Trump CRACKS as IT FINALLY HAPPENS…

Donald Trump’s recent appearance at the Irish Open is portrayed as a spectacle of delusion and incompetence, highlighting his erratic foreign policy, inflationary economic policies, and delusional claims about Iran, Ukraine, and global energy markets. He falsely blames Zelensky for fuel shortages while ignoring the real causes—such as the shutdown of the East-West pipeline and Houthi control of strategic straits—leading to global oil disruptions. Meanwhile, Iran is forging strong diplomatic ties with Russia, China, and India at the BRICS summit, signaling a strategic realignment away from U.S. influence. Trump’s repeated threats of economic sanctions, like those against Iran, are dismissed as empty rhetoric, undermining U.S. credibility. His administration is also fueling economic instability through reckless debt accumulation, inflation, and a failure to manage the economy responsibly, with interest rates projected to rise. The so-called "dividend" promises to voters are exposed as fraudulent schemes that would worsen national debt and inflation. Critics, including Republican figures like Mike Johnson and Senator Susan Collins, highlight the political and economic dangers of such promises. Trump’s dismissive attitude toward global diplomacy—such as his claim that the Falkland Islands can’t be protected by the UK and his focus on windmills—further illustrates his lack of coherent policy. In contrast, Iran’s leadership asserts that the U.S. regime is unpredictable and that Israel operates as a state sponsor of terrorism. The piece concludes by emphasizing the need for objective media consumption, recommending Ground News to break through political echo chambers and provide balanced global reporting.

Donald Trump further be clowning himself in Ireland as his regime crumbles. He's at the Irish open, which is the real reason he went to Ireland, shout out to all the people in Ireland who have been protesting Donald Trump. While at the Irish open Trump, ranting and raving like a lunatic says, Iran wants to make a deal so badly they keep on calling me all of the time. It's all projection. Donald Trump is utterly desperate right now. And Iran's like, we can't do a deal with a psycho like you. Here, play this clip of Donald Trump saying, Iran, they want to do a deal so badly while at the Irish open. Here, play this clip. Not going to end until after the midterm elections. Is that not going to be the midterm? It could end before it could end before the midterm. I'll show you what Iran is actually doing right now. The Foreign Minister of Iran wrapping up a successful trip to the Brick Summit in New Delhi, India. You can see this photo right here of the Iranian Foreign Minister, Iraqi, with the Foreign Ministers of Russia, China, Egypt, Indonesia and Kazakhstan. It's all smiles. Hey, Treasury Secretary Scott Beset, remember when you threatened economic D day for any country who dares speak to or do business with Iran. You said economic outcast. Well, sadly, the only economic outcast right now is the United States. I say, that's sadly because I live here in the United States, but it's such an utter embarrassment and so despicable what this Trump regime has done to our country here. Then Donald Trump at the Irish open says, "But here's the thing. I promise you, I guarantee you, Iran will end right after the midterms, maybe before the midterms. And gasoline, it's going to drop like a rock. It's going to drop like a rock," he says here play this clip. The country is booming. Iran will end right after the mid-maybe before, but it'll end right after the midterms. Gasoline's going to drop like a rock. Just like it was just before I got, I mean, anywhere it was doing, I had to do it. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Really, Donald, it's going to drop like a rock. We've been talking here on the Midas Touch Network. Not only does Iran control the straight of Hormuz now. Not only do the Houthis control the Bob Al-Mandab straight right now. We also talked about how the East West pipeline connecting the coast of Saudi Arabia were hit hard. It was hit hard in the past 48 hours. It had to be shut down. And here's what we're learning. Saudi oil exports equivalent to up to 4 percent of the global supply could be disrupted if the damages to the East West pipeline are unable to restart within days. The pipeline, of course, shut down after a drone attack. The Saudis blame this on the Iraqi resistance, also allied with Iran as part of the access of resistance. The Iraqi resistance, as it was in us, the Houthis said it was us. Saudis too scared to admit it was the Houthis, so