A panicked and terrified Donald Trump returning to Washington, D.C. after his golf outing this weekend as scandals, controversies, a crashing job market continue to chip away and blow up the most disastrous presidency already in the history of the United States. Folks, he's removed from his schedule today. All events. All it says he's doing today is having a lunch with J.D. vance. We'll see what takes place there. But he seems to be cocooning. He seems to be kind of a cornered rat right now as people continue to demand the Epstein files, as it becomes increasingly clear how much Donald Trump is in cahoots with sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, moving her to a minimum security facility in Texas. The Ghislaine Maxwell influencers who we've been reporting on before, they've been on social media Abu this weekend. Like her her name Jessica Reed Krause, one of the people who held those Epstein Binders Phase 1 she just posted on social media. Mark my words, Ghislaine Maxwell will be coming home soon. She's very close to the swat, to the White House. And she writes found out she has been moved to Brian Texas camp permanently. From there, she will be put on the home confinement plan and from there move back to wherever she is going to serve her. Her probation will let you know more as we find out. Still very much a lot going on. Jessica Reed Krause, very close to Donald Trump, very close to Ghislaine, bridging the White House and Ghislaine's relationship. And she says Ghislaine's almost certainly going to be released soon. So I guess that's what Donald Trump's been spending his weekend doing as well. We'll update you more on that when we know more. We'll see. She's been right so far. I don't know for a fact she's right here, but she's been right on a lot of things so far. So, so this has been a Disastrous return to D.C. from Donald Trump's golf outing. When he landed, he held a mini press conference where he claims that during the midterms, it's going to be great for the Republicans, he says, because we've already cut drug prices by 1200-1300-1400-1500%. He goes, I don't mean 50%. I mean 1500%. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump
What happens, Mr. President? What advice do you have for Republicans on Capitol Hill heading into midterms? What do they need to do? What can they do to, you know. Well, one of the things they're going to be talking about pretty soon are the tremendous drop in drug prices. You know, we've cut drug prices by 1200-1300-1400-1500%. I don't mean 50%. I mean 14, 1500%, because we're going favored nations. We want the same price as Europe gets. We want the same price as other country gets. And over the years, 25, 30 years ago, it started where they were charging us much more.
Political Commentator
Now, of course, it should be noted that Donald Trump fired precipitously, recklessly, arbitrarily, capriciously, maliciously. On Friday, the commissioner at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Donald Trump, claimed that the accurate numbers being reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is aggregated by dozens and dozens of professionals who handed over to the commissioner. But it's a large group, about 50, 60 people or so, who aggregate all of this data meticulously. Donald Trump said that data was rigged because it showed what we all know is happening. The job market is a crashing, very few jobs being created, signs of recession. Donald Trump didn't like the numbers. The same way he didn't like the outcome of the 2020 election. The same way he didn't like that he didn't win Emmy awards or whatever. So what does he say? It's rigged. It's rigged, it's rigged, it's rigged. So he fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner saying those numbers are rigged. But Donald Trump doesn't realize that you can't reduce something 1500%. But I guess he just thinks that his maga mush brain voters are so stupid that they don't know that. Speaking of which, Donald Trump then brags about Sydney Sweeney. This is the big issue that Donald Trump was talking about during his presser, and it says it in a very creepy way. It's like Sydney Sweeney, she likes me. Here, play this clip.
News Anchor
President actress Sydney Sweeney could not speak in that she was a registered Republican. Any thoughts on that?
Donald Trump
That?
News Anchor
Who was Sydney Sweeney? She's like a very hot actress right now.
Donald Trump
She's a registered republic. Oh, now I love her ad. Is that right? Is Sydney Sweeney. You'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans. That's what I wouldn't have known. But I'm glad you told me that. If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic. Okay, thank you very much, everybody.

