Another total meltdown from Donald Trump this morning, blaming air traffic control problems and massive delays at airports on former President Biden. Yep, we're well over 100 days now into this disastrous Trump regime and here is what he's posting. Air traffic problems caused by the incompetent Biden administration as headed by, in this case, a total novice and political hack, Pete B. Then he puts in caps I will fix it. Exclamation point. You know Donald, under former President Biden and former Transport Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, you know what wasn't happening? Planes weren't crashing frequently. There wasn't these massive, massive delays because air traffic controllers said that they're suffering from trauma as a result of radar are shutting off because of the incompetence of your regime. So maybe just act like a leader. I know you can't. I know you only know how to behave like a petulant little three year old bully. No offense to petulant three year old bullies, but just maybe try to act like an adult and take some level of accountability, you idiot. Oh, and then Donald Trump posts the following. He attacks the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, who Donald Trump appointed. Donald Trump goes quote too late, end quote. Jerome Powell is a fool who doesn't have a clue. Other than that I like him very much. Exclamation point. Oil and energy way down, almost all costs. Groceries and eggs down. Virtually no inflation tariff. Money pouring into the US the exact opposite of quote too late, end quote. Enjoy. Exclamation point. The golden age of America is coming. Now. I know a lot of his followers who still support him and they're getting less and less. Their MAGA mush brain cult mindset goes oh, Donald tells me prices are lower. We all know that inflation is rising. Why? Because if we go into the grocery store, if we're going to look for cars, if we're going out to buy whatever the products are, we, we see the prices going up. We know that mortgage rates are going up. We know that housing is less affordable now not more affordable right now, by the way, we even hear Donald Trump and his Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessant saying that little girls should only be buying one doll and five pencils versus multiple dolls and they should be paying more for their dolls and they should stop whining and complaining. That's what the regime is actually saying. We all know that tariffs are bad. We, we all can. If we have pensions or 401ks or we, we see that it's going down, we know that we're worse off right now under Donald Trump. So when he goes enjoy, and then the juxtaposition of Donald Trump saying enjoy, let them eat cake while he's out there doing deals with Qatar in the Middle east to build new resorts and doing deals with Saudi Arabia to build resorts in Oman, and he's out there doing deals with the AB Dhabi Fund to put money into his crypto. The Trump families made $2.6 billion in the past 100 days off of crypto schemes and market schemes. While we the people are suffering. We know what's going on. That's why Donald Trump's approval is plummeting. Donald Trump is basically straight out of that movie I've been talking about, don't look up. Don't look up. As the asteroid is coming. Frankly, little pieces of that asteroid have already, of that comet have already hit the United States. He's saying, don't look up. And I'm telling you, look up, look around you. Let's just recognize what the hell is happening in our country and say, this is not America, dammit. Oh, then Donald Trump posts this Today, World War II Victory Day. And he posts the statue of the courageous United States soldiers. And in Iwo Jima. Donald, Iwo Jima is not in Europe. Do you know what victory day signifies? Do you know victory dates? Victory Day in Europe. You're posting Iwo Jima. Trump does not even have the most basic understanding of anything. Geopolitics, American history, tariffs, economics, you name it. Spencer Kimian says the bottom half of the country, and I would say the bottom half of the countries. Anyone who's in the 99%, not the 1% or 1.1.1% of Trump, the bottom half of the country is already in a recession and all Donald Trump is now doing is announcing gimmicky trade deals. What was what Trump say today? He's doing a trade, going to do a trade deal with the UK which will lower tariffs on Range Rovers from 25% to 10% even though it was zero percent a month ago. So Donald Trump creates the issue. He's the arsonist. Creates a fire across the world, puts out a teeny, tiny, tiny one in the UK but doesn't really put it out. Deals with Range Rovers and Land Rovers and then acts like he's done some, some massive deal that's not even a trade deal. Gimmicks after gimmicks after gimmicks. So I'm reminded of the Trump propaganda during the campaign where the MAGA cult members and the MAGA supporters and MAGA people in general would have their kids go out and they would say how much they wanted Barbies to be cheaper and how Trump was going to make things cheaper. Do you all remember? Do you all remember this? Here, play this clip. What do you want him to do? What do you want him to say today?

