Donald Trump returned to Washington, D.C. after that disastrous speech he gave before the United nations in New York. And this is what Donald Trump saw when he landed in Washington, D.C. right in front of the Capitol Building in the Washington Mall. A spray painted bronze statue titled Best Friends Forever showing Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands. It was placed right there in the National Mall in front of the US Capitol early on Tuesday to greet Donald Trump when he returned from New York. It's an honor of Friendship Month. It says we celebrate the long lasting bond between Donald Trump and his closest friend, Jeffrey Epstein. And then it has the birthday card that Donald Trump sent to Epstein. There must be more to life than having everything than on Jeffrey Epstein statue where it's holding hands with Donald Trump. Nor will I since I also know what it is. Yes, we do come to think about it. As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you. And then Donald Trump statements yes, there is, but I won't tell you what it is. We have certain things in common, Jeffrey. Enigmas never age. Have you noticed that? A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday. And may every day be be another wonderful secret. Meanwhile, this is how the United Kingdom is framing Donald Trump's disastrous UN speech in their Daily Mirror. Deranged, reads the headline. Trump rants to United nations about climate migrants, Gaza, Sharia law in London, escalators, marble floors and teleprompters. Yep, a completely deranged maniac. I wish more American media would report like that because that's the truth. But to be fair, when you look at the Cincinnati Inquirers page one, the main paper over there, they're reporting on things like this. Utility bills spike by 77% since 2020. But Donald, you said that you've destroyed inflation, that prices are at all time lows. Nope. Energy costs for people's homes are at all time highs right now and they're only going to be getting higher with AI data centers, crypto mining, and with the reckless Trump policy there too. There are serious recession indicators that I think it's important that we talk about because corporate news ain't talking about it. So while construction payroll growth is still popping positive year to year, the pace that we're seeing right now is getting close to what we typically see at the beginning of a recession. As Kevin Gordon writes, in fact, it's at the same pace today as it was when the 2001 recession started. There are more indicators as well. Nevada employment growth is turning negative year over year, which in the past 35 years has meant the US is in a recession. More data points US soybean harvest, which began in September, it began without a single order, not one from China, the world's largest buyer. Now, in a typical year, China buys more than half of all U.S. soybean exports. Go to agriculture.com for the data right there. Go to successful farming. Look at The Bloomberg report on it as well. China ain't buying anything, but they are focused on getting their soybeans now from Brazil, who Donald Trump's attacking. Oh, and who else is benefiting now from China's retaliation against the United States? Argentina. But wait a minute. The United States is bailing out Argentina who otherwise is suffering, but they're screwing our farmers. They make this make sense. As Senator Elizabeth Warren writes, donald Trump wants to lend $20 billion of our money, of taxpayer money, to bail out Argentina's leader, Javier Malay and his global investors before the Argentina midterm elections. Oh, and Argentina just struck a major deal with China that crushes American soybean farmers already suffering from Trump's tariffs. I guess that's what America first means. Wall Street Journal writes Javier Milei of Argentina is counting on Trump to bail Argentina out of an economic mess. Donald Trump to the rescue. A leading Argentine columnist wrote of the US Support of Milei as he grapples with popular anger and market turmoil. But wait, didn't Donald Trump and Elon Musk and all of these MAGA leaders claim that Javier Malay was going to make Argentina so great? And didn't they report that the Argentina GDP was soaring? Didn't they say everybody invest in Argentina? Now I remember they made those posts. Oh, you mean to tell me that they're kind of MAGA puppet in Argentina screwed things up and now American taxpayers were bailing out Argentina while Donald Trump guts the programs in America that takes away our health care here? Oh, that sounds about MAGA to me. While Donald Trump builds 90,000 square foot ballrooms in the White House Club Rose Garden, as Donald Trump gallivants to the United Kingdom where he hangs out with King Charles and Windsor palace, as Donald Trump talks about building UFC stadiums around the White House and bails out Argentina. Yeah, because that's what Americans want right now. As grocery prices have never been higher, as there are recession like indicators all around, as the job market is absolutely terrible, as the Trump regime is ripping away Americans health care. Yeah, bailout Argentina first and let's call that America first. By the way, a lot of these MAGA people invested in Argentina. That's one of the reasons that Trump wants to bail them out, to bail out the idiotic MAGA investors who would be harmed. Right. They're always the ones getting the bailouts. But oh, when it comes to student debt, when it comes to American healthcare, when it comes to American education, when it comes to teachers, those are the people who get screwed. So here we have, you have Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant this morning saying the plan is this guy's so arrogant. The plan is we're going to bail him out. We're going to help him out. That is America first. That's America first, dude. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessens just that arrogant shit eating grin on. That's what we're going to do. Yeah, dude, you are an idiot. Here, play this clip.
