Trump Has Disaster Thursday as Walls Close In

0:01Ben Meiselas:Evening. Buyer's remorse. Buy a new car? I'll be moving in. Let's get started. Uh, sorry, I think there's been a mistake. I bought it from Carvana. You what? Yeah, great price. I even have seven days to love it or return it. So there's no... No, no buyer's remorse. More like buyer's rejoice. I guess I'll let myself out. Congratulations. I mean it. Buyer's rejoice. Buy your car today on Carvana. Limitations and exclusions may apply. See our seven-day return policy at Carvana.com. Donald Trump is having an awful Thursday morning. He is panic posting and saying that the CEO of Intel needs to be fired.

0:39Ben Meiselas:I mean, just think about that for a second. You have an American president saying that the CEO of a company needs to lose their job. I don't know. Sounds like central planning to me. I mean, here's what Donald Trump posts. The CEO of Intel is highly conflicted and must resign immediately. There is no other solution to this problem. Thank you for your attention to this matter. What matter that you want to fire the CEO of Intel because he's not giving you fake$500 billion gifts? Then Donald Trump says tariffs are flowing into the USA at levels not even thought possible. Well, because you don't actually discuss what a tariff really is and that it is a tax on the American people passed on to the consumers and inflation is rising.

1:27Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump last night goes, it's midnight. He puts this all in caps. Billions of dollars in tariffs are now flowing into the United States of America. Yes, you said that already. And then before that, in all caps, reciprocal tariffs take effect at midnight tonight. Billions of dollars, largely from countries that have taken advantage of the United States for many years, laughing all the way, will start flowing into the USA. The only thing that can stop America's greatness would be a radical left court that wants to see our country fail. So you already see what he's doing there. He's setting up when the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals ultimately rules against him.

2:02Ben Meiselas:We'll see what happens there, that his tariffs are illegal. He's going to go, they were a radical left court. You see, I was going to make everybody rich, but they screwed me over. And by the way, the only people who are laughing right now at us are foreign countries right now, based on Donald Trump's lies. They weren't laughing at us before America used to be respected. And right now they're all laughing at Donald Trump because of his fake trade deals that are actually screwing over America. I mean, look, don't take my word for it. Look at Newsmax. Newsmax, Donald Trump propaganda. Here's what they post this morning.

2:35Ben Meiselas:President Donald Trump began levying higher import taxes on dozens of countries Thursday, just as the economic fallout of his months long tariff threats has begun to create visible damage for the U.S. economy. Newsmax, visible damage for the U.S. economy. If that's not a three alert fire, I don't know what to tell you. But Donald Trump knows that. That's why he's sending these weird messages to his supporters like this. This should be easy for you. And so you open it up and he goes, I'm collecting a list of key supporters who I can trust to advise my administration. There are a couple of things that I want to make sure we are on the same page about.

3:11Ben Meiselas:Ben, this is a big one. Illegal aliens are collecting social security. Should I put this to an end? No, they're not, Donald. And do people really think that they are his key advisors when they get this email. Then Donald Trump goes, the dam is cracking. In other words, don't look at his cover-up of the Epstein files. He wants you to look at something about Russia in 2016. That's the big scandal. Not that he's covering up for Epstein and that he's moved Ghislaine Maxwell from a Tallahassee prison to a minimum security prison in Texas and waive the fact that she is a convicted sex trafficker and giving her all the benefits of the world.

3:51Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump goes, The dam's cracking. The truth is pouring out. A new poll, he doesn't say which one, says 69 % of Americans want the Russia hoax conspirators held accountable. I'm sure that's what Americans are thinking about. They wake up and they go, yeah, I'm not worried about the fact that groceries are not affordable or that I can't afford to buy a house or that there are wars raging across the world that Donald Trump said he alone would fix in 24 hours. What people wake up thinking, according to Donald Trump, as you know, in 2016, when Donald Trump said, Russia, if you're listening, can you please hack into my opponent's emails that Donald Trump didn't really say that.

4:25Ben Meiselas:And there's all some massive hoax out there. That's what the American people are thinking about. But in a real serious note as well, Donald Trump is demonstrating how he intends to rig the midterms and the 2028 election as well. I mean, here's what he posted. He goes, I have instructed our department commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate census. based on modern day facts and figures, and importantly, using the results and information gained from the presidential election of 2024. People who are in our country illegally will not be counted in the census. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

4:59Ben Meiselas:And to be clear, Donald Trump considers anybody who doesn't support him pretty much here illegally. As our editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski writes, the next part of the plan to steal the midterms and or the 2028 election and attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming. And speaking of Donald Trump rigging the midterms, we're now learning that the FBI is indeed intending to arrest the Texas state legislators who are in Illinois right now. You'll recall MAGA Republican Senator of Texas, John Corden, requested that the FBI start arresting the Democratic Texas state legislators who are in Illinois.

