Trump Panics and Rushes to Situation Room after Shooting!!

0:00My name is Mackenzie, and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis. And we raised about$10 ,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed. We had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.

2:01Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is rushing to the Situation Room right now based on an apparent emergency that he wanted us to be distracted from over the weekend until he and Barack Ravid from Axios could try to manipulate the markets today. So Donald Trump is now saying we just got a new offer in from Iran that we have to determine immediately if we're going to escalate the war again or if we're going to make the greatest deal imaginable. Call an emergency situation room meeting. It is always chaos with these folks. And as I've been saying over the weekend after the White House Correspondents Dinner purported shooting, Donald Trump was using it, one, to build a golden ballroom, number two, to attack Democrats, three, to try to attack no kings protests, but also significantly to try and distract from the fact that this weekend Donald Trump promised the country that Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner were going to his Islamabad, Pakistan, to meet with the Iranians.

3:16Ben Meiselas:And there was going to be productive negotiations at the Midas Touch Network. We said, that ain't happening. That's yet another Trump lie. And then on Friday, Donald Trump had to admit. And then on Saturday morning, he had to admit before the purported shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, actually, Whitkoff and Kushner aren't going to go. It's a waste of time. And we got a proposal back from Iran and we just don't think it's that serious. So therefore we've decided to cancel the trip because the trip would be too much work. And then you had that alleged shooting at the White House correspondence dinner.

3:56Ben Meiselas:And then Donald Trump and his team started like laughing and high-fiving each other afterwards. And they were having a grand old time at the White House holding press conferences after. And then into the morning, Donald Trump met with CBS State Regime Media. Donald Trump met with State Regime Media Fox, his two favorite state regime medias. And then they started pushing all of the propaganda for the golden ballroom. And the media was like, oh, you're so courageous, Donald. This is one of those moments where we're really going to need the public to rally behind you. This is a time where we need unity more than ever.

4:36Ben Meiselas:Really, when Donald Trump's approval is worse than Richard Nixon's at the time that Richard Nixon resigned, really, as the Trump regime is covering up a child sex trafficking ring in the Epstein files, really, as inflation is surging right now, as food inflation year over year is right now spiking and people can't afford groceries, people can't afford gas, people can't afford rent. And now you want unity all of a sudden. And Donald Trump, he looks so presidential. Folks, the shooting was nowhere near. The purported shooting was nowhere even near where the event was taking place. And there everyone's like, oh my God, can you believe what went down?

5:19Ben Meiselas:So right before the markets opened today, you had Barack Ravid at Axios, guess who it is again? He posts the following. New, Iran gave the U.S. a new proposal for reaching a deal on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and lifting the naval blockade first and postponing nuclear negotiations for a later stage. A big success. So there's going to be an emergency situation room meeting right now. Whereas before Donald Trump and Netanyahu launched their unlawful and catastrophic war in Iran, the sole purpose was to make sure Iran doesn't get nuclear weapons. And that even though Donald Trump said back in June of last year that everything was obliterated, the whole point was to reach a nuclear deal.

6:12Ben Meiselas:So now the big breaking news of the negotiations that Donald Trump and Barack Reveit are pushing to manipulate the market and to pump it up is that Iran has said, we are not going to even have discussions with you about reducing our nuclear capabilities. And so now that is a victory and that's some sort of a win. So you're just repackaging Iran's demand that they get to continue to have their uranium. and now that's a story? Do you all see the market manipulation and now there's urgent situation room? It is always chaos with this regime because when they create a state of chaos, that's when they can manipulate the markets and that's when they could use their state regime media and propaganda arms to try to distort and confuse and to keep the people distracted.

7:08Ben Meiselas:But I know you won't be distracted from things like the Epstein files and things like the disastrous economy that has now been even further worsened by Donald Trump's behavior. And Barack Ravid, you know, he's throwing up the sirens, everybody. Trump is expected to hold the Situation Room meeting on Iran with his top national security and foreign policy team. Another siren, everybody. The meeting is expected to discuss the current stalemate and then negotiations with Iran and the potential options for the next step in the war. And then, of course, this was reposted everywhere. And then the markets were manipulated.

