You may remember over the weekend, Trump had to go to the dentist this unplanned health visit. And he held an event at the White House after this visit where he seems to be falling asleep again. Let's play the clip. Okay, here he is standing up, completely falling asleep because that's how boring and uninteresting and just horrible the people in his administration are. He can fall asleep standing up. And it also sparked concerns about the clearest signs of his dementia yet. Let's play the clip.

Like we have a war right now and went to like, what, six weeks? They said, what's taking so long? We were in Vietnam 19 years. We're in Iraq for many years. 10.

Political Commentator 1
All right, I've heard enough. I've heard enough. We are in week 10 and the commander in chief saying we're in week six when he has been sleeping for the last four weeks for sure. We have video graphic evidence day after day after day. And then this is just. Everybody just goes on in this country. It's just wild and such a disgrace that so many people who know better, who used to have some bit of a spine have completely debased and devalued themselves for that guy, that guy who, who appears drunk. I mean, he appears like he's slurring all the time. It's just, oh my gosh, you know what?

The only time he's awake in his cabinet meetings is when they're praising him and when they start Talking about anything other than how great he is, it's like, lights out, sleepy Joe Biden, really, like you have the balls to do that. And I think it is hysterical that everybody around that you just said everybody

Political Commentator 1
around him is so boring. Yes. To say are there's not one person, administration that says anything interesting, that says anything thought provoking. It is just this ridiculous la la land that they live in where they attribute that this guy that we've all seen is somehow competent, that he can be the leader of the United States of America and he can command the military. It's just, it's such a disgrace. It is such an absolute disgrace. And we have this man who is actively committing suicide of our country every single day. In all of these uninteresting dipshits, like that girl Loeffler, she's like, she's got a bank account that could choke a bull. What is she doing with her money? Kissing the ass of this dipshit. It became clear that Trump's advisors are not being honest with him about what Americans think of the war. Let's play the clip with everything.

Political Commentator 2
But they said 32% of the people are against President Trump. Well, when you explain it like, is it okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon? It wouldn't be 32%. But even if you said that there'd be a 32% because the polls are fake,
- [04:32]
Political Commentator 1
what are we doing here? You know, like, seriously, what. Every day this goes on and I'll turn on cable news because a lot of people kind of still are programmed to get their news that way. So I'll turn it on kind of as an ambient background noise. And it rarely ever talks about this diminished intellectual and physical decline of this man. And we have a Pentagon that's lying to the American public about what's happening. We appear to be carrying out the wishes of a foreign government, Israel. What they want, they want to Balkanize Iran. None of this, none of this benefits any American. It certainly doesn't benefit the first time voters that came out in droves because they believe that this man saw them and they believed that he was going to deliver something for them. That this man had a big piece of the American pie and he was going to slice up some more pieces and serve it to them. It's just, what, what are we doing here?
- [05:35]
Political Commentator 3
You know, it's just he gets up there, he I, it just drives me crazy. He gets up there and he bungles the whole presentation about the polls anyway. But he knows they're against him, but he can't understand why. And then he's like, goes back to his default setting. Anything that said that's not flattering about me is fake news. And I just think about how he has been saying this for over a decade and now we're in a situation where 30% of the US population completely denies reality because this man says it's fake. I mean, and that I can't wait for the studies and the documentary of that, that for 10 years he's been lying to these people, they believe it and all he has to do is say fake news and people completely divorce themselves from reality.
- [06:29]
Political Commentator 1
Yeah, but here's the thing. The documentary isn't going to reveal anything new that we already don't know about cults. This is you, you and I have watched cult documentaries for years, Angie, and there's no new information here. This is a classic cult, a fascistic cult. That's what it is. There's not going to be any new reveal. It's going to be this is the leader loyalty at all costs and, and so on. There's, there's not going to be any difference between this and the people that go to these evangelical mega churches every day and don't critically think and are told you have to have faith. Only Trump can fix it. Only Jesus can fix it. It's the same thing. It's a story as old as time. These people are incapable of critical thinking and operate from a very fear based position. And he actually seems to think that energy prices are going down. Let's play the clip.
- [07:25]
Political Commentator 2
Except we were, everybody was wrong. They thought that energy would be at $300, right? $300 a barrel. And it's like at 100 and I think going down.

