The blow hard Felon President of the United States of America laid an egg in the form of a grenade on the global economies and then packed his toys up and went to go play golf with human rights violators and sports washing Saudi Arabia. Here's a picture of Trump out of drag at Mar A Lago. The Lincoln Project says this raised prices and ruined your retirement savings. And now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend. And if there has ever been a strong case for drag, that image right there shows you the power of drag. And even when he's in drag, it doesn't even begin to touch the artistry and the fabulousness of all of the drag queens globally. But I mean, he looks like hammered dog shit. He looks like what he did to the global economy. He is a disgrace, an embarrassment, a con man. And shame on every single American that voted for this lying sack of shit con that you couldn't see it, or that your racism prevented you from seeing.

It, or that you didn't take the time to check, find out what you were voting for. I look at that fat ass and I think every time you go play golf, it's millions and millions of dollars of American taxpayer money. And we've got Elon Musk, the Department of Government Efficiency. I'll tell you what's efficient. Don't get your fat ass out to play golf with the Saudis on a weekend. I mean, he's played more golf than I've ever seen in my life.

And see, I'm not one of these that cares about that so much. They always do that when Obama was president or when Biden was president. Biden's in Delaware on the beach. You know what? You want to take the weekend off, fine. But there are certain things that presidents have to do. And he was supposed to be receiving the remains of soldiers fallen in abroad in Lithuania. And he doesn't do it because he doesn't care. Next up, let me tell you how this man spends his evenings. Put this headline up, a sobering reality for Trump as he rages at night to friends about negative press. And so Kylie, please play it. This is MAGA men. This is what he does. He decided he wanted to run for President of the United States. And then when he gets to the position that he wants, he whines and cries like a whiny little bitch. I have never seen a bigger little bitch than Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the right wing media. They are perpetual victims in sustained martyrdom. It is so insane. I mean, you're President, the United States, you screwed everything up in 70 something days and you want to call your friends and gossip and play victim at the, in the middle of the night, put on your big boy britches over your diaper and take some accountability for the you've done. But he, everything has to come easy to this guy or he just comes apart at the seams.

Isn't it so interesting that the President of the United States, who has so much power that he's wrecking the entire global economy, economy, NATO, the whole nine, he's crying about negative press. What about worrying about how this is going to affect farmers and laborers? No, he's crying about what the press are saying about him. What a titty baby.
Political Commentator 1
This man doesn't care about human beings. He doesn't even care about humanity. He cares about his ego because he's so broken, like an incredibly broken person. And he attracted other broken people that have a fundamental problem with facts. They have a very difficult time processing facts. And then they decide let's make up our own facts. And it's just insane. And I just think we would be best off if Congress would act. I know they won't, but this is my pipe dream. Just tell him and all of his whack job cabinet people, we're going to give you Florida. It's going to be your own country. Mar A Lago is going to be like your White House and just let them all run Florida into the ground, move the entire operation of Mar a Lago and then we'll be 49 states. Let's just do that because this is an absolute failure. All right, next up, you guys, Scott Besant already wants to quit his job, per msnbc. Trump's Treasury Secretary is looking for an exit door after two months on the job. And so let me give you a little history of this man, he used to work for Soros. He. Now he knows the market, right? He spent his whole decades, his whole adult life in the market. This is what happens sometimes, I think, with really wealthy people. They let their wealth fool them into believing that they're geniuses and that they know more than experts and expertise and history in their fields. And he talked himself into all this tariff stuff with all these other whack jobs, and it is a stage five disaster. Kramer on CNBC is saying that he thinks this is going to be a crash, that what we've seen so far is just the appetizer, the entree and the dessert are coming. And the Dow, the S and P are in the shitter. And this guy knows, oh, shit, this sounded fun on paper. It was fun workshopping this. And now hellfire is being rained down on the global economies and this guy knows better. So what is he going to do? Pack his toys up and run away?
Political Commentator 2
It's just coward after coward after coward. Why weren't you the one fighting against these tariffs? Because I've seen him all over the news, just lips, suction cupped to Trump's. To Trump's tariffs idea. So now, because it's a terrible idea and he wouldn't listen to experts, he's going to run away because he's a coward. They're all such cowards.

