See full terms@mintmobile.com Furious world leaders are unleashing on Donald Trump with a force that he never saw coming. Donald, you don't hold any cards anymore. It's a consistent message we're hearing from these furious world leaders is Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who is now meeting with former United States President Barack Obama, who Donald Trump is so utterly jealous of. And we're seeing what it looks like to have two dignified and accomplished world leaders, Obama and Carney, actually smart people side by side in Canada, taunting Donald Trump with the mere presence of those two in a room. Whether it is former allies of the United States ghosting Donald Trump, no longer allowing the United States to use their air force bases and having very public bilateral communications with Iran, I'll go down the list. But Foreign Minister Aragchi of Iran, one by one, has been calling former allies of the United States talking about bilateral relations while these foreign ministers are not speaking with Donald Trump and his regime, whether it is Pope Leo XIV who continues to speak out against the Trump regime. And when Marco Rubio visited Pope Leo XIV trying to harass and scare and intimidate Pope Leo XIV in the past few days, you know what Pope Leo XIV did? He gave Rubio a peace plant while Rubio gave the Pope a crystal plant. Football. And then of course, you have all of these furious world leaders banning the United States from their air bases and then Donald Trump begging Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to use their air bases. But Donald Trump had to launch that pretextual attack on Kashmir port in Iran. And then Iran immediately attacked the three United States naval destroyers. And then the United States naval destroyers had to abandon the Strait of Hormuzuku. But Donald Trump claimed this is a great, great victory. And meanwhile, you have Netanyahu once again threatening Donald Trump that because he's such a pathetic negotiator with Iran, Netanyahu is doing the deja vu all over again. Exactly what he did with Donald Trump in late February, saying, all right, we're going to invade Iran. Are you going to join me, Donald? Are you going to, Are you going to join me, Donald? And Donald Trump's out there flailing. And what's he doing? He's meeting with live golf tournament people on Friday night, trying to beg them to join forces with the PGA so he could continue to grift at his golf course. And meanwhile, you have Foreign Minister Aragchi taking a meeting to Russia where he met with Putin recently. And Putin gave him a hero's welcome, which you saw on their state regime tv. Putin laughing and putting his arm around Iraqi. Then you had Iraqi meeting with Wang Yi, the foreign minister of China, getting a hero's welcome and Iraqi was like, the Chinese have told us that they now view us so much differently after we beat the United States in this war. And meanwhile, Donald Trump is described in the latest Atlantic article as being very bored in this war. Donald Trump just wants it to go away so badly because Donald Trump so desperately wants to have a good visit with Xi Jinping in China so Trump can take that photo that he wants with Xi Jinping in front of all of the Chinese soldiers standing at attention. So Donald Trump feels powerful. And Donald Trump's willing to sacrifice our relations with Taiwan and South Korea so Donald Trump could get that photo with Xi Jinping he so desperately craves. And Xi Jinping realizes how easy it is to play Donald Trump like the little fiddle that he is. Oh, yeah. Did I mention that when Brazil's President Lula arrived in the United States, he immediately set the ground rules of the meeting and he said, donald, I'm not doing your performance formative press conferences where you act like a maniac. We're going to meet in private and I'm going to tell you what's really up. Lula unleashed on Donald Trump and let him have it. This meeting lasted hours. There was no public press conference as Lula and Trump, I guess, were supposed to have. That's what the US Press and the Brazilian press were led to believe. And then Lula had held a press conference afterwards and then unleashed on Donald Trump, criticizing the Trump regime for invading Venice, Venezuela, the blockade on Cuba, the unlawful and catastrophic war in Iran, the genocide in Gaza and Lebanon. Lula was not holding back. Oh, yeah, And Donald Trump supporting The former insurrectionist Maga president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, who's now serving over 20 years in prison. Frankly, in my opinion, what Donald Trump should be doing, because Jair Bolsonaro, that MAGA Brazilian president, tried to lead an insurrection against Brazil and fell. And their courts actually held their insurrection as former president accountable, where our cowardly and disgusting and fascist Supreme Court gave Donald Trump absolute immunity which is absolutely disgusting. Let's just go through, though, the utter embarrassment and shame Donald Trump is experiencing. Iran announces that its Foreign Minister, Aragchi, held bilateral communications with the Foreign Minister of the UK Foreign Minister Aragchi announced bilateral negotiations and communications with Turkey, bilateral communications and negotiations with Japan, bilateral negotiations and communication with Saudi Arabia's Foreign minister. Bilateral communications and negotiation with Spain's Foreign minister. Bilateral communications and negotiations with Poland's Foreign Minister, with the Foreign Minister of