I'm going to sue you. Stop talking about the plane. You've got Donald Trump also making posts, accusing Hillary Clinton of like murder in these weird conspiracy videos that he's posting, not to mention earlier in the day, Donald Trump was attacking Walmart. He said Walmart's making too much money. He says you got to eat the tariffs, Walmart. You got to eat the tariffs, China. Can this behavior is so unhinged? I want to just go through what's going down here.
0:45And all of this is taking place as a new poll was just released showing Donald Trump's approval is underwater in basically every major category. And when you start talking about the economy and foreign policy and tariffs, American people, Democrats, Republicans, independents hate this guy. It's the latest polling from a company and organization called Strength in Numbers Verisite. And when you go through specific policy areas, he has a net minus 32 point rating on prices and inflations, a minus 17 point net rating on jobs and the economy, a minus 21 when it comes to trade, a minus 20 on government funding, minus 17 on health care, on foreign policy, minus 16 points on federal government workforce, minus 15, minus 16 points.
1:42And a lot of these were areas that Republicans used to do good at. Also, Donald Trump attacking James Comey's daughter-in-law, and he calls him Comey. James Comey's daughter and son-in-law need to be relieved of their duties by the FBI. They work in the federal government. Oh, and not to mention Donald Trump posting weird, just fake AI videos of himself singing songs in front of fake crowds. I mean, this behavior is completely unhinged. I mean, you also have Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran saying the following about Donald Trump. Some of the remarks made during the U.S. president's trip to the region, to the Middle East, aren't even worth a response at all.
2:29The level of those remarks is so low that they are a source of shame for the American nation. Just think about that. You have the leader of Iran acting like a moral authority, saying that I don't even need to respond to what Trump is saying. He so shamed the United States of America. It is just so utterly embarrassing for America right now. As an American, you know how embarrassing that is? And I said this elsewhere. You know, American media has so propagandized this Trump regime. And I'm not just talking about Fox. Like corporate news has tried to normalize all of this stuff and they regurgitate Donald Trump's fake deals as headlines to make it seem like Trump did this great trip to the Middle East.
3:21And they spend their times talking about Biden and all these ridiculous things while Donald Trump's destroying the United States of America. I don't think Americans fully appreciate how utterly disastrous this trip to the Middle East was and just how further it reinforced to the rest of the world. What an unstable gremlin creature like Kim Jong-un-like, this mush of a human, if you want to call him that, is. and it just reinforced to the world like utter weakness. I mean, they look at what Syria did, right? Like the leader of Syria saw all these other countries bribing Donald Trump with Bitcoin deals and with gold-plated jets.
4:07And so the leader of Syria is like, okay, here's what we're gonna do. We wanna get rid of the sanctions against us. Let's just offer Donald Trump a Trump Tower Damascus. Let's bribe him. And then maybe we'll get some of the sanctions removed. They offer him a Trump Tower Damascus. Cause effect, Donald Trump meets with the leader of Syria and calls him a handsome man. You're so handsome. You're so good looking. Look how handsome. You're hot. You're a handsome man. That's what Trump says to the guy. And then he removes the tariffs against Syria. This is going underreported as well, but I'm going to do a whole other video on it because I think it's very important.
4:45So Donald Trump's family, who are 60 % owners of this crypto venture that he does, World Liberty Life or like World Life Crypto, whatever the hell it's called. They did a deal, underreported, with Pakistan in late April, like six days after the terrorist attack in Kashmir. The Trump family crypto, they own 60 % of this company, did this crypto deal with Pakistan. And it really has India infuriated. And Prime Minister Modi is infuriated right now. Donald Trump trying to brag and take credit for negotiating the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. And India's like, you had nothing to do with it at all.
5:27And then Donald Trump's out there making fake, doing announcements claiming he did deals with India. And India's like, we haven't done a trade deal with you. Stop making up these things about India. Stop lying about our country. So that Pakistan crypto deal with the Trump family, that's got underreported as well. And just here Trump is, you know, late at night, Saturday night, you know, it's like 11 o 'clock, like 11 o 'clock Eastern. Why doesn't Chairman Bob Iger do something about ABC fake news, especially since I just won a$16 million based on the fake and defamatory reporting of little George Slopadopoulos.
6:15He was given warnings, but just couldn't be restrained by management. Now I see they are at it again, and I've given these sleazebags fair warning. The wonderful country of Qatar, after agreeing to invest more than$1.4 trillion in the United States of America, deserves much better than the misleading fake news. Everyone, including their lawyers, has been told that ABC must not say that Qatar is giving me a free Boeing 747 airplane because they are not. Instead, and as fake news ABC fully knows, this highly respected country is donating a plan to the United States Air Force. By the way, do you notice how the deal went from$1.2 trillion to$1.4 trillion?
