Trump Faces Growing Isolation as His Threats and Desperate Posts Spiral on the World Stage
26m 35s
Donald Trump is portrayed as deeply disconnected from reality in his rhetoric and actions, particularly regarding the Iran conflict, economic policy, and international diplomacy. He claims a U.S. military strike on Iran and asserts that Iran is a failed state with over 100,000 protesters killed—figures dismissed as fabricated and misleading. Iran’s leadership responds with confidence, emphasizing strategic resilience despite U.S. military power. Meanwhile, the U.S. is losing global influence as regional alliances, such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Mecca Pact, form outside U.S. influence. Trump’s domestic policies—like pushing data centers into communities, attacking Canada, and renaming Lake Ontario to “Lake America”—are condemned as exploitative, disrespectful, and ideologically driven. His economic claims, such as a 65-billion-barrel Venezuela oil deal, are criticized as technically impossible and morally indefensible, with experts calling it a scheme to boost Trump’s ego. The broader narrative depicts Trump’s administration as ineffective, disingenuous, and damaging to both domestic stability and global alliances, undermining U.S. credibility and exacerbating regional tensions.
Donald Trump is facing a brutal reality as he wakes up this morning as his life and his presidency are collapsing. Donald Trump rushed to state regime media, which calls itself Fox to spread the usual propaganda and make the usual threats. Now he's saying we are going to strike Iran so hard. Here's what he said to state regime media. Let's play it. Yeah, Lawrence. Good morning. I just spoke with President Trump, who told Fox News, the United States will respond to the Iranian attack on U.S. forces overnight in Jordan. The president said we're going to hit them hard. There will be a response. As I'm sure you now know from our reporting this morning, the U.S. attacked Iran last night. They hit laryk island. They said they were hitting rocket launchers, which were being used to hit tankers. I thought you destroyed all of the Iranian military capabilities. Iran responded by striking military bases belonging to the United States in Jordan, in the UAE, and also the AUD base in Qatar. Jordan and the UAE say they intercepted everything, which is false. We do know that some of those strikes connected with the U.S. bases. And then you had Treasury Secretary Scott Besent being rolled out to the G20 summit that's taking place right now in North Carolina where they banned reporters from the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg. And you have Besence just being treated like an utter clown right there. He's like a punchline to a bad joke. A reporter says, so is there a time frame when your economic D day is going to cause Iran to collapse? When's that going to happen? Besent here play this clip. Is there a time frame on when their economy could collapse? Oh, it's that we have the blockade. And we are going to continue exerting pressure. And we've had very good discussions here already. And I think it could be within weeks or months. And the economy doesn't have to collapse. We just have to have the regime come to their senses. Donald Trump facing this brutal reality this morning. Here is what he's posting on his social media, so deranged. Iran is officially a failed nation. It is dead, he says. They have no navy. They have no air force. They have no currency. They are not paying their soldiers or police. Inflation is at 300% and their leadership is in total disarray and incapable of properly representing the country. The only thing they have is fake news from the USA. A willingness to kill their protesters. Now over 100,000 people dead. They must be tried for war crimes against humanity. And a good line of bullshit. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Donald J. Trump. So now the number went up from 30,000 to 50,000. Now they killed 100,000 protesters. In other words, what we knew already, you can trust a single word that Donald Trump says. We should have always known that when they were saying 30,000 protesters and who is the source, Trump, that it was BS. Yes, there were protesters who were killed. We know that, but we need to understand what's really going on, what the right numbers are. And now Trump's lies cast doubt on everything. It's not 100,000. You can't just make up numbers with death like that. Oh, and by the way, when it comes to war criminals, you're the war criminal, Donald. Pete Hegsith is the war criminal, Donald. And you should and I hope will be tried in the Hague one day for all of your crimes against humanity. Meanwhile, Iran's general Mohamed Resan Nakhdi says, we expected victory because we were certain and confident in God's promise in his support when the US and Netanyahu attacked us. But we did not expect victory to come this easily. He says. And then he goes on to say, you know, when it comes to something like, you know, football, here in the United States, soccer, he's like, you know, sometimes the other side has a better team. But if they don't have a coach and if they don't have the ability to play, they could still lose the match. And he goes, yes, US clearly has more weapons than us. And they have a far more powerful army, but they've got a captain and a team that doesn't know what the