On the employment side, I have a hard time finding employees for my apartment. But then there's other sectors that are, you know, letting go hundreds of people. Yeah.

And as this account, Maine explains. How is this real life? Donald Trump yesterday, waddling around the White House looking sickly, cognitively dysfunctional, holding up charts. He doesn't even know what the charts actually say. But he's trying to make the point that all the job numbers are rigged and all the bad economic data is rigged. So he just walks around with charts and he's like, you like this chart? Do you like this chart? Do you like this chart? What about this chart here, play this clip.

News Reporter (7:58)

Let's talk about the real facts, folks. Stagflation is coming to the United States. I think it's here already. Surging inflation, rising, unemployment, GDP getting lower. That stagflation for you folks, that is what is happening right now. If you speak to anyone who runs a business, the tariffs and the uncertainty around it, Donald Trump's attacks on business. Donald Trump's arbitrary, capricious, reckless behavior is anathema to business. It's crushing and killing businesses. If you just look as well at the share of the consumer price index items that are rising faster than 4%, it's ticked up recently. As Carl Quintanilla explains, It's near 40%. Hat tip to Kevin Gordon for that as well. It's near 40% of all things. Inflation's up above 4%. That's the direction where this is heading. Everyone's like, oh, well, we haven't seen inflation yet with all of the tariffs we have. First off, we have. Prices are up. I don't know what world you're living in, but the world I live in, when I go to grocery stores and when I go shopping, things are significantly more expensive. So I don't know what world you live in. But also now is when all of the stuff that Donald Trump did is taking effect. So we are seeing it month by month and we're going to see it now for the next several years that that's what's going to happen. And as Donald Trump severs relationships across the world that we're trying to be cultivated. I mean, we're seeing, I've done lots of videos on this, but we're seeing other world alliances form. Prime Minister Modi of India will announcing, yes, we'll be visiting China for the first time in over seven years. That meeting is confirmed. Trump's ire against India is mystifying and shortsighted. India will now distance itself from the US and draw closer to Russia and even China. I agree with that. That's from a Bloomberg piece. India had been planning to send its Defense Minister, Rajnath Singh to Washington in the coming weeks for an announcement on some of the purchases, on military purchases and war weapon purchases that has been canceled as well. And there's very little evidence that foreign exporters to the US Are reducing their prices. And that's an indication that foreign exporters realize that US Businesses and eventually consumers that are bearing the brunt of that are in. Consumers that are the ones who will be bearing the brunt of this tariff induced inflation. That's from CBS News right here as well. And then I just wanted to show you this because this is who this vile Trump family is. And as I've always said, all of the stuff that I believe I reported on should never be this is a red issue or a blue issue or a purple issue or a Democrat issue or Republican issue. I'm just letting you know the objective facts. Right versus wrong, good versus evil. Right. It is wrong and evil for Donald Trump to cover up the Epstein files and then release Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum security facility. Waive the requirement that sex traffickers cannot be at this facility that's right by the Texas A and M campus and then offer her use immunity and potentially pardoner that that's evil, that that's bad behavior. And then you have Donald Trump's son, Don Jr. Who runs all of these. Like, uh, he's, he's now, you know, grifting and making all of this money and. And things adjacent to what his dad, what his dad's job. But then you have Don Jr yesterday posting on Instagram a photo of his dad on the roof of the White House throwing a green penis at female basketball players who are playing below the White House. And you go, oh, well, he's just being funny. It's not funny. There's no, you know, Donald Trump says he was being funny and sarcastic when he said he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours or when he would end the war in Gaza. That was sarcastic. That was a joke. Y' all are in very serious positions, and that comes with great responsibility. There's times and place we could have humor. Go to a comedy show, that's funny. You're around the dinner table and people are telling jokes. It's not funny when you have the President of the United States in real life on a roof, like earlier this week, pointing around saying, I paid for all of this. This is my money. I paid for all this. This is my money. What are you doing up there, sir? What are you doing up there, sir? He goes, I'm building weapons. What? Nuclear weapons on the roof. You're building what? Nuclear weapons. And the reporters were all like, he's saying, oh, he's building nuclear weapons. Okay, first off, as I've said, it's like you're viewing him like he's the gorilla at the Los Angeles Zoo. He smiled at me. Look at the gorilla. He went out with his little kids. He smiled at me. Okay, first off, that's ridiculous. Trump was really on the roof. Why are you posting as the family in the presidency, photographs of Donald Trump throwing green penises at female basketball players playing below him? It's not funny. It's not humorous to me. I don't get the joke. I think it's low class. I think it's. I just think it's gross. I think it's gross. And to me, that's not even a political point. They're just. They're gross, grifting, freaking people. And that's what it kind of comes down to me more than the. I wouldn't want these people to be around my family. Why would I want them to be leaders in this country? It's ridiculous. Anyway, hit subscribe. Let me know what you think. Let's get to 6 million subscribers.
