Donald Trump just had a psychotic meltdown during a speech before the National Republican Congressional committee in Washington, D.C. donald Trump started off by saying, we can't call the war in Iran a war because then I would need congressional authorization. So we're just going to call it an operation. Then Donald Trump concluded the speech the by attacking the Supreme Court and calling the right wing justices who he appointed criminals. And then he just started like screaming at the Supreme Court. He was like, you're a bunch of criminals. You're a bunch of criminals and you're costing our country hundreds of billions. It was a complete psychotic meltdown. Let me show you what went down. You're going to want to watch this full video also because make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel. Right now we're on our way to 7 million subscribers. Also subscribe to Scott McFarland's YouTube channel. Search @Scott McFarland News. An honor to have him here at the Midas Touch Network. So Donald Trump began the speech by saying, I won't use the word war because then I would need congressional authorization. He's just admitting that he's violating the Constitution with this disastrous war in Iran.

Let's play this clip.
Donald Trump (Speech Clips)
But they're doing it for two reasons. No, number one is they want to deflect from all of the tremendous success that we're having in this military operation. I won't use the word war because they say if you use the word war, that's maybe not a good thing to do. They don't like the word war because you're supposed to get approval. So I'll use the word military operation, which is really what it is. It's called a military decimation. But they don't like the good publicity. They don't like to see us succeed. They want to see our country fail.
Scott McFarland
Then Donald Trump lies and said, Iran wants to make a deal so badly, they're just scared to make the deal because we would kill them.
Scott McFarland (Clip Introducer)
Here Play this clip like we're doing
Donald Trump (Speech Clips)
in the Middle east with Iran. And they are negotiating, by the way, and they want to make a deal so badly, but they're afraid to say it because they figure they'll be killed by their own people. They're also afraid they'll be killed by us. There's never been a head of a country that wanted that job less than being the head of Iran. I don't want it. We listen to some of the things they say. We hear them very clearly. They say, I don't want it. We'd like to make you the next supreme leader. No, thank you. I don't want it.
Scott McFarland
Then Donald Trump says, but the good news is we've never been respected the way we are right now. We are the hottest country ever. Everybody loves the United States of America. He says, deranged.
Scott McFarland (Clip Introducer)
Let's play this clip.
Donald Trump (Speech Clips)
Also highly respected again. Perhaps we are now respected like never ever before. I don't think we have ever been as respected now. You know, if you think about it, a year and a half ago, our country was viewed as a joke. We were a joke all over the world. They were laughing at us. How stupid we were, how weak, how pathetic. Now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world. We're the hottest country in the world. King of Saudi Arabia said it.
Scott McFarland
Then Donald Trump says, you know the funny thing, I thought oil prices were going to be way higher. I thought Americans were going to have to pay much more money for their gas and that the stock market would be hurt even more. I'm surprised that things are looking so good right now for the American people. Deranged.

Donald Trump (Speech Clips)
So as we rebuild it, it's going to come back very quickly. It's already back. I mean, it's back went down a little bit. I actually thought when I went on this excursion, as I call it, excursion into hell, excursion into a terrible place. When I went on to do something that for 47 years should have been done by any of the other presidents and you heard numerous of them said they wished they did it, but they didn't have the guts to do it. We had no choice. But I thought it was much worse. I thought that the energy prices, oil price would go, go up higher. I thought the stock market would go somewhat lower, but it didn't matter. To me, it's short term. What we had to do is get rid of the cancer.
Scott McFarland
Then he goes on to say, you know, the cost of energy and electricity would have been so bad if Biden and Kamala were still in office. Do you realize you've caused economic calamity right now we're watch what he says here.
Scott McFarland (Clip Introducer)
Let's play this clip.
Donald Trump (Speech Clips)
But the cost of energy and electricity would be the highest ever, which it was prior to this administration. Inflation would be soaring to country record levels. You know, we had the highest. I inherited the highest inflation in the history of our country. They say 48 years. What difference does it make? The highest in the history of our country. And our nation would be ravaged by rampant crime woke lunacy and transgender for everybody. That's where we would have been. People would have been flowing into our countries at the same levels they were. They were destroying. They were destroying.
Scott McFarland
And then he just starts shouting, dirty rotten cheaters. He goes, dirty rotten cheaters.