they're blaming the Iraqi resistance. In any event, it does appear that the East West pipeline is going to be shut down for quite some time, further causing the price of diesel and gas to surge the Houthis continue to advance east now after taking over all of Western Yemen. You can see the Houthi tribal mobilization right here as they start heading east. We'll be following the breaking developments there. Also, there was some smoke scene at the Janbu Aramco refinery facility, which had been hit before. That's in Saudi Arabia. It's part of the connections to the East West pipeline in the western area of Saudi Arabia. Unclear if it was hit again. It appears it may have. We'll be following up there as well. Donald Trump then at the Irish open is asked by a reporter. Do you expect Congress would need to approve your $5,000 dividend that you're promising voters if they vote Republican? And again, I just want to be very clear here. He's not giving anybody $5,000. It's just more fraud from Donald Trump. You know this. He promised people $5,000 doge dividend checks last year, then $2,000 tariff rebate checks. Remember what Donald Trump has said before he said he would make the greatest communist like Lenin. He called Lenin. He said, because I would just promise people free stuff and free money. And then you would never have to deliver it. And people would live in squalor. He said, that's the problem with communism. And Donald Trump behaves like a communist authoritarian. It's it's true. So a reporter says, do you expect Congress would need to approve the $5,000 dividend? And Trump's like, we have so much money right now. It'll be easy. I don't need Congress here. Let's play this clip. Can't make that pledge because we'll go to hell right away. Well, our debt continues to skyrocket under Donald Trump this past month, month and a half. The debt has now increased to over $40 trillion. Our deficit is increasing dramatically. Donald Trump's responsible for about 30% of all of our debt, the most of any president. He is reckless and he is incompetent. And he is malicious. It's a horrific combination right there. So you then have MAGA Mike Johnson, the Republican Speaker of the House. He made his way onto the various morning shows. He was asked, well, what do you say to Susan Collins, the Republican Senator for Maine, who's running for re-election and running against Troy Jackson, who's now the Democratic candidate's leading in Maine. And Susan Collins says that these $5,000 checks shouldn't be tied to election results. It's criminal to do that. What Donald Trump is doing. And it's fraudulent. And it's going to increase the debt. And it will cause inflation to rise. And MAGA Mike Johnson's like, oh, it's the Democrats fault to which the host does like, yeah, Susan, well, go, Susan Collins is a Republican here. Play this clip. Speaker, I want to read for you something that Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine said about these $5,000 checks. She wrote, quote, "tax and spending decisions should be made based on the needs of the American people and the state of the economy. They should not appear to be tied to election results." The president said that these checks are contingent on election results. Is this an attempt to buy votes? Now, of course not. Remember, the Democrats who are making that claim are the same ones who gave out COVID checks and all sorts of stimulus checks. Well, she's a Republican. Susan Collins is a Republican. Yeah, I understand that. I understand. Sure, sure, but that's right. And so is the president. He's the leader of Republican in the country. And what he is articulating there is the obvious truth that you have more money in your pockets with Republicans in control than with Democrats. And more for Megamike Johnson here when he's asked about the impact that Donald Trump's and fraudulent promise would cause to the national debt. Again, this is how he's just so such a weak and pathetic individual Megamike here play this clip. In the past, you have called the national debt the largest threat facing the country. Why would you want to add to the debt, Mr. Speaker? I don't want to add to that. Kristen and I guess we're going to spend the whole segment talking about this one issue when there's so many other things. No, we're going to get to other issues. We've actually done and not ideas on the table. Okay, I'd love with our economy reeling here in the United States with inflation surging, we expect this week, the federal reserve is going to raise interest rates here. Again, that's going to be very harmful to families who are already struggling to afford homes and unable to afford