Donald Trump was rage posting at midnight last night. This is what he was posting, literally at midnight. The polls from the fake news are like the news itself. Fake puts that in all caps, exclamation point. We are doing great and that's in caps. Better than ever before. Then his next post. The USA lost billions of dollars a day in international trade under sleepy Joe Biden. I have now stemmed that tide and will be making a fortune very soon. Stay tuned as we make America great again. You just wait two more weeks. There'll be peace in Ukraine. Two more weeks. He and Xi Jinping are going to cut a deal. Two more weeks. There's going to be 90 trade deals that are going to be made. Two more weeks and everything's just going to be better. That's why I call this the Ponzi scheme or rug pull presidency, because literally everything he says is a lie and is a fraud. You know what's interesting too is that, you know, Donald Trump was trying to get the support of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, and they were like, kind of fairly supportive of him. You know, you saw the head of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, the dock workers, acting like he was supportive of Donald Trump. They just put out a policy statement opposing tariffs and saying, you're costing us all our jobs. You're destroying the economy. What the hell are you doing, Donald? You know, I'll tell you, one of the things that he was doing is he wanted to stage that propaganda scene in front of the White House with the Eagles. You know, the White House, they invite the winner of the super bowl every year and the various sports championships every year. Shout out to most of the Eagles who did not show up. That probably pissed Donald Trump off. I don't know. How many players did you have here? Maybe less than half the team. And all their. A lot of their superstars didn't show up. Notably, notably their quarterback Jalen Hurts didn't show up. AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jalen Carter and others did not show up. And they said they were scheduling conflicts, but they obviously did not want to be used as props and propaganda for an individual who's destroying the United States of America, sending migrants to concentration camps, and someone who has a history of being racist and attacking black people. It's Donald Trump's background and past. Let's talk about the Canadian election. Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party went on to win the election as of this recording. And things are evolving quickly. As of the time I recorded this, even though it was called that it would probably be a Liberal minority government. I don't think the official call has been made yet, but that's the status of where we're at. But it was unheard of that the Liberal Party would win this election. That's called the Trump effect right there. So Prime Minister Carney will stay the prime minister, at least for another period of time. I'm not sure when the next elections will be. We'll see what type of coalition, you know, is formed there, depending on the results. But the Canadian voters seem, though, universally to hate Donald Trump. We heard a lot of things like this from Canadian voters here. Play this clip.

Canadian Voter
I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I'm sorry to say, an ass. And he shouldn't. He shouldn't even be President of the United States. But because he is, we need a strong person so that we can stand strong.

Yeah. And look, Donald Trump is a wrecking ball to the world order. He's screwing over the United States. Worst of all, you see this from freight waves. You know, we've been geeking out on the freight and trucking volume data here on the Midas Touch Network now for what? Ever since Trump declared Liberation Day, which is really liquidation day, Great Depression day, recession day, whatever you want to call it, we've been really focused on freight volumes because I wanted to see, are the ships leaving the ports of Shanghai and coming to Long beach, are they leaving from other ports in China and heading to the West Coast? And when I see that stopping, that means that products aren't going to reach our shelves. That means we're going to be missing products and things that we need here in the United States. That means scarcity is coming. So Donald Trump can say things are great. But the big hit, the way I've described it, is like in a tsunami, where the, you know, the shoreline, it goes, pulls back and pulls back and pulls back, it recedes and then the tsunami hits. Like, that's what's happening right now. And when Donald Trump says it's a miracle, things are great. Tariffs are both the greatest thing in the world and they're going to make us rich, according to Donald Trump. But also he's working on all of these deals to get rid of the tariffs, and he's using it as leverage. None of it makes sense because it's all a big fraud. The same way Trump's been a fraud, a felon, sexual abuser his whole life, most of his life. That's. That's what he's doing right now. You know, the fraud and the fraud and abusive personality fraud and, and just the lies here. This is from freight waves. No way we can make up for the 30 to 60% lost volumes from China via other countries due to tariffs, said Miller. Unless the 145% China tariffs are dropped very soon, I don't see a scenario where this could take place. China and Trump aren't even talking as a list of this recording. He's no deals, Donald. He hasn't been able to make a deal with even places where there were no tariffs, even places where there was trade surpluses. Even places he hasn't been able to make a deal with like South Korea. Hasn't announced a deal with Japan yet. He hasn't been able to make a deal with Australia. You know, he hasn't been able to make a deal with Europe. He blew up actual trade deals that existed that were benefiting the US Donald Trump can act like we were getting screwed. We were being taken advantage of. No, we weren't. America was leading the world. Capital infusions from the world went into America. America was viewed as the, as the safest, most stable economy. We were winning. We were number one under former president objectively and now we're losing objectively. This from the Wall Street Journal. So Donald Trump to soften the blow of automotive tariffs. Companies paying Trump's car tariffs won't also be charged for other levies based on what Trump's going to be announcing ahead of Donald Trump's to Michigan today. He's heading to Michigan for rally outside Detroit where he's just going to lie about everything. He's announcing that he will be softening the automotive tariffs. But you claim that they're working and they're making us rich. So why would you soften something that's making us rich unless you're just a fraud, which is what he is. You see this moment where speaker of the House MAGA Mike Johnson was asked by CNN why is the American public souring on Trump's policies? Here, play this clip.
- [07:14]
Mike Johnson
I'm not worried at all. I just had a great meeting with the President at the White House and he's in good spirits. We talked about the upcoming races, the midterm elections and we're very bullish on it.
- [07:23]
Ben Meiselas
Why is the American public souring and his policies?
- [07:26]
Mike Johnson
Listen, you know these are presidential terms or roller coasters sometimes. There's been a little tumult in the markets with the tariff policy and all of that, but I think all this is settling out.
- [07:36]
Ben Meiselas
Oh yeah. Yes. That's why. Because it's a roller coaster. Maga, Mike. That's. That's the reason. It's a. It's a roller coaster. No, it's because people hate him. Is he's destroying the American dream. He's destroying America's economy. He's destroying our alliances. I know that you know that. I had some pretty bad allergies.