7:50Ben Meiselas:Isn't that just what happens every Sunday? We got to do an analysis of all of this Barack Ravid social media posts that he makes on Friday and then he makes on Sunday and how he manipulates the markets with Donald Trump. It is utterly outrageous. You know this type of stuff that I'm focused on that they don't want us to be focused on. Things like this. U.S. farm bankruptcies are up 46 % year over year, 70 % in the Midwest. Food inflation, accelerating. Average inflation for food and beverage companies surged 7.9 % year over year in March. The biggest jump in 12 months. This is up 373 basis points from 4.2 % in February.

8:40Ben Meiselas:The largest jump was recorded in tomatoes at 102 % year-over-year, vegetables at 90 % year-over-year, and diesel at 88 % year-over-year. This was largely driven by higher fuel costs, meaning the full impact of rising fertilizer and plastic prices has not yet even been reflected. Meanwhile, urea prices, the world's most widely used nitrogen fertilizer, have doubled since February to$900 per metric ton, the highest since 2022. Fertilizer costs are rapidly rising for farmers and will eventually translate into higher wholesale food prices before landing on grocery store shelves. Food inflation is set to accelerate as the Kobayashi report explains.

9:34Ben Meiselas:So, you know, this data right here lets you know why you see a lot of this mass chaos right now, because they want to distract from all of this. How about this piece of data right here? The great lake states, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, they're about to set 2026 record highs in the next few days with gas prices set to jump 25 to 65 cents more. Folks, I could keep on going, but I think you understand what's going down. So what did Donald Trump now say over the weekend? I mean, in addition to golden ballroom this and golden ballroom that, Donald Trump is now claiming, and this is the new narrative that they're gonna push today, right?

10:21Ben Meiselas:The weekend was White House correspondent shooting. We need a new ballroom. Oh my God, mass chaos. The shooter was so close. How courageous and unity. Now what Donald Trump is trying to claim is that in three days, Iran's entire oil field is going to blow up if Iran doesn't make a deal in the next three days, right? Now we're on like a three-day loop. And so because Trump says this naval blockade is so effective, Trump says mechanically in the earth something happens where the oil fields in Iran will just explode. That's Donald Trump's scientific definition. Watch what he tells state regime media here play this clip.

11:08But what you're referring to is that when you have lines of vast amounts of oil pouring through your system, if for any reason that line is closed because you can't continue to put it into containers or ships, which has happened to them, they have no ships because of the blockade. what happens is that line explodes from within both mechanically and in the earth it something happens where it just explodes and they say they only have about three days left before that happens and when it explodes you can never regardless you can never rebuild it the way it was in other words it will always be if you rebuild it it's hard to rebuild it all but it would only be about 50 percent of what it is right now so it's a very powerful thing that takes place, sort of having to do with nature.

11:58But when that gets clogged at the end, in other words, when you have to turn it off because you have no place to store this oil, either put it on ships or storage tanks, which they are just about finished with, a very bad thing is going to happen. So I think they're under pressure.

12:16Ben Meiselas:Or we can hear from a real oil expert like Daniel Davis, who explains, that's not how oil facilities work, Donald. Pipelines don't just blow up because they can't store enough oil. That's a lie. If that was a risk, then five of the other Gulf country cooperation countries would already have their pipelines exploded, right? Like the Saudis and Qatar and Bahrain and these countries, it would have all blown up already, right? And none have. Literally, the systems are designed with fail-safe safety measures to make sure that doesn't happen. Plus, Iran is definitely not three days away from full storage capacity.

12:55Ben Meiselas:It takes a lot longer than that to reach that level. If an Iranian pipeline suddenly blows up in the next three days, the likely culprit will be a U.S. missile. And that will trigger a massive retaliation from Iran. If Trump is trying to be cute again, it's going to blow up in all of our faces. Now, here's the deal, Donald. You can pursue a negotiating path with Iran. And in negotiation, you give and you take a little bit, right? You have to give some things up. You have to make concessions. So if you want to negotiate with Iran, you got to make a deal. You can't keep on threatening them. That's not how people negotiate.

