World leaders are absolutely furious at Donald Trump as he spent most of his time in Scotland promoting his own golf courses. As world leaders see it, it's basically Donald Trump and Netanyahu against the world. And whoever could bribe Donald Trump the most. For example, Pakistan buys into Donald Trump's family bitcoin holdings and Pakistan's military general gets an audience with Donald Trump. And Donald Trump is unable to do a trade deal with India. Like, do you all remember that Donald Trump's been saying what now? Really? Since April? A deal with India is right around the corner. There's no deal with India. India is incredibly off at Donald Trump. Uh, the latest, India's defense minister. We've heard from their foreign minister before, but their defense minister is saying, donald, stop saying that you had anything to do with the peace deal between India and Pakistan. You're, you're making our lives very difficult here in India because you dangling trade had nothing to do with the ultimate peace that followed military operations following a terrorist attack in the Kashmir region. I mean, we're seeing. Rajnath Singh and India's defense minister was just speaking at a parliamentary debate the other day, and he said it is completely incorrect and baseless what Donald Trump is saying. The military action was not stopped because of pressure by Donald Trump. India halted its operation because all the political and military objectives studied before and during the conflict had been achieved. Stop lying about India. That's what we're seeing there, you know, in the latest foreign policy issues, talking about how the way Donald Trump's treating India, India really has no choice but to submit to China. I mean, look, India is already part of brics, which is Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. But I think India was hoping that it could do some transactions with the United States. But the way Donald Trump has handled students from India has absolutely outraged the people in India. The way Donald Trump continues to threaten Apple not to build plants in India is infuriating people in India. The way Donald Trump keeps claiming he's the one responsible for peace between India and Pakistan is infuriating the people in India. And the overall way Donald Trump is handling this trade war against the world. And Donald Trump just said the other day yesterday that he would put 25% tariffs on India. There's nothing he can do about it. I mean, that, that's, that's his position right there. Um, again, foreign policy says Trump is pushing India to submit to China without cl. Clear US Support. The cost of resisting Beijing is too high. And we're seeing that repeatedly. By the way, Mexico, Central America, South America, Caribbean nations, African nations, other Asian nations. The way Biden brought together South Korea, Japan and the United States for a trilateral meeting. We see the Japanese foreign minister, South Korea's foreign minister and China's foreign minister meeting together, trying to figure things out there. Same thing with Australia. We saw Anthony Albanese, the prime minister of Australia, spend over a week in Shanghai and Beijing. And Albanese says China is our biggest and best trading partner. Says it out loud by far. We need to focus more on China. I mean, and of course, you've now heard. I've showed you the video clip yesterday. Stephen Harper, former prime minister of Canada, who describes himself as the. He was the most pro American prime minister in Canadian history, said he goes, look, I'm speaking right now with the Liberal government run by Prime Minister Carney. He goes, I told Carney I'm the most pro American former prime minister there is. Do not do business with America. Or if we do, just be gentle. And then focus on broader trading relationships across the rest of the world. Strengthen those, and don't look to the United States. I mean, he goes, all the world leaders I speak to are all thinking that right now as well, you know, and I think that that's a repeated theme that, that we're seeing. Anyway, just so you can hear for yourself, this is what Donald Trump said about India, that there will be a 25% tariff on India. And then he tries to take credit for all. He's like, I, I stopped the war between Thailand and. No, because I stopped the war between Cambodia. And he means Thailand. But he goes, ba ba ba. And he doesn't know Thailand. So he goes, ba ba ba. What does that even mean? Ba ba ba. I mean, the guy's an idiot. And you can't be the arsonist. All of these wars start and then the countries deal with them on their own. You do nothing. And then you go, I Stopped the wars. I should get a Nobel Peace Prize. Anyway, here's what he says.
Journalist
Play this clip between 20 and 25%. Is that what you're tracking or what do you think the rate will be?
Donald Trump
That they are going to pay 25%?
Advisor
Yeah.
Journalist
That India is preparing to pay, raise higher U.S. tariffs between 20 and 25%.
Donald Trump
Look, India's been, they're my friends and he's my friend and you know, the end of the war with Pakistan by request and it was great. And Pakistan did also, you know, we did a lot of, a lot of great settlements, including the recent one as you know, with Cambodia, blah blah, blah. So that was a, that was a great. But I think that's been pretty well finalized now, right?
Journalist
I don't know.
Donald Trump
I'm asking you, did I do a good job on that one? I did a good job at about five different wars. Do you think I'll get credit for it? No. Will I get credit for. She'll say yes.
Journalist
Is the deal with India finalized?
Donald Trump
No, it's not.
Journalist
Okay, so what rate are you expecting?
Donald Trump
We're going to see. We're going to see. But India has been a good friend. But India has charged basically more tariffs than almost any other country. You know that, right? Over the years. But now I'm in charge and you just can't do that.

