Trump Finally Surfaces and It Gets Ugly!

Donald Trump is engaged in a sustained campaign of misinformation and aggressive rhetoric, targeting media, foreign policy, and domestic policy. He falsely claims that left-wing media manipulates polls and that the U.S. economy is in crisis due to Biden’s policies, while promoting a fraudulent Venezuela oil deal lacking legal, financial, and logistical feasibility. Critics highlight that the deal violates U.S. and Venezuelan law, lacks infrastructure, and is backed by unapproved Pentagon financing. Trump’s actions, such as attacking Canada, deporting TPS holders to dangerous conditions in Haiti, and downplaying the pandemic, are widely condemned as unethical and authoritarian. Military leaders have publicly disagreed with Trump’s war expansion orders, signaling internal dissent. Meanwhile, data shows soaring inflation—particularly in fuel, food, and consumer goods—under his administration, contradicting his claims of economic stability. The transcript criticizes the right-wing media’s bias and emphasizes the importance of independent, fact-checked sources like Ground News. It concludes that Trump’s policies and rhetoric reflect a dangerous pattern of disinformation, disregard for facts, and a growing disconnect from democratic norms and public wellbeing.

Oof, Donald Trump is lashing out this morning like the lunatic that he is as everything is falling apart. It's been post after post like this. The fake polls used by our cricket media are out of control and something must be done about it. FCC to the rescue, DJT, then he attacks Kristen Welker on Meet the Press. Kristen Welker, the unpopular hostess of the once great Meet the Press, now considered Meet the fake press just stated that Donald Trump has mixed results on his endorsements of candidates because of this purposeful inaccuracy. She will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment. Unfortunately, she is not the only one. The radical left news is going out of their way to harass, demean and libel, anything Trump. By the way, I watched Meet the Press this morning in order to prepare these videos and just to see what was being discussed. She never brought that up once. You're going to report her for punishment, folks. We have a lunatic and psycho in the Oval Office. Donald Trump is sending his top prop agandist out on state regime media Fox this morning. Maga Republican Congress member, Tom Emerge just went on Fox. Here's what he said about the polling data and why he believes the American people have the lowest consumer confidence in the history of the United States. He says it's all a media conspiracy against Donald Trump. Here play this clip. What do you expect the public to feel when the left wing media is writing articles on a regular basis and telling the American people it's not good out there? It is. Wages are rising faster than they have risen in decades and they are keeping up the feeling though, based on all of the information they're getting is, well, it's not that great. They're spending is up. Their wages are up. I think we've got to do a really good job down the stretch of emphasizing that. And I think the American people, they recognize they're smarter than Washington and these left wing media types. They understand this is an election about common sense, which is Donald Trump and Republicans and crazy insanity, which is our colleagues on the other side of the aisle. He's then asked on state regime media, well, you guys have been in control now of all branches of government and the debt just increased over $40 trillion. I want you to watch what Emmer says in response here play this clip. The American people are looking at a headline that's a little disconcerting and that's the nation's debt. We surpassed $40 trillion. So in any way, shape or form, is fiscal restraint going to be on the agenda for you and your colleagues? It has been, you understand this didn't happen overnight, Cheryl. This has been going on for decades and it's been an irresponsible handling of the funds. I would argue for decades and the president, Donald Trump and House Republicans are absolutely committed, as I believe our Senate colleagues are to reducing that debt and the deficit. And I think that will be priority number one, once we get through these midterms. We already had a record amount that we cut. Unfortunately, it's like spit on a hot tar road in the middle of July, Cheryl. There's so much that we have yet to do. There's only one party, by the way, that's going to. And that is Donald J. Trump and Republicans in the House and the Senate are the only ones that are going to make sure that this great Republican continues for the benefit of our children and grandchildren. You know, so look, Donald Trump's responsible for like 30% of the entire national debt that we have. I mean, he was in office sadly years ago. He's been office again. And the MAGA Republicans have been the biggest fiscal disaster imaginable, just so you can see what Kristen Welker was actually talking about. I'm no Kristen Welker fan. I think she bolts sides a lot of issues, but she had Ted Cruz on this morning, and she was asking Cruz. So have our military objectives in Iran been met? Like you claim that we've achieved victory in Donald Trump's calling it this mission accomplished. So why not send our troops home? Here's what Ted Cruz says. And again, it's just just complete lies and he's just you could see, you could see the live form on live TV here, play this clip, American boots on the ground. But the Iranian people said, I hear you arguing the military objectives have been achieved. If that's the case, why can't the troops come home? There are still some 50,000 troops there. Well, but the troops are not active combat operations have largely seized their occasional skirmishes, but the active military conflict has reduced significantly. The major operation now is the blockade, the blockade is imposing economic sanctions. And every day that that