Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:00Donald Trump is getting bad, like bad bad. I mean, I'm talking about his physical and cognitive abilities really bad. I know corporate news wants to normalize this behavior. I want to talk about just what happened this past week as he is rotting and deteriorating and like oozing before our eyes. It is grotesque. It is sick. It is disgusting. But we need to talk about it here on the Midas Touch. I need not even go into what happened in the past few weeks, like when he went on the roof of the White House and started talking about building nuclear weapons on the roof and then pointing out and saying, I own this.
0:45I bought this. This is all mine. I need not even talk about Donald Trump's bizarre meeting with Putin where he couldn't walk in a straight line and he was zigzagging all over the place. And I need not even focus on Donald Trump's rotting and deteriorating hand, which looks like he stuck it in a piranha tank and it came out like half there. And we're supposed to pretend that that's not something that is serious. We need not go there for this video even. Just think about this week. And let me present the case to you as if I were a lawyer and you were the jury. You can form your own opinion. So this week, Donald Trump held a bizarre press conference outside of the White House in the Rose Garden he destroyed, which he now calls a club.
1:33He calls it Club Rose Garden. And he says how all of these Republicans are breaking his ass. They're breaking his ass, he says. Donald Trump thought an American flag that he was presented in the Oval Office was a blankie. He thought it was a little blanket. Donald Trump claimed that there was$17 trillion that he now has that he's about to invest that he got from all of his tariffs in foreign countries. You have Donald Trump not able to hear the questions that are being asked to him very loudly. I did a whole video on this, but it seemed like Melania is now taking more of a role as a caretaker for Donald Trump.
2:16And he needs her to tell him what is being asked. I mean, just think if former President Biden had Dr. Jill Biden standing or sitting next to him and a reporter asked a question and Dr. Jill Biden had to explain to him what the question was that was being asked. You have Donald Trump going down this bizarro fake world of how he would have got the sprinklers to work in Los Angeles by turning on faucets and that Governor Newsom screwed up the sprinkler systems in L.A. I mean, what is really important to note about Donald Trump's deteriorating physical and mental condition, in my opinion, is that it's manifesting in ways that impact the country.
3:10It's impacting policy. And when we saw on Friday, these disastrous job numbers, horrific, like the worst job report since the Great Recession, maybe even before that, and where we see things are only going to be getting far worse from here on out. I'm like, can somebody just call this individual out for the diminished cognitive, mental, physical thing that he's become? OK, here's Donald Trump outside Friday night talking about Congress members breaking his ass. Sir, I broke your ass, sir. I'm breaking your ass. What does it even mean, breaking your ass? I don't even, he broke my ass? What is it?
3:59What words are those? Here, play this clip. I said, Jim, how you doing, Jim? Everything okay? Yes, sir. It's five o 'clock in the morning. How are you voting for us, Jim? Well, what do you think, sir? Tell me, what should I do, sir? And he broke my ass. And they had about 16 others. That doesn't mean we don't like him. And then Donald Trump here talks about how he was, how he wasn't in front of the cameras for a few days. So people thought he was dead. Here, play this clip. I got to the club, sir. Are you OK? Are you OK? The fake news was at it again. But because I missed one day of press conferences.
4:36So today I gave them about a three hour press conferences on changing the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War. OK, then Donald Trump in the Oval Office talks about grass. and he's very fascinated that grass has a life just like you have a life grass has a life grass has like four lives one two three four grass has four lives Donald Trump says the hell is going on here the hell is going on I mean that sincerely what are we watching here Here play this clip. We're going to take the broken tiles off the tunnels and put brand new tiles up. And we're going to re-grass all the parks.
5:27They're going to be re-grassed by people that build world-class golf courses and not necessarily people that work for me because I don't care about that. I just want to. I'm very good at grass. You know, grass is a life just like you have a life, right? There's a life. Well, this grass has been up longer than it's like four lives. OK, that's why there's a lot of areas where there's just no grass. But we're going to regress all of the parks. Yes, the grass has four lives, Donald. Five. Maybe it's like a kitty cat, Donald. The grass has nine lives, Donald. I mean, or we're dealing with someone who's like literally a crazy human being.