homes. Let's just face it, had Donald Trump done nothing and basically let former president Biden's economy just go into autopilot. We were expecting three rate cuts this year, three rate cuts. Donald Trump managed to screw that up because to just go look at the charts. Inflation was going down. Biden had brought it down. It was bad earlier. It was bad because of Trump's behavior during the first term. Donald Trump's reckless printing of money, the debt that Donald Trump had caused. Trump's reckless handling of COVID, all of that. Anyway, it was going down. Now interest rates are likely going to go up. Everybody says it almost certainly interest rates are going to go up. By the way, if somehow the Fed doesn't raise interest rates, that may even be more harmful now because it'll show just the utter manipulation and lack of independence of the Fed. That act alone could further crash the economy because if they were acting independently based on where the economy is, they should be raising the interest rates. Unfortunately, that's just the reality to try to reign in the inflation. Then Donald Trump's responses, I know more about formulas than anybody. what do you mean you know more about formulas than anybody? What the hell are you talking about here? Play this clip I don't we should be paying the United States is so strong we should be paying the lowest interest rate in the world regardless of their formulas I know more about formulas than anybody and with the best credit in the world we make other countries rich we can turn that off in two minutes then Donald Trump says we make other countries rich so we can turn that off in two minutes if we want to make you poor we'll make you poor other countries so while you have this bricks summit taking place China asserting itself as a new global headgemon talking about multilateralism and cooperation here's Donald Trump just continuing to threaten countries as former secretary of state Hillary Clinton said America is not a serious country right now under Donald Trump she says America is a dangerous country not a serious country and here Donald Trump's like we make other countries rich you want us to turn it off and he's saying this at the Irish open which again if I hadn't said it already is that his golf course in Ireland which is the only reason that he's there here play this clip and with the best credit in the world we make other countries rich we can turn that off in two minutes you understand and so while Donald Trump threatens countries across the globe countries are moving on mark this was a article from the Wall Street Journal today but if you've been following the Midas Touch Network Midas Canada you know we've been covering this every day basically Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's audacious bid to make Canada an associate member of the EU as trade talks with the US collapse Prime Minister Carney pursues a major and risky pivot to Europe and auto a book club plays its part Carney has even suggested Canada take on a new title associate member of the European Union and look because of Trump's weakness we're living in an even more volatile world right now remember one of Donald Trump's promises on day one after the election I will be able to resolve the war you create I can go over all of Donald Trump's other lies that he was going to bring electricity prices down and half that homeownership would become accessible to all Americans that gas prices would be two dollars a gallon that grocery prices would be cheaper that the cost of living crisis would be solved everything would be so much better everyone was going to be so rich he lied no more never ending worse he lies about it every every sound utterance word is a lie but one of those big lies of course is that he was going to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours while Donald Trump was at the Irish open while he was at the Irish Gulf tournament Trump called on Ukraine Ukraine you need to halt the strikes on Russian refineries that's and the Russian tankers and then Trump said the reason that diesel surging it's Zalinski's fault it's all Zalinski's fault right now Donald Trump says it has nothing to do this is not being done by the Middle East Trump says it's all Zalinski's fault this is what Donald Trump does okay when there's catastrophic situations he blames and so Dr. Fauci bite and it's everybody's fault it's everybody's fault look the fact that Ukraine is striking refineries is that causing diesel to go up sure you promised you were going to end the war in 24 hours that would have been over two years ago at this point is what you promised also Russia invaded