5:39Ben Meiselas:And now Kornin is saying that the FBI has agreed to his request. But as we have grocery prices up, Russia's war still raging. Credit card interest rates not capped at 10 percent. Prescription drug prices remaining high. IVF not free. Taxes still on Social Security. Tips not 100 percent tax free. And by the way, people are not getting the tips they wanted because our economy is struggling. Ask those Vegas workers. Overtime not 100 percent tax-free. Epstein files not released. Donald Trump's post about 30 minutes ago was 200 days, making America great again. Are you feeling great, everybody? Because I sure as heck am not feeling great.

6:15Ben Meiselas:The Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, was interviewed by CNN moments ago, and he said, can we be very clear here? Donald Trump is probably the most hated politician in the world in Canada. Here's Premier Doug Ford moments ago. Let's play it. What's the general impression of Trump in Canada?

6:38He's probably the most disliked politician in the world in Canada because he's attacked his closest family member. And that's the way we look on it. And when I talk to the governors and senators and congresspeople, even Republicans totally disagree, but they're too scared to come out and say anything because the president will go after him outside of a few senators. And I want to thank them for coming out and standing with not just American people, but their closest friends and allies, which is Canada. And again, we love the Americans. It's unfortunate President Trump decided to go down this road.

7:15Ben Meiselas:You ever step outside and feel like you're instantly drenched in sweat? It's like no matter what you do, it doesn't stop. Now, I know with this seat, that's basically me every day.

And here, Premier Doug Ford, by the way, who once upon a time was supportive of Donald Trump a few years back, not anymore.

9:15Ben Meiselas:And he says, Trump is just trying to make the American people suffer. Here's Premier Ford. Let's play this clip. And we're lowering taxes. We're making sure we're competitive for companies to come and invest in Canada. Ontario alone last year attracted over$40 billion of investment, creating more jobs, more opportunities. I would much rather, you know, work with our greatest ally and closest friend and increase jobs in both countries. And we can do that. We'd be the two strongest nations in the world economically. That's our goal. But unfortunately, President Trump doesn't want to go down that avenue.

9:53He wants to hurt the American people.

9:55Ben Meiselas:And that's exactly what he's doing. I have to mention as well this morning, you have Benjamin Netanyahu going on Fox and saying that, yes, Israel does intend to take control of Gaza. And Donald Trump's given Netanyahu a free pass right here. Carte Blanche authority. Do whatever you do. We see the people starving in Gaza right now, which is absolutely an atrocious thing to see. But here's Netanyahu in his own words. Play this clip. You will go immediately into a meeting with your security cabinet. Will Israel take control of all of Gaza? We intend to, in order to assure our security, remove Hamas there, enable the population to be free of Gaza and to pass it to civilian governance.

10:40That is not Hamas and not anyone advocating the destruction of Israel. That's what we want to do. We want to liberate ourselves and liberate the people of Gaza from the awful terror of Hamas.

10:52Ben Meiselas:And I can't help reflect on the campaign where Donald Trump brought up on stage the Muslims for Trump who said that, oh, well, Donald Trump's going to end all wars. He's going to stop the war in Gaza in 24 hours. He's going to stop the war in Ukraine. But now Donald Trump says he was joking about that. He goes, I was just being sarcastic. LOL, JK. That's what I do as a president. I just I'm like a stand up comedian when it comes to things. ending the war in Gaza. I didn't really mean that. End the war in Ukraine. Come on. Y 'all know I was being sarcastic, but here's what went down at that speech.

11:28Ben Meiselas:And you'll hear when Trump brings up the Muslims for Trump on stage, they said, we're supporting Trump because he's going to end those wars. Here, let's play this clip. We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to and war in the Middle East and Ukraine.

11:48Ben Meiselas:And then finally, I have to share this with you. You had Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary, Scott Besant, fumbling this morning as he was asked a very basic question. The question was, who pays the tariffs? Is it the importer who literally pays the tariff? Yes. And they pass it on to the consumer? Or is it the foreign countries, as Donald Trump pretends? If we can't even agree and understand what a tariff is, then you really can't have a basic conversation that is factually rooted because a tariff is a tax on the importer that is passed to consumers. And stop pretending that inflation has been eliminated.

12:26Ben Meiselas:It is not. Go into a grocery store. We know things are more expensive. But here's gaslighting Treasury Secretary Scott Besson. Let's play this clip. There has been some confusion. So we've got a tariff of 50 percent on Brazil now. I think. And so if someone here, an importer, wants to buy Brazilian products today or tomorrow and import them, they're going to pay 50 percent to the Treasury. And so who writes that check? Well, a couple of things. First, we could have substitutions. So there's very little that only comes from Brazil, that it could come from Argentina. It could come from. But assuming it does come from Brazil, say, or it comes from any country with a tariff, who writes the check to the Treasury?

13:22Well, the check is written to the person who receives it at the dock in the U.S. The check is written by the person who receives it at the dock. So the tariff is paid in this country by the importer. Is that right? But the Brazilian exporter could decide that they want to keep market share. They could lower their price so that the full 50 percent of the tariff say. Right. They could eat part of the tariff, too. Yes. Which is what we've seen. OK. OK. But the check is written by the importer right at the dock. Yeah. And then, you know, the importer can pass it on or not.