6:04And then the corporate media is like, well, Donald Trump said we've gotten$17 trillion. It's the dude who's talking about grass having four lives and grass speaking to him. that's that's the person who's running our ship into the freaking ground right now so here Donald Trump is presented with a flag during this Oval Office press conference where he announces that he will be breaking the law and on his own changing the name of the defense department to the department of war because Trump who ran as a peacetime president is now calling himself the wartime president even though he can't resolve the war in Ukraine in 24 hours and he's only caused the atrocities in Gaza to increase anymore.
6:49Anyway, as part of that press conference, Trump is handed a flag and he thinks it's his blankie. He thinks it's his blankie. Here, play this clip. Okay, Will, you go ahead. I'd like to leave you with this gift from a constituent back in Tennessee. Oh, I could use that at night. It's an American flag. That's very nice. I like that. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you very much. That's very nice. Now, setting aside these clips, this is how Donald Trump is dealing with foreign leaders and foreign adversaries. Trump is behaving like a jilted, disturbed ex-lover who has like a restraining order issued against them.
7:34Case in point, Donald Trump posts this photo of Vladimir Putin, Russia, Prime Minister Modi, India, used to be allied with the United States until Trump screwed that up by imposing 50 % tariffs on India and trying to claim that he solved the war between India and Pakistan, which he did not. Oh yeah. And then Donald Trump's family taking Pakistani crypto money and then Trump having the chief of staff, Munir, from Pakistan go into the White House. But here Trump posts Putin, Xi Jinping, and Moody. And then Trump goes, looks like we've lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest China. May they have a long and prosperous future together.

Like Donald Trump is like the 11 year old boy who's out there like ripping apart the limbs of like squirrels who you know that's a sign of being a serial killer. And Donald Trump's doing that, though, as the president of the United States, right? Like you posted a purported death video of yourself killing a fishing boat. You said there's 11 Venezuelans who are Trende Aragua gang members, by the way, which you claim, which we know they are human traffickers.
10:40You claim they're Trende Aragua. How do you know the people on the boat weren't people being human trafficked? who did you kill we don't get a report on that we just get your death video i mean you're doing isis style death videos from the official presidential account of yourself killing human beings by the way even if they were drug dealers i want to know did they have the capability of getting to the united states that boat 16 feet some have suggested maybe 24 feet regardless doesn't have the fuel to get to the united states that doesn't look like a trend day Nicaragua drug boat. It looks like a fishing boat.
11:16And then the New York Times did a story about how in 2019, Trump killed a bunch of fishermen off North Korea with SEAL Team 6 and killed a bunch of innocent fishers. So I don't, I would like to know more, but that's, but Trump's posting death videos and then posting videos. May you have a prosperous is time together. India, China, Russia, enjoy yourselves. While, by the way, Donald Trump going to cognitive and physical abilities, Trump didn't show up to the coalition of the willing meeting in Paris, not even virtually. He was supposed to go there in person. He doesn't show up virtually either.
11:58He sends Steve Whitcoff. Whitcoff starts to yell at all of the world leaders in Europe and says, you suck. You're horrible. You all buy oil from Russia. So why? We don't want to be with you. We don't want to be with the coalition of the one. Then Ursula von der Leyen, who's the president of the European Commission, is like, look, look, first off, that's not true. You want to know who buys Russian oil? Slovakia and Hungary. And Trump, you love Viktor Orban of Hungary and you love Slovakia. You sent Orban a love letter recently saying that you didn't like that Zelensky was bombing the Russian oil depots.
12:36But now you're criticizing the rest of Europe because Hungary and Slovakia are getting their oil from Russia. Well, that doesn't make any sense. Oh, but then Donald Trump's like, well, Europe is getting their oil from Russia via India. 1 % or so of all of the oil that goes to Europe does get funneled, it seems, from India into Europe. But why would that piece bother you more than the fact that Hungary and Slovakia get all of their oil directly from Russia and you support that? And China gets its oil from Russia and you support that. And Iran sends its oil to China. China you've removed the sanctions there basically then Iran Iran does its Shahid drones to Russia to kill Ukrainians and you're friendly with Russia what do you why would it bother you that you that even if you accepted it as true you're trying to you've been removing sanctions against Russia and you just stopped the European Union you rather you just stopped military aid to eastern European countries in the European Union and you said I'm not supplying you look Donald Trump's post like look at what Donald Trump's posting love photographs of himself and Putin you want to wonder why people why people say Russia Russia Russia you're posting freaking photos with Russia Russia Russia you went to Alaska and you like sucked up to Putin and you made our soldiers roll out the red carpet Russia Russia Russia you're doing it before our very eyes right now Russia bombs an American factory in western Ukraine and you don't so much as even address it You don't bat an eye.
