Just when you thought Mother's Day craziness couldn't get worse, Donald Trump comes into the picture and he shows us again and again he is an insane person. Kylie, bring us up to speed on what's going on Mother's Day.
Kylie
Well, obviously Trump can't help but only talk about himself on Mother's Day. So we've got this Daily Beast headline says Trump celebrates Mother's Day by rage posting about his enemies of course. And then if you look at this photo that Ryan put together, it just shows a stark contrast between a real politician or just a real person in general. Barack Obama said wishing all the moms out there a wonderful Mother's Day to Michelle, I'm grateful for all the ways you've shown up for our daughters and our families and Trump is incapable of doing that. I think he posted something about Trump derangement syndrome. He lied about the economy being amazing,
Pumps
etc pictures of how great he was. I'm sure they were homoerotic in some way. I mean 100 every time. I mean this is what a sick I am. Every time we have an occasion like Easter or Christmas or Thanksgiving, I go to Obama and Biden's posts and I go to Trump's post just to reaffirm how completely unhinged he is. Like if I ever thought for a minute he's got his shit together, all I have to do is go to those holidays.
Ryan
Well, and it's just he's clearly projecting again his insecurities because he knows how much Joe loves Joe Biden, how much Barack loves Michelle Obama, and he knows how much Melania hates him and that's why he didn't post anything about her.
Pumps
That's part
Kylie
okay. And then also over the weekend we know JD Vance has just been face planting. Everything he goes to has been a failure. Everyone who's endorsed hasn't won. So over the weekend, an Iowa lobbyist was caught offering 100 cash payments plus referral bonuses to help pack JD Vance's Des Moines rally this weekend. So he is now having to pay people to come listen to him speak.
Pumps
I actually read at this same. I guess it was the same booster. Maybe it was a different one that you got. If you got 25 people to go, you got a $500 bonus. I mean, that's how desperate we are. And I know we had one in Oklahoma City, and It was like 200,000 for this seat. If you wanted a picture, it was another hundred thousand. And I. There was a part of me that wanted to post up in the parking lot just to see who all was coming, but I didn't because I'm, you know, I'm. I'm a grown up. But I just thought. I just don't think that many people are dying to spend, you know, $250,000 to get a picture with J.D. vance because it has been nothing but nose plant, nose plant, nose plant.
Kylie
He's struggling to fill out free tickets to USA events.
Ryan
And we saw how empty the crowd was when Erica Kirk ditched him. And I think it was Georgia State.
Pumps
Georgia campus.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah. University of Georgia campus. And it's just so funny because this is exactly what Trump accused Kamala of doing in the 2024 election. He said, oh, they're busing people into the rallies. You know, I think it was like, you know, they're busing immigrants into the rallies to fill up the crowd. Meanwhile, you can't even get. You can't even pay people $100 to show up at a JD Vance rally.
Pumps
That's what's interesting about the Republicans. Like, they're so devious and have zero ability to want something that doesn't give them something back. That's not just totally transactional with someone. It's like, they're paying for votes. Then you're like, oh, they're paying for votes. Kamala Harris is busing people into her rallies and paying them. It's like, oh. Because you just don't. A normal person doesn't think that. But all of these people who clearly are not, quote, unquote, normal, they do all this shit.
Ryan
Speaking of pathetic.
Kylie
Speaking of not normal, Trump unveiled. He had a new golden statue put up of him this weekend.
Pumps
Russia.
Kylie
Right? So this was up at his. Is it a golf course in Miami?
Ryan
Yeah, his golf course in Miami, Darrell.
Kylie
Okay, here's a video.
Trump (via clip)
We love you all, and the country's doing great, and Iran is not doing good because of us. They are not doing well at all. And good things are happening. And I just want to really give you my love. And I wish I could be there where we want to make sure everything's going perfect during the war.
Kylie
And that's Trump calling in. Is it Trump calling in, like, clips.
Pumps
Oh, that was a call in, huh?
Ryan
Yeah.
Pumps
The statute doesn't just play over and over about how great he is, because I would. I would not.
Ryan
I would not be surprised by that.
Pumps
Here's the deal. How tiny and insecure are you that you know on some level, in the deep, dark corners of your mind that your legacy after you are out of office is going to be so terrible that you have to, you know, construct an arch, build a ballroom, put a statue of yourself up. And I just. The gold obsession, I don't know what that is because he was born into a very wealthy family. Why he had gold toilets in the 80s, I still don't get it. But this is the. I mean, first of all, it didn't even look like him. I mean, not that statues are really great, but it's much skinnier with no hair, with cankles out to here, like, shut up.
Ryan
No, I mean, it's straight out of North Korea. It is. It really is. And so this statue was actually. Thankfully, the American taxpayers are not paying for this statue, so this statue was funded by a bunch of crypto bros who, you know, Trump got together to partner to launch a meme coin. So they launched this meme coin, and then shortly after, Trump launched his own meme coin, which then tanked their meme coin.
Pumps
Right.
Ryan
Of course, because classic Trump playbook. He's not gonna, you know, let anyone profit more than he will. And so it. I mean, it's just. And there's a bunch of, you know, MAGA pastors praying at the statue and everyone on Twitter.