Ukraine also the main reason for diesel surging is you want to take a look at this map Donald right here about what it looks like with the East West pipeline disabled with the Bob L. Mundob straight controlled by the Houthis and the straight of her moves controlled by Iran and like only one or two tankers are able to leave the straight of her moves each day now and before the war you had 20 million barrels leaving think about 20 million barrels a day leaving and from the East West pipeline you had five to six million barrels all of this is being shut down because of you Donald it's being because it's because of you and you were the guy who said you would easily bring peace to Ukraine so it's all your I mean it's all your fault it's all your fault anyway here's what Donald Trump says his message to Zelensky is play this clip and while Donald Trump was saying that earlier today Russia struck the locomotive of a passenger train in Ukraine's Volion region just two kilometers from the Polish border we have video of what went down and let me show you what it looked like let's play it now the Russian drone strike hit a chartered train that was the same type of train not the exact train that that these diplomats were on but you had Boris Johnson German Chancellor Merz's security advisor Gunther Souter and numerous other Western officials were on another train that passed right before the train that was ultimately hit by the Russian by the Russian Shahi that I just showed you over there and so the escalation right now of the war is actually getting more significance escalating more and more by the day and we expect as we head into autumn and winter there's going to be a massive massive escalation and Russia's telegraph this and a massive escalation of ballistic missile strikes and Zelensky doesn't have Patriot interceptors or was never given the license and Trump promised he was going to do that but of course Trump lies about everything meanwhile sent com it's posting sent com is posting graphics us and come posting graphics that it successfully redirected 100 commercial ships over the past 60 days since America resumed the steel wall blockade against Iran zero ships have passed through the blockade without us forces allowing so our ones proud Navy is is boasting of 100 redirects of commercial vessels commercial vessels not war vessels food medicine supplies commercial vessels war crimes post and boats on war crimes not letting food get in that's what the Navy is bragging about becoming a bunch of pirates by the way when I and this is why we need a good media diet though so we can identify what's really happening in the world right now and I spend so much time just trying to bring you not just like ranting and raving opinions just to give you the facts and enable us to be able to make sense of this chaos and what Donald Trump has done to the world right now also so that article I shared with you Trump calls on Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian diesel saying attacks are causing a shortage what I've been finding interesting lately as I look at how's left wing media covering this how's the so-called center media covering how's right wing media covering it's fairly evenly distributed right now whereas a year ago you would see certain things especially when it comes to the war coverage being more focused on either right wing coverage or left wing coverage depending what the story was so I actually think this is a good development to see mostly all media is covering what went down when Donald Trump basically going after Zelensky and blaming Zelensky because I think we all know Donald is because your catastrophic war in Iran and you promised you were going to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours by the way that's exactly why I partnered with ground news for this episode because they're the best tool that helps me stay objective with my reporting you see ground news is an app in a website that pulls in thousands of articles from around the world and organizes them by story to show you how is the left center and right framing the story differently and they have also a way to determine is it corporate news that's doing a story a large media conglomerate or is it an independently owned media entity and so ground news has this dedicated blind spot feed that I use it's a favorite of mine it highlights the stories being disproportionately covered on either side of the political aisle to help burst through echo chambers help me burst through help anybody burst your echo chambers I believe in ground news so much we're offering you 40% off the same vantage plan that I use for my research.

