Foreign president Donald Trump is having major dementia relapses. He's always bringing out his greatest hits. And one of the things that he's most confused about is the difference between an insane asylum and those seeking asylum. And he went off about Hannibal Lecter just again yesterday. Play the clip.

Number of deportations. We're bringing criminals out by the thousands. Nobody can even imagine. They let people in that were murderers. 11,888 murderers, gang members, people from mental institutions. And insane asylum. You know what that is? That's insane asylum. That's a mental institution on steroids. During the campaign, I talk about the late, great Hannibal Lecter. Do you know who that is? Hannibal Lecter, Silence of the Lambs. I'd talk about it and the fake news would go crazy. Why does he keep mentioning. Well, because we wanted a landslide. That's why. They don't want to have. They don't want to have Hannibal in our midst. And today I signed this bill.

Okay, this makes no sense. From start to finish, this is what psychiatrists called the flight of ideas. And of course, the news spoke about the candidate for the President of the United States, a former President of the United States, bringing up a fictional character as though he were real and, and lended credibility to immigration policy. That is insane. And the fact that he's still doing this and it has just washed down the political cycle. And you had CNN that spent an obscene amount of time talking about Joe Biden. And Trump does this all day, every day with impunity and is authorizing planes to fly to Iran to bomb them. And the media's part in this coup of the United States government is just unforgivable. It is absolutely unforgivable. But here he goes again, completely lying and gaslighting the American public about his big ugly bill.

And also cut costs. We're cutting $1.7 trillion in this bill and you're not going to feel any of it. And your Medicaid is left alone. It's left the same. Your Medicare and your Social are strengthened. We're not cutting. The Democrats are going to destroy all three of them because it's not sustainable. They'll end up cutting your Medicare, Medicaid in half.

Okay? Every single thing he said from start to finish is a total lie. His big ugly bill is going to cut all of the following things. Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, Social Security. And the Republicans have had a hard on to do this for decades. Now they just have an administration that is sociopathic and psychopathic. Empathic enough to do it. And it's amazing how indoctrinated so many in the American public are that when they hear a candidate speak out for wage equality, that they get angry about that. Think about that. With the mayoral race in New York, you have a candidate that speaks out about wage equality and raising the minimum wage and better access to transportation, and you have millions of working class Americans that get mad about that because they would rather curry favor with billionaires. So it's just utterly insane. This big, ugly bill is wildly unpopular. But another thing that Trump does that he rarely gets called out on in corporate media is he Jewish signals. He signals to Jewish people as though he is going to be a protector of them and that he has Jewish Jewish interests at heart. And there's no question that he has Benjamin Netanyahu's government at heart. And he wants Benjamin Netanyahu to get a complete pass on his upcoming trial. But you need to remember that inside the MAGA Party, Trump defended the Nazis that marched at Charleston, Trump's boat parades in Florida. They have Nazi flags, the January 6th insurrection, all sorts of Nazi and Holocaust references. And most importantly, he pardoned a violent criminal that wore a T shirt that said Camp Auschwitz on it. Camp Auschwitz, where millions of Jewish people were burned and denied due process and sentenced to a cruel and wicked death because of a fascist authoritarian regime. And Trump thinks that, I guess we're all so stupid that he can come out and act like he is this big protector of Jews and that the Republican Party is a safe place for Jewish people. Meanwhile, it is a hotbed of anti Semitism from top to bottom. And he pardons a violent criminal that makes light of aitz. And here he is trying to Jewish signal and demean Chuck Schumer, who is not my favorite senator. But nonetheless, this is not the way a president should speak about the first Jewish leader in the Senate. Play the clip.