pressure on the regime grows, I think Donald Trump then this morning continuing to attack Canada. He posted this deranged message, Christian leaders are urging Trump to create legal pathways for Jewish Canadians facing anti-Semitism, but there's so much to unpack right there. So, but that's how you're attacking Canada as though Canada is this horrible play. I mean, it's again deranged lunatic behavior. He then reposted again, the fake polls by our crooked media are out of control. He's been posting this over and over again this morning, by the way, this post on his social media platform posted an ad, which he obviously gets paid for these ads. His social media platform, Trump $1,000 bills being given away free for truth social users. Hurry, there's only 71 left. So if you want to pay for a fake Trump $1,000 bill, you can pretend you're going to get it for free. Again, utter lunatic. And here you have the premiere of Ontario, Doug Ford. He calls Donald Trump out and says, you know, this behavior is like something you'd see on Saturday night, Saturday night live. Like what in the world is even going on with you, America is like it's sad. We love Americans in Canada, but like this is like embarrassing for you, bud. Here, play this clip. Don't see the purpose. It's absolutely backwards. It was like something out of Saturday night live when he signed documents saying change to Lake America. It's no one's going to call it Lake of America. It's been Lake Ontario for hundreds of years. It's going to continue being Lake Ontario and it's just so, so disappointing because I love the US. I love the American people, Canadians love the American people. We differentiate between the great American people and the president. So then Donald Trump rolling out his new Ponzi scheme that I've been talking about a lot. He writes the following, one of the things I'm going to do with the Venezuelan oil is fill up the strategic national reserves because sleepy Joe Biden, it's been virtually emptied. The topping out process will begin very shortly and is a gift from Venezuela to the people of the United States. Thank you, President Donald J. Trump. So again, he blames the strategic reserves being depleted on Biden as though we're all just a bunch of idiots, right? It's like you did a catastrophic and unlawful war that caused the crisis that we're in. Biden hasn't been in office for two years. Biden did use strategic petroleum reserves, but then replenished it and made a profit for the United States. You have put us into this crisis that we're in right now. And it's why I've been talking about this Venezuela fraud deal now for a very long time. I've been covering it a lot right because I want to show you what the scam is going to be. See what he's saying right here. He's like, with all of this oil and this deal that I just cut, we're going to be able to solve the American gas crisis right now where your oil prices are surging. The price of diesel is surging. We have our strategic petroleum reserves depleted, but I just did a deal for 65 billion barrels of oil and Venezuela businesses. I'm not going to tell you which ones, but they're going to invest $100 billion in Venezuela. It's going to generate $220 billion in revenue for Venezuela. So it's going to be good for them as well. And so then I say, show me where the deal is. Show me the paperwork who's involved in the deal. And the more you dig into it, the more you realize it's a fraudulent deal. The whole thing is phony. It's illegal, even if it was actually going to happen in the sense that the U.S. would require congressional authority for this. And Venezuela has laws against this. Also if it were to happen, you would need to build out the infrastructure in order to eventually refine this potential oil reserves that exist in Venezuela. It's not like extract that you can't just take it and put it in our strategic reserves right now. The crude in Venezuela is sour, it's sticky, it's viscous, it's dense, it's hard to refine. There's a reason why our oil industry execs, fans of them to say, but they've said it's uninvestable by and large, both because of the government there, invent as well, it's the authoritarian Chavista Maduro regime that's still in power there, which didn't we recently say these are narco terrorists and traffickers, they're eating it and that's why Trump had to admit, oh, it was just about stealing the oil from them, but also it's difficult to refine this oil and it will cost lots of capex expenditures. It will be very expensive to build and that's not going to solve the problem that Americans are facing right now. They can't afford gas right now. They can't afford diesel right now. Everything's more expensive because of Donald Trump's catastrophic war. So this is all a massive scam. Also, when you read some of the details, according to the Wall Street Journal, the financing mechanism for the Venezuelan oil deal is the Pentagon's Office of Strategic Capital brought in late in the process after the State Department needed a vehicle to structure the deal. O.S. C's authority runs to loans and guarantees for critical industries and unlike the Development Finance Corp, O.S. C has no explicit statutory authority to take direct equity stakes. So if that holds up what's the legal basis for the Pentagon for Hegsith owning a piece of a private company sitting on a fifth of Venezuela's oil reserves, then responding to Reuters request for comment, if Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the Office of Strategic Capital O.S. C does not take equity stakes in private companies under its statutory authority. O.S. C's role is strictly limited to providing capital assistance in the form of a loan. So what the hell is this then? It's just yet another Trump fraud deal to manipulate the markets. Don't you all see it? And it's not working. Prices are up. Even Republican Senator John Corden of Texas, who Donald Trump basically caused Corden to lose his job and Trump endorse Ken Paxton, the