ZipRecruiter Announcer
What?
Kylie
So, yeah, a bunch of pastors got together to, like, literally pray at the statue. And one of them even had to tweet, and he said, like, this is not. What is it? The golden idol calf situation from the Bible.
Pumps
Right.
Kylie
He had to tweet that. And when you have to say that, it's because that's exactly what it is.
Pumps
Okay, here's the deal. I. I don't remember a lot from Sunday school and Bible study, but I do know that one of the commandments is, thou shalt not put any other idols before me. And they have just latched onto Trump as their biggest idol in the whole world. I mean, that is so repulsive. And on the crypto Bros. He just pardoned a huge crypto bro. And every time I hear it was paid for by private donors, I think of the ballroom, and then I think of how much money Trump has stolen from the United States taxpayer. And I just seek. I cannot fucking wait for the audit. I cannot wait for the audit.
Ryan
Well, that's true. I mean, we can't really believe anything. So I shouldn't defend it.
Pumps
Well, I mean, that's what they're saying. That's what they said about the ballroom. And now it's on a writer and a law like a billion dollars.
Ryan
It's crazy.
Kylie
The sculptor of this statue actually spoke out. This is a Daily Beast headline. It says, the sculptor of the 22 foot. If you're watching, it's a photo of his face. It's very alarming. Says the sculptor of the 22 foot golden statue. He was told to get rid of the turkey neck and make the president thinner.
Pumps
Well, I mean, we knew that was going to happen.
Kylie
There is red. I also read that the statue is not actually real gold. It's gold leafed and it's bronze on the inside.
Pumps
Because he's fake. Everything he does is fake. Here's the thing on this, we saw when his fat old ass went in to turn himself into Fulton County. We know he wears lifts. We know he wears shoulder pads. We can tell objectively by looking at him, he's fatter than a pig. I mean, morbidly obese. We know that he's not that tall. And he comes out and he had the exact same. What was like 6, 3, 215 pounds or something. And it was like, okay, this is. And I think it was like Chris Hemsworth, who is like, objectively gorgeous and chiseled. It's just like, nobody believes that. So him rolling out a thinner, no, turkey neck statue with lots of hair. I believe all of that. That they made him do it.
Ryan
When I actually, I noted one of the quotes from the sculptor in the article, he said, quote, this was a clusterfuck. I usually deal with people that have everything organized from the start. Folks, you're gonna make me laugh. From the start, this was chaos. Almost never anytime whatsoever does anyone miss a payment. Because I always do what I say I'll do, and the patron always does what they say they're going to. And clearly this was not the case for these crypto bros that paid for the statue.
Pumps
Here's the deal. If you go back on, if you deep dive Trump, his MO Was that he would hire a contractor to do a job and then not pay him.
Ryan
Exactly.
Pumps
Pay him and not pay him and try to reduce the bill. Like 30% was mandatory. He had to reduce it 30% or he would never pay it. And if you wouldn't, he would let you take him to court. Well, he had more money, so people went broke. So this does not surprise me even a little bit. But he's for the working man.
Kylie
Sure. All right, Ryan, you want to queue up? What's going on with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy?
Ryan
Sure. So Sean Duffy made a Fox News appearance on over the weekend with his wife, Rachel Camposafi, who is a Fox News host. And they announced a really exciting new venture that is coming out soon. Kylie, play the clip.
Sean Duffy
I want to lean into America's 250th birthday. Rachel and I actually met on a road trip on a reality TV show. And so over the course of seven months, we just kind of found these moments where I might be able to do some work. I could take the kids with me. Do a road trip.
Trump (via clip)
Oh, yeah.
Sean Duffy
And our motto is to love America is to see America. And there's so much to see in this beautiful country. We did that with our family. The president kicked us off, as you're seeing right now. We went to the Oval with the kids, by the way, that the kids were.
Pumps
This enrages me. I am livid over this. Okay, first of all, Sean Duffy and his wife give me the absolute jeeps, the matching outfits for the whole family. That gives me the jeeps, the ick, whatever you want to call it. He is the secretary of Transportation. During his tenure, we have had a complete back at before any of the TSA staff. We do not have enough air traffic controllers for flights to fly safely. I think this went over seven, seven months that he, he's on a road trip we had. And I, there's two reports on this. I saw 188 fatalities killed in air traffic crashes. And then another report said 60. So you have between 60 and 188 dead people because of air travel. And this motherfucker and his ugly ass family are running around going, saying how to be America, to know America, you have to love America. You have to see America. Like, shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Oh, and just, I mean, just a little. What Trump has done to the budgets of the forestry department and national parks is unbelievable. So if you love America, you fund America, you fund people with health care, you fund people that go to national parks so that they can be safe. You don't fund this dipshit and his dipshit wife in the matching clothes to go. And first of all, who gets seven months on the federal dime to go make a road trip video?
Ryan
I mean, and in addition to that, all the you said pumps. This occurred while two record setting back to back government shutdowns happened while TSA workers weren't being paid. So you know, it might be nice. I think he said something like, oh, there's nothing better than getting on the road like in a car. It's like gas prices are hitting like four year highs right now.