hell they're doing. And so that's how we're able to beat them. What say you Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent? He's just mumbling. He's reduced to just mumbling at this point, play this clip. And then he says, I guarantee you, if we keep this pressure up, if we keep on torturing Iran, they're going to want to make a deal. That's how we do deals, everybody. If we can just try to obliterate people and declare D-Day on them, then they go, please, sir, can we make a deal with you, sir? Here, play this clip. A few times now that we're going to get to the other side on the Iran conflict. What sort of time frame do you have in your mind for that? Again, it's going to be the, when is this regime willing to come to the table as President Trump has been saying over the past few weeks, he doesn't think they're ready to make a deal. And I think that Operation Economic Outcast is going to make them want to make a deal. Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guard says that another super tanker that was in the Strait of Hormuz struck two naval mines in the southern Strait of Hormuz caught fire and was forced to stop. We haven't gotten any report from the UK MTO yet about this, but we do know the UK MTO has not been filing timely reports. They've been kind of captured by this whole sent com US to scam cover up machine. They used to do a good job reporting on these strikes in the Strait of Hormuz. Like there was another major strike 72 hours ago, which we reported on on the Midas Touch. You could see it. You could look at the satellite footage, but that was being covered up by the Trump regime and by the UK MTO. They did admit it yesterday. And now there appears to be this other super tanker that was hit in the Strait of Hormuz by the mines that are there. Donald Trump continuing to post videos of himself playing golf. I guess when the American people are suffering and can't afford groceries or gas and diesels that record high in people can't afford rent and health care is being ripped away and data centers are being built in people's backyard. Donald Trump wants everybody to know how rich he is that he's been making billions of dollars while in the White House doing quid pro quo deals selling pieces of the United States America away. Frankly, the whole thing to the highest bidder while he gets rich and while we all suffer, that's what he wants to tell us by showing him golfing while he and his sicko Epstein class continue to cover up child sex trafficking rings. Yeah, a bunch of freaking sick sick vile predators right there in the Trump regime. Awful scumbag trash humans. Always remember that. Then Donald Trump says this morning, the only reason that communities throughout the US should not want data centers is if they want to end up being backwards and poor. If they want to be successful and rich with far lower taxes and jobs all over the place, let data rain. The good news is that there are plenty of other places that want them. If we kill the golden goose, you will only have yourselves to blame. China could not be happier with this anti-data center movement. Actually, they can't believe it's happening. DJT China can't be happier that you are destroying the United States. Their plan of being the global hegemon, they thought that that would maybe be 20, 30 years from now, 40 years from now. You put that on fast forward and you've destroyed the US strength. You've destroyed Obama's pivot to Asia. You've destroyed Biden's diplomacy in the region. You've destroyed it all. Look what's happening internationally right now. You want to talk about China being happy. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization right now in Kyrgyzstan in Beshek, it's taking place. It is a smash hit where you have all of these countries right now forming alliances outside of the United States. And guess who's front and center? Iran is right there with all these countries at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. There's President Pazesky in shaking hands with India's Prime Minister Modi, continued war benefits neither Iran, the region nor humanity. Pazesky in says some groups in the US see their interest in prolong and conflict, but peace stability and security must prevail. You also had Prime Minister Modi of India meeting with Putin talking about cultural exchanges between the countries. So as Donald Trump has attacked cultural exchanges with India and mocked Indian students and treated India like crap and as Donald Trump mucks the idea of cultural exchanges and soft power and treats our closest ally Canada as a nation that Trump wants to invade and take over as we see Trump's behavior towards NATO. Look at what's happening. This is what Putin is saying to [BLANK_AUDIO]