He goes, thank you to my wonderful friends in Michigan. It's going to be great to be here today. We're doing great. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That was in advance of him showing up to Michigan today for this rally that he's going to do. Who the heck knows what this rally is even going to be about? It's going to be, it's going to be insane lie after, of course, we'll cover it here on the Midas Touch network. Oh, and by the way, make sure you check out the virtual governor's town hall I'm hosting tonight at 8 Eastern, 5 Pacific on our YouTube channel. I'll be hosting it live. We got four Democratic governors we have we talk about in our community page. Check it out. It's going to be an incredible virtual town hall. While all of this is going on too, though, I want to mention this. The right wing influencers like Benny Johnson and others are saying that all of the polls that show that Donald Trump is underwater, they're all fake polls. They're saying they're all psyops and that they're not real polls. The Fox poll, the Pew Research, the Reuters Ipsos poll, they're saying, you know, they claim all of them are psyops, all of them are false, every single one they go, which is just utterly ridiculous. What were they doing at the White House yesterday? Well, they had new media show up and they were, this is like their priorities. What they were talking about, they were talking about getting rid of truckers who don't speak English and getting rid of Uber drivers in Florida who don't speak English. Like here was a class right here, Here was a question right here that was asked, you know. Well, it wasn't even a question. It was like a weird statement by their, by this right wing influencer person. They were like, well, I just want to let you know that my Uber drivers in Florida don't, don't only speak English. Thank you, Trump. You did this here, play this clip.

Caroline Levitt
An accessible presidency in American history. So with that, let's kick it off and I'm happy to take your question first. Erin.
- [11:39]
Erin
Thanks so much, Caroline, both for having us and for granting me the first question here.
- [11:43]
Caroline Levitt
Sure.
- [11:44]
Erin
And I can attest to the deportations in Florida. My Uber drivers finally speak English again. So thank you for that. But my, my question for you is what are the administration's plans for those who continue to defy the executive orders? Most notably on my mind are the ones related to what some would call trans men. I would call men masquerading trans women, which are men masquerading as girls in girls sports.
- [12:04]
Caroline Levitt
Sure. Obey federal law or you will be prosecuted. Obey federal law. And you could see your federal funding cut whether you are at college or university. We have seen the president again using the leverage of this administration and to negotiate deals with some of the biggest colleges and universities in this country. And if they don't want to come to the negotiating table to apologize for the federal laws they have broken, to apologize for allowing Jewish American students on our nation's campuses to be unlawfully bullied and harassed, then there's going to be consequences for that illegal behavior.

Ben Meiselas
What in the world are they even talking about? And this is Caroline Levitt bragging about making sure truckers only speak English. Here, play this club.
- [12:49]
Caroline Levitt
And then the third executive order, which actually speaks to the heart of your question earlier about the Uber drivers, will be a order directing the Department of Transportation to include English literacy tests for our truckers. This is a big problem in the trucking community that unless you're in that community, you might not know. But there's a lot of communication problems between truckers on the road with federal officials and local officials as well, which obviously is a public safety risk. So we're going to ensure that our truckers, who are the backbone of our economy, are all able to speak English. That's a very common sense policy in the United States of America. So the president will be signing that later this afternoon. Yeah, you're welcome to the back in the yellow tie.