Scott McFarland
I'm just going to skip to this part then I'll go back though. I'll skip to the end of the speech because this is where it got super deranged, where he starts attacking what he calls rogue judges and the Supreme Court. And he's like, the Supreme Court didn't want to put a sentence at the end of it and they screwed me.
Scott McFarland (Clip Introducer)
Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump (Speech Clips)
Judges. We got rogue judges that are criminals. They're criminals. What they do to our country, the decisions that they hand down and hurt our country. And I could tell you something, I've gone through it and the decisions that these people make. I got a decision on tariffs that's going to cost our country, not me. I do it a different way. Different way going to cost our country hundreds of billions potentially of refunds, giving them back to people that have been ripping off our country. Because the Supreme Court didn't want to put one little sentence that all money taken in up till this date doesn't have to be paid back.
Scott McFarland
He then calls these Supreme Court justices he appointed criminals. He goes, they're a bunch of criminal. I mean, this is literally deranged. That's why when I give you the title psychotic meltdown. What the hell are we watching here?

Bad courts in this country are costing us a tremendous amount of money. And the Supreme Court. That's right. Of the United States cost our country all they needed was a sentence our country hundreds of billions of dollars. And they couldn't care less. They couldn't care less. And not that it matters. Does it matter at all, but two of the people that voted for that I appointed and they sicken me. They sicken me because they're bad for our country.

to an earlier portion of the speech where he started bragging to the National Republican Congressional Committee that we settled eight wars. He goes people forget I'm the peace guy. I've settled so many wars.
Scott McFarland (Clip Introducer)
Play this clip 100%.
Donald Trump (Speech Clips)
But I do. We did a lot. We settled eight wars people sort of forget. And we're winning another one. I tell you, we're winning so big, nobody's ever seen anything like we're doing in the Middle east with Iran.
Scott McFarland
And then he says that the American people don't get to see how great we're doing in the war on in Iran because of all the videos about the TSA lines. It's a cover up. And the media showing the TSA lines. So we're not seeing how good the war is actually going.
Scott McFarland (Clip Introducer)
Play this clip.
Donald Trump (Speech Clips)
It was because they don't want to settle. They want chaos, as I said. So there are great military triumphs against Iran can't be displayed on television because they're displaying airports.
Scott McFarland
In fact, what we have learned from an NBC exclusive earlier this morning is, is that Trump's advisors, if you even want to call him that, prepare hype reels for him two minutes each day where they just show the United States bombing things in Iran. And then they say, you see how great the war is going. Everything's amazing, Donald. And that's how he's getting his news about the war deranged. Donald Trump brags about getting trillions of dollars from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. Well, guess what, Donald, they were paying you for play, pay for play, quid pro quos. Now you've got Qatar energy completely destroyed. You've set back the growth and development of these Mideast nations that were trying to diversify away from oil and develop tourism sectors. You've gutted it, you've destroyed it for real. Even if this war ended tomorrow, which it's not, you've destroyed the future of these nations. And that's going to have a ripple effect on not just their economies, but the world economies. These are people who invested in the United States stock market and real estate and various funds.
Scott McFarland (Clip Introducer)
But play this clip.
Donald Trump (Speech Clips)
King of Saudi Arabia said it. He said, sir, I was in Saudi Arabia, came back with $2 trillion for our country. I came back with 2 trillion from Saudi, 2 trillion from Qatar, 2 trillion from UAE. All the great. They're all fighting. They got hit. Nobody expected they were going to get hit. It made them angry and they came to our side immediately, all of them and others.
Scott McFarland
But in Donald Trump's like, we're so hot. We have the hottest party right now.

