Donald Trump is facing sudden humiliation. On Saturday, right before the White House Correspondents Dinner was set to take place, Donald Trump canceled a comedian from hosting the event this year to try to avoid getting made fun of, to try to avoid humiliation. But the humiliation ritual Donald Trump experienced this morning is his worst nightmare. First in Iran, Iran's foreign minister Iraqi, left Pakistan as he said he would, without having any meetings at all with Steve Witkoff or Jared Kushner. The foreign minister of Iran previously made it clear we are not going to Pakistan to meet or negotiate with the United States. We had pre scheduled meetings with the Pakistani government and we are going to leave as soon as those meetings are done. And despite the Trump regime promising everybody that there were negotiations that were going to be taking place in Pakistan on Friday, as we said, that was all part of market manipulation Friday, Iraqi left Pakistan left the Trump regime humiliated. And now Donald Trump is saying the following. I've told my people a little while ago they were getting ready to go to leave to go to Pakistan and I said, nope, you're not making an 18 hour flight to go there. We have all the cards. They can call us anytime they want, but you're not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing. Donald Trump now frantically calling the media to make excuses why Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are not going to Pakistan to meet with their counterparts from Iran after they promised negotiations were going to take place. We at the Midas Touch network were saying, don't believe all of the propaganda coming out from the media. It's all a lie. Iraq, she says there's no meeting taking place. We were correct. And Donald Trump now has been utterly humiliated. More humiliation rituals internationally as well, where we're hearing from the administration both in the UK and in the Falklands. Donald Trump previously has been attacking NATO as we know, throughout his term. In this past week, Donald Trump threatened that he was going to ban Spain from NATO and he was going to take the Falkland Islands from the UK and give it to Argentina. Now the Falklands government is saying, hey Trump, you're a bully. Back the hell off. Also, the United Kingdom is saying we should probably just reclaim America. If you're going to start attacking land that is part of our kind of sovereign sphere of influence, as you probably know, from 1982, there was the Falkland Island War that was fought between the UK And Argentina after Argentina's dictatorship invaded the Falkland Islands. The Falkland Islands as recently as 2013 voted to stay with the United Kingdom when there was a national referendum there. Donald Trump and Javier Milei, Donald Trump's little puppet in Argentina, said, okay, we're gonna give the Falkland Islands to Argentina. And Javier Milei says, yay, we're gonna do this, Donald. It's ours now. And the UK and the Falkland Islands saying, get the hell away, you bully. More international humiliation for Donald Trump. But the humiliation doesn't stop there. In Washington, D.C. before the correspondents Dinner is set to take place on multiple buildings in Washington D.C. there is a projection of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein together, going through Trump and Epstein's very close friendship, close relationship, and going through Donald Trump's cover up of the Epstein files, the COVID up by the Trump DOJ of a child sex trafficking ring. That's what will greet Donald Trump when he returns to Washington D.C. if he returns to Washington D.C. because as you'll recall from our reporting earlier this morning, Donald Trump fled Washington D.C. yesterday and he's supposed to return to Washington D.C. today. As we've been reporting and as our sources have been telling us, the pressure for Donald Trump has been so intense, he's been running around the White House panicking, frantically ranting and raving like a lunatic, going on social media, making just despicable, incoherent posts. I'll show you that in a moment as well. He ran and fled essentially to Mar a Lago to hang out there for half of a day. Maybe he wants to go golfing on the taxpayer dime. Maybe he wants to try to grift and do some fundraising for himself. And he's supposed to return today, but we'll see if he ultimately returns today. He's going to be back because you have King Charles who's going to be in the United States for a state visit on Monday because Donald Trump loves kings. Donald Trump is very much pro king, but King Charles will be here early next week. And as part of the humiliation ritual that we're talking about from Donald Trump, guess what type of flags were lining Washington D.C. to celebrate King Charles his arrival in Washington D.C. the Australian flag. Yes, folks, the Trump regime does not know the difference between the flag of the United Kingdom and the Australian flag. I get it could be a little confusing for people like Donald Trump who don't understand that you can't reduce prescription drug prices by 600%. And yes, I mean, there, the colors look the same, I guess, but there were Australian flags to greet the, the King Charles when he arrives. And I would say this is a humiliation ritual as well. What does being reported this morning. But frankly, it's so dastardly and disgusting and vile that, you know, it's, I guess, a humiliation ritual looking internationally at what the United States is doing to its own troops right now. But it breaks my heart to see what's going on right now on our aircraft carriers. As we previously reported aboard the Gerald FRAND Abraham Lincoln USS Tripoli, our Navy members were basically being starved on these ships. It's no different than the way Donald Trump treats contractors and employees. Donald Trump believes our military are a bunch of suckers and losers. That's what Donald Trump refers to them as. And so we reported previously about the food that they were being served. And the Trump regime was like, no, that's not the food. We're giving them gourmet meals. And it's incredible the food that they're getting. Well, new photos have emerged from Newsweek from the USS Abraham Lincoln just this morning showing service members receiving minimal food portions as reports grow that some troops have lost significant weight and aren't receiving their care packages, while the Pentagon denies any shortages. So what's Donald Trump doing to try to flex and act like a tough guy with all of these humiliation rituals? Well, nice that you asked that question. Dozens of U.S. air Force planes were seen in dumping equipment nonstop in the Middle East. At the same time, Donald Trump was lying about negotiations with Iran taking place in Pakistan, which we told you. Don't believe it. It's a total lie. Don't believe any American media that's publishing it. Remember, that's what I've been saying all day. And lots of people like, oh, Ben, you're being hyperbolic. Are you rooting for Iran, man? Why are you giving Iran side? I'm not rooting for Iran. I'm rooting for the facts. I'm rooting for the truth. And sadly, even the Wall Street Journal editor at large said that it's a sad fact that in this war, in this conflict, the Iranians are giving more truthful information than the Trump regime is giving. That's not to say Iran's giving straight up facts. All of the time they're involved in war propaganda, we get it. But more frequently when it comes to the negotiations themselves and when they're taking place, it seems that Iran has been actually far more accurate than the Trump regime. And that's, I guess, an easy threshold to clear. Because the Trump regime lies about literally everything. As I've said before, every word, every syllable, every sound out of Donald Trump's mouth, even the. And the oz and the snoring when he sleeps in public during press conferences is a complete and utter lie. It's a farce. So what's Donald Trump doing this morning, you ask? In addition to panicking and getting humiliated as he's there? Just think about it. He's in Mar a Lago right now, right? He's supposed to be at the White House Correspondents Dinner tonight, which he's basically ruined the event by banning comedians, right? So he's sitting there, oh, seething. He's seething. He's angry. And he's going, what should I post? What should I post? Barack Hussein Obama. Barack Hussein Obama. So he posts this image right here of the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial. And he's showing the reflecting pool that I guess looks like it has, you know, that looks a little dirty. And he says, hussein Obama, that's his reflecting pool. And then Donald Trump shows what he wants the reflecting pool to look like, as Trump's priority is the reflecting pool. Now, apparently, after the ballroom was blocked and he's doing triumphal arches and all of this crap, but that's what he's posting this morning. And then he's sending his sycophants out there, like Tammy Bruce, who's one of his spokespeople. And you would think from what she's saying here, she's talking about Trump. But no, she's talking about Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and she's also talking about how, what, the United States should seize the Falkland Islands and give it to Javier Malay in Argentina. How damn embarrassing and pathetic is this? Let's watch. Let's watch this. These losers here. Play this first clip.