14:17So yes, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, you freaking idiot. And then Donald Trump posts this photo, an AI image of Chris Christie and Governor Pritzker. Like that, like again, you must be cognitively addled to even find that funny. Here's Melania almost acting as a caretaker, having to whisper in Donald Trump's ear what's happening. Play this clip. After your phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky today, do you plan to speak with Russia's President Putin in the near future? What? If he will speak with President Putin in the near future. I will be. Yeah, I will be. We're having a very good dialogue.
14:55I settled seven wars. And then we saw Melania is now leading the AI initiatives at the White House. The robots, or what she sounds like, she's saying rowboats. The rowboats are here. So Trump is having her do this. What the hell? Here play this clip. Cars now steer themselves through our cities. Robots hold steady hands in the operating room. And drones are redefining the future of war. innovations of first generation humanoids factory automation and autonomous vehicles have surged from private sector investment every one of these advancements it's power by ai the robots are here our future is no longer science fiction here's another post by donald trump whining or like this is like the jilted ex-lover.
15:54May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration. Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un as you conspire against the United States of America. Why is that something that you would say? And why is that not a mess? Could you imagine If Obama posted, thank you for conspiring against us. OK, 25th Amendment impeachment tomorrow. I would support it. We're OK with this behavior or Trump lying. Look, the reason that it bugs me so much, too, when Trump says we brought in 17 trillion dollars in addition to being cognitively addled is Americans are suffering right now.
16:38Now, Donald Trump and his family made five billion dollars this past week on their crypto ventures. $5 billion on a failed, freaking on a venture, in my opinion, that was failing on a new token that they made public that's being propped up by certain people that were under SEC investigation, the Pakistani crypto fund as well, and others who want to get in Trump's good graces. But while he's doing that, he's lying and saying we've taken in$17 trillion. Let's do some basic math, Donald. If we took in$17 trillion, why did Congress have to raise the debt ceiling by$5 trillion? Why is our deficit going up right now significantly higher than it did last year under former President Biden?
17:21If we brought in 17 trillion, we should be giving health care to everyone for free, education to everyone for free. We would actually be in a golden age. But you are a two bit vile piece of trash fraudster. Here he is saying we've taken it in. Play this clip. Because without the tariffs, this country is in serious, serious trouble. We've taken in almost$17 trillion of investment is coming in. Most of it is coming because of tariffs. And if for some reason somebody wanted to be politically correct, I actually think it's unpolitically correct. And then at that bizarre press conference or whatever event he held last night, he said, we are investing the$17 trillion into our country.
18:01And there are adults, Republican adults in Congress and the Senate at this, at the old Rose Garden, which Trump now calls Club Rose Garden, like what, the Kit Kat Club that you freaking met Melania in back in 1996? What is the Club Rose Garden? You're sitting on some freaking concrete area that used to be the Rose Garden, and you're telling adult people that are there that you are investing$17 trillion. Why not just go with 17 trillion, trillion gabajillion just make up numbers, a hundred patrillion patrillion dollar. I mean, it's the stupidest thing. You're not investing 17 trillion. And then you have adults that are like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:45It's why I do feel, you know, it's like Gavin Newsom posted this, and I've been saying this. It's like some zombified White Walker stuff. Crap. Like, what do these adults do? Who behaves like this? Here, play this clip where he says he's investing it. Play this clip. But I'm really happy when you see almost$17 trillion will be invested in this country over the next few months, actually. You're not investing it because it doesn't exist. There's not$17 trillion. There's not$1 trillion. There's no trade deals. Show me the piece of paper where another country, for real, anybody, show me a piece of paper where another country signed on the dotted line of a trade deal.
19:26I would like to read a signed binding agreement. Show me, show me it. It doesn't exist. And actual serious adults in the United States who run businesses are getting, and this is why I'm angry, are getting screwed by this cognitively, physically decomposing, vile piece of crap in the Oval Office who is humiliating our country every single day. It annoys me. I don't have sympathy for what he's going. I don't give a crap. This guy needs to go. And this whole regime needs to go. This whole era in American history is, it's a shameful time to be an American because of these decrepit, bizarre, weak human beings.