Donald Trump (Speech Clips)
Congratulations. Well, we have a hot party. We have a very hot party. And we have a group that likes to see our country in trouble and we're going to do something about it. But I want to.
Scott McFarland
And then MAGA Mike Johnson says that. Great speech, Donald. Donald, great speech. We've created an award for you. It's called the America First Award.
Scott McFarland (Clip Introducer)
Watch this.
MAGA Mike Johnson
The president has done so much for the American people, and we want to honor him in some small way, some token of our appreciation for his leadership. And so tonight, we have created a new award. We have. We're going to do something we've never done before. We're going to honor him with a new award that we'll present annually from this point forward. But he is the suitable and fitting recipient of the first ever America First Award. We can think of no better title for what that is. That's this beautiful golden statue here, appropriate for the new golden era in America. And we want to let you know before we bring the president out and
Scott McFarland
more for MAGA Mike Johnson. And MAGA Mike Johnson goes. You know what? We inherited such a mess from Biden and Kamala and Donald, you fixed it. We are in a golden age right now. America is thriving. There's peace across the world. Everything is more affordable. Promises made, promises kept. Donald, we did it. If you think I'm exaggerating that craziness, let's play the clip right here to
MAGA Mike Johnson
take just one moment and thank everyone for being here. You are such a big part of this team. That's exactly right. The beginning of the second Trump administration will go down in history as one of the most consequential of all time. You think of the messes that we had to fix from the four years of Biden and Kamala Harris and the disaster that the Democrats brought in every metric of public policy. We had to fix everything. And we got to work in January with the mandate that the American people gave us to do just that. It is all attributed to leadership. And President Donald J. Trump is. Will go down as clearly one of the greatest, if not the greatest presidents of all time. That is no kidding.
Scott McFarland
Oh, and then of course, it's not a Donald Trump speech unless he attacks Obama. So here he is attacking Obama.
Donald Trump (Speech Clips)
Obama gave them the absolute right title and interest, gave everything to Iran. You remember that when Bibi Netanyahu came over and begged him not to do it. He gave Iran the right to have a nuclear weapon at the highest level within a very short period of time. And I terminated that agreement as soon as I came to office. And if I didn't terminate it, that weapon would have been used three years ago, would have been used a long time ago. Then we stopped it a second time with those beautiful B2 bombers. They went in and they knocked the hell out of the nuclear potential. And if they didn't do that attack, Iran would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks to four weeks after the attack.
Scott McFarland
Then he says, we need to start chanting, make America great again. Make America great again.
Scott McFarland (Clip Introducer)
Play this clip.
Donald Trump (Speech Clips)
The greatest phrase in the history of politics, Make America great again. It really is the greatest. It's the greatest. And we probably have to start. We'll never, we'll never abandon that phrase, but we'll probably have to start changing because when you say make America great again, that means it's not great now. We've made America great. We've rebuilt our military. You know, I rebuilt our military in the first term. I didn't think I'd use it this much, but we've used it and there's no military like it anywhere in the world. We have the.
Scott McFarland
And then Donald Trump describes the war in terms of what a 4 year old, no offense to 4 year olds, would say. He was like, they shot 100 missiles at our thing. 100 missiles at our thing.

Donald Trump (Speech Clips)
Their navy. We knocked out everything. It's amazing. We have the greatest military, we make the greatest military equipment. And now, if you notice, I said you got to make it faster, got to make more of it because we need it all made in America, but we make the greatest. You know, we had an attack. 100 missiles were shot by Iran at a very important thing that we had. I won't tell you what it was for certain reasons. 100 missiles going 2000 miles an hour were coming at this element of importance. Tremendous power and importance.

