Alright folks, it seems like Donald Trump just kind of took the day off as being President of the United States. He wasn't feeling like it today. So instead, he went to a college football game and he was posting relentlessly on social media during that time. So I want to show you some of the weird posts that Donald Trump made today. They're all very strange. They're all very weird. Things that the President really shouldn't be posting. But of course, with this unhinged lunatic that we have in the Oval Office, it's kind of like a daily thing at this point. So please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment. Let me know what you think about the story and everything we're about to talk about. And let's get into it. Buckle up. There's a lot of weird stuff. So first, Donald Trump posts this, which is that campaign ad that he is now running on Fox News and using the American government to pay for it. Like literally, it says paid for by the U.S. government at the bottom of the ad. I can't play it because there's copyrighted music in the background that Donald Trump did not get the rights to use. But we can't even play it here either. But Donald Trump can, you know, run it on Fox News. Without the musician's authorization. But he did. That ad did use American taxpayer dollars to run it on Fox News. Apparently, it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to do so. And you and I paid for it. You know, what happened to Doge? Remember that whole, you know, we're not wasting taxpayer dollar things? What happened to that? Because this seems like a pretty big waste of taxpayer dollars that could have gone to crucial social programs. I would have been happy with my tax dollars going to that. Not to this crap. Not to paying Fox News or whoever to run a campaign ad on behalf. Or the United States government. It really is just disgusting. And it's just hilarious that the concept of that ad is being anti-communist. Like, that was the whole thing. We will never be a communist country, Trump says in the ad. And yet, he's been sucking up to Xi Jinping, an authoritarian dictator, over the past couple of days at the White House. He said, we've had a tremendous visit from two spectacular people. And we really enjoyed it. Matter of fact, today, he was posting on social media about him hanging out with Xi. Saying America is back. Simply because he was standing next to Xi Jinping at the White House. And what's funny about this photo is that, number one, Donald Trump's face is drooping. And also, number two, Melania looks like she would literally rather be anywhere else. Anywhere else in the world, she would rather be than in this moment. So, I'm not exactly sure how that means America is back. But I thought we hate communist Donald Trump. He was also posting this. Only Trump. Him standing in front of the Air China plane next to Xi Jinping. So, you know, America will never be a communist country. But, you know, the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP, will suck up to Xi Jinping, the leader of that party. Interesting. Just kind of like an interesting hypocrisy moment there from Donald Trump. Which, you know, is also something we've come to expect from him. Then, he went on to post a bunch of campaign ads. And now, I'm not going to play these ads for you. Because I don't want to see it. I don't think you want to see it either. But I'll give you an example of like one of the ads he posted. Look at this. Retribution will be through success. And there's music in the background of that as well. But this is like one of the ads he's posting online. And he didn't do this once. He did this many times. That's an example. Or. This is an example. Or. This one as well. My retribution is going to be success. We're going to make this. Just like a bunch of campaign. Here's another one. This is what he spent the day doing. Campaign ads. It's really, really strange stuff. And, you know, look. I think it's weird that the President of the United States is spending his time uploading campaign ads on social media. But, quite frankly, if this is the message he wants to have going into the midterms, which are really not that far away, I'm kind of fine with that. Make the midterms about you. Because your approval rating, according to new polls, is in the 30s, sometimes even in the 20s. He is. The Wall Street Journal actually just published their polling. He has the lowest polling average for a President going into the midterms ever. Joe Biden was six points higher. Republicans say Joe Biden was so hated. He was so hated. Bush was higher. Obama was higher. Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating for a President going into the midterm elections. And so, if he wants the Republicans to go into the midterms, he has to go into the midterms. If he wants the Republican messaging to be me, Donald Trump, I'm running on my record, and he's going to put out all these campaign ads, he's going to run them on different networks, I'm fine with that. Because the American people hate him. Waste your money. No problem. We hate him. So, interesting strategy there from Donald Trump. Then he also uploaded this photo, which we talked about on the show earlier today. Melania, over the past couple of days, has really shown her disdain for Donald Trump. And so, I think he has seen the media coverage of that very concept. And now, he's posting a photo of them holding hands. And what's really funny about this photo is that after this fact, in the video when they're walking out of the White House to greet Xi Jinping, Donald Trump, number one, couldn't walk in a straight line and was like shoving Melania off the carpet. So, you know, the frame makes it look like, oh, we're a great couple, we're so happy. That's not true. And the entire weekend, it was very clear that Melania didn't want to be there. And so, I think he's trying to save face a little bit with this post. But moving on, he really likes renaming stuff. Really likes renaming stuff. And so, now, the latest victim of his renaming is the Strait of Hormuz. He wants to call it the Trump Strait. Now, there is no mechanism to rename the Strait of Hormuz. Of course, Donald Trump can't do that. He'll try probably one day. He says in different speeches that we got to get something out of it. We got to get something out of the Strait of Hormuz. We got to rename it after me, which is apparently America getting something out of it. But very, very strange that, again, this is what the President of the United States is focused on. Perhaps you should be focused on your awful approval rating. Maybe you should be asking, like, why do Americans hate? Why do Americans hate me so much? Maybe that will lead you to a better spot. I don't know. Here, another one that Donald Trump uploaded, which was crazy. This one actually took place last night, 11.07 p.m. in the middle of the night. Donald Trump uploaded a conspiracy theory about Obama. This is coming from Newsmax. That apparently Obama had this grand old plan to overthrow the United States government. Like a military coup kind of thing. This is the, number one, the kind of stuff they're talking about over there on Newsmax. It's total crap. And also, number two, what Donald Trump is posting about on. This podcast is supported