We are now learning that Donald Trump's been telling his staff on this Middle east trip that the reason he absolutely needs this gold plated $400 million 747 jet from the Qataris is that he just feels humiliated when he has to meet the royal families of these Middle east nations who are giving his family all of this money and he has to go around in the regular Air force. He says that he needs a gold plated Air Force One so that his jets can look like their royal jets and that would make him feel stronger when he meets with them. This is the latest reporting from the Atlantic. I'm not making that up folks. And why would you think I am? I mean, that's Donald Trump's personality to a t. Trump has told aides and advisors that it is humiliating to him when he has to show around and show up and fly around in an outdated plane, and that foreign leaders are laughing at him when he shows up to these various summits in older versions of the Air Force One. You think that's why they're laughing at you? Maybe they know how weak and pathetic you are, that they know that you are an easy mark to manipulate. They know, like Qatar, whose entire annual GDP is $200 billion a year, that all they have to do is tell you that they're going to invest 1.2 trillion DOL dollars in the United States, like six times what their actual GDP is and you'll believe that or you won't even care because you're a con artist to begin with. You'll then give them all of the benefits that they want. Meanwhile, they're out there funding Hamas. You'll be out there doing what the Saudis want while you attack our allies in Europe, while you attack our ally in Canada, while you attack our allies abroad. You want to know, Donald, what people are laughing at? They're laughing at when you send emails like this. This is the email from Donald Trump to his supporters this morning. Please open this email. If you love me. Open this right now. If you love me. Do you love me? He sent this one on May 10, but he sends this one like every other day. Do you love me? Open this email. That's what the president of the United States is sending to grift off his supporters. And of course it asks for financial contributions to. Seriously, Donald Trump is out there posting things like this. Like he loves being in royal palaces. I mean, do you see how gaudy he's made the Oval Office where he painted like fake gold statues around the Oval Office. Here's what Donald Trump is posting this morning. America first, am I right? Trump attends state dinner at Lucille palace in Qatar. Oh, Donald, you and the regime are at Lucille palace in Qatar while American people can't even afford groceries. While you promise to bring prices down and they are going up, while you promise to make housing more affordable and housing is less affordable. While you've utterly destroyed the bond market right now, the 10, 20, 30 year treasury yields, they may hit a five handle. They're heading towards 5% which is going to screw with mortgage rates. And by the way, you know what Walmart just announced, Donald? The tariffs are more. This is what the Walmart CFO said this morning. So while you were out there in Lucille Palace, Donald, I know living the lavish life with the royals in Qatar who give you bribes. The tariffs. This is from the Walmart cfo. The tariffs are more than any retailer can absorb. It's more than any supplier can absorb. And so I'm concerned that the consumer is going to start seeing higher prices. You'll begin to see that likely towards the tail end of this month and then certainly much more in June. Also, one of the things that we've been talking about and other analysts like Brussels is saying it as well, the bond market is not buying, being Trump, the Trump regime fraud. And that is because fixed income investors are sniffing out the logic of economic populism amid a move toward trade protectionism, which strongly implies higher inflation and rising long term yields. You Want to know what the European Union and Japan think about you, Don, as you go on these foolish trips to the Middle east and announce your fake deals? As you announced your fake deal with the United Kingdom where the only thing that actually came out of that fake deal was that Jaguar, Land Rover and Rolls Royce got preferential treatment over American car manufacturers. Donald. In comments before a European Union meeting of trade ministers in Brussels, he said the European Union should not jump too fast. The block, he said, did not need a quick deal. Donald. And that seemed to be the sentiment of others, such as Japan. EU ministers aim far higher than that British US Trade deal. European Union trade ministers want a more ambitious trade deal than what took place with the UK because they want to do a fake deal with you, Donald. You want to know why people are laughing at you as well? Donald, While you were in Qatar, this was the speech that you gave. You talked about that you're not a huge believer in stealth because you don't like the shapes. You said you don't like the shapes. The hell are you talking about? Play this clip.
Donald Trump
And so I want to do that. And sometimes, you know, stealth, they do stealth. I'm not a huge believer in stealth because stealth is basically a lot of it's to design into shape and, you know, I'm sure you maybe think. But also, if, if that's the case, they're going to figure it out pretty fast, I think. So you're going to design an ugly plane for stealth reasons and then six months later they're going to figure out this, and then you're stuck with a plane. Now we're, we're doing a Super F22 and we're going to be going with it pretty, pretty quickly.

So if you want to get science y about it, Studies show that C15, it works by strengthening our cells, improving our mitochondrial function and protecting us against damaging free radicals.

It protects them from future breakdowns. It boosts mitochondrial energy output and activates pathways in the body that help regulate sleep, mood, natural repair mechanisms that support our overall health.