So they went from the MAGAS pushing that to now Treasury Secretary Scott Besant wants to clarify what Donald Trump said about the little girls. He wants you to know though, this is a wrinkle that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, he goes, even though your little girl's only gonna have $1 and 5 pencils, she's gonna be happy in the future because we're gonna bring low paying Factory jobs, like screwing the iPhones together from China. We're gonna bring those jobs to America and your little girls can work in those factories for the rest of her life. Don't you like that? Play this clip.

Treasury Secretary
The other thing too is this reporter behind me was quite snarky the other day when President Trump talked about the girl having two dolls. And he said, well, what? President didn't take the question, but he said, what would you tell that girl? I said, I would tell that young girl that you will have a better life than your parents. That you and your family, thanks to President Trump, can now be confident again that you will have a better life than your parents. Which working class Americans had abandoned that idea. Your family will own a home. You will be able to advance. You will have a good education. You will have economic freedom. That's what we are advancing.

Former Vice President
Yeah.

Now even former Vice President Mike Pence has been out there saying, what in the world are these Trump people doing? Y' all are. Y' all are killing the economy right now. And what are you talking about with little girls?
- [09:41]

Here, Play this clip they're making lately is that maybe children will have to make do with fewer toys, fewer dolls. The quote that he had yesterday was, I'm just saying that they don't need to have 30 dolls. They can have three. They don't need to have 250 pencils, they can have five. Do you think the American people buy that argument?
- [10:00]
Former Vice President
I have two grown daughters, I have three small granddaughters. And look, keeping dolls affordable, keeping our kids toys affordable, that really is part of the American dream. I remember recently the Secretary of the treasury said that cheap goods was not a part of the American dream. Well, I'm somebody who spent almost my entire life in public service. We lived on our paycheck while we raised three kids and put three kids through college. Cheap goods are a big part of it. I think we ought to be candid about that.

So with all of this going on, with Trump harming our economy, with our GDP shrinking, you know, the MAGA Republicans in the House were focused on all the important things today. I'm being sarcastic, of course. The U.S. house voted 211 to 206 to approve legislation to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Now, MAGA Republicans refuse to do anything to assert their authority when it comes to things like trade deals and tariffs, which they're constitutionally obligated to do. Their budget, which they call a big beautiful deal, is a big, beautiful disaster. With MAGA Republicans in the Senate like MAGA Mike Johnson from Wisconsin saying that there's no chance he's going to support what they're doing in the House. And it's dead on arrival reconciliation. It's good to know that the MAGA Republicans are focused on Nate re the renaming of things. I think there's 12 separate bills as well circulating in the House to rename things after Donald Trump because these MAGA Republican sycophants are MAGA Republican sycophants. So Donald Trump goes and he talks about this agreement with the United Kingdom. We've reached a comprehensive deal, like Spencer Kimian says it right after four weeks of negotiating with our closest ally, the UK whom we run a trade surplus with. All we were able to accomplish was a continuation of the 10% tariff rate with them. How are we going to possibly negotiate anything substantive with China, Europe, Mexico, Vietnam, Taiwan, et cetera? The gimmick president is doing gimmicky things and meanwhile our economy will pay the price for his desire to see himself on tv. Max Kennerly explains. Ruth will chuckle over how this trade deal will cement the relationship with the United States and the UK for many years to come. We already had a trade deal with the United Kingdom and the other countries to Trump threw them all out the window. Nobody's going to believe these deals are permanent either. Trump broke that also Trump's approval plummeting and breaking Trump's net approval job rating has dropped seven points since April 15, according to the Cook Political Reports. New political tracker the European Union launching a WTO World Trade organization complaint against US tariffs, and they're preparing countermeasures on up to 95 billion of euros of US imports in response to US tariffs, while Moscow and Beijing intend to ramp up their cooperation in order to decisively counter U.S. efforts to contain them both.