Very strange stuff right there. Next, Donald Trump is asked about his relationship with Laura Loomer. 911 conspiracy theorist, someone who said the most hateful and horrific things. But she's been giving Donald Trump key advice. Who to hire at the Defense Department, who to hire at the State Department. So Trump getting rid of highly qualified, smart people, bringing in people like Laura Loomer. Here, Donald Trump praises Laura Loomer and says what a great person she is. Here, play this clip.
News Anchor
Mr. President, what is your relationship with Laura Loomer? What kind of influence with Laura Loomer? What kind of influence does she have?
Donald Trump
I think she's very nice. I mean, I know she's known as a radical right, but I think Laura Loomer is a very nice person. I've known her for a long time and, you know, personally, I think she's a patriot and she gets excited because of the fact that she's a patriot and she doesn't like things going on that she thinks are bad for the country. I like her.
Political Commentator
As Tom Nichols says, the President of the United States, affirming how much he values the advice of a conspiracy theorist with no qualifications in anything, of course. Laura Loomer essentially one of the key people running things behind the scenes. You see her right there at the State Department talking about productive day of meetings that she's having there. But Laura Loomer in the past has posted things like this. 911 was an inside job. She posted last year, September 8th. If Kamala Harris wins, the White House will smell like curry. And the White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center. And the America people will only be able to convey their feedback through a customer satisfaction survey at the end of the call that nobody will understand. A Laura Loomer said the following about Kamala Harris. Also, we need to start talking about Kamala sexual history and the reason she doesn't have children. I'm willing to bet she's had so many abortions, she's damaged her uterus. A woman who has no biological children of her own should not be allowed to make decisions regarding your children. Laura Loomer also says the following about Kamala Harris. She can't keep her mouth away from married men. She's a homewrecker. She goes on to say, it's called giving head to get ahead. It is very unladylike to give blowjobs to get jobs. Um, if Kamala wants to be treated like a lady, she should act like one. My dog's mouth is cleaner. After she gets done licking her own asshole, then Kamala Harris's mouth is. Kamala Harris is nasty. Trump is right. This is who Donald Trump is praising right there. This is who is a leader in the Trump government or someone who provides a lot of advice to Donald Trump who he embraces. She also locked herself to the Twitter headquarters several years back, a Star of David, and compared being banned for Twitter for her horrific statements back then when there was actually some moderation to being in a concentration camp. Also Russian tv, state regime, media in Russia mocking Donald Trump. I'm not gonna play this clip, but it's a clip where Donald Trump says that he has stopped many, many wars and that he stopped at least five wars already. And here's Russia mocking Donald Trump. Trump insists thousands dead in stopped under 50 die before Thai Cambodian peace brokered by Malaysia Care that president loose with facts. So here you have Russia continuing to invade Ukraine. Shahed drones from Iran and ballistic missiles hitting innocent Ukrainians, killing innocent Ukrainians every day. Putin mocking Donald Trump by showing nudes of Melania. Putin announcing, oh, maybe Donald wants to do some cultural work with Russia. We could do movies together or make songs together and saying things like that. Here's, here's Putin directing Russia to mock Donald Trump. And you know, because Trump saying, we did the peace deal between India and Pakistan, India's like, no, you didn't. And Trump's like, I did the deal between Thailand and Cambodia. And it's like, no, you didn't. Malaysia did that. Trump's like, well, I did the deal between Serbia and Kosovo. What are you even talking about? I did the deal in Rwanda and Congo, Right? And then Donald Trump earlier in the day attacked Charlemagne the God, the radio host from New York and the hip hop station and called Charlemagne the God, that's the guy's stage name, a racist, and then said, do you know what I did in Rwanda and Congo? And then he called Charlamagne the God low iq because that's how Donald Trump talks about black people. Low iq, calls black people racist, and then brings up Rwanda and Congo. That gives you some insight into Donald Trump's vile racist mind. Our editor in chief, Ron Philip Koski writes, the man who just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because their numbers supposedly weren't accurate