And the level of hubris and delusion, of grandeur in which they operate, enabled by this myth that rich people are smart and rich people know better. And it is just such bullshit. There are genuine experts that have done the grit, done the hard work, studied and grinded for decades, and you could get a whole group of them together. If you're President of the United States, you could get the best economist this world has to offer, and you could get them all in a room and roundtable and workshop and scramble jets and figure out, is this the right thing to do? And you could get really good advice. But instead, these guys are like, we're 10 foot tall and bulletproof. We're gonna up and then we're gonna be the heroes. And it's. I mean, you're listening to Elon Musk, Ketamine dork fest. I mean, the biggest dork I've ever seen in my life, this guy. And they're all billionaires. They have no idea what groceries are. They have no idea that genuine people are reliant upon their Social Security, what little amounts they get, 1500, 1600. And if that is taken away from them, they are in a world of hurt, losing Their home, losing shelter. And this is how we're treating the people that helped build this country. This is the moral calling to vote for Trump. If you're a Christian, to then just over all these people that are your fellow citizens. It's just abhorrent. Next up, I want to show you an interesting chart on billionaires. One of these men did not attend the inauguration. So we have Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg all down. They've all lost billions of dollars. They all kissed the ring. They all immediately went and kissed Trump's ass. Particularly Jeff Bezos spiked the football and he wouldn't let his Washington Post endorse Kamala Harris. Elon Musk, you've all seen what a shit show disaster that's been. Mark Zuckerberg going on, Rogan talking about being neutered. I cannot believe that anybody would ever say such a thing, especially when he's a billionaire. I mean, it's just so stupid. Warren Buffett, however, this man has always spoken out about how wrong it is that he has the amount of money that he has and that he hates it that the middle class is shrinking. He saw the writing on the wall. He got out of the stock market and his net worth is up 23.4 billion because he played the long game. We warned you on this, this podcast and on this newscast that these billionaires were being very short sighted, that they were kissing the ring and they weren't playing the tape through target short sighted. All of these companies incredibly short sighted because they just are impulsive, because they don't have conviction. When you have conviction, you get, you stand for what you believe in and it doesn't change ever. Not no matter who you're talking to, no matter what you're doing in your life, you always live with that conviction. The reason Trump won is because so many people pretend to have conviction. They pretend to be these big tough guys, they pretend to have principle, but they don't, as evidenced by our billionaire chart.
Political Commentator 2
That billionaire chart makes me so very happy. I would like to see Elon Musk's continue to go down and I would also like to see Jeff Bezos continuing to go down. Like, I'm not only mad at him for all the stuff that he's done about going to the inauguration, but the Melania documentary is just repulsive. The Washington Post repulsive. These men beware of the nerds because they will come back and bite you in the ass. They have never been popular and now they've done the, oh, we're going to be so popular because we like Donald Trump. And here we are. Good for them. I'm glad they're losing money.

And all three of them lie and tell you that they are for free speech. And that is the biggest myth and that is the biggest lie. Jeff Bezos and what he has done at the Washington Post is very fascist and it's very antithetical to democratic ideals and to free speech. The same with Zuckerberg. What he's done with Facebook, what he's done with Meta. And of course, Elon Musk, free speech absolutist. Only if it's lies, that he's somehow a great guy. Otherwise, you know, he's gaming the algorithm. These guys cherry pick what they want to believe in, when they want to believe it, and don't give a about the people that they live around. All right, next up, we have the dumbest tweet of 2024. Trump tweeted, If Kamala wins, you are 3 days away from the start of a 1929 style economic depression. If I win, you are 3 days away from the best jobs, the biggest paychecks, and the brightest economic future the world has ever seen. I wonder, you guys, I mean, did people actually believe him? They did.
Political Commentator 2
They absolutely did. And you hear, you know, in the very beginning, when the farmers start, well, we didn't think he'd really do it. He's really going to do all of it because he doesn't care.