probably saying Ben. This is so disingenuous. Putin's just saying this to Modi in order to curry favor. Yeah, that's what he think international diplomacy is. You know, I hope it's imbued with genuine spirit of love and compassion the way I love Canada. And I feel a great deal of camaraderie and collegiality and a great deal of tradition. So I hope it's based on authenticity when you make alliances. That's my view. It's my view of international diplomacy and you try to find people who share your values and principles. But there is a real politic aspect of it also, right? And Trump's screwing up every aspect of it. This is what Putin told Modi. India is among the leading countries in terms of the number of students studying in Russia. In recent years, this has increased sevenfold. We now have 40,000 students. We regularly hold cultural festivals, Indian festivals in Russia, Russia festivals in India. And mutual tourist flows are developing actively. That's also a major troll directed at the United States and the US attacks on Canada. And what they're doing over there at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting before, by the way, they're all going to meet at bricks in New Delhi and India is talk about bringing them bringing each other there together while the US is isolated. Do you see what's happening right there? And then in Istanbul, you had defense and foreign ministers in chiefs of staff from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan posing for a group photo ahead of their first defense committee meeting for the Mecca pact as the US security umbrella has been destroyed in the Middle East as Trump has weakened the United States standing in the world. You have these Arab nations that form these Sunni alliance for now and form this Mecca pact. We expect Egypt to join Bangladesh's thing and it may want to join. There may be a bunch of other countries joining the Mecca pact as well. And I'll just give you some headlines this morning. You know, how Donald Trump would always allow live the Gulf tournament from Saudi Arabia to play in all of the Trump clubs and Donald Trump would even say no one's really got to the bottom of 9/11. That right, Trump would literally a direct quote from Donald Trump. As you had families of people who were killed in 9/11 say, "Why are you doing this tournament at all of your golf clubs, Donald?" Well, everything Trump touches dies. Well, live Gulf, preparing for an imminent bankruptcy filing because Saudi Arabia has stopped all of its funding there. Also, Saudi Arabia is an early talks to raise at least $8 billion in new loans as the Iran war strains its finances and disrupts its trade. State oil giant Aramco is also exploring a separate loan while Riyadh faces a $9.1 billion quarter to deficit despite oil prices. And meanwhile, you have Treasury Secretary Besant attacking Canada in the most horrific and these people are just evil humans. You see how this MAGA cabinet found each other. They were losers in life. They all have a MAGA loser arc, a villain arc. You know, Besant, when he went on his own, failed with a $5 billion fund. He was viewed as a loser, an absolute loser in the finance community. And he found his MAGA loser club. And this is how he behaves. Oh, shut up, Besant. Besant is a, this is how losers talk. Listen to him over here or tech and play this clip. Yes, Mark, it's wondering if we're now in a tip-or-tatt trade war with Canada. Well, I don't think you can be in a tip-or-tatt with someone who's 13 times larger than you are. They say they're doing okay. What else are they going to say? Look, I think this is very unfortunate that Prime Minister Karney has turned this into a political shouting match. I mean, we're not a war with Canada. How are we going to be a war with Canada? What are they going to take their two submarines from the Edmonds and Mall and sick them on us? That he came to power on a anti-American anti-Trump agenda. He was 20 points behind in the poll and then he started this and it's unfortunate that he's not doing what's best for the Canadian. Talking about the MAGA loser arc, Mark Wayne Mullin, the new home lands. It's not new for that. He's been there for a little bit now, but he replaced Christy Nome, another fricking loser, and Mark Wayne Mullin's like, you've got the Biden administration. The Biden administration is failing the people. Hey, bud, Biden hasn't been in office for two years and by the way, you've made things way worse than they were when Biden handed this over to Donald Trump. Play this clip. Test. My grandfather drove a truck when he came back from World War II. It's a proud industry, with proud people that take a lot of pride in what they do. When they see their industry run because you have a Biden administration that is failing the American people because they're allowing millions of people to come to this country legally. Speaking of the loser arc, you've got Doug Bergen on state regime media Fox this morning, whining about the fake vandalism to their reflecting pool. Let's play it. The supply valves that were coming in were clogged. Getting those cleaned up is going to help make sure that we can do algae maintenance going forward with the nanobubblers that have been installed. The blue liner 99.7% of the liner was done perfectly. There was vandalism in spite of what everybody says, the clear evidence of that, that there was vandalism. And also some touch up coming after the Fourth of July fireworks. So when we had the record fireworks, which are set off adjacent right to that reflecting pool. So we're on we're on track to have that reflecting pool looking better than ever. But again, Kudos to President Trump, everything that he's done around then you had NASA administrator Jared Isaacman claiming that Trump gave NASA a shot in the arm during his speech last week, where he got zero reaction and the astronauts thought it was the craziest thing because it was the space academy. How close is it? Oh, what an exciting again. President Trump comes to Johnson Space