Meanwhile, Primally Pure introduces a clean, non-toxic starter bundle for everyday personal care. On a political front, Donald Trump faces widespread criticism for erratic statements, including falsely claiming ownership of Greenland and promising $5,000 to voters based on election outcomes. Critics argue his policies—such as threatening to deny veteran medical claims based on election results—exhibit cruelty and political manipulation. His administration is also accused of prioritizing reality TV over governance, with officials hosting shows and ignoring public duties. A major scandal involves former lawyer Alina Habba receiving a $50 million deal linked to a clemency request from a Venezuelan family, raising ethical concerns. Additionally, public frustration grows over soaring gas prices, inflation, and economic strain. Voter trends show a strong shift toward Democrats, with North Carolina’s Democratic victory signaling declining trust in Trump’s leadership.

Donald Trump looked like death as he returned to the White House late last
night after that disastrous speech in North Carolina before the very tiny
crowd where he was heckled almost the entire time. Let me show you as Donald
Trump struggled to get into the White House. It looks like he was about to walk
into the wall. Shout out to my guy Donk for pointing this out. Let's play this
clip.
So when Donald Trump gets in the White House late last night, he starts posting
video and video of himself meeting Xi Jinping at the White House over a month
ago. This is what he's posting now. While the American people are struggling to
get by, diesel and gas continues to surge to record highs. The 30-year fixed
mortgage, unattainable, like 7.5%, the treasury market utterly in shambles. People are struggling
to afford anything. He's posting videos of himself and China's President Xi Jinping. Look,
we don't care, okay? You love China's President. You love Putin. We get it. Just grow up and
just pretend to be responsible. Can you? No, he can't. The White House also making plans right now
to completely destroy the White House. The White House is also making plans right now to completely
destroy the White House. The White House is also making plans right now to completely destroy the
press room, where the press briefings take place. I guess after Katie Zakaria
be-clowned the White House, they just want to get rid of the entire room and they want to turn it
into a swimming pool, the New York Times reports. So Trump's main focus right now, he wants to
destroy the East Potomac golf course. It must be destroyed. Destroy the maple trees. Destroy the
mature oaks. Destroy the cherry blossoms. Take them down and let's turn the world around.
Turn the White House press briefing room into a swimming pool. The hell are you? Does he even go
swimming? I mean, I don't want to ask the next question, but I don't think the guy's ever gone
swimming before, but what do I know? The Trump regime, though, is now also focused on a new
reality show. Get this. Last night, I'm not sure if you missed it, five small business owners,
$1 million. Watch them battle.
To turn their dreams into a reality. We said on the Midas Touch account, we would say it's like
The Apprentice, but it's more like The Hunger Games. Donald Trump destroys the economy and now
he hosts a reality show where five small business owners struggle to survive while Donald Trump
posts about how he's giving bailouts to farmers because he's bankrupted them all. And he's saying,
look what I'm doing.
$8 billion bailout for farmers to cover the diesel cost surge. I kid you not. This is how
Trump claims he's supporting the American farmers by bankrupting them and then doing a bailout,
another one. And he's boasting about that because he launched catastrophic wars and trade wars
that have resulted in inflation that's crippled our farmers. It's so damn disgusting. Oh,
more posts.
From Kelly Leffler, the Small Business Association Commissioner. She goes,
the million dollar pitch competition airs tonight on YouTube and Prime Video. We don't care. We
really don't care. You're supposed to be the White House. Why are you doing reality shows?
And by the way, it's not just the Small Business Association, the Transportation Secretary. Duffy,
he did a reality show where he traveled the country with his family instead of working.
We don't want to see these.
Reality shows, okay? And as I've said before, I talk about this, by the way, in WTF America. Did
you get your copy of it? That Trump just has turned our country into a dystopian reality show
where we're all non-consensual extras. And I try to remind us that that's not what government's
supposed to be. It's supposed to actually be responsible and principled and serious and
competent and filled with public servants who are working for the people.
To help, to make things better, not to take away, not to scam, not to host weird reality shows.
I mean, she's posting these photos here, sporting our million dollar pitch competition. And they're
doing like weird poses. I don't want you to do weird poses. I don't want to see this. I don't
care. I don't like you. We don't like you. Just behave and do your job like normal people and
stop with the reality show crap. It's absolutely crazy.
Donald Trump looked like death as he was returning from North Carolina on that trip he took,
where he gave a speech in front of a tiny crowd. And his whole speech was basically telling the
crowd, hey, look, if you vote Republican, I will do this for you. Even though I've had two years
to do it for you anyway, and I've just effed you up. I've effed you over. I've screwed you so badly.
