Donald Trump's impromptu press conference during his visit to Ireland was marked by increasingly incoherent and factually incorrect statements. He claimed to know trade formulas better than anyone, revealing he used AI chatbots to generate the same tariff model the administration has long employed, undermining his authority on economic policy. He promoted a $5,000 check for all Americans contingent on Republican wins, dismissing the need for congressional approval, yet offered no explanation for why the plan remains unexecuted. His assertions about economic doom under Democratic leadership have repeatedly failed, as both Obama and Biden presided over periods of strong economic growth. He falsely claimed Iran would end its war with the U.S. after the midterms, despite ongoing attacks and regional escalation. He also incorrectly blamed U.S. gas prices on a non-existent Zalinsky targeting of diesel fuel, ignoring the real impact of the Ukraine war on global supply chains. Additionally, he claimed Venezuelans are ecstatic about his oil deals, contradicting polling data showing widespread discontent. His refusal to address protests in Dublin—instead jokingly comparing the journalist to a fictional person—reveals a consistent pattern of deflection and evasion. These claims, rooted in misinformation and lack of factual grounding, demonstrate a troubling disconnect between his public statements and reality, raising serious concerns about the impact on U.S. policy and public trust.
So Donald Trump is still in Ireland. Despite getting humiliated again and again by the Irish protestors, he is still there. He's now at the Irish open because apparently watching a golf tournament is part of the job of being president or at least in his eyes, but he just gave a really crazy press conference on the green at this golf tournament, and I think you should hear some of it. He is obviously still very unwell, very mentally all over the place, but he's just speaking nonsense here. And this nonsense could really impact US policy, so we're going to talk about it. I'm going to show you some clips from this press conference that Donald Trump had. Please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment. Let me know what you think about this story, and also let me know what you think about Donald Trump's Irish trip as a whole. I think it's been hilarious with all the protesters who have interrupted him, but let's start here with a real doozy from Donald Trump, just openly saying to the media, "I know more about formulas than anybody. Okay, let's hear it." Let me just, first of all, he is looking very low. He is looking very unhealthy as he normally does, but especially today, it's almost like he just rolled out a bed five minutes ago, but that's kind of what he's like all the time now these days. But it's just crazy that he's like, "Yeah, I know formulas better than anybody, because, for example, Destiny, the liberal streamer, found out the formula that the Trump administration used for all of their tariffs. They said that this formula is new and that they've come up with it, and it's great, and it really equals it out for everybody. Turns out they just went to chat GBT to do it. Like the AI chatbot? Check this out." He said, "I think they asked chat GBT to calculate the tariffs from other countries, which is why it makes no sense. They're simply dividing the trade deficit we have with a country with our imports from that country or using 10%, whichever is greater." And he showed his conversation with chat GBT showing that's exactly the same formula that the Trump administration has been using. So it's kind of hard to claim that you know formulas better than anybody when you might be using chat GBT to dictate U.S. foreign policy and trade policy. You know, maybe I'm a crazy liberal. I don't know, but I just think that makes a little bit of sense, don't you? Here's another one where Donald Trump was asked about the $5,000 checks. So this is his big new policy that he wants to hand out $5,000 checks to Americans. But only if they vote for Republicans and that he was asked, "Do you expect Congress would need to approve the $5,000?" He was the journalist was cut off saying, "I don't know, but it's easy enough and all that stuff. Just take a listen here." And then do you expect Congress would need to approve the $5,000? I don't know. But it's easy enough. If the Republicans win, it's $5,000 of all adults in the country. And we can easily handle that because we're taking in so much money. We've never done that. The Democrats can't make that pledge because they'll all go to hell right away. Oh man. Look, what's been really reassuring about this whole thing since he announced these $5,000 checks is that nobody is buying it. Sometimes Donald Trump does stuff like this and people buy into it and they vote for it and they think that maybe I'm going to get my tariff check, my tariff refund or whatever. And then it never comes. But it seems like across the internet, nobody's actually believing this or buying this idea because number one, Donald Trump has promised checks before. None of them have come. And also he says it's easy enough. We don't need Congress. Let's just get the official quote here, right here. I don't