The Trump effect is real. All across the world we're seeing the MAGA Trump aligned candidates getting upset by the pro democracy candidates. On Sunday we saw this take place in Romania and Poland and over the past few weeks we saw the Trump and MAGA alignment candidates get upset in Canada and Australia. Also I think that it is not a coincidence that Pope Leo was someone who was very critical of Trump's position on, or I should just call it torture of migrants with JD Vance and that the Vatican elevated a new Pope signaling I think the belief that with Trump in charge, America is on the decline such that an American Pope could be selected. Let's break all of this down. I want to also talk about Donald Trump's unhinged responses throughout the day, but I think this post nicely sums everything up. They lost in Canada, they lost in Australia, Romania and Poland and I think we're going to be seeing more of this throughout the world. And again, if you looked at the results in Romania and you compared it to what was projected just a few days ago or especially even earlier in the month where the far right wing candidate there, Simeon George Simeon was expected to go on and win and he actually won the first round. No one had really predicted that there would be this type of commanding victory for the pro democracy, pro EU Centrist candidate Nicosia Dan going on to beat the MAGA aligned. Simeon, you go to Poland. We reported on this before as well. The liberal Warsaw mayor Rafael Trusowski went on to beat the MAGA Republican aligned candidate Carola, now Rocky in the first round of the presidential elections in Poland. June 1st will be the second round there. Let me just show you the respective celebrations very quickly here in Romania. The mayor of Bucharest, the next leader of Romania, here he is. You'll see him right here. Nicosure Dan, here he is right here. Let's play it. And here we see in Poland Trzkowski, the centrist. Let's play the crowd right there. Let's play it now. In addition to just these elections, one of the things we're seeing as well is the world recognize how much of a bad negotiator Donald Trump is and how weak he is and how Donald Trump has just been capitulating and or announcing fake deals. When Donald Trump got outmaneuvered by China, that was a watershed moment where Trump claimed he had a deal with China last week after meetings in Switzerland, but obviously there wasn't a deal. They reached a consensus where the United States completely caved and withdrew 145% tariffs that Trump said was going to make America so rich and moved it to 30%. Also, you dig into the fine print of not even the fine print, just the big print of Trump's purported deal with the uk Not a real deal at all. It actually says this is not a real, says it's not an actual binding deal. But what it would do is give significant advantages to Jaguar, Land Rover and Rolls Royce over American car manufacturers. So the whole world is seeing that. Also Moody's, the credit agency, downgraded the U.S. a credit score for the first time in Moody's history since 1917. The world sees all of that. And right now, China, US Trade truce, that's how Bloomberg calls it, more like capitulation by the US Prompts all of these other nations to consider tougher tactics against Donald Trump. Quote, there are many countries that may learn from China that the correct way to negotiate with Trump is to stand firm, firm, remain calm and force him to capitulate. Now, right before the markets open this morning, we see that the treasury futures are in a steep decline after Moody's cut the US Credit rating bonds getting drilled right now, as Spencer Akimian puts it, at the open 4.53% is the 10 year yield. Is that going to hit a five handle soon? That's what I'm gonna be focused on. When I say five handle, I mean 5%. And this is gonna impact everything from causing mortgage rates to skyrocket. It's gonna make it very difficult for the United States to refinance its debt. And this disastrous budget deal, or this budget bill rather, that Trump is pushing through, it's gonna add about $6 trillion to the deficit. And it just last night, very late last night, was approved by the Budget Committee on a vote of 17 to 16, with those four previous no votes abstaining and just not voting. But it passed the Budget Committee by one vote. It now goes through the next steps, but we're seeing as well the markets, at least the futures, which is when I'm recording this, showing a steep decline as well on the news of Moody's downturn, downgrading the United States credit. Now, this would be something, this would be a time where you'd want real leadership, right? Nope, not from Donald Trump. All throughout yesterday, he was posting weird memes of himself holding swords that he reposted from QAnon death cult accounts like spiritual street fighters 17. That account says I support QAnon is basically what it says. So Trump keeps reposting QAnon death cult stuff. He also was posting weird videos of himself. I guess he was so self conscious of the fact that Bruce Springsteen was mocking him or criticizing him for the disaster he's caused to Americans. Trump was posting weird AI images of himself playing fake music in front of a fake crowd. Very bizarre behavior indeed. And then Donald Trump was posting calls for military tribunals to put former president President Obama on military tribunals. Also repost from those QAnon accounts. I mean, look, this is a demented sicko, a vile piece of trash, a felon, a fraud, a sexual abuser who behaves like a maniac. You know, would you be like, oh my God, Jeffrey Dahmer, he behaves. He's eating people. He's, he's a mass murderer. Well, he's just, he's a disgusting, vile murderer. That's who he is. When you look at Donald Trump, he is a criminal felon, fraud, bankrupter. He behaves as such. There's a reason that people like Donald Trump should be locked up in prison for the rest of their lives, in my opinion, and not running a country. We're seeing the effects of this right now. And then surrounding themselves with other vile and despicable individuals like the Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, who's worth basically a billion dollars, who previously lived in a. This is how weird these people are in a real world, a real life version of the pink Barbie mansion. That's where he lived. Uh, and here he was doing the morning shows yesterday, blaming former President Biden for the reason that Donald Trump was taking bribes from Qatar. Play the clip.