I couldn't. Republicans control the executive branch, the House, the Senate. The right-wing
Supreme Court is a right-wing fascist Supreme Court. But we didn't do it. But now, you either
vote Republican or else. Because look what he says over here. He says that if Republicans
lose in North Carolina, he will use the power of his office to deny Marine veterans claims for
medical treatment for cancer and other life-threatening diseases,
resulting from decades of water contamination by toxic chemicals at Camp Lejeune. He says,
if the Republicans win, we will pay all legitimate claims to our veterans. But if we lose,
we will not pay the claims. What kind of sick thing is that to say? Why wouldn't you pay the
claims these past two years? Now you're saying that you're going to withhold the payment if
Republicans lose?
A traitor. He is treasonous. Donald Trump is a sick, vile thing. But here's what he says. Play
this clip.
And if we win the House and the Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle
all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible and get it off the books and get it
finished. This has gone on for years. And we will go, all of these will go directly to the veterans
and their families.
And we won't, we don't want to give any to the trial lawyers. We've given a lot of money to no
trial lawyers, if you don't mind. We wanted to go to the families, not to the lawyers. If you don't
mind, let it go to the families. Ted, do you agree with that? Ted Budd says yes. That means it's good
with me. So if we don't win, there's no money. If we do win, you're getting it. It's going to be
finally over with that nightmare that's been going on for so many years. We will never abandon
the heroes who served in the military. We will never abandon America. And that's what that's all about. And we.
Then he goes and he tells that crowd in North Carolina, if you elect Republicans to the House
and Senate, you're going to get a $5,000 check. If we lose, you get nothing. That's the choice
that you make. You want $5,000, you vote Republicans or else you get nothing. No one's
buying this. Trump's approval is at record low and it gets lower and lower when he does stuff like
this. All of the MAGA people, they're all,
just getting destroyed. We'll talk about Vivek Ramaswamy in a second. You had the opportunity,
if you were going to do this, which by the way, is very inflationary, I might add,
as you've already increased the debt over $40 trillion. You had two years to do it. You can
do it today. You control all branches of government, the House of Representatives. I don't
think they worked more than 20 days in the past two years. Slightly exaggerating, but they worked
less than 20 days. I don't think they worked less than 20 days in the past two years. I don't think they worked less than 20 days in the
14 days in the past five months or six months. That's an undisputed fact. So now, now he goes
around the Pied Piper of fraud. Vote Republicans and this time, hope is right around the corner.
He's just a liar. Here, play this clip. In conclusion, if you elect a Republican House
and Republican Senate on November 3rd, you're going to get $5,000. And if we lose, you get
nothing. You're going to get nothing. Make it a lot easier. Make it a lot easier for them. And then
Again, just an utter lunatic when he was in the Oval Office yesterday.
He said, I just want to thank NATO for them giving me Greenland.
We got Greenland.
It was very good that NATO gave us Greenland.
You don't have Greenland.
What are you talking about?
We don't own Greenland.
What a weird, sick thing to say.
We don't have Greenland.
And they said, no, but they were nice enough to give us Greenland,
despite all the bad talk.
Oh, he's not going to get us.
We got Greenland.
And it's a great relationship we have with, frankly, Europe.
Now, we know that Trump insiders right now, Trump regime officials,
they're hiring lawyers.
They're terrified about what's going to happen after these midterms.
And you should be terrified.
Democrats in the House Oversight Committee and Judiciary Committee,
they are ready.
They're ready to let those subpoenas fly on day one.
And a lot of this criminality is going to get smoked the hell out.
Several Trump administration officials and close allies are now also describing
a toxic mix of jockeying for power and preemptive finger-pointing ahead of the midterms.
Quote, "It's more brutal than any other situation in modern times in the White House,"
said one Trump ally.
"You can't trust anybody here."
Meanwhile, they continue to mock Donald Trump in Iran.
In Tehran, a billboard right by the city center features a 24-hour display of Donald Trump behind bars.
Well, what's Roger Marshall, MAGA Republican Senator from Kansas, saying about this?
Trump was just in Kansas before his trip to North Carolina.
Here's what Roger Marshall's
perspective is on these skyrocketing gas prices.
He says, "You know what?
There are just things that are more important than money.
There are things that are more important than money."
Here, play this clip.
So, you know, what I'm trying to say, you know, to answer your question,
certainly the cost of gas is an issue.
But now people are coming home saying, "Oh, what's more important than money?"
There are things more important than money to Kansans.