All right, lastly, another day, another MAGA sexual predator put this up. We have UK police charged disgraced comedian and actor turned MAGA personality Russell Brand with five counts of rape and sexual assault. And in the image up in this tweet, of course, he has a red Trump hat that says, make Jesus first again. And this reminds me of growing up as a little girl in a secular home in Oklahoma City. And my mother telling me, the bigger, the more outspoken, the Christian, the more up they are. But of course, my mother didn't use the word. All right, please subscribe to our channel. And we're trying to get to 1 million. Come on, guys, we can do it. Boost our show. We're really making a lot of good headway in that and we'll see you all later.

Episode Title: Trump Looks Wrecked After Hiding Out From Disaster Backlash
Introduction
In this episode of IHIP News, progressive hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan dive deep into the tumultuous aftermath of former President Donald Trump's recent controversies. Navigating through political mishaps, economic repercussions, and the interplay of power among billionaires, the hosts deliver a spirited critique laced with their signature comedic flair.
Trump’s Public Image and Actions
The episode opens with a scathing analysis of Donald Trump's current standing. The hosts discuss a particularly mocking image of Trump in drag at Mar-a-Lago, symbolizing their disdain for his leadership and its impact on the global economy.
Jennifer Welch criticizes Trump's economic policies, stating, “[02:04]...He looks like what he did to the global economy. He is a disgrace, an embarrassment, a con man.” She further condemns his disregard for presidential duties, highlighting his absence during critical moments meant to honor fallen soldiers.
Angie Sullivan points out Trump's obsession with public perception over substantive governance: “[04:10]...crying about negative press. What about worrying about how this is going to affect farmers and laborers? No, he's crying about what the press are saying about him.”
The hosts emphasize Trump's alleged negligence in fulfilling presidential responsibilities, contrasting his actions unfavorably with those of previous administrations.
Economic Impact and Policy Failures
A significant portion of the discussion centers on Trump's economic mishandlings and their ramifications.
Jennifer Welch elaborates on the detrimental effects of Trump's tariffs and financial decisions: “[06:50]...he let his wealth fool him into believing that he's a genius and that he knows more than experts...” She criticizes the administration's lack of expertise and foresight, leading to economic instability reflected in declining stock markets.
Angie Sullivan reinforces this by highlighting the disconnect between Trump's policies and the real-world consequences for everyday Americans: “[12:23]...they just are impulsive, because they don't have conviction.”
The duo underscores the perilous state of the global economy under Trump's influence, citing declining indices like the Dow and S&P as evidence of broader systemic failures.
Critique of Billionaire Influence in Politics
Jennifer and Angie shift focus to the role of billionaires in politics, specifically targeting figures like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg.
Jennifer Welch contrasts these individuals with Warren Buffett, praising Buffett's ethical stance on wealth disparities: “[10:36]...Warren Buffett, however, this man has always spoken out about how wrong it is that he has the amount of money that he has...”
Angie Sullivan expresses satisfaction over the financial struggles of these billionaires, viewing it as a form of accountability: “[10:36]...I would also like to see Jeff Bezos continuing to go down... Good for them. I'm glad they're losing money.”
The hosts argue that these billionaires prioritize personal gain over democratic ideals, manipulating platforms and policies to their advantage while neglecting the needs of the general populace.
Trump’s Rhetoric and Public Statements
The episode delves into Trump's provocative statements and their implications for public trust and economic stability.
Jennifer Welch critiques Trump's stark ultimatum regarding the economy: “[12:33]...If Kamala wins, you are 3 days away from the start of a 1929 style economic depression. If I win, you are 3 days away from the best jobs, the biggest paychecks, and the brightest economic future the world has ever seen.”
Angie Sullivan questions the believability of Trump's claims, noting that many initially supported his aggressive policies without fully understanding the potential fallout: “[12:23]...they did.”
The hosts highlight the detrimental effects of such rhetoric, which they argue undermines democratic processes and instills unnecessary fear among voters.
Conclusion
Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan wrap up the episode by reiterating their disapproval of Trump's leadership and the broader implications of billionaire influence in politics. They advocate for accountability and informed voting as essential steps toward restoring integrity and stability in both national and global arenas.