Switzerland, with the Foreign Minister of India, with the Foreign Minister of Italy, with the Foreign Minister of South Korea, with the Foreign Minister of Brazil, with the Foreign Minister of Turkmenistan, with the Foreign Minister of Pakistan, with the Foreign Minister of Kenya, with the far. Do you get the point? Do you get the point? And by the way, this is public stuff. They're not hiding it. One by one, foreign ministers of nations that were once allied with the United States are lining up to speak with Foreign Minister Aragchi because Iran is in a stronger position. And these countries are trying to figure out how can we get our ships through the Strait of Hormuz. And we have to recognize that Iran is not just a regional power player right now, but is an international power player like never before. As Donald Trump lost, or as the mighty and powerful United States Navy is now reduced to behaving like, like pirates, as CENTCOM is bragging that it attacks certain ghost ships of Iran and they want to get, like, applauded because the powerful US Navy attacks defenseless cargo ships heading to China. I mean, are you kidding me? Our navy is the strongest navy in the history of humankind. Our soldiers, I was Hegseth likes to say our war fighters, they are patriots, they are strong, they are the best trained. But in the hands of a sicko, maniac, lifelong bankrupting loser like Donald Trump, we're seeing how it plays out. And the rest of the world sees this. Why do you think they're so publicly calling Foreign Minister Iraqi? Why do you think China's giving Iran the red carpet treatment before Donald Trump's visit with Xi Jinping? Why do you think we hear news like this? Poland, by the way, bilateral negotiations with Iran. Separately, Poland signed a $43.7 billion EU loan agreement, becoming the first member state to finalize a deal under the bloc's new 150 billion euro safe defense financing Program, securing by far the largest single allocation. Warsaw immediately receives a 15% advance, 6.5 billion euros, with all funds to be spent by 2030 on air defense, anti drone system, artillery, ammunition, and the Eastern Shield border fortification. With 89% directed to the Polish defense industry. Once upon a time, you know where that money would have went? To the United States. But everything Donald Trump touches turns to shi. You know what I'm saying here? Lula's statement after he left the Oval Office was the following. I do not believe Trump will have any influence over Brazilian elections because Brazilian people are the ones who vote. And I believe he will behave as the President of the United States, allowing the Brazilian people to decide their own destiny. Then Lula openly distanced himself from Trump after that disastrous meeting. He says we prefer dialogue in Brazil over war. He said the invasion of Iran could cause more harm than Trump imagined. And he said that Donald Trump believes in his own mind that the war is already over. Lula says he thinks the war is already over, that everything is resolved. But I don't think that's real. On Venezuela, he says he hopes the country can have a chance in life and that its government can make things happen. And he says, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran. And he says, I'm willing to have discussions on it all. But he says, Donald Trump's behavior has been absolutely abhorrent. What else is going down? What else is going down? Let me show you the moment right here where Pope Leo XIV gifted Marco Rubio a plant of peace. And in return, Marco Rubio gave the Pope a crystal football. And the Pope was like, what are you giving me? Play this clip.
Senator Marco Rubio
Well, it's. It's easier. This is a baseball guy, but. And it has the seal of the State Department. So, okay. It. What to get someone who has everything I thought I love being, of course, plant of peace. There's this, the coat of arms here, pontificate here.
Political Commentator
But. And so while you have Aragchi out there doing additional.
Senator Marco Rubio
Right.
Political Commentator
Diplomacy sometimes is a game of addition, making friends, not trying to make more enemies. Diplomacy. What is Rubio doing other than making a fool of himself? What else is new in the meeting with Pope Leo xiv? Well, he attacks NATO during his press conference after meeting with the Pope. Play this clip.
Senator Marco Rubio
I've been a strong supporter of NATO throughout my career in the Senate and even now. One of the advantages of being in NATO is that it allows us to have forces deployed in Europe and bases that allow us a logistical ability to project power in case of contingencies. Well, we had a contingency, and some countries in Europe, some countries in Europe, like Spain, as an example, denied us the use of those bases for a very important contingency. That in some ways, the denial of those bases actually impeded the mission not severely, but had a cost and in fact, even created some unnecessary dangers. So if the re. If one of the main reasons why the US Is in NATO is the ability to have forces deployed in Europe that we could project to other contingencies, and now that's no longer the case, at least when it comes to some NATO members, that's a problem and has to be examined. But ultimately that's a decision for the President to make.
Political Commentator
He then whines and says, when's the world gonna. Gonna do something with Iran? World? When are you gonna step up, up. Excuse me, you and Netanyahu did the unlawful catastrophic invasion of Iran. Here, play this clip.