Pumps
So you might want to in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, one of the cheapest places to live in the whole world for obvious reasons. It was $4.60 a gallon. So I cannot even imagine what it is in other places.
Kylie
We've actually got a response here from Chasten Buddha judge on the issue. He says yes, the same duffies who threw endless fits on national television when Pete was working from our son's ICU bedside are now bragging about their multi month taxpayer funded family road trip while gas and grocery prices soar for American families because of Trump's war of ch. How much more unfocused, unserious and out of touch can you be?
Pumps
Well, I mean he could be Trump. That's worse.
Kylie
They're all just reality TV stars that want to be reality TV stars again. Trump is literally bringing back the Apprentice. This guy was naked on the Real World on mtv and they just want, that's all that they care about.
Pumps
Erica Kirk was on a reality show.
Kylie
She was on Summer House. Yeah, yeah.
Ryan
And shout out to Chasten because he does all of the, you know, calling out that Pete can't really do as a, you know, a public figure. And he always has his back.
Pumps
And remember the meltdown they had when he took, when Pete Buttigieg took paternity leave while working from home.
Ryan
I mean, you're talking to the right people.
Pumps
Pumps rages me. I am just the double standard. And like, okay, I'm going to wrap it up because I know nobody likes me to talk about Caroline Lovett, but I'm just going to say she and her 33 years older than her husband just had their second baby. She will be taking three months of paid leave while she has, you know, has this newborn, which I'm glad she has that opportunity because she works for the federal government. But if you have an hourly wage job at Walmart or for Amazon, tough titties, you don't get any paid leave. You don't even get insurance So I spare me the outrage about all of these people that won't have kids because you cannot have a kid if you do not have financial stability.
Ryan
Well, and they want you to have kids if you're young and conservative. They don't want you to have kids if you're gay. You know,
Pumps
you have to be watching, too. I mean, we don't. I mean, that is the numero uno. Absolutely. You have to be straight. Allegedly. Okay, let's be clear about the facts. America began as a rebellion against monarchy and against divine rule, and the Founders followed that by creating a secular constitution. No religious tests, no state religion, and a clear separation between church and state. That's the design. But today we're seeing efforts to blur that line, including that America Praise event on May 17 where government and religion intersected in ways that made me mad as hell.

Kylie
response to all the hate he's been getting. He tweeted this the radical miserable left has noticed our awesome Great American Road Trip trailer and they Hate it. It's too wholesome, it's too patriotic, and it's too joyful.
Pumps
Sean, that's not why we hate it, okay? You missed the mark on that. What we hate is that you are double diffing off the taxpayer. What we hate is that people died in air traffic accidents while you were secretary and you've done nothing. What they hate is their flights getting canceled because we don't have enough air traffic controllers. And maybe if you would have taken a paid leave, you could have paid for an air traffic controller in your absence. You stupid.
Ryan
Yeah, I don't. I don't even have. And we don't have even have to dignify that with a response. I mean, it's just such a.
Pumps
These people are so stupid. They think we're jealous of Sean Duffy in his road trip. Shut the up. Yuck. Nobody can afford a road trip, Sean, because gas is over $5. Okay, I'm. I'm done ranting.
Kylie
I like it. All right, Ryan, what's next?
Ryan
Okay, next we have an earnings report from Trump Media. Let's see what it is. Trump Media, parent of Truth Social, reports Q1 sales of 871,405.9 million, net loss. So apparently, this is the price that you pay to run your own personal propaganda platform. And what's interesting to me about this, you're not hearing anyone being fired from Trump Media. So, you know, that, you know, to
Pumps
Trump, it's probably worth the price, in my opinion.
Ryan
Well, and probably that, too.
Pumps
Okay, here's the thing. I've been on the. I mean, I've been on the ground floor. Kylie can tell you this. I have followed Truth Social stock, like, from day one. And from day one, the people that went in and were like, you know, Trump's a great businessman, so I'm gonna. I'm gonna make a ton of money. They have lost their asses hand over fist since day one. This company has never turned a profit. It. Trump has always cashed out. Trump's fate, you know, he's always made a fuck ton of money, but the investors in it have lost life savings, 401ks that they took out. It truly is stunning. And if we had a decent sec, it would have been investigated during the Biden administration and then certainly now. But these numbers are nothing new. He has always lost gazillions of dollars, and I mean, like, hundreds of millions of dollars with this company. So in my mind, which, granted, I'm not an economist, I just look a little bit like money laundering to me.
Ryan
I mean, pumps. I think you're right, because. No, no normal company operates around numbers.
Pumps
And this has been going on since. So it's been going on for years. This kind of these losses.
Kylie
But that's his signature move with his businesses.
Pumps
I can bankrupt you.
Kylie
And somehow he always ends up on his feet.
Pumps
Yeah. Oh. Always smelling like a rose. Although.
Kylie
Do you want to close this out?
Pumps
All right. So have a wonderful Monday. That's just a little bit of the tidbits we're working on here at IHIP News. Please subscribe. Like come back. And do not forget to pre order. Jennifer's book, Not Today Fascist, comes out in October. And we will be back with more news.