Political Commentator 1
So he doesn't even know what he's talking about. And the horrible thing about this is that so many people are paying double what they used to pay for gas. And this is a time period in the United States where income disparity is at an all time high. And when people are living paycheck to paycheck and they're still having to drive the same amount of, of distances to get to work, to get to daycares, to get to school, et cetera, and all of a sudden that's double. There's just a lot of suffering there. This man has never pumped, I guarantee you he has never taken the gas nozzle and put it in a car and looked at what the amount is. He has no clue. This man didn't know what groceries were and he thought it was an antique. Word, an old fashioned word, groceries. This man is so out of touch, but it shows you why. Why did so many people clamor onto him? Why did so many people fall for this demagogue con man? Because both parties have left working class Americans in the dust. And he came in and messaged in a very con artist, opportunistic way and told them, I'm going to fix this. And spoke fifth grade. He speaks at a fifth grade speaking level in a very plain spoken way. He simplified his lies and said, I'm going to fix everything on day one. Where have they hear that shit before? Oh, at their mega churches. All you have to do is say, jesus, please forgive me, and nobody cares that you, you know, pulled a train with your church staff. It's just, you know, it's just, it's, it's really, really sad because there's so much American suffering right now. People cannot afford this. Our country cannot afford these billionaires. Our country cannot afford to have this man ripping it to shreds with an assist from the Supreme Court and all of these industry titans. It's just disgusting.

I don't want to put too fine a point on it, but he's, he said the barrels of energy like dumb. It's oil. It. You can't, it's just, I can't even imagine how, how stupid he is. He is so stupid.
- [09:56]
Political Commentator 1
All right, and then we have Trump on the campaign. Here's his campaign promise on energy prices when he was on the campaign trail. Play the clip.
- [10:07]
Political Commentator 2
My plan will cut energy prices in half or more than that within 12 months of taking office. It will be an economic revival of our country like no one has ever seen before. Energy was what caused our problem initially. Energy is going to bring us back. That means we're going down and getting gasoline below $2 a gallon. Bring.

Political Commentator 1
Okay, that back there. It said the Economic Club of New York. I don't know anything about them, but I just. When autopsy is done on this, I get why the cultists went there. That's a story as old as time. All of these institutions that are supposed to value facts and data and the truth so that each generation takes those truths and they have this baseline and then we can get better and progress forward and forward that has allowed this regressive, lying con artist to stand up there and speak like a fourth grader. I'm going to get the gas Prices lower in 12 months. Okay, how? Well, of course you didn't. In record time. You did what every Republican president before you has done. Lied. Lied. To workingclass people said that wealth will trickle down. It never does. Started wars. The only difference between Trump and a George W. Bush or Ronald Reagan is Trump did it faster. Record time. He wrecked our entire country. And then in a wild turn of events, he's putting up banners and statues of himself and imagery of himself all over the United States. All of these Alpha men seem to just be like, oh my God, I'm going to wear a Trump pin. And I can't wait to have Trump on my money and Trump in my passport. Grow up, Queens. I just, I can't even, I can't even wrap my head around the collusion with this. All right, I have a great way for you to mix things up this year for your mother. On Mother's Day.

This is something that I find interesting and it's bitten Trump in the ass already like everything does because he everything up. But he came in, he did not want windmills because he doesn't like the sight of them. Creates this huge global oil crisis, huge cost inflation globally. And I was reading China is just fucking balls to the wall on their wind energy. Trump is paying a company a billion dollars with US taxpayer money not to finish the project on wind energy. And I'm like, he's fucking us in the front and in the back all at the same time.
- [14:07]
Political Commentator 1
It's, it's important. The reason that he is on this anti wind thing is not that he does that he cares what windmills look like. It's because the oil industry bought him. They bought him. They prop him up. Go look at all the donors for the inauguration. Look for all the do donors at the ballroom. Big oil bought him. And he is not intellectual enough to come up with an argument as to why wind is not good other than aesthetics. That's his sole depth. That's the reason that he doesn't like when if the wind industry came up and and paid him billions of dollars, then he would be saying the same thing about oil rigs. They're not attractive. Because that's as deep as his intellect is. It's all surface, it's all superficial. And he was bought and paid for. The man that middle America thought, oh, he's rich. He can't be bought and paid for. Oh, he was. He was bought and paid for. And later in the day, Trump started posting reviews of his State of the Union address from February. Pop this up. So here he is posting up all of these reviews from February of his State of the Union, and it is check notes. It's May. So again, this guy is going to continue this weekend at Bernie's dementia tour of the United States while the country commits political suicide, while all of the oligarchs are just clamoring on to make all the money they can, while Benjamin Netanyahu is dog walking us all through Iran. And this guy is literally asleep at the will in an embarrassing new poll out for Trump about some of the most important items of his agenda. Let's pop this up. Only about 1 in 10 say it's acceptable to name government buildings after Trump while he's president.
- [15:58]
Political Commentator 3
Angie, my thought on this is there are so many things that are wrong with this presidency. I mean, I would like to see a poll. How many people think that it is cool for him to put these banners up and build the arch and do all this? Because time and time again, when you see, like the ballroom, people hate the idea of that. So it's just everything this man does is a big fat you to Americans. I will take all the money. I will put my name on everything. I will be the big guy and go yourself. That's the message of his presidency.
- [16:33]
Political Commentator 1
See? Yeah. So 1 in 10, 1 in 10Americans support this grandstanding narcissism. So that's better than the 30%. All right. That's all we have. Please, like, subscribe. And we will be back later with more news.