Senator Marco Rubio
Normalize a country claiming to control an international waterway. Because if you normalize that, you set a precedent that's going to get repeated in a dozen other places. And if the answer is no, we don't want to normalize it, then you better have something more than just strongly worded statements to back it up. Here's a more fundamental problem. Iran now claims that they own that they have a right to control an international waterway. They claim that they have a right to control it. What is the world going to do about that? Is the world going to accept that Iran now controls an international waterway? Because if the world is prepared to accept that, then be ready. Because there's like 10 other countries that are going to start doing the same thing in their international waterways or in international waterways near their countries. That's an unacceptable thing that they're trying to normalize. So if the answer is no, we don't think Iran should be able to control the Straits of Hormuz, then the next question is going to be for everyone. Well, what are you going to do about it? What is the world prepared to do about it? And we're trying to do something about it diplomatically. We have a resolution at the United nations that we're trying to move forward in which the world and the UN will have an opportunity through the Security Council to vote and say, we are not going to allow them to mine the straits. We're not going to allow them to try to control the straits. And by the way, you have a bunch of humanitarian aid that's trapped inside the Persian Gulf and needs to be released and has not been able to move. We're going to give the world a chance to pronounce itself on it. And if Russia or China or some other country decide to veto it, then you know what the impediment is. But the fundamental question, every country, not Italy, every country needs to ask themselves is, are you going to normalize a country claiming to control an international waterway? Because if you normalize that, you set a precedent that's going to get repeated in a dozen other places.

And then finally, my, how the tables have turned. You have Donald Trump begging Ukraine President Zelensky to do a ceasefire with Russia on the day of Russians today, on Russians victory parade day. And Trump's begging Zelinsky, please, can you do it, please? And Zelinsky responds with strength. We want a thousand prisoners returned from Russia if they want us not to attack their parade in Moscow with drones because they don't want. We want a long term cease fire, not just for one day for Putin's stupid parade. Zelensky says we want a long term ceasefire, but Russia doesn't give us that. Russia doesn't want peace, they just want to do their parade. And Zelinsky said we will agree to the ceasefire, but it will be just the square coordinates of Red Square and that's it. No other ceasefire unless and until Russia wants a sustainable ceasefire. Donald, that's what Zelensky posted. Oh, and as I mentioned before, Obama with Carney in Canada taunting Donald Trump. Gotta love it. Not like overtly taunting him, just with their presence. Sometimes symbolism speaks volumes. Remember that. Remember when leaders could just talk through their actions rather than their accordion hands and their lunatic rants? I miss those days. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million. Thanks for watching.

Date: May 9, 2026
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas (MeidasTouch Network)
This episode centers on the escalating global backlash against Donald Trump, focusing on how his recent actions as President have led to a dramatic breakdown in traditional US alliances and worldwide diplomatic embarrassment. The Meiselas brothers dissect recent geopolitical developments—particularly Trump’s handling of the Iran conflict, US military failures, diplomatic snubs, and public humiliations from world leaders—while providing their trademark blend of sharp analysis, humor, and unfiltered criticism in defense of democracy.
On US Naval Humiliation:
“[The] United States Navy is now reduced to behaving like... pirates, as CENTCOM is bragging that it attacks certain ghost ships of Iran and they want to get, like, applauded because the powerful US Navy attacks defenseless cargo ships heading to China.” — Political Commentator [10:56]
On the Supreme Court:
“Our cowardly and disgusting and fascist Supreme Court gave Donald Trump absolute immunity, which is absolutely disgusting.” — Political Commentator [12:00]
On US–Brazil Relations:
“Jair Bolsonaro... tried to lead an insurrection against Brazil and fell. And their courts actually held their insurrectionist former president accountable, where our cowardly and disgusting and fascist Supreme Court gave Donald Trump absolute immunity.” — Political Commentator [12:20]
The episode maintains a signature blend of sharp, unabashed critique, satirical humor, and righteous indignation common to the MeidasTouch brand. The brothers use vivid analogies, sarcasm, and pointed language to capture the escalating sense of international chaos under Trump’s leadership, while simultaneously highlighting moments of inspiring resistance and diplomatic leadership from abroad.
“All Hell Breaks Loose as Trump Destroys Alliance!!” offers a blistering and engaging breakdown of the Trump administration’s unprecedented diplomatic failures, isolation from former allies, military setbacks, and the global community’s pointed rejection of current US leadership. From Lula’s direct confrontation, Rubio’s Vatican antics, to Zelenskyy’s unwavering strength, the world is actively closing ranks around Trump—transforming the US from global leader to international punchline in real time. The Meiselas brothers bring gravity and wit in equal measure, making this episode essential listening for anyone following US foreign policy or the ongoing fight for democracy.