And here you have Treasury Secretary Scott Bess, and he's being asked, what about the Vietnam deal, the Indonesia deal? Do we have paperwork, Besson, for any of these deals? The Vietnamese government refuses to acknowledge that they even, they even did a deal with the United States. And you're out there bragging there was a deal with Vietnam. Did you do a deal? Did you not do a deal? And Scott Besant's like, well, you know, I think that our trade Minister, Richard Greer, I think that Ambassador Greer will keep it and he probably has the paperwork. No, there's no paperwork because these are all fake deals. There's no paperwork with Japan. There's no paperwork with the European Union. There's no paperwork with Vietnam or Indonesia. Donald Trump dropped blank pieces of paper and claimed that was the deal with the United Kingdom, which he thought was the European Union. But here's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen. Play this clip.
Advisor
These deals have been coming pretty fast and furious. At times it gets hard to track the details of them. The Vietnam deal that the president announced earlier in July, I don't think we've seen confirmation, or at least I haven't as I sit here now, from the Vietnamese government, government of that deal. Did we get confirmation from the Vietnamese government? Do we have an agreement with them on paper? I, I didn't work on that deal, but I, I assume that we, we do because, you know, we, we've also done Indonesia and Philippines. So I, I would imagine that. But you haven't seen that paperwork. I, I, but I don't. That's Ambassador Greer, who is a seasoned veteran with an encyclopedic memory and knowledge of all this, keeps all that.

And here's Donald Trump bragging, look, it's just him and Netanyahu. They're the ones choreographing all of this. He goes, he and Netanyahu are working together and he and Netanyahu are going to straighten out the world. Here's what he got, here's what he says. Play this clip.
News Anchor
What will you say next to Benjamin Netanyahu?
Donald Trump
Try and get things straightened out for the world.

Thank you very much. All right. Well, the rest of the world doesn't think that. You have the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, saying, consistent with its historic commitments to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the state of Palestine. I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General assembly this coming September. The urgent priority today is to end the war in Gaza and to bring relief to the civilian population. Peace is possible. We need an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages and, and a massive humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza. We must also ensure the, the demilitarization of Hamas, secure and rebuild Gaza. And finally, we must build the state of Palestine, guarantee its viability and ensure that by accepting its demilitarization and fully recognizing Israel and contributes to the security of all in the region. There is no, no alternative. Okay. And then yesterday, Prime Minister Kier Starmer of the United Kingdom says UK will recognize a Palestinian state unless Israel takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza. Here, play this clip.
Political Analyst
I've always said that we will recognize a Palestinian state as a contribution to a proper peace process at the moment of maximum impact for the two state solution. With that solution now under threat, this is the moment to act. So today, as part of this process towards peace. I can confirm the UK will recognize the state of Palestine by the United Nations General assembly in September unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire agreement and commit to a long term sustainable peace, reviving the prospect of a two state solution. And this includes allowing the UN to restart the supply of aid and making clear that there will be no annexations in the West Bank.

And finally, if Donald Trump thinks he's being like tough around the world, let me explain to you what's happening in North Korea. Kim Jong Un's sister, Kim Yo Jong, she just gave, she just gave a speech where she said, look, yeah, sure, Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un get along just fine. But she said, you know, we demand immediate recognition of our nuclear capabilities from the United States. She goes, we want Trump to recognize us as a nuclear power. So, you know, it's not like he's making North Korea denuclearize. Here's, here's how CNN reported it. Let's play it.
News Anchor
North Korea breaking its silence on Donald Trump the messenger. Not Kim Jong Un, but his powerful younger sister, Kim Yo Jong on the far right, believed to be in her late 30s. This Week in North Korean state media, she said her brother's relationship with President Trump is not bad. Signaling talks with the US could happen again, but only if the US Drops its demand for denuclearization and accepts North Korea as a nuclear power. Kim's sister also called South Korea the enemy, slamming their new president, Lee Jae Myung, rejecting any chance for dialogue.
Advisor
She exuded confidence. She exuded arrogance, even.
News Anchor
She's a major architect of her older brother's carefully choreographed image, like this recent meeting with Russia's foreign minister on one of Kim's yachts. She was also by his side when Kim met President Trump.
Political Analyst
His sister, who is always around him.
News Anchor
Kind of acts as his chief of staff and Kim's enforcer. When South Korean activists sent anti Kim leaflets North by balloon last year, she publicly defended flying trash filled balloons south, triggering cell phone alerts for millions. She also ordered the dramatic demolition of this border office shared with the South. Kim Yo Jong has been rising in power for years. Promoted to the Politburo, the senior body of North Korea's Communist Party, she represented her brother at the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. Kim's sister is most known for her fiery rhetoric and fierce loyalty to her brother, one of the only people North Korea's most powerful person can trust.

