was the real deal for a long time even though i had doubts because i knew enough about his business history to think otherwise.

14:35But now I regret my support for him, and I should have known better. He's making it plain as day. He's a con man, a liar, doesn't keep his promises. He's in office all for himself, and he doesn't even try to hide his corruption anymore. So unless you get all your information from what I call the right-wing propaganda for profit disinformation, media, industrial complex. He's the worst president we've ever had. And he's the most corrupt president we've ever had. I know it's hard. It took me a while to be able to say that. Very difficult when you commit yourself to believing in somebody. Thomas, if you don't mind me interjecting, did you vote for Trump all three times in 2016, 2020, 2024?

15:26I'm sorry, I missed that? Say that again, please. Did you vote for President Trump all three times that he's run? Yes, I wanted to vote. I've considered a third party. And I considered even a Democrat, but I did, in the end, vote for him. But... And what do you feel? That's really interesting. What do you feel? Or what was the straw that broke the camel's back this time around? Was it the war? I don't think it's one thing. It's been a cumulative process. And it's gotten so blatant now. And he's just literally the things he's going to lower prices on day one. He was going to do this on day one.

16:06Only he could fix all this stuff. And now I understand how somebody like Adolf Hitler was able to brainwash millions of people. I never thought I'd see that again in my lifetime. But it's happened, right? I thought we got past that, but we don't learn from history. But I just hope the best way we got to slow him down, make him accountable any way we can. Right now, the only weapon is to vote for as many Democrats, whether you like them or not. Just get some balance back into our system of checks and balances, right? We just, Congress is doing nothing to stop him. He has more power. He wants to be a king, but we're letting him get away with it.

16:47We fought a revolutionary war against England because we didn't want to be ruled by an arbitrary king like Trump wants to be. But I'll stop there for that. LeavingMAGA.org for anybody who's interested, it gives you a community of people who used to be supporters but who also are having doubts now. And being part of this community is a big part of the appeal, I think, right? So that's something others who might be having doubts could check into.

17:17Ben Meiselas:And as I noted, this is how most people who voted for Trump feel. Here's how they're talking about it on Infowars, which is Alex Jones' far right wing. These people used to be Trump sycophants. Watch what they say about Trump here very mockingly here. Play it. Look, all I know is in 2024, I voted for two things, all right? I voted to go to war with Iran and to build a ballroom, okay? And as long as Trump can get those two things done, I mean, nothing else matters, I'm pretty sure. I know I speak for all of us Trump supporters. When I said in 2024, we were promised two distinct things. We were promised war with Iran that we'd lose.

17:54We wanted to lose a war with Iran and we wanted to build a ballroom. And those are the only things that matter, folks. Other than that, deportations, who cares? Am I right? Getting rid of the welfare state and the hundreds of billions of dollars that are stolen from us. Small potatoes. We want a ballroom, Trump. We want a ballroom and we want it now. And we want it to be big and magnificent. Okay. We want it golden. All right. That's this is what we care about as Americans. We want to see gold plated ballrooms for you to have parties in. OK, the rest of us can suffer and die. Thank you very much.

18:27We want that ballroom. We want to expand FISA. Absolutely. We definitely want to drop the investigation into John Brennan. Get that out. We don't want him punished for anything ever. We want the ballroom and we want to lose a war to Iran. And by golly, Trump is delivering. Is he not? I don't think it's just me. I think we're all on that same page, right? Aren't we? Aren't we all on that page that all we really want, all we really want was to have the Epstein class protected from any consequences for their actions. We want the truth about the Epstein files to be buried completely. We want a big ass ballroom for Trump to have a party in.

19:01OK, that's all we want. This is sort of the thing, I guess you could say. I guess you could say this is what you might call the thing about all of this. It ain't just Trump. It is the Republican Party. It's inexplicable what they're deciding to focus their energy on and spend their time doing. There's not one thing I can point to that could even accidentally benefit the American people. Trump and the Republicans are just doubling down and hitting hyperspeed in their drive to do everything that we elected them not to do, to do everything that our enemies want them to do. It is truly absurd. Thank you for your support at the LSU store.com.

19:36Ben Meiselas:And also you have other Iranian counts just mocking Donald Trump. They're posting the image of Donald Trump's golden statue of himself at his Doral golf club. And then they're showing Saddam Hussein, the golden statues of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. And Iran social media accounts go, two images of a devil. Saddam Hussein, so damn insane is what they refer to Donald Trump as. You have Saddam Hussein and so damn insane. And then in response to all of Donald Trump's social media posts, the Iran social media accounts go, blah, blah, blah, bullshit, bullshit, blah, blah, blah, lie, bullshit, blah, blah, blah, blah, lie, lie.

20:17Ben Meiselas:bullshit lie, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That is what Iran thinks of the United States. You saw what China thinks of the United States. You see what the whole world thinks of the United States. I'll do a video in about 90 minutes about how world leaders are giving the United States an ultimatum right now as the United States has never looked weaker, but I'll leave that for the video coming up.
