Forged by the sea so Donald Trump just initiated a trade war with China. He says he wants to occupy Gaza. Right now, all parcels inbound from China are not being allowed into the United states, per the U.S. postal Service. Donald Trump has offered buyouts to get rid of the entire CIA. He's gutted the entire FBI counterterrorism division and continues to fire more FBI agents. At the same time as Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with the leader of El Salvador, talking about shipping American citizens to prisons in El Salvador. And then you have Vladimir Putin just mocking the United States and also mocking Secretary of State Rubio statements that he doesn't want to see the United States as one of the main powers. Rubio says he sees this as a multipolar world where China, Russia and US May play a role. If you add all of this together, the playbook seems fairly obvious about what would you do to try to destroy the United States of America. This is not something, whether you are a Republican or Democrat or independent from a red state or a blue state, you should be horrified by this. Donald Trump's government freeze of funds, although they claim that it's actually not frozen, it's affecting red states more than it's even affecting blue states. But it's affecting everybody in the country. Donald Trump is destroying, if not has totally destroyed by now US Aid, which provided billions of dollars abroad as part of America' soft power leadership to help countries, to help others and to thereby help America's national security. Donald Trump is next going to be gutting the Department of Labor. So great work. To the leader of the teamster, Sean O'Brien, who took all of those photos with his thumbs up with Donald Trump and Mar a Lago and said Trump's going to be good for Labor. Donald Trump's about to destroy the entire Department of Labor. Donald Trump also said today he's destroying, or yesterday he said he's destroying the Department of Education. And he wants Linda McMahon, who hasn't even been confirmed yet, her first act, to be to totally gut and destroy the Department of Education. And again, red states depend far more than blue states on Department of Education funds. But this is the havoc that Donald Trump is causing. Oh, and by the way, while all of that is going on, Donald Trump has revoked the temporary protected status of, of all America, of Americans who relied on it, like 600,000 Venezuelans. We know the Venezuelan, Venezuelan community were big Trump supporters. And now Donald Trump cut a deal with Nicolas Maduro, the totalitarian dictator of Venezuela who seized power despite losing the election. Sound familiar where Trump's going to revoke the temporary protected status of Venezuelans, for example, in southern Florida who, who supported Donald Trump, who are big Trump supporters. He's going to take him and either send him to concentration camps or at Guantanamo Bay or send him back to Maduro. Maduro will probably kill them and torture them. The leopards are eating your faces, by the way. This is Susie Wiles, Donald Trump's chief of staff. You see her face right there? That's the face of many a Donald Trump chief of staff and advisor. When Donald Trump said he was going to occupy Gaza, send US Forces for a permanent occupation, Donald Trump said he wants to level it, destroy it, and then he says he's going to take Palestinians and just put them in other places. To which even in Saudi Arabia, they had to respond at 4am in the morning. And they said, yeah, that's not happening. We will not have any relations with Israel until Palestine is recognized as a state. But Donald Trump was acting as Benjamin Netanyahu's butler during Benjamin Netanyahu's visit. By the way, even Netanyahu was uncomfortable visually standing next to Donald Trump as Donald Trump was saying the quiet part out loud. And Netanyahu's like, I think he's even going a little too far with what you're saying, Donald. But this is the psychopath running the United States of America right now and destroying our strength. Let me just show you this. This is Donald Trump serving as Benjamin Netanyahu's butler. Let's play this clip right here. As our editor in chief Ron Philip Koski said, I guess what's the best way to distract from just losing your a trade war or your threatened trade war against Mexico and Canada the day before. Oh, well, why don't you say your next move for your next act? You're going to level Gaza and have a United States military occupation of Gaza. Because by now the truth is out. And I think one of the main reasons the truth is out is thanks to platforms like ours that said that Donald Trump's deals with Canada and Mexico for Donald Trump's threatened tariffs were fake deals. Canada already had $1.3 billion in border security plans months ago. They didn't give Donald Trump anything. They said they'll maybe have a. A Fentanyl czar. Donald Trump went from threatening to take the sovereignty of Canada and to conquer it and make it the 51st state. Okay, I'll settle for a. You want to give me a fentanyl czar? And the same thing that you were doing months ago under Biden and that you then reannounced a month ago or two? Yeah, let's do that then. When it came to Mexic Mexico, Donald Trump agreed to have Mexico put 10,000 troops at the border. Mexico already has like 15,000 troops, so Trump agreed to less troops at the border by Mexico. And Donald Trump also agreed with respect to Mexico to impose an obligation on the US to look at and investigate United States gun shipments into Mexico. So Mexico got the better of that negotiation anyway. Here is Donald Trump at this press conference with Netanyahu yesterday saying the US Is going to take over Gaza. We'll level it. We'll own it. Here, play this clip.