know, but it's easy enough. It's $5,000 to all adults and we can easily handle that because we're taking in so money. That begs the question, why aren't you doing it right now then? If it's so easy that you could do it right now and it's just easy enough, you don't even need Congress to approve it apparently or you don't know, then why don't you just send the checks out right now? It's because the checks are never coming. And he's saying, well, you know, Republicans already control Congress. We control the House and the Senate and the presidency. We just need you to vote for us again to be able to get it done, which makes absolutely no sense. So I'm glad that nobody's really buying into this because it is really just peak stupidity. Then Donald Trump brought out one of his classic BS election season talking points. If the Democrats get in, you'll get into an economic depression, Donald Trump says, which is, you know, a talking point that he's used for many, many years now, but just watch. If you have a question, then you'll go into a depression, and we'll continue this incredible situation. I mean, we have the strongest, we've never been. We have millions of dollars coming into the country and the 5,000 is going to everybody. I made that pledge. I always keep my pledge. You know, they all said we couldn't get the great, big, beautiful bill done, right? They all said we'd never be able to get the 1776 to the military last year at $1776. A lot of money, a lot of military. I got them. They can care. So let's just time out really quickly here. He didn't send like new money to all of the military for the record with those checks that he is referencing. That actually screwed over a lot of people in the military, but that's besides the point. That's just one of his many failures with the checks, but this is his usual talking point where he's saying, you know, if the Democrats win, you're going to have an economic depression. So he said that about Barack Obama all those years ago, Barack Obama had some of the longest job growth, positive job growth, stretches in American history. So that never came to be. He said that about Joe Biden in 2020, Joe Biden rescued our economy from his mistakes with COVID. We had the strongest economy in the world after COVID, fastest growing and at least amount of inflation compared to other economically comparable countries. So that didn't happen. And now he's saying if Democrats win the midterms, you're going to have an economic depression. Well right now our economy sucks. So all the time Donald Trump keeps saying if you elect the Democrats, you're going to have a depression. It never happens. But when you elect Republicans, you have recessions, you have inflation. You have unemployment go up, I mean that happens under Donald Trump. So I just want to point that out, you know, the whole, the Democrats are going to cause it is nonsense. And by the way, Donald Trump is likely causing the United States to go into a recession in the next couple of years, right? You know, this has been an ongoing thing with Donald Trump and all the different pieces of data kind of indicate that the economy at least right now is not where it should be. It's not strong enough. Then Donald Trump is, you know, doing another campaign talking point here saying, look, the Iran war is going to end right after the midterms. You just got to vote for us again. If you vote for us again, the Iran war is going to end after the midterms, which is totally nonsensical. And he says they want to make him, make a deal so badly. They just can't help themselves. "Sir, Iran is not going to end until after the midterm elections." "Is that up to the midterm?" "It could end before, look, it could end before the midterm. But it will end after the midterm." And Iran, Iran, I will tell you this, Iran wants to make a deal so bad. They're calling constantly. They want to make a deal. They got to make the right deal. I'm not going to make a deal that's no good or coming to the end of it. We are in month six of this war, and Donald Trump keeps saying this stuff. I mean, this has been one of his most consistent claims that Iran is so eager to make a deal. They want to make a deal right now with me. They're begging. They're on their hands and knees. And yet, Iran seems pretty content right now, especially because their attacks against the United States are decently effective as of recently, which is awful, and that's bad. It's depressing as an American, and that's the case because we are a significantly stronger military, a significantly stronger country, and Donald Trump is blowing the lead. Think about it like this. Imagine you're a football team, and you have, like, Josh Allen, you have Jerry Rice, you have Calvin Johnson, and you have Bo Jackson at running back. You have all of these amazing players, a great team. You have a lead, and you're playing like an eighth grade high school football team. Imagine losing to that team. That kind of feels like what's going on here with Iran and the United States. Donald Trump has just been outsmarted and outplayed, and so while he's saying that Iran really wants to make a deal, their attacks are effective, and their allies, the Houthis and Yemen, are taking over more