ultra corrupt, mega extremist who's now running against James Talleriko, the Democratic candidate, Senator Corden in post, a new poll finds that Trump's tariffs are unpopular in Texas, especially among Hispanics by huge margins right there. Of course, that's going to be the case. By the way, it's why we need to get our news from accurate sources. And I just note the following. Take a look at these two articles. The Canada U.S. Trade War and what happens when Bringsmanship blows up. And it talks about the devastating economic impacts caused by Trump attacking Canada with this trade war. It's being covered nowhere in the right wing media, or even nowhere in the center media, you know, is the so-called center is covering it as well. It's being covered exclusively on the left. But then you get a story like this. Trump calls International Space Station during visit to NASA Mission Control Center, just like pure propaganda. And by the way, if you watch that on the Midas Touch Network, Donald Trump didn't know how to use a phone. He held the phone like five feet away from him. And he had Natalie was right behind him right there. And he was saying to range things to the astronauts about how he conquered Venezuela and how the space force is being used to commit these war crimes. And so I just want to show you there like what's being reported out there. It's why I use ground news. It's why I partnered with Ground News for this episode. They're the best tool for me to stay objective with my reporting. Ground news is an app in a website that pulls in thousands of articles from around the world and organizes then by the story to show you. How's it being covered on the left? How's it being covered on the center? How's it being covered on the right? Like I just shared with you right there. It's got a great color coded layout to make it easy to see how the political bias is being demonstrated in the different sources. On this article, I just showed you, for example, what was being covered on the left and how right when was covering Donald Trump calls the International Space Station. Look, I believe in ground news so much we're offering you 40% off the same vantage plan that I use for my research. Just go click the link in the description or go to ground.

I like their feature also where they tell you if the sources corporate owned or independent media owned as well. So anyway, go check that out. I think this is an important thing to be discussing. I'm going to do a whole other video on this. So keep checking back on the YouTube feed because you know, I've been covering this for a very long time. But the Washington Post out with a blockbuster report. Military leaders warn Hegsith against extending around war operations. Leaders of the U.S. European command, the U.S. Pacific command and U.S. Southern command along with the Navy's top admiral responded with what it is characterized in an S. D. O. B. as a non concur. Those familiar with the assessment said, meaning they disagree with the secretaries orders to extend their forces. They will execute it. But they disagree with the orders. So you have admiral caudal, general grinker, which general Donovan general paparo. And they all put in this S. D. O. B. The Secretary of Defense orders book a very rare non concur that they don't agree with these orders. They don't think they're right. It's going to hurt their troops and going to cause massive massive problems. But what say you Ted Cruz? Because Donald Trump's out there saying mission accomplished that this was all great. Ted Cruz. This is what Ted Cruz said on Meet the Press. Let's play it. Let's talk about the war with Iran, which as I said, has now hit it six month mark this week. It's notable because President Trump said the war would only last a few weeks. He posted this image of himself, Senator declaring quote, mission accomplished. You see it right there in the bottom right hand corner. Senator, do you agree with President Trump that it's mission accomplished in Iran? Well, listen, I think there are multiple missions. If you look at the initial mission that the Trump administration laid out, which is to degrade and eliminate Iran's military capacity, then I think the answer is unequivocally. Yes, if you look at their ballistic missile supplies almost entirely destroyed. Their drone supplies almost entirely destroyed. Their drone and ballistic missile manufacturing capability has been leveled to the ground. Their air force is in rubble on the runway. Their navy is sunk at the bottom of the ocean. Much of their senior leadership has been eliminated. So in terms of military objectives, I think that is correct. Now, if you also look at the objective of imposing economic harm right now with the blockade that we are holding on Iran, Iran is facing $500 million a day of economic cost. That is enormous cost that is ratcheting up. The economy is in free fall. Now, I would like to see the longer term objection, objective B regime collapse, the Iatola and the-- Then you had Tom Homan, the fascist head of ICE or the borders are, but he oversees ICE and border patrol and all that. The borders are is what they call him. So he was asked by Dana Bash. So, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy says that ICE is targeting parents sitting at school bus stops to terrorize little kids. Is that happening? And you'll see, Tom Homan doesn't deny it. He goes, "Well, we're not here illegally. Then we got to deport them. If they're not here legally, then we're not trying to terrorize the kids. But, you know, that's what happens. They're there. We're going to go to terrorize them. Why would they be terrorized if we take their parents and we grab them and we beat them up in front of the kids?" Again, these people are lunatics. These people remind me, in my opinion, of the SS, of the Gestapo of the Brown. These are sick people. And watch the banality of evil as it's been said. Watch him here. Play this clip. Turn to what's being reported in