And now, Donald Trump. What's, what's the latest? His new deadline for Putin. It was two weeks back in April, then 50 days two weeks ago, and then yesterday it was 10 days to 12 days, and now he's saying 10 days from today. He just makes up numbers. He just makes up days. Here, play this clip.
Journalist
Mr. President, yesterday you mentioned that you would change the Russia deadline to 10 to 12 days. Is that, has that started yet or when can we, you know, see the official statement that that is the new.
Donald Trump
I'll tell you what, I'll give it to you now. Do you want a big scoop?
Journalist
Yes.
Donald Trump
Everybody else, close your ears. Okay, you ready?
Journalist
I'm ready.
Donald Trump
Ten days from today.
Journalist
Got it? Okay, got it.
Donald Trump
How do you communicate we have a scoop and then, you know, we're going to put on tariffs and stuff. And I don't know if it's going to affect Russia because he wants to obviously probably keep the war going, but we're going to put on tariffs. The various things that you put on, it may or may not affect them, but it could.
Political Commentator
So it's not surprising that you hear from President Zelinsky the following. Russia shows absolutely no regard for anyone in the world who wants to bring this war to an end. Just yesterday, there was a very necessary statement from President Trump. There was a lot of support around the world, but still strikes continue and even demonstrative killing of our people by Russians continues. Every such Russian strike, every act of Russian boorishness in response to the world's call to stop the world only proves one thing. Pressure is necessary. More sanctions against Russia, steady support for Ukraine and our defensive life. Coordinated diplomacy for peace. I think everyone who's working with us exactly this way. There you have it, folks. World leaders are furious at Donald Trump. His weakness is showing. You have, like, North Korea flexing its muscle. Putin is undeterred. You have Donald Trump attacking, like, you know, India, supporting Pakistan because they bought his bitcoin and inviting the Pakistani general to basically be in the Oval Office. Donald Trump snubbing world leaders at the G7 after, like, leaving, being there for five or six hours. It's just a very weak, sheepish, bizarre weirdo, you know, United States of America. Just strange to see. Anyway, hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million. Thanks for watching.

Podcast Summary: The MeidasTouch Podcast – "OMG! Furious World Leaders Put the Screws Into Trump"
Episode Details:
The episode kicks off with the trio highlighting the mounting frustration among world leaders towards Donald Trump's actions on the international stage. The hosts emphasize that Trump's recent endeavors have not only strained relationships but also isolated the United States in critical geopolitical matters.
A significant portion of the discussion centers on Trump's tumultuous relationship with India. The political commentator outlines how Trump's inability to secure a trade deal with India has irked both Indian leadership and the broader international community.
The commentator further explains that India's Defense Minister Rajnath Singh publicly refuted Trump's claims of influencing peace between India and Pakistan, clarifying that military actions were based on predefined political and military objectives.
The episode sheds light on Trump's close ties with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Pakistan. This alliance is portrayed as a unilateral force against global interests, leading to skepticism among other nations.
Furthermore, Pakistan's engagement with Trump's family bitcoin holdings and the presence of a Pakistani general in Trump's Oval Office are cited as examples of Trump's controversial alliances.
Trump's erratic approach to tariffs is another focal point. The commentator criticizes Trump's inconsistent statements regarding tariffs on India, highlighting the unpredictability and its negative impact on international trade relations.
Additionally, Trump's shifting deadlines for imposing tariffs on Russia are discussed, showcasing his indecisive and potentially damaging economic policies.
The hosts explore how leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer are taking decisive steps to support Palestinian statehood, positioning themselves against Trump's policies.
Macron's Announcement:
"France will recognize the state of Palestine... urgent priority today is to end the war in Gaza." [10:00]
Starmer's Position:
"The UK will recognize the state of Palestine by the United Nations General Assembly in September unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza." [11:34]
The episode discusses North Korea's Kim Yo Jong's recent declarations demanding U.S. recognition of North Korea as a nuclear power, further straining U.S.-North Korea relations.
This assertiveness is portrayed as a direct challenge to Trump's administration, indicating North Korea's unwillingness to denuclearize without formal recognition.
President Zelensky of Ukraine is quoted expressing frustration over Russia's continued aggression and criticizing Trump's insufficient support.
Through a series of analyses, the hosts argue that Trump's foreign policies are undermining the United States' standing globally. They point out how other nations are pivoting towards alliances that exclude or diminish U.S. influence, thereby weakening traditional American diplomatic power.
Wrapping up the episode, the Meiselas brothers summarize the pervasive frustration among international leaders towards Trump. They highlight the collective move towards stronger multilateral relationships that bypass U.S. leadership, signaling a potential shift in global power dynamics.
The hosts encourage listeners to reflect on the implications of these developments for future U.S. foreign policy and global stability.
Key Takeaways:
This episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast offers a comprehensive analysis of the geopolitical fallout stemming from Donald Trump's actions, providing listeners with an insightful understanding of current international tensions and the shifting landscape of global alliances.