land, more islands on the Red Sea, giving them more control over the Strait of Hormuz, and trading routes throughout the Middle East and around the world, quite frankly. So I don't know what this guy is talking about, but clearly he has no idea what the hell is going on. And then check this out. Donald Trump is now blaming Zalinsky for high gas prices. It's not, this is so stupid. It's not the war he started. It's not the war he started in the Middle East. It's Zalinsky. This guy is off his rocker. He's just coming up with a new excuse for his failures every single day. No, Mr. Zalinsky has to do one thing. You're coming so you know what I mean? Mr. I like you, Mr. Zalinsky. Wait a minute. You want it? Can I talk? Mr. He has to stop knocking out these little fuel in Russia. Let him go after targets, but not these, because he's causing a shortage of these. This isn't done by the Middle East. This is done by what's happening with Russia. So we spoke to Mr. Zalinsky about it. There are plenty of other targets. Don't hit diesel fuel, because that's hurting, that's hurting the world. We don't want him to hit diesel fuel. This, his stupidity is painful. You ever meet somebody that's just so, like this, you're just like, I can't deal with you anymore. I can't speak to you. That's Donald Trump. And he's the president of the United States, which really hurts. His stupidity is really painful. It's not the war he started in the Middle East, which has shut down trading routes all around the world. It can't be that. It has to be Zalinsky defending his country from Russia trying to take it over. That's what it has to be. This guy is an idiot or he knows he's lying and he's lying anyway and he's trying to deflect the blame onto Zalinsky as opposed to him. But that might be giving Donald Trump too much credit and his like…
you know, room temperature IQ. I mean, seriously, diesel is $6. It's the highest it's ever been. And no expert out there believes it's because of Ukraine. They believe it's because of this war that's taking place with global trading routes. Oh my God. You know, it's like explaining two plus two equals four. You know what I mean? Oh man. And then Donald Trump claims that people in Venezuela are so happy with him and that they're just so ecstatic that Donald Trump is involved in their country, which is of course not true. Mr. President, you mentioned Venezuela. When do you see democratic elections happening? There's a lot of-- Well, when they're ready, the people of Venezuela are so happy because they were living in a tough situation. And now the oil companies are going in. A lot of money's being made. That is well as making it tremendous amount of money, so I'll wait. And you know, we have all the big companies going in there now, and they're drilling. And when they start really drilling, when that really starts to happen, it's already happening. But the people of Venezuela are very, very happy. I was just wondering what they can-- Yeah, and that couldn't be further from the truth. We have all these different polls actually coming out of Venezuela, where he is saying that they're ecstatic, they're happy. But polls show there's a lot of discontent. This was back in May of 2026. This article, at least, this poll in reference. But there have been a bunch since then that shows that Venezuela is not actually all that stoked about Donald Trump's involvement, especially with his new oil deal, where he says that he's seizing tens of billions of barrels of oil from Venezuela, and they don't really get anything in return. So he's like pillaging the country, claiming victory, and claiming that the Venezuelan people are happy that he's doing that, which doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to people who graduated high school. Donald Trump, finally, was asked about the protests against him in Dublin. Did you see any of the footage of the protests against your visit in Dublin? And what do you make of it? And then instead of engaging with the question, Donald Trump says that the journalist looks like musician, Chinato Conner. I don't know. This one's a headscratcher. Mr. Parnum, did you see any footage of the protests against your visit here in Dublin? And what do you make of that opposition? You know, you remind me of somebody who could hire a single person where there's a man. You know what that is? Cheneyde. I actually have nothing for a single person. You look like Cheneyde Conner. Mr. Parnum, that's a compliment. Mr. Parnum, Mr. Parnum-- Mr. Parnum. Mr. Parnum, Mr. Parnum, Mr. Parnum. Oh, man. Well, of course, he doesn't want to engage with the question about the protests against them because they work humiliating for him and his administration. I've said this on the show in coverage of Donald Trump's trip to Ireland. They go hard. They don't mess around with their hate of Donald Trump. I really appreciate that. So anyway, I'm still under the weather, as you can probably tell, a little congested. But we show up anyway, because Donald Trump's not stopping his stupidity, so we won't stop either. I'm going to leave the video there, so we don't have to subject ourselves to any more of Donald Trump. But that was his little impromptu press conference on the green at the Irish open.