13:38Ben Meiselas:If you want to threaten and you want to go dominate, I don't think this is the right move at all. I think it's the wrong move, but then go to war and see if you can win. But you can't try to achieve that which you couldn't on the battlefield through a negotiation via your social media post. It's why Iran just keeps on mocking you over and over again because you are setting arbitrary deadlines. You think your all caps is going to scare them. It doesn't scare them. And then you blink and then you extend the deadlines and you make up stuff that isn't true at all. You know, you had all of these MAGA sycophants like lining up also on state regime media known as Fox to try to be like, they know how deeply unpopular Donald Trump is.

14:35Ben Meiselas:The least popular in presidential history, right? So you have like Maria Bartiroma is on there with this MAGA Republican congressman and she's like, I spoke with Trump this morning. He exhibited calm and solid leadership. What are you talking about? What are you talking about here playing this clip? Absolutely right. And I spoke with him this morning and he also exhibited that calm and solid leadership, hands on the wheel. And he told me he wanted to go back in. But the Secret Service advised not to, that it was very difficult to secure the room. They don't know if anyone else got in at that point.

15:09So he said, we will reschedule. Congressman.

15:12Ben Meiselas:And then you have like MAGA Republican Congress member Jim Jordan tries to tie this into this bizarre criminal case that the Trump regime brought against the Southern Poverty Law Center. Like this was three attempts on Donald Trump. They keep on trying to go after Donald Trump. Excuse me. I mean, Butler, which has a lot of questions about it as well. and the Trump regime is not being transparent and Trump's not turning over his medical records about Butler, Pennsylvania, but the shooter was a MAGA guy. And then the other two, there was one thing at Mar-a-Lago where the guy didn't even get close or he was by the, or the Palm Beach golf course didn't even get close.

15:56Ben Meiselas:And this didn't get close at all. And the Palm Beach one, the guy was also a Republican also. And it was just so embarrassing, Right. I mean, you had like Heinrich, the MAGA Republican regime media propagandist on Fox. And she concluded her interview with Trump by praising him. You're so strong, Donald. You're so strong. Thank you for being there at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Here, play this clip. And Jackie, with that, I have to go. OK, I want to thank you, Mr. President, for joining us today. And I also want to say how grateful we were last night as a member of the board of the White House Correspondents Association and the incoming president of that association we were very grateful to have you there taking part in a tradition that recognizes the role of a free press in our democracy and we're all sad that it went the way that it did we're all grateful that we get to come home to our loved ones and uh be together afterward and thank you for your leadership uh in the moments afterward and for coming on and giving the the country um the strength to not let those who would wish to harm us uh stop us from our pursuit of our liberties.

17:03Well, Jackie, thank you very much. It's very nice. Very nice. Let's do it again. Let's not let people like this change the course of our country. We're not going to let that happen. So hopefully you guys can get it on and get it together and I'll be there, I promise. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you very much, Jackie. Bye. Bye-bye.

17:21Ben Meiselas:And then you had all of these press people like Wyja and CBS, and they wanted to make this all about themselves. And I was there, and I couldn't believe what was going to happen. Listen to what Wyja says here. Play this clip. Your seven-year-old daughter was there. Your parents were there. Your husband was there. This was a lot. And I wonder what you think about this and why it was so important for all of us to be gathered. How are you making sense? Is that have you? I think we're processing this still. I think we're all processing it. Look, I just think they're all ignoring what the American people are actually going through right now, the pain that people feel.

18:02Ben Meiselas:And regardless of what went down or didn't go down at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, the undisputed fact is that Donald Trump and his regime handled it in such a deeply unserious matter afterwards, right? They were laughing. They were like high-fiving. They thought it was one big joke, regardless of what you believe happened or didn't happen. Let's just stick with the undisputed facts, Jack. Afterwards, they acted like they were having a jolly old time. And then they immediately, and I mean immediately, politicized the thing. No more no Kings protests and golden ballrooms and the Democrats are behind all of this always and Democrats are bad and this is why Democrats need to allow this piece of legislation to go through and that piece of legislation to go through.