just claimed that he lowered drug prices in America by 1500%. By the way, our research sleuths at the Midas Touch Network uncovered that over the weekend Donald Trump was cheating yet again. Yes, he cheated last weekend. He cheated this weekend as well. Now, it should be noted that Donald Trump claimed he won the golf club championship once again. And he claims he got a score of 69 based on Donald Trump's age of 79. Getting 69 for 18 holes, averaging less than a score of 4 per hole would be the greatest score in the history of anybody Donald Trump's age. And it would probably be good enough to win many PGA championships. Saying you scored a 69 on an 18 hole course, that that didn't happen. Okay, but that's what Donald Trump claimed. But here we have more video of Trump's caddy dropping balls at Bedminster, renewing the golf cheating allegations. Let's the footage is from this past Saturday, the same day the White House boasted Trump won his golf championship. I'll just play the B roll right here so you can see it for yourself. Another caddy caught dropping a golf ball for Trump. You see the B roll. Rick Riley, who wrote Commander and Cheat about Donald Trump cheating in golf from 2019, writes, so you know it's never legal for your caddy to drop a ball. You can drop one, but never on a green. And since this was a full Score event. It's not legal for Trump to drag the ball into the hole. No, never. Our present is. Our president is an effing golf cheat. And he's a cheat and a fraud in life as well. I reported this yesterday, but I think it's worth bearing again today. Remember what for months Donald Trump was saying about Doge? He was saying Doge was getting, was saving us so much money that we would all get a Doge rebate check. He called it a Doge dividend check, maybe even $5,000. I just looked at my emails just from the period of May, and there are close to a dozen emails of Donald Trump saying, Doge dividend check. Should I do a Doge dividend check?
News Anchor
Right?
Political Commentator
And I think his supporters, his MAGA mush brain, Ponzi scheme, they buy into it, whatever they were like, Doge dividend checks, fantastic. And I'm like, he's not giving you a Doge dividend check. Federal spending has been higher under Trump than it was under Biden. Significantly higher. Doge actually caused the government to spend more. And I haven't even added on the disastrous budget bill, which is going to blow up the deficit. It's going to cause us to incur so much debt. So even without the disastrous budget bill, Doge resulted in more money being spent in the federal government. Even with all of the cuts depriving countries of foreign aid, all of the horrific things that we've done, that, that have been done in the United States name more money has been spent. But now what they're talking about tariff rebate checks. That's their new scam, tariff rebate checks, Right. They claim no tax on Social Security. That wasn't even in the disastrous budget bill. They claim no tax on tips. Well, now people are making half as much money. They weren't declaring their tips anyway, as did you know, in their taxes to begin with. You have to declare it as a deduction, but you're making less money. And so you're not getting any benefits of no tax on tips and you're making less money. But now their scam is tariff rebate check. So, in other words, this isn't going to happen because Trump's a liar. But, but, but if you view the tariff rebate checks, we're going to tax you, the American people, more via essentially an 18% national sales tax. When you do a blended rate of the marginal tariff rate against the whole world, it roughly balances out to like 18%. So then what we're going to do is, even though you're going to be paying thousands of dollars more in taxes, essentially because Americans eat the cost of tariffs. Then maybe we'll give you back a few hundred bucks and you're going to have a net loss. Trump's not even going to do that. But that's what they're dangling out tariff rebate checks. No, Trump is a Ponzi schemer. I keep saying it out loud because his whole life has bankrupting things, committing fraud, committing sexual abuse. You see him now covering up all of the Epstein stuff. As I've said before, it's like the American people said, release the Epstein files. Release the Epstein files. Trump's like, no, but what if I give Delaine Maxwell a pardon? What if I give the sex trafficker an incredible deal? What if we move her to a better prison? Let's move her. And and by the way, Trump and Ghislaine go back to the late 80s. They're as thick as thieves. They're close friends. That's what Trump spending his time and focused on. He's a fraud. He's a sexual abuser. He's covering up his past with Epstein and Ghislaine, as I've said before, a disgusting human being who we need to call out. And we will here on the Midas Touch Network.