Lisa Schneider
Sends the wrong message. It sends the wrong message and raises concerns ethically, raises concerns constitutionally and about security. Why is it appropriate for the president to accept a $400 million jet from Qatar?
- [10:02]
Kristen
Well, it's not. The president accepted. It'd be the United States government. And Senator Mullen said this weekend that the talks had actually begun under the Biden administration. So, Kristen, what I can tell you is I think this is a off ramp for many in the media not to acknowledge what an incredible trip this was. President Trump has brought back trillions of investments in the United States. Every stop we made that, the enthusiasm in Saudi Arabia, in Qatar, in the United Arab Emirates to invest in, in the United States, that they want to push more and more. They have funds here. And if we go back to your initial question on the Moody's downgrades, who cares? Qatar doesn't, Saudi doesn't, UAE doesn't. They're all pushing money and they want to. They've made 10 year the, they made 10 year investment plans. So this administration, we're doing peace deals, trade deals and tax deals.

Political Analyst
Now. Also on the morning shows, though, you had a former Vice President Mike Pence, who was actually very critical of Donald Trump taking gifts from Saudi Arabia, which was, which supported 9, 11, cutter, which supports Hamas. Here's what Pence had to say yesterday playing this clip.
- [11:27]
Lisa Schneider
Going to accept a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar to use as a table, temporary Air Force One. He said he'll eventually donate that to his presidential library. Do you think President Trump should accept a military aircraft from Qatar?
- [11:44]
Mike Pence
Well, I, I think first we got to remember who Qatar is. We, we've got a military base there. I have members of our immediate family that have deployed to the region. But Qatar has a long history of playing both sides. They support Hamas, they supported Al Qaeda. Qatar has actually financed pro Hamas protests on American campuses across the United States. And so the very idea that we would accept an Air Force one from Qatar I think is inconsistent with our security, with our intelligence needs. And my hope is the President reconsiders it.
- [12:26]
Political Analyst
And here Pence talks about how despicable it is for Donald Trump to be in Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the United Arab Emirates questioning the attacking United States leadership in the world in Saudi Arabia. Here. Play this clip.
- [12:45]
Mike Pence
Kristen. I've never been a fan of American presidents criticizing America on foreign soil. And to have the president in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror and describing it as nation building and intervention, as I thought, was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform, who took the fight to our enemy in Afghanistan and in Iraq, and particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 9, 11 hijackers hailed from and not including Osama bin Laden, I thought was unfortunate.

Political Analyst
Now, let me just show you what the Democrats were saying. Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen. Here's what he had to say. Play this clip. Donald Trump's visit to the Middle east.

Mike Pence
My view is the overall narrative here.

Political Analyst
Was selling out US national interests for the private gain of his family business. He essentially gave away the crown jewels of American AI and semiconductor technology to the Gulf in exchange, in exchange, it looks like, for a $2 billion investment.

Mike Pence
In the Trump family stablecoin venture.

Political Analyst
I did a whole other video about this, but let me just say it at the end of this video, of course, our heart goes out to President Biden and his family. After that horrible, horrible cancer diagnosis. We, we did a whole, it was, it was a very tough one for me to get through that video I did yesterday and, you know, our deepest, heartfelt, you know, sympathy. What just send positive thoughts to the Biden family right now. I, I had the opportunity to be one of the last reporters, I may have been the last reporter to interview former President Biden inside the White House in December 2024. Here, play this clip. When history is all told, how do you want to be remembered? What do you want your legacy to be?
- [14:53]
Joe Biden
I kept my word that when I said I was going to do something, I did and that my focus has always been about how to give ordinary people a shot. You've probably heard me say it before. My dad used to say, joey, a job's about a lot more than a paycheck. It's about your dignity. It's about respect. It's about being able to look your kid in the eye and say, I'm going to be okay, and mean it. It's about being able to be yourself and focus on people who need some help. And the vast majority of American people, all they want is a chance, just a chance, and they'll do fine.

Political Analyst