You take a look at North Carolina, where Donald Trump just visited, Democrat Roy Cooper,
leads Michael Watley 56.9% to 43.1%.
It's a wipeout.
It's a blowout.
Former Governor Cooper is going to win that race.
And let's talk about Vivek Ramaswamy for a second.
Ramaswamy is running for governor in Ohio.
He's a despicable, vile individual, and he shows that each day.
He's running against Dr. Amy Acton.
And as you know, Vivek took out an ad featuring Acton's estranged mom.
Who became estranged from Acton when Acton was 12 years old, because Acton's estranged
mom's boyfriend, whatever he was, the stepfather of Acton sexually assaulted Acton when she
was 12 years old.
When that was uncovered, Acton's stepfather was arrested, and Acton's mom took the side
of the stepfather.
And obviously, Acton and her brother had to be removed.
Because of the abusive environment, and that her stepdad was raping her, sexually assaulting
her.
And Vivek ran an ad featuring Acton's mom saying, "Don't trust my daughter," when
Dr. Amy Acton was estranged from her mother for her entire life, since she was 12 years
old.
So, Vivek gave a speech the other day, and he was confronted about this.
Let's roll the clip.
Let's play it.
Yeah, and speaking of the corruption, I want to highlight this story that broke yesterday,
as well.
Alina Habba, Donald Trump's former lawyer who represented him in the defamation case
where E. Jean Carroll won like 85 or 90 million dollars arising out of the Trump sexual assault
of E. Jean Carroll.
Then he defamed his sexual assault victim.
Alina Habba, who was a United States attorney unlawfully in New Jersey, and then was an
advisor to the DOJ.
While she was a special advisor to the DOJ, apparently she was doing this, is what New
York Times is reporting.
Although, Alina Habba denies this.
A billionaire wanted a Trump pardon.
His family gave Alina Habba a 50 million dollar deal.
Julio Herrera-Volentini, a prominent Venezuelan, was seeking clemency.
He got it not long after his daughter gave Ms. Habba, a lawyer close to Trump, an extraordinarily
lucrative job.
Julio Herrera-Volentini really wanted a pardon.
A billionaire banker from a prominent Venezuelan family.
Mr. Herrera faced felony bribery charges.
He struck an unusually lenient plea deal in August 2025 for a misdemeanor campaign finance
violation.
But he felt that reduced charge was still a stain on his record.
So Mr. Herrera deployed his lawyer, Christopher Kreis, who was one of Donald Trump's former
lawyers, the former Florida Solicitor General, to help with the plea for clemency.
His 27-year-old daughter, Isabella Herrera-Volentini, gave Ms. Habba a 50 million dollar plea.
His 27-year-old daughter, Isabella Herrera, was seeking clemency.
who was an American citizen, donated $3.5 million to a super PAC tied to Mr. Trump.
But as of last fall, the pardon remained elusive. Then the Herrera family hired Alina Haba,
who had been one of Mr. Trump's personal lawyers and at the time was an advisor to the Justice
Department. They offered her $10 million a year for four years, along with a range of bonuses.
In total, including bonuses, she was guaranteed more than $50 million over four years,
according to interviews and documents obtained by the New York Times.
Under the agreement, Ms. Haba would become general counsel at Concord Partners,
a company that Ms. Herrera set up in October 2025 in Florida. The company has no public profile
and its business remains unclear, even to some people associated with the Herrera business
company.
Ms. Haba finalized her deal days after her company was registered. At the time,
Ms. Haba was also a senior advisor to Attorney General Pam Bondi, overseeing U.S. attorneys.
She had an office at the Justice Department and a protective detail from the U.S. Marshal,
a holdover from her time serving as the United States Attorney in New Jersey.
She formally began her work for Concord Partners on January 1st.
Weeks later, Ms. Haba was hired by the U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi,
and a year later, Trump granted Mr. Herrera a full and unconditional pardon.
So I want you to remember that while you are struggling to pay your gas bills or your diesel
bills, while you are struggling to pay your rent, while you are struggling to pay your mortgage if
you're fortunate enough to have one, while you can't afford groceries, while you have had your
health care ripped away, this is what the Trump regime is doing. This is the stuff they're doing
every day. This is what they're doing every day. This is what
they're doing every damn day. And that's just one of millions of examples like that. With our
taxpayer money, while they screw you over, this is what they are doing. And they're laughing in
our faces. These are truly demonic and evil people. I don't say this in a political way. I
say this just as a human being. These Trumpers are truly demonic and evil people who hate this
country, who hate this country, and who hate this country. And
who hate you. You need to remember that about them because that's just the reality. I want you to