by Anthropic, the public benefit corporation behind Claude. Everyone's got a hard question about AI. Your job, your kids, where it's going. Anthropic was built to surface those questions and share what it finds along the way. Because there's hope in hard questions. Ask yours at claude.ai.spotify and keep thinking. That's claude.ai.spotify. You could shake every single American in their shoes. I hate to say this, but President Barack Obama, there is now incontrovertible evidence that he was the spearhead of a seditious conspiracy to subvert the will of the American people and overthrow the United States government back in 2016. We must, absolutely must, hold every one of these criminals accountable for the crimes that they committed. They are the most. The most heinous crimes committed in American history. Isn't it remarkable, like, what the Republicans talk about when they have nothing to campaign on? So, we're still hearing about Joe Biden. We're still hearing about Barack Obama. We're still hearing about Hillary Clinton. And, you know, they'll talk about trans people. Now their new thing is furries. Like, Senator Tommy Tuberville was on the Senate floor the other day saying that there are furries flying planes. These people are out of their minds. And it's so funny when they have nothing to talk about. When they just don't have anything to campaign on. They have nothing serious. And so they say, the furries are out there. Obama and the furries are trying to overthrow the government. That's the Republican messaging going into the midterms. And once again, if they want their messaging to be about Barack Obama, who's one of the most loved political figures in America, like, across the board has the highest approval rating among any political figures in America, then that's fine. Make your messaging about Obama. You will lose. You will lose. Speaking about Obama and Biden, Donald Trump, posting days with crude oil above $100. He says that Obama had 308. He had zero in his first term. Joe Biden had 83. And he has 24 now. 25 to present. 2025, that is. Now, of course, there's context missing here, which is, number one, Obama was dealing with a financial crisis, the housing crisis of 08, when he came into office. So things were more expensive all around the world. Gas was expensive all around the world. And there's a couple things that also popped up during Obama's administration that led to that. Joe Biden was dealing with a pandemic that Donald Trump mishandled. So, gas prices were up because Donald Trump mishandled a pandemic and Joe Biden had to fix it. And Donald Trump's gas prices are up because of him. He did it. He's the one that started this Iran war. And he's also leaving out context on where Brent crude oil actually is. It's risen to $119. It's the highest since the 2008 financial crisis. And there is no financial crisis right now. There's no, like, bubble that just popped in the market, at least for now. You never know with Donald Trump and his economy. For now, there isn't. But he is the one that caught it. Pause this. Like, these gas prices, the price of Brent crude oil, would not be where it is right now if it were not for Donald Trump, to be abundantly clear. So, he can post all the graphics he wants on social media to make it seem like he's winning, but he is very much not. Then Donald Trump brags about violating court orders, brags about kicking media out of the Oval Office. He said, Why should perpetrators of fake news like CNN and MSDNC, is his nickname, be allowed access to a very sacred place, the White House? Despite my big election win, almost 100% of Trump coverage is negative. It has been for years. Defying White House slaps down journalists. Access is a privilege, not a right. And we also got this from Donald Trump, saying, Fake news should not be allowed in the White House. It has gone on too long, at a tremendous cost to our country. He posted that at 8 in the morning today. This is what Donald Trump is talking about. This is what he's focused on. And he's bragging about violating court orders. We learned today as well that Trump has blocked CNN from Air Force One in defiance of the court order, where the judge, who was appointed by, by him saying, hey, you gotta give the media access. There was no due process. here. You inform them of their media passes being revoked. And then the next day they weren't there. That's not due process. That's just a violation of the constitution and the first amendment. And Donald Trump is like openly bragging about, Hey, they shouldn't have access to the white house on social media. I think that's gross. Donald Trump probably and his buddies, at least they probably think it's a liberals getting owned kind of thing, but you know, not the, not the sharpest tools in the shed in the white house are there. Then Donald Trump in a long rant decides to, I mean, long, I mean, long rant. There was a story recently about Byron Donald's, the Republican nominee for governor in Florida. He kind of scrubbed Donald Trump from his website, which many Republicans are doing right now because he doesn't want the association. Many Republicans don't want the association. You don't want to be associated with somebody whose approval rating is 30. A lot of Americans don't like them. And so he scrubbed Donald Trump from his white, from his website. And so Trump ranted about it, calling it a fake story that a close friend of mine is taking me off his website. I won. By millions and Byron Donald's love me so much. You know, you don't got to, you don't got to read the whole thing to know what he's talking about here. He's very upset about the story, but if you actually go to Byron Donald's website, there is no big picture of Donald Trump. The only mention of Trump is a quote down here where it says truly great and powerful run Byron run. But previously Donald Trump's face used to be right on the website. It used to be Trump's face. And now all that's left of him is a little quote. That's on the same line as many other Republicans. It's just weird that they've gone from, Hey, Trump is my entire campaign. You should vote for me because I'm endorsed by Donald Trump too. Well, maybe, you know, maybe we don't focus on that so much. And Donald Trump is very angry about that as well. Then Donald Trump posted a video of him at the Tennessee game today, the Texas Tennessee game where he didn't get the reception that he loved. There wasn't like a strong booing because it is the South. It is, uh, you know, a, uh, SEC school. So of course there's probably more, uh, of a, uh, uh, an audience for Donald Trump there. Perhaps other stadiums, but he still didn't get the welcome that I imagine he wanted or hope that he would get. And he's posting videos of that happening. And then he also posted another one of him at the Tennessee Texas game. So that's what Donald Trump was doing today. Uh, he took the day off. He was relaxing. He was watching college football, not being president of the United States. And, uh, while people struggle, while people suffer, this is what Donald Trump is doing. So anyway, I just wanted to cover the social media media spree from Donald Trump today. I thought you should see it, but I will leave the video there. Thank you so much for watching. Please.