So going back to the Irish open now for a moment, Donald Trump also praising China and he says, "Look, Xi Jinping has been so fair with us. He's been so, we have such a great relationship here, play this clip." "We have a great relationship, he wants to get along and we want it, we're gonna get along. China's been, I think, very fair with us over the last number of years that I've been over the years, over the decades, but over the years enduring Obama, China took tremendous advantage of China." It's so bizarre that Donald Trump views this as like, "She's Xi Jinping really likes me. Xi Jinping looks at you like you're an utter fool. I did a whole video on China's president Xi and in the past 24 hours, Xi has threatened Donald Trump. I'm not going to come and visit you in September if you provide any support to Taiwan for their military. China has threatened to cut off rare earths to the United States based on certain threats that were made by Trump against China. With all of that as background, and after Trump and Besson threatened economic D-Day, I've showed you all the photos of China at BRICS and their Foreign Minister Wang Yi standing right there with the Ron's Foreign Minister, Aragchi, and then Donald Trump's like, "I think they've been very fair. I think they've been great." The message that that also sends, though, is when Besson and Trump threatened economic D-Day again, the same way Donald Trump will always say, "I'm going to do this to you 24 hours," and then Trump doesn't do it. The U.S. has zero credibility right now, but it's more huffing and puffing. Donald Trump says, "We're ultimately going to get out of Iran, unless we decide to keep it like the oil in Venezuela," you're playing this clip. "We're ultimately going to get out, unless we decide to stay and keep the oil, like Venezuela. You don't talk about Venezuela anymore, do you? Take it in billions and billions and billions of dollars." "What are you talking about, man?" It's so ridiculous. Then the reporter says, "What do you make of the Gulf Nations meeting with Iran? There's a big meeting tomorrow that will be taking place in Moscow, in Oman, where Iran will be formally announcing its deal with Oman for its control over the Strait of Hormuz, and a lot of these Arab nations are now moving closer to Iran, moving away from the United States, recognizing a shift in the power center right now." I want you to listen to what Donald Trump says. Trump's like, "I don't care. I don't really care that they're doing the meeting." What Trump says, "As long as Israel is happy." Notice, listen carefully. He'll say, "As long as I'm good with it, as long as Israel is happy." Not only is he basically admitting that his policies dictated by Israel, but he puts it on Netanyahu, basically, because Trump himself is like, "What should Netanyahu tell me to do? Then he rants in raves like a lunatic about windmills because that's his happy place just to say demented stuff and not actually grapple with the ramifications of his horrible and erratic behavior. When he's in Ireland, and he then says, "Well, I think that the Falkland Islands can't be protected by the UK," and then he's asked questions about it, "Widmills, your windmills are horrible." That's what he goes back to because he doesn't know what the hell he's doing, and he's an absolute lunatic here. I'll leave you with this. Iran's president Pizeshkin, who's been at the BRICS, just gave an interview with India today, and here's what he had to say about Trump. He said, "Trump is saying something every day. One day he wants to destroy Iran, another day he says we are friends, one day he says he accepts us, another day he says he doesn't accept us, so we are not sure what kind of statement we should accept and proceed based on which. With their technologies, actually, they, referring to the Trump regime in Israel, are the real terrorist in the world. You look at Israel in America. No difference what they are doing in Syria, in Lebanon, in Gaza, Iraq, Qatar, even in Iran. They assassinate anybody they wish, and then they claim that these people are terrorists. So it's a weird world. They kill people very easily for a single person. They kill a whole family, and they destroy a whole building. Then they say they killed the terrorist. They are the real terrorist. They are state terrorists, and that's what he's saying. While shoulder to shoulder with China, with Russia, with India, with the other bricks nations that we've been sharing with you, and then you had Jared Kushner this morning, who was at the Yalta European Strategy meeting, and he zoomed in, and he was asked, "Are you going to come back to Kiev?" Kushner and Kushner is like, "Well, hopefully we're really not in the Department of Diplomacy." Okay. Why is the son-in-law idiot involved in any of this? Why are we normalizing the idiot's son-in-law who's not appointed, who's not a diplomat? Why is any of the. Why are we normalizing anything? Who the hell is this guy? Kushner? Fricking loser? Seriously? Wait, cough. Donald Trump's scumbag real estate Manhattan guy. He's the hell's the secretary of state? Where the hell's our government? Where the hell's our country? And then my question, "When are you coming back to Kiev?" Well, hopefully very soon. We'll take your look. You're a businessman, and I think that, again, I have now, after doing this for 10 years, I do a diplomatic experience, having done all these different deals, but we're not really into a performative diplomacy, meaning that we do what we need to do on the phone. We do what we need to do over Zoom. People come see us. We see that. So, you know, we're trying to put our effort as focused as possible on the things that actually could drive the results forward. And so, just because. By the way, everybody, make sure you get your copy of WTF America pre-order it right now. It comes out October 20th, but pre-order it right now, if you can. Thanks, everybody.
