All hell is breaking loose in the United States because of the pathetic tantrums of man baby Donald Trump. Let me just talk to you about charts, graphs, objective data, not the BS that Donald Trump and MAGA spews. All hell is breaking loose because of this felon. Let's take a look at this chart right here. The 30 year mortgage rate has now jumped to 7.5%, one of the highest levels in the entire century. Apple is now one of the worst performing Magnificent Seven stocks, the worst in 2025 with a year to date decline of 22%. And that's because the man baby Donald Trump woke up in the morning yesterday and attacked Apple directly of America's biggest companies. And Donald Trump said he wanted to impose a tariff on Apple. Donald Trump also said he wanted to impose 50% tariffs on the European Union, which effectively would be an embargo on doing business with the European Union that caused our markets to tank. Now this follows of course Donald Trump imposing 145% tariffs against China, which then he sent Scott Besant and his other trade representative Jameson Greer to Switzerland to totally capitulate and cave to China and reduced 145% tariffs to 30% tariffs by the way, which is still high. And container shipping and shipments are still very low right now in the United States of America. Let's talk about treasury bonds. U.S. treasury bonds now have the worst 10 year rolling annualized returns in the last 90 years. The 30 year treasury yields are over 5%. When you look at the 10 and 20, they're rising in ways that demonstrate a great deal of volatility in the United States markets. You want to talk about groceries, you want to talk about prices, Ground beef hits new all time highs. You want to talk about the markets? Yesterday a disastrous day on Wall Street. The Dow nearly 1%, the S& P down as well. And the NASDAQ was down. All of the indexes were down. It was not a good day on the market. As Justin Wolfer says, Trump's tariff threat on Apple knocked its stock down 2.75% which for a company valued at nearly $3 trillion, amounts to a destruction of $80 billion of value. Or to put this in more human terms, it's an effective tax of nearly $250 per every American. And as I mentioned, this data comes from Apollo. Sorry if I'm geeking out with the charts. When I say all hell is breaking loose, I'm trying to warn us what the hell is happening. As the pathetic man, baby felon, sexual abuser Donald Trump continues to do things that ravage our economy. Apollo explains the lack of a rebound in container traffic after the China US Trade. They call it a deal. It's really a consensus on May 12 is worrying. Worrying would be an understatement. Want to talk about worrying being an understatement? We all know that on Thursday, Donald Trump held his crypto Meme coin dinner to enrich himself and his family, where he invited all of these people who each paid at least basically $1 million to personally buy Trump meme coin. Some people paid 15, 16, $20 million to be there. I'm going to do a whole other video on this. Donald Trump gave them like the grossest piece of steak Also, maybe because beef prices have hit an all time high and I don't know. And a salad that looks like it was vomited out. I won't even go there. All right, what was J.D. vance talking about at the U.S. naval Academy? Again, I don't like hyperbole. When I say all hell is breaking loose, I mean it. This is what RT Russian tv. Russian propaganda is promoting JD Vance's speech at the US Naval Academy. Do you know why? Because JD Van said that the United States is no longer a dominant power in the world. The era of uncontested US Dominance is over. And he warns US Naval Academy graduates that Russia and China are determined to beat us in every domain. J.D. vance at the Naval Academy is literally cooking up Russian propaganda that Russia is propagandizing and showing to their people. Play this clip.
J.D. Vance
The era of uncontested US Dominance is over. Today we face serious threats in China, Russia and others nations determined to beat us in every single domain from spectrum to low earth orbit to our supply chains and even our communication infrastructure technology has lowered the cost of disruption. And so we must be all of us, not just smarter. We got to make sure that we, we send our troops to war. We do it with the right tools.
Political Commentator
Now, while all of this is going on, I'll do a whole other video on this. Donald Trump is deleting the transcripts of himself because he's so incoherent and he can't put together sentences anymore that on the transcript section of the White House website, it's delete, delete, delete, delete. They put up some, like, YouTube videos of him. No, we the people deserve to see the transcripts. And we can make a determination if you even know how to put together a sentence. When I say all hell is breaking loose. It's also because Donald Trump denied supplemental FEMA aid to North Carolina. Once again, we've been very focused on the Midas Touch network of fema because I know in hurricane season, this is going to be the biggest story. It should already be a massive story that the Trump regime fired all of these workers from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Agency and the National Weather Service, and all these people lost their jobs. So they're no longer able, even have the staffing to be able to provide proper weather forecasts and warnings. Yeah, that's a pretty big freaking deal. And on the FEMA side, FEMA has been late and slow to respond to significant events. Weather events, tornadoes, like hundreds of tornadoes already in the past week, week and a half over. About 30Americans died in Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri and Indiana. Trump makes no statement about it. And where the hell is female? And by the way, FEMA still hasn't showed up in Mississippi and in Arkansas and in all of these other states who are suffering from prior storms, even before that. And then FEMA just denied supplemental aid to North Carolina. They denied supplemental aid a few weeks or a month or two ago in Georgia. Of course they denied aid to Kentucky. And what this also means is that states don't have the resources to do this. Trump's going to be bankrupting states and he's going to be bankrupting red states also. But, folks, while all hell breaks loose, the man, baby felon, sexual abuser, fraud. You know what he's doing? Golfing. He's vacationing. Why? Because he hates America. He hates Americans. This selfish, vile piece of disgusting trash is golfing while he lights the United States of America on fire. While he and JD Vance provide propaganda for Russia and China to use against us as they've weakened and crushed the United States. Donald Trump and Vance, as they've capitulated to Russia. Peace in 24 hours in Ukraine. Nah. These pathetic, weak, vile fools. Donald Trump and J.D. vance, not only just MIA complicit with. I think they're just straight up rooting for Russia at this point. They're no longer even holding negotiations. They're done. They said, hey, Russia and Ukraine, you deal with it together. In other words, they're giving a green light to Russia. Despicable, vile people. And you know, as, as the Trump regime continues to disappear, human beings continues to disappear people here in the United States. Is it any wonder why travel from Europe to the United states is down 25%? It's even more than that in Canada, Australia, all across the world. No one wants to be in the United States right now because you remember how Donald Trump would refer to other countries as shithole and hell holes. Well, Donald Trump was intent on turning United States the way he has shithole companies trying to turn the United States into that as well. You see the story right here of the 19 year old girl Ximena. This story is near and dear to me. My seven month old daughter's named Ximena. My wife is from Mexico. It's when I saw the story of the Trump regime throwing a 19 year old girl from Georgia college student named Jimena in a detention center for weeks and weeks and weeks, basically torturing her. She was just released. Finally, here's her story play this clip changed my life.