I D A S and you went on to say that we're no longer losing $1 trillion because you paused all trade to China for one month and therefore we're not losing a trillion dollars. You have no clue what you're even talking about here.
Donald Trump
Play this clip fund is just pay off debt we're making. We're making a lot of money. We had, we had a situation six months ago. We were losing $5 billion a day on trade. Now we're making money on trade. Don't forget we were losing a trillion dollars to China. So we essentially went cold turkey with China for a period of a month. Therefore we weren't losing a trillion dollars. You know, I think that's pretty simple. Scott. Right? Scott did a great job over there. They made a deal. They have great relationships with China.

You might, I mean, is he the biggest laughing stock or what? What? I mean, look at when he said this. We're a laughingstock. Play this clip.

Now there were supposed to be very important diplomatic discussions in Turkey today where Putin originally said that he wanted to negotiate directly with Zelinsky. Zelinsky said, I'll negotiate directly with Putin in Turkey. Donald Trump, you show up. Donald Trump is not showing up to Turkey. And Donald Trump claims because he's not showing up to Turkey, that's why Putin is not showing up to Turkey. So, so this is the art of the deal. After telling Zelinsky he should show up because y' all were going to show up, now you don't show up. Oh, a master at work. A master at work. Here. Play this clip.
Donald Trump
Jennifer, go ahead.
Political Commentator
You're disappointed by that?
Donald Trump
No, I didn't anticipate. I actually said, why would he go if I'm not going? Because I wasn't going to go. I wasn't planning to go. I would go, but I wasn't planning to go. And I said, I don't think he's going to go if I don't go. And that's turned out to be right. But we have people there. Marco, as you know, is doing a fantastic job. Marco's there, Secretary of State, and we have people there. But I don't. I don't. I didn't think it was possible for Putin to go if I'm not there. Jennifer, do you have an update, sir, on this?

Here's Donald Trump talking about F35s. He says he wants to call them F55. He loves to, like, name things. I'm going to call them F55s. And maybe we put four engines on them. I like four engines, maybe eight engines, but they, they look ugly. What are you talking about? Play this clip.
Donald Trump
Great, great display. So we're going to see that. But one of the things for the people that are interested in the military that I asked to look into, the F35, we're doing an upgrade, a simple upgrade, but we're also doing an F55. I'm going to call it an F55, and that's going to be a substantial upgrade. But it's going to be also with two engines, because the F5 35 has a single engine. I don't like single engines. Even this man, he's the best in the world at engines. But on occasion, I know you won't admit this, if an engine goes out, it's nice to have two, three or four. That's why I like the 747. It's got four. But today they're getting very big, and it's a little more cost saving to have two very, very big ones. But no matter how good, you know, they tell me, Larry, the engine will never go out. Well, I think it goes out.

Two more pieces of data that I want to give you this morning. Number one, the Trump Kushner grift in Serbia just hit a snag. They're trying to build a hotel in. Where is it in Serbia? Trump Kushner Hotel, Serbia, hits a snag over an alleged forgery. Serbian authorities say an official admitted to forging documents allowing a protected site in Belgrade to be demolished and replaced with a Trump hotel yet. So Trump wanted to demolish a historic site using forged documents in Serbia. Does that shock you there? And then here's Donald Trump's post this morning. Some all caps. You can't even read these things because they're just so incoherent. I mean, just physically look at this post. Big case today in the United States Supreme Court. Birthright citizenship was not meant for people taking vacations to become a permanent citizens of the United States and bring their families with them all the time, laughing at the suckers that we are for Donald Trump. I just want you to think about this guy. Everybody in his mind, everybody's laughing at him. Oh, they're calling a sucker sucker. Suckers. They're not going to like my jet. They're not going to like my. America was the most powerful nation in the world. We were on top of the world where, where all of the countries put their money. Why would they be laughing at us and then trusting the United States with their money? Why was the dollar the world's currency? Why were our bond markets so strong? Why was it that foreign investors would always want to buy homes in the United States? That because they were laughing at us. It's because they're laughing at you, Donald. It's because you're a pathetic, vile piece of trash. Felon, sexual abuser, fraud, bankrupter. Maybe they're laughing at you, but not what our country is. And now they're laughing at our country because of you. You're trying to tamper with the Supreme Court's decision making today. Just stay the hell at Lucille palace in Qatar. Why don't you just do that? Because that's what you seem to like, you know, if you don't like our Constitution. Look, maybe people go, I don't, I don't like birthright citizenship, by the way. I, I'm fine with it. I like it. But let's say people don't. You know how you deal with it. Maybe you pass a law, maybe you pass a constitutional amendment. Maybe you go through a process that's due, due process. Why don't we call it due process. Why don't we go through the system that we have in America versus you signing some phony executive order and decreeing things? That's my view today. Hit subscribe.