Center in Texas and he gives NASA a shot in the arm of adrenaline. I'm telling you. I mean, we were then you have Netanyahu continuing to strike inside Gaza and the genocide continues. At least three people were killed. And in Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in Gaza cities, tell al-Hawwa neighborhood this morning. I do want to highlight this as well. Former United States ambassador to Russia, professor McFaul. And I think he describes the US Venezuelan lawful oil deal. And in terms that I think are perfect. I want to play it for you. I've been covering this in detail, Donald Trump saying, we're getting 65 billion barrels of oil from Venezuela. And it's immediately going to fill the strategic petroleum reserves. I've explained to you over and over that the oil in Venezuela is sour, it's viscous, it's dense. It doesn't go into the US strategic petroleum reserves into the salt caverns. It will require billions of dollars and five, 10 years of infrastructure to try to convert that very tarry crude to even get into our strategic petroleum reserves. It also makes it very difficult to refine. And then there's a reason that the Trump regime is doing their version of communism, state control that we're creating illegally, a Trump oil company in the defense department in order to work with Venezuela's, these Venezuela state owned basically company because US private businesses were investing in it. So Trump created like a Putin style US oil company illegal. And there's not 65 billion barrels. That's a made up number. It's not refinable. You can't put them in refineries right away. It's all BS. It's all market manipulation. But it soothes Donald Trump's ego of dominating the Western hemisphere and making people subservient. Here's for what Professor McVal says, play this clip. I'm embarrassed as an American to be associated with a government that is doing this. The whole world will react the same way. And the Venezuela and people are reacting that way because the second thing there's so outrageous about this deal is he's done it with a dictator. Chelsea Rodriguez has no legitimacy inside Venezuela. She's never been elected to anything else. She was the vice president to Maduro. And yet that is the person that we're doing this deal with leaving out the preferences of the citizens of Venezuela. I think it's a really bad deal. And I don't think it's going to work. If you're on a board of any serious company, you're going to invest hundreds of billions of dollars when your property rights are guaranteed by Donald Trump and the illegitimate dictator of Venezuela. To me, that is a very improved decision. And my prediction is this will fall apart. And then you've got the Maga Republican Congress members like Andy Harris saying that Alberta should secede and we're pushing to make Canada the 51st state. This is what the Maga Republican Congress members are saying play this clip. Do you see this helping the Canadians? Obviously they're very progressive. They're using it as a talking point to really move forward with their agenda, just saying they're pushing back against President Trump and they're doing everything they can to fight for Canada. Well, look, I've
The fact of the matter is Alberta is talking about seceding from Canada. We should make it the 51st state, tremendous oil reserves there. The socialism doesn't work in Western Canada. A lot of those provinces don't want to be associated with Ottawa and the president is taking advantage of it. Yeah. Well, the effort was sending out. And then finally this morning you had Doug Bergen, Donald Trump's interior secretary. Also talking about how Donald Trump's been on the phone with Apple, like he was with Google, making them change their maps so that they erase Lake Ontario. And then they put Lake America, even though Lake Ontario, Ontario is an indigenous word. It's from the people who were here before the US and Canada existed by far. And there's Ontario's in the United States. It literally just translates to big lake, great lake. But the Trump regime is a bunch of vile, despicable piece of trash human beings. And so this is how they behave. Let's play it. We're two Google maps with you because they're now showing Lake America for US users. Folks in Canada, reportedly are still saying Lake Ontario, but this follows President Trump's executive order. He directed your department and the US board on geographic names to formally adopt this new name. Mr. Secretary, Apple maps still has Lake Ontario. But how far does this change go and will that happen soon? Well, it's a little bit of inside baseball, but it's interesting when President signs an executive order reflecting a name change like the Gulf of America or Lake America. It does direct the Department of Interior. That board that you described, the board of geographic names, is part of the US Geologic Survey. That great mapping institution and science institution, which is part of the Department of Interior. They plug that into the software and then that software cascades down. So all the map providers would do that. And I know that the President reached out to Apple directly, so I'm sure that we may be seeing that change coming up soon to Lake America. There we go. We're looking at that image right now on our screens. Well, there you have it. Everybody, let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers. We appreciate you.