Ximena
It's something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It's life changing and yeah, I wouldn't.
Political Commentator
Wish it on any and here she is again. Let me show one more clip of her right here.
Ximena
It was scary. I was terrified. And then as I was being transported ported down to Stuart, I stopped at some offices in Atlanta and they had me in a room by myself for nine hours. I didn't know what was going on.

And then they go on. As I said, all hell breaks loose. Of course you know by now the Trump regime attacking Harvard University saying that if you're an international student you can't attend Harvard or else you'll get deported. You'll go to the concentration camps in El Salvador or Libya or South Sudan or wherever the hell. Maybe they'll send you back to the country. Who knows, maybe they'll disappear you. Who the hell knows with this despicable regime. But Harvard sued right away and Harvard won a preliminary injunction against the Trump regime. I started with data. I started with data. Let me take a look at this data. Their disastrous budget bill. It literally steals. Literally steals. If you make between 0 and $51,000, about $1,000 from you gets stolen and gets given to rich people. People who make more than $4.3 million are going to save close to $400,000 from this disastrous bill. And then people who make between 0 and 51,000 will have $1,000 stolen from them to be given to the rich people. And mind you, this doesn't even get into that analysis is just at the most basic level on like the actual payment of taxes, raising the taxes, literally taking money and giving it to the rich. As the rich get the big tax cuts, the billionaires and DECA millionaires get the tax cuts. But then Also taking people 14 million people will lose their healthcare, lose supplemental nutrition assistance program will destroy their livelihood and jobs. This thing is an absolute, absolute disaster. Remember I talked about FEMA before for it's really important that I do because the experts and experts matter are predicting that warm waters and storm friendly climate patterns because climate change is real. It's expected to produce as many as 19 tropical storms, including six to 10 hurricanes. Government scientists said on Thursday. That's going to be disastrous as FEMA is not going to be ready. I keep warning about the mass casualty events that are going to happen if we have big hurricanes this season and we expect that to take place. I know no one else is really raising the alarm the way we are. I keep talking about this over and over again for a reason. And in that disastrous budget bill, it got rid of all of the climate tax credits for Americans, phased them out, all of the clean energy jobs, all of these jobs that employed, you know, millions of Americans are going to be gone. People and people are going to lose their jobs. There's a reason, though, why China and Europe are also focused on green jobs. One, their people demand it. They're science and fact based. And two, they know that this is the future and they're creating the jobs of the future. Today they look at the jobs that were here in the United States. They wanted those jobs. And because Trump's unleashing hell in the United States, Trump looked at the low paying factory jobs and because Trump's view of low income people is that, and this is what they've said, the regime, oh yeah, they want to work in the factories their entire life and then generations of them can work in factories. No, they want high paying jobs. They were looking for high paying jobs. But the Trump regime looks at low income people. They love working in the coal mines and love working in the factories. No, the American dream is, look, is to have a wage and get paid with dignity. But also they want other things for their families as well. Go listen to and have conversations, you know, with people. I'm not gonna, I'm not going to play any Trump videos on this. You get it? I mean, I'll tell you what he said. I just don't want to even hear his. Do you want to hear his. I don't want to hear his freaking voice right now. But Donald Trump was asked at the press conference yesterday, why are you imposing tariffs on Apple. You're trying to hurt American businesses. You're causing an $80 billion market cap loss from Apple. They're not hurting, they're helping. The pathetic, vile man baby felon, said the reporter to Donald Trump. Is there anything the EU can do to avoid 50% tariffs that you're threatening in your morning tantrum, man. Baby, I added that last part, Trump. I don't know. We'll see right now, June 1st, whatever I'm gonna do, it just so utterly, utterly pathetic. Oh, and then Donald Trump was asked about Harvard. He's like, they don't know how to do math there. They don't know basic. They don't know two plus two equals four. What a clown show. What a Gong Show. How ridiculous could this possibly be? What a pathetic, pathetic human being him and his regime are. Just call them out what they are. Felon, trash, criminal. That's what he is. Hit subscribe let's get to 5 million subscribers.