7:02The entire annual GDP of Qatar is$200 billion, okay? Qatar can't make a$1.4 trillion contribution without sacrificing six years or more, seven years under your new fake number of its annual GDP. It's just all an absolute lie. And this is why you can't settle with Trump. If you give him an inch, he takes your life. He is an extorter. Like quite literally, he's a felon. He is a fraud. He is a sex abuser. That's who he is. He's a sexual, he's been found liable for sexual abuse. He's a bank ruptor. You don't do deals with this guy. You can't. He's a corrupt. He literally is a criminal. You can't, you're going to go do deals with criminals and then go, oh my God, I got screwed by the felon.
8:03I mean, the guy's a felon. He's going to act like a felon. He's a, he has horrible, he has no character. He's a vile piece of a vile piece of trash. Excuse my language. That's, I'm sorry, curse. That's all, I mean, that's who he is. That's who his history is. You can't trust somebody like that. And just take a look at this. You've got him posting weird videos of himself playing piano. And what the hell is he doing? I like Jonah Goldberg, who wrote this when Donald Trump was saying Walmart needs to stop blaming tariffs for raising its prices and they need to eat the tariffs. Jonah Goldberg goes, I'm old enough to remember because I'm not a newborn infant.
8:49When Trump said tariffs were paid by other countries, how can Walmart eat tariffs? when they're not already eaten by other countries. You want to see like real diplomacy? You want to see what's really going down in the rest of the world? Here you have President Zelensky and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney discussing new sanctions targeting Russia's energy sector and shadow fleet. The priority is pushing Russia toward real steps to end the war, Zalinski said after the meeting. And Zalinski and Carney discussed new pressure mechanisms on Russia during meeting in Rome. That's what the adults are doing.
9:30While Donald Trump's out there whining like a little petulant baby, no offense to petulant babies who behave far more maturely than this. This is what real leaders are doing now. I want to share with you this as well. Spencer Kimme pointed this out. American companies going to Europe to raise euros because it's more stable, easier, and cheaper to borrow in Frankfurt than in New York. Welcome to the upside down. U.S. companies are now tapping Europe's debt market at a record pace, attracted by lower borrowing costs on the continent and the chance to diversify their sources of funding and uncertainty over Donald Trump's tariffs triggers big market swings.
10:14Strong demand from European debt investors has allowed U.S. non-financial companies to borrow 40 billion euros in so-called reverse Yankee deals in which U.S. groups raise money in the euro-dominated bond market. As of May 9th, according to Bank of America data, new deals worth multiple billions of euros have been priced since then. So if you're wondering the ramifications of Donald Trump's behavior, as lots of top financial people have said, as I've said, Donald Trump has destroyed the American brand. He's destroyed this idea that America is the stable place where you put your money. It isn't anymore.
10:59So companies are looking elsewhere right now. Moody's, the credit agency that's been around since 1917, I reported on this yesterday, downgraded the United States credit score. It's the first time it's been downgraded since 1917. They didn't downgrade the US credit score through the world wars, through great recessions, through great depressions. Now it's been downgraded because of Donald Trump's despicable behavior. That's why. That's what's going down right there. A few other things I want to point out. I think it's important to discuss. One of them is horrific storms. I'm going to do a whole other video on this.
11:46Horrific storms in Kentucky, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois. Donald Trump's not mentioning at all. You haven't heard him post one thing about it. Over 16 Americans have died in these horrific storms. And one of the things we're learning is that the storm forecasting was compromised by Doge's firings at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agencies and the Weather Service, the National Weather Service, NWS. They didn't have the staff to even let people know about how bad these storms were going to be before. Horrible stuff. And Donald Trump's not even acknowledging it. Another factor You know about the situation in the airports right now with air traffic control in multiple airports losing sight of their radar for minutes on end.
12:45We've seen it happen in Denver. We're seeing it happen in Newark. We're seeing it happen in other airports. And we're going to learn about more airports over the coming weeks. We know that. But now in Newark, there's also a measles outbreak. So Newark Airport under the Trump regime, come for the near-death flight experiences and delays. Stay for measles. And RFK Jr. will tell you that he thinks that he's not sure if you should even get vaccinated for it. Of course you should. What a ridiculous cacistocracy. What a ridiculous regime. Let me play this video of Democratic Congress member Jamie Raskin to play us out.
13:27I want you to hear what he has to say. Let's play it.
13:57stupid person not to take it, but it's not an intelligence test and it's not a personality test. It's a constitutional test and it's up to Congress to determine whether that's in the national security interest of the United States and whether it's in the interest of the public integrity of the US government. There you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe and let's get to 5 million subscribers. Thank you for watching.
