Trump FULLY CRACKS on SUNDAY…

Donald Trump and his administration are under intense criticism for a pattern of deception, misinformation, and deepening corruption. From AI-generated political memes to false claims about oil flows and gas prices, Trump’s messaging is repeatedly shown to contradict verified data. Energy secretary Chris Wright falsely claims high oil volumes through the Strait of Hormuz while data shows only modest flows, and he attributes rising fuel prices to Ukraine and Biden, ignoring the real causes like Russian refinery closures and U.S. refinery shutdowns. The administration is also accused of unethical financial practices, including funneling Venezuelan oil profits into a private Trump bank account in Qatar, bypassing U.S. Treasury oversight. Trump’s allies, including Treasury Secretary Bessent, use derogatory, childish metaphors to attack Canada, while downplaying the risks of military presence in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials respond calmly, indicating the region remains unstable. Meanwhile, Democrats, including Congressmember Jamie Raskin, argue that Trump’s conduct—ranging from unapproved military actions to destroying White House infrastructure—constitutes multiple impeachable offenses and a threat to national security. The report concludes that the Trump regime is operating with reckless, dishonest, and authoritarian tendencies, undermining public trust, national stability, and economic wellbeing. It emphasizes the importance of independent media, like Ground News, to provide balanced, fact-based analysis amid polarized narratives.

Donald Trump began the morning by posting an AI image of Robert DeNiro holding up a t-shirt that says, "Trump is my president," and then Donald Trump wrote, "Even this jerk is beginning to get it. This as the American people are suffering on Labor Day, gas and diesel prices are at historic highs." Donald Trump's approval is at historic lows. Thank God we have the midterms coming up because this behavior is truly insane, and dangerous, and frankly incredibly pathetic. Then Donald Trump posts, "Canada's currency dollar imbalance with the U.S. is unacceptable. It has been that way for years, but no longer DJT." So he continues to attack Canada. Now he's attacking the currency, and then he posts this, "Dumbocrats cheat. Why won't they approve voter ID? Proof of citizenship?" And then there's an ad attached to it. You want to talk about currency? Donald Trump is still advertising fake currency on his failing social media platform. Trump $1,000 bill is being given away for free. There's only 71 left. All you have to do is click the link, "Pay Donald Trump some money, and you can be eligible for a fake Trump $1,000 bill." What the hell is going on? This, as you have Donald Trump's son-in-law, and Donald Trump's scumbag real estate friend from the 1980s in Manhattan, Steve Whitcoff. They're finally meeting with Zelinsky after they met with Putin by all accounts. The meeting with Putin, I mean, we all saw it. I mean, Whitcoff's like, "These are the memories that I'm going to take to my heart when I retire, and I'm going to tell everybody about it," Vladimir Putin. While Bloomberg reported this morning, Putin is not seeking a compromise piece deal at this stage. He wants an agreement that matches Russia's objectives, taking over mostly all of eastern Ukraine. According to the sources close to the Kremlin, Moscow's demands have become more aggressive because Russian leaders believe the battlefield situation is increasingly in their favor, as Donald Trump has deprived Zelinsky of interceptors and interceptor licenses. Great work. Great work, Donald. Great work, Whitcoff. Great work, Donald Trump's loser-son-in-law, Jared Kushner. And then this morning, Netanyahu says, "The regime in Iran, its end is dear. It is weak. It is fighting for its life. It is staggering. There is still a mission to complete that we are determined to carry out. This will ultimately change the face of the Middle East and the course of history." In other words, continuing to drag the Trump regime and the United States into never-ending wars that no American. We don't want to be in this war in the Middle East. We don't want trade wars with Canada. We just want, like healthcare, the ability to pay our rent and to afford homes. We want the ability just to live our lives without this freaking madness right now. But Donald Trump posting AI memes of Robert De Niro holding up a shirt. Trump is by president, sickening. Then Donald Trump has his boot-looking sycophants and his cabinet, like energy secretary Chris Wright. They go on the various shows this morning and writes like, "Thank God for President Trump's courage to take this on in Iran. We're grateful. We'll pay whatever it takes when it comes to gas. It's patriotic. We'll pay whatever it takes for gas and diesel." That's the American way. How are you talking about when we don't want any of this? We're taking what on? He's made things worse. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. I shared with everybody the Kepler data recently showing what four or five ships went through the Strait of Hormuz. That's it. Listen to what energy secretary Wright says. Thank God for President Trump. Sikos here play this clip. When in that battle, the United States Navy is there and it sounds like in order to keep even the current flow of oil and tankers through the Strait, the US Navy is going to have to stay there. Are you suggesting they're going to have to stay there indefinitely? I think we'll see a change in the Iranian regime or certainly a change in their policy. If they want to become a trading nation again and engage with the world, but they have not lightly given up their nuclear weapons program. Thank God for President Trump's courage to take this on. Then you had Democratic Congress member Jamie Raskin who was asked to meet the press. So if Democrats and when Democrats take control of the House of Representatives, will you be looking into impeachment? And Jamie Raskin says, of course, there's so many things though to focus on, though, because every day Donald Trump engages in multiple impeachable offensive dozens of impeachable offenses. The word impeachment doesn't even do justice, frankly, to the level of criminality that Donald Trump has engaged in. Donald Trump hates the United States of America. And every day him and his despicable regime quite literally work to kill people in the United States, to hurt our armed forces, to hurt our national security. Jamie Raskin, let's play it. Do you believe that President Trump has committed impeachable offenses at this point? Undoubtedly. We don't have time to remotely scratch the surface, but going to war without a declaration of war, for example, can continually define Congress in terms of our appropriation of money, stealing our spending power from us. I mean, I would say even just bulldozing the East Wing of the White House. If you can bulldoze the East Wing, you can bulldoze the West Wing. He believes that he is a king. They've been plundering money from our government in the most massively corrupt presidential administration in American history. I mean, his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, brought back billions of dollars from Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the other corrupt oil monarchies. They are engaged in all kinds of insider political trading, and Donald Trump has made more money in a year and a half as President of the United States than every other president in American history combined. And every member of the House and the Senate have made in our legitimate salaries in this Congress. So nothing comes close to the kind of plunder and corruption we've been seeing in this administration, and all of that could warrant an impeachment investigation if we wanted to do it. But more important to us right now is getting health care to the American people and ending the lawlessness. Okay, Congressman Jamie Raskin. Thank you so very much for being here. We really appreciate it. You bet. Thanks for having me. All right. And when we- Back to Donald Trump's boot-licking sycophantic energy secretary, Chris Wright. Chris Wright is asked on one of these morning shows. So you guys keep on saying there's 18 million barrels coming in and 20 million barrels of oil coming in and from the satellite footage, it seems that you're not telling the truth. So what's the real number? And then Wright's like, why would we be lying? What incentive do we have to lie? We're telling you all the truth. Trust us. We're telling you the truth. But notice what he says. I want you to pay attention to what he says. He goes, there's an average of nine million barrels a day leaving through the strait of Hormuz. Listen as he says that. And then I want to remind you of this. The other day Donald Trump claimed there were 18 million barrels per day going through the strait of Hormuz. Do you remember this graphic Donald Trump post? And then Trump's stenographer Barack Reveed back on August 22nd to manipulate the market said around 16 million barrels of oil moved out of the strait through the southern channel on Friday night. And then on August 28th, 2026, Barack Reveed spoke to Donald Trump and they said that this is what Trump was quoted as saying to Reveed. That sucker is open. The Iranian response is very mild. They don't want us to go back at them. That's the whole ball game. The rest doesn't matter. What we have to understand. And I know you know this by now. Every word sounds syllable anything out of the mouth of Trump and these cabinet members is a lie. I mean, every every it's it's a fake world that they make up. And it's a fake world that causes us all lots of harm with their lying here. Play this clip has this. It appears that Secretary Wright is adding up transfers over multiple days into a single day said Samir Mondani co-founder of tanker trackers.com. He jokingly calls it math magics. So why is there dispute about the data on what's actually getting through the strait at this point? It's it's funny to read or hear that stuff. We we know every ship the name of the ship what it's carrying, you know, in these convoys we're pushing. So we're not guessing we're not doing any crazy math. We're just reporting exactly what's going through the southern route through the strait of Hormuz. So we did indeed get just under 18 million barrels of crude in a 24 hour period earlier last week. And the running average right now is over 9 million barrels a day just on the waterborne routes. There's also the pipeline routes that are taken in another four or five. So these are just the facts. These are the numbers. They're not an opinion. There's no math magic. So maybe it's frustrating to the commercial organizations, but they just don't have the insider. They don't have the data. What's actually happening? But why would we be lying? Yeah. >> Well, you know, your critics will say that you want to portray the situation is better and the straight than it is, but it's true that you would have data that a lot of these organizations wouldn't, they say the proof will be in the pudding as we see the ripple through the markets. But then Chris Wright says either the Iranian regime comes to an end or the Trump regime will end the Iranian regime or our regime is going to change their policy. At least you