Donald Trump is clearly having the worst transition and I think presidential history. He is nuking himself because all he knows how to do is destroy. Just take a look at the fake agency, the make believe agency that he came up with, Doge, or I should say Elon Musk, his co president and Vivek Ramaswamy came up with, they are bragging about firing millions of people who work for the federal government who do jobs that actually deliver services to we the people. This is what Vivek Ramaswamy, MAGA Republican is bragging about today. He goes, I'm hearing via allies that federal government unions are scrambling to update their collective bargaining agreements to avoid getting fired. The prospect of being asked to return to the office five days a week like most working Americans apparently has them in tears. So for all of the unions or the union workers who are like, they, they got our back. No, they're actually literally mocking you right now. Also from a new New York Times piece, uh, Donald Trump plans to stop issuing citizenship affirming documents like passports and Social Security cards to infants born on domestic soil, to undocumented migrant parents and a bid to end birthright citizenship. So all of the people out there who were like, no, not my abuelita, no, they're not coming for us. There's some family values exception, no, they are coming for you. And Tom Homan, Donald Trump's border czar, went on the news and made his intentions very clear. Here's what Tom Homan said earlier today. Play this clip. We have seen one estimate that says it would cost $88 billion to deport a million people a year. I don't know if that's accurate or not. Is that what American taxpayers should expect? What price do you put on national security? Is that worth it?

Mass deportation without separating families? Of course there is. Families can be deported together. This is what the Trump transition is spending their time doing. I think they want to attack every single American other than maybe their kind of core MAGA base, who, by the way, they're still attacking. But perhaps they're too delulu to realize that's what's going on. Here's the newest one. Here's from the New York Times. Trump allies, Trump allies eye overhauling Medicaid, food stamps in tax legislation. Republican leaders looking for ways to offset the cost of lower taxes are considering changes to safety net programs for the poor. So in other words, in order to offset the enormous cost for their tax cuts for billionaires, Trump advisors and congressional Republicans are now in discussions about cutting your Social Security, cutting your Medicaid, cutting food stamps, cutting other programs that Americans rely on so that the billionaires can get more benefits right here. Meanwhile, you have Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell signaling to others in the Senate that under no circumstances should they allow Donald Trump to have unfettered recess appointments, meaning RFK Jr. Matt Gates, Peter Hegseth, Christy Noem, all of these individuals need to go before the Senate and they need to be grilled. They need to be asked questions. Oh, but by the way, the type of questions Matt Gates should be asked. Well, what's in that ethics report? In addition, what we're learning is that Matt Gates apparently took the girls to Fox News to watch him. He would traffic them, According to sources ABC's reporting to watch him at Fox News. He brought them to the Broadway play Pretty Woman. The lawyer for the girls went on CNN and talked about how Matt Gates would use his purported adopted son Nestor's phone as a way to venmo the money to the girls that he was trafficking. Well, let's take a look here. By the way, a new report from ABC is that Trump has confirmed reports that he plans to declare a national emergency and use military. And use the military to enact his bloody mass deportation program. You mean exactly what we were reporting here on the Midas Touch Network that he was going to do. Wait a minute. For someone who claims he didn't know what Project 2025 plans were, he seems to be implementing each and every one of them as we said he was going to do. In terms of the complete cluster, you know what? That is MAGA as well, I kid you not. Right now, according to Pornhub, MAGA tops the charts in searches during the 2024 election. Specifically, MAGA supporters in Florida continue to search MAGA nudes. What the world there. What? In any event, also MAGA Republicans Marjorie Taylor Greene and Nancy Mace say that they are going to be introducing new legislation that will ban trans women from Capitol bathrooms. And specifically, when they were asked how they intend to check out who is qualified to use the ladies room, they just spewed a bunch of anti trans rhetoric. Should also be noted as the K file at CNN reports Trump is now under 50% in the popular vote with his margin ranking 44th out of 51 election since 1824. Four Democrats won Senate seats in states Trump carried compared to zero in 2016 and 2020. The GOP is poised for its smallest House majority since the US had 50 states. And you just take a look here, one of the smallest electoral victories ever. And Donald Trump just had. One of the top analysts at Citibank, Rob Rowe, talks about how he's predicting a recession because the markets are shifting from political uncertainty to policy uncertainty. Now why would the markets be shifting to policy uncertainty when you're naming people who may be compromised by Russia to be the Director of National Intelligence. And Tulsi Gabbard, a potential sex trafficker in Matt Gates, to be the attorney general. Someone by the name of Peter Hegseth, a Fox News weekend host who allegedly paid off a woman who accused him of sexual assault from 2017. A Fox News host with zero experience to become the Secretary of defense. Christie. No. A dog killer who killed her dog, Cricket. Who would have thought that the markets would think that there's uncertainty there? By the way, as Vladimir Putin continues to laugh at Donald Trump and show nudes of Melania on Russian state sponsored tv. Yeah, Donald Trump, who ran on a. Who said, I'm going to protect your women MAGA men. I'm going to, whether they like it or not, I'm protecting women. Has the Russian authoritarian leader is showing nudes of his own wife. I mean, first off, how pathetic can you be as a man to say, oh, I need Donald Trump to help protect my wife. That's what I need. I need Donald Trump to help protect my wife as Vladimir Putin, by the way, is showing nudes of Donald Trump's wife. I mean, you can't even make this stuff up, folks. Meanwhile, Fox has their top surrogates representing the MAGA movement. Who are the leaders? Are they renowned generals or top scientists or the top diplomats or oh no, it's Hulk Hogan and they go on Laura Ingraham. And Laura Ingraham's question is, can you do the Trump dance? Hulk, can you do the Donald Trump dance? Hulk Hulkamania. Here, play this clip. Can you do the Trump dance for us, please? I want to see you do it.