But, yeah, I mean, somewhere, Winston Churchill is rolling over in his grave. Yeah, his, his numbers. When it comes to doing things for, for the people of his nation, it's a sovereign nation, but the people of his country are also not happy. His approval numbers are not good at all. It's. It's a statement that you know, every. No matter where you live and who you are, you want to be. You want your leadership to make sure that you can count on tomorrow, that you know it. The future will.

Political Commentator (13:16)

And here she is attacking NATO because that's what they do here. Play this clip.

Political Analyst (13:19)

Maybe the dynamic with Spain will change that maybe we should not. Maybe they shouldn't be part of NATO anymore. Maybe we shouldn't support a NATO that includes countries that are not supportive. Is that, is that a real possibility? Well, you know, I won't speculate even on hypothetical, certainly. But what we do know is that when you've got a force that comes together to be a deterrent, everyone must work together, that it is a partnership. The president has shown people what partnerships

Political Commentator (13:47)

can, you know, with Donald Trump to again, seem like a tough guy while he's getting utterly humiliated because he's a loser and a vile piece of trash and a lifelong loser. What else is he focused on? The Justice Department is announcing that it will readopt the firing squad. Oh, you're so tough, Donald. The firing squad. And I just want to remind you all what the fake, what real fake news, what real propaganda news, what real regime media was doing on Friday when Caroline Levitt went on Fox, remember this? And she said, I can confirm that special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are off to Pakistan to meet with the Foreign Minister of Iran. And that's why we got out there quick on Midas Dodge Network. And we're like, that ain't happening. That's not happening. We know what's happening in Pakistan. We've been studying it. We've been focused on it. We know what's happening in Iran unless and until the naval blockade from the United States ends in the Persian Gulf and the United States agrees to the 10 point framework with Iran that the US previously agreed to. And unless and until Donald Trump stops his social media lunatic ranting and raving and behaves like a normal freaking human being, could we have as a bare minimum threshold that Donald Trump behave like adult, like a grown up human being and he can actually do an adult negotiation. Let's start with that threshold with Iran. Iran's like, we don't want to negotiate with you because the moment we show up in a room with you, you lie about the meetings and you make it really weird and gross. The fact that Iran is saying that right now and they don't want to meet with, with the United States, think about that. That tells you everything about how weak Donald Trump has made the United States right now. It is a sad sight. But here was Caroline Levitt doing what Caroline Levitt does. A lion. Here, play this clip.

So can you confirm that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are headed to Islamabad to meet with the foreign Minister?

Government Spokesperson (15:52)

Well, thank you, John, for having me. It's great to be with you as always. And yes, I can confirm special envoy Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be off to Pakistan again tomorrow morning to engage in talks, direct talks intermediated by the Pakistanis, who have been incredible friends and mediators throughout this entire process with representatives from the Iranian delegation. Look, the Iranians reached out as the President called on them to do and asked for this in person conversation. So the President is dispatching Steve and Jared to go hear what they have to say, and we're hopeful that it will be a productive conversation and hopefully move the ball forward towards a deal.

News Interviewer (16:54)

Let's this clip you think are you There are a lot of people who think that reporters shouldn't even go to the dinner because of everything you just delineated, which is just a small fraction of what President Trump has done in terms of his hostility towards the press. Do you think that we shouldn't be going to the dinner? What's your take on all that? Listen, I totally understand going to the dinner is part of the job. Showing face is very important. But I don't think we are obligated to show this administration any respect when they have treated media with maximum malice. Since Donald Trump entered the US Political scene, every single time he interacts with some journalists in the Oval Office, it is an incredibly combative interaction. The Pentagon is actively removing career journalists and replacing them with MAGA influencers. So I understand showing up in the industry, it's part of the job to show face. But at the same time, I don't think that we should treat this like it's normal. This is not a normal White House correspondent's dinner. It should not be treated as such.