Connecticut. Senator Chris Murphy said ICE officers targeted parents at school bus stops this week. He said, "In Danberry, they are just targeting parents sitting at school bus stops just to terrorize little kids. Are ICE officers detaining parents at school bus stops?" ICE is an ambitious of terrorizing children. That's just political fire. ICE is out there enforcing law that was enacted by Congress. Then we rest illegal hands or some parents. I'm sure many are. But we're not out there to terrorize children. Rather, to look for illegal aliens with final orders removable, those who overstayed, those are criminals, and rather to look for arrest them. ICE has no intention of terrorizing children. More from Tom Homan right here. He's asked, I think, a good question by Dana Bash. You all released these videos of Haitians who were working here in the United States. They were under temporary protected status, not criminals. They built businesses. They had families here. They contributed to the economy. They paid taxes. You revoke their TPS status. It's going to harm the US economy too. You sent them back to Haiti where they will likely die pretty soon. They're probably going to get killed. You're sending these people to their death in Haiti because we know the conditions on the ground. We know even what the State Department has said the conditions on the ground right now in Haiti art. You send these people who have been living in America into Haiti, they will get killed. And you've sent them there and you made a video glorifying it. So you see any problem with that? Here let's play this clip. Department of Homeland Security sent two deportation flights to Haiti over the past two weeks. Haiti is a country that a Trump administration official this week said is in a dire state saying that for months terrorists gangs have murdered civilians, terrorized communities, burned homes and destroyed families. Why is the Trump administration knowingly sending Haitians, including many who've lived in the U.S. legally under temporary protective status into the danger that they describe? Again, we're returning to deportees to their home country. Many times the home country don't accept them, we send them to a third country. I'm not in a loop on this specific incident, but again, that's the question the Department of Homeland Security, but when people are ordered deported, they can't stay here. They're going to go home. He says like that's what the American people voted for. People didn't vote for this. People didn't vote for y'all to behave like Nazis. Okay, maybe some people did who that's what they wanted out of Donald Trump, but vast majority of Americans, these, frankly, if you're like, well, even if these are criminals, they deserve to be treated with due process. And they're not. These are people who were not criminals. They were treated. These people have built businesses here and they've contributed here and you've sent them to their deaths and it is disgusting. But this is a death cult. We can't normalize this behavior. This is a death cult that you're seeing. And look at Donald Trump's behavior this morning, you know, then they send out Peter Navarro. And so Peter Navarro, one of Donald Trump's top advisors, he's, this is one of the things they're talking about this morning. He's sitting in front of placards that read, Dr. Fauci must rot in prison and the message coming out from one of Donald Trump's top advisors is, COVID wasn't a big deal. The people who died, who cares, it's not a big deal. So why are we even acting like it was a major issue? This is what they're pushing again. This is the level of disinformation and craziness they're pushing this morning here. Let's play this clip. But within, within the 15 days, we found out, well, this is not that infectious. It's not really hitting children much. It's like younger people can deal with it and the ones who were really in risk of the comorbidities and the other thing and it didn't matter to Fauci, he was, he was going to put, close all the schools, close all the businesses, lock everybody down. By the way, it wasn't even as deadly as average side, not even close. I know they know that at the time, but the reality was, if you died in the car accident or a motorcycle accident where you got murdered or you committed suicide, well, it wasn't there. We lost a million people, but I said we lost a million people, they were old people who died, you know, you get it with diabetes or you're obese, that's going to kick the crap out of you. You got to, but then you're like 20 years old, but you're like a college athlete, right? And what is Fauci want to do? You want to give it a frigate vaccine, this thing, you know, your heart's in large, you have my card, you got it, it's my point. At the Midas Touch Network, we've made this list right here of price increases July 2025 to July 2026. We looked at the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, so we just took the numbers from the Trump regime. I think that they're probably downplaying these numbers, but these are Trump regime numbers, okay? Just to be very clear, fuel and oil up 39 percent. Their motor fuels up 30 percent, airline fare is up 25 percent, regular gasoline up 25 percent, mid grade gasoline, 25 percent, jewelry up 15 percent, instant coffee up 15 percent, computer accessories up 21 percent, uncooked beef roast up 13 percent, 13.5 percent, video game subscriptions and video games, 13.4 percent, postage up 13.3 percent, tomatoes 12.8 percent, apples 11.1 percent, watches 10.6 percent, I can keep going on, right? I mean, everything's up massively, massively right now. But if you listen to Tom Emmer, that's just, that's just, let's bring radio propaganda. That's up right. Okay. I'm literally ready to use statistics from the Trump regime right now. I keep on reading, but we all live life. You know, I understand that in club Mar-a-Lago or the Golden Ballroom, they don't have these issues, but like, we all know this to be the case.