Title: Trump Has Psychotic Meltdown over War in Disaster Speech
Date: March 26, 2026
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas (MeidasTouch Network)
Special Guest: Scott McFarland
This episode centers on a breakdown and analysis of Donald Trump's controversial and erratic speech delivered at the National Republican Congressional Committee in Washington, D.C. The Meiselas brothers, alongside Scott McFarland, react to a series of clips from the speech, highlighting Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric regarding the ongoing war in Iran, his attacks on the Supreme Court (including justices he appointed), and a cascade of bizarre, self-congratulatory, and misleading statements about his administration’s “successes.” The episode uses humor, critical insight, and pointed commentary to spotlight the dangerous nature of Trump’s behavior and the delusional narrative being constructed around the current administration.
(02:57–04:20)
Trump opens his speech by refusing to call the conflict in Iran a "war," stating that using the term would require congressional authorization:
“I won't use the word war because then I would need congressional authorization. We’re just going to call it an operation.” (Donald Trump, 04:21)
Scott McFarland observes:
“He’s just admitting that he’s violating the Constitution with this disastrous war in Iran.” (Scott McFarland, 04:20)
(04:21–08:53)
Trump insists the military action is a “military decimation,” and claims overwhelming success and international respect:
“Perhaps we are now respected like never ever before. ... Now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world.” (Donald Trump, 05:57)
Trump suggests Iran desperately wants to make a deal out of fear, even joking that no one wants to be Iran’s supreme leader:
“No, thank you. I don’t want it.” (Donald Trump, 05:05)
Trump frames the American economy as thriving because of his decision to wage war, minimizing negative consequences:
“[The war is] back, went down a little bit. ... I thought the energy prices, oil price would go, go up higher. ... But it didn’t matter. To me, it’s short term. What we had to do is get rid of the cancer.” (Donald Trump, 06:50)
(07:56–10:49)
Trump falsely blames the prior administration for high inflation and crime, attributing current stability to his leadership:
“Inflation would be soaring to... record levels. ... Our nation would be ravaged by rampant crime, woke lunacy, and transgender for everybody.” (Donald Trump, 07:56)
Trump erupts into accusations about election fraud:
“Dirty cheats. Dirty rotten cheaters.” (Donald Trump, 08:45)
His anger crescendos as he targets federal judges and the Supreme Court, including those he appointed:
“Judges. We got rogue judges that are criminals. … Because the Supreme Court didn’t want to put one little sentence… they sicken me. They sicken me because they’re bad for our country.” (Donald Trump, 09:12–10:15)
(12:49–13:51)
Trump claims, “We settled eight wars,” and paints himself as a peacemaker amidst active military conflict:
“People forget I’m the peace guy. I’ve settled so many wars.” (Donald Trump, 13:06)
He blames the media for focusing on negative stories (like TSA lines) instead of his supposed military triumphs:
“They want chaos. … So our great military triumphs against Iran can’t be displayed on television because they’re displaying airports.” (Donald Trump, 13:37)
Scott McFarland exposes that Trump is shown daily ‘hype reels’ of U.S. bombings in Iran by his advisors:
“That’s how he’s getting his news about the war — deranged.” (Scott McFarland, 13:51)
(15:01–15:27)
Trump boasts about receiving “$2 trillion” each from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, implying personal and national enrichment linked to military action:
“‘I came back with 2 trillion from Saudi, 2 trillion from Qatar, 2 trillion from UAE.’” (Donald Trump, 15:02)
Scott points out the inherent corruption:
“They were paying you for play, pay for play, quid pro quos. Now you’ve got Qatar energy completely destroyed… Even if this war ended tomorrow, which it’s not, you’ve destroyed the future of these nations.” (Scott McFarland, 14:25)
(15:55–18:00)
House Speaker Mike Johnson lavishes praise on Trump and introduces him as the first-ever “America First Award” winner, further enshrining the personality cult:
“He is the suitable and fitting recipient of the first ever America First Award…this beautiful golden statue here, appropriate for the new golden era in America.” (MAGA Mike Johnson, 15:55)
“The beginning of the second Trump administration will go down in history as one of the most consequential of all time.” (MAGA Mike Johnson, 17:14)
(18:06–18:59)
“Obama gave Iran the right to have a nuclear weapon at the highest level… If I didn’t terminate it, that weapon would have been used three years ago.” (Donald Trump, 18:06)
(19:04–20:31)
Trump launches into “Make America Great Again” rhetoric, even as he proclaims the slogan might need to be retired because he’s already achieved greatness:
“We probably have to start changing because when you say make America great again, that means it’s not great now. We’ve made America great.” (Donald Trump, 19:04)
Describes military actions in childlike terms:
“100 missiles were shot by Iran at a very important thing that we had. … 100 missiles going 2,000 miles an hour were coming at this element of importance. Tremendous power and importance.” (Donald Trump, 19:52)
Scott McFarland:
“It was a complete psychotic meltdown.” (02:57)
“This is literally deranged. That’s why when I give you the title ‘psychotic meltdown’ — what the hell are we watching here?” (10:01)
Donald Trump:
“I won’t use the word war because ... you’re supposed to get approval.” (04:21) “Dirty cheats. Dirty rotten cheaters.” (08:45) “Judges. We’ve got rogue judges that are criminals…” (09:12) “They sicken me. … They’re bad for our country.” (10:15) “We settled eight wars, people sort of forget. And we’re winning another one.” (13:06) “King of Saudi Arabia said it... I came back with $2 trillion for our country.” (15:02)
MAGA Mike Johnson:
“We have created a new award... the America First Award... this beautiful golden statue here, appropriate for the new golden era in America.” (15:55) “President Donald J. Trump will go down as clearly one of the greatest, if not the greatest presidents of all time. That is no kidding.” (17:14)
The episode is characterized by caustic humor, exasperation, and pointed mockery of Trump’s rhetoric. The MeidasTouch hosts (and Scott McFarland) offer running commentary, highlighting the dangerous disconnect between Trump’s statements and reality, the cult-like adulation of GOP leadership, and the broader threat to democracy.
This episode delivers a scathing, highly entertaining, and thorough critique of both Trump’s destabilizing speech and the alarming normalization of his behavior by Republican leaders. The brothers’ sibling banter and Scott McFarland’s incisive commentary keep the analysis lively, fast-paced, and accessible for listeners hoping to understand the stakes — and the spectacle — of contemporary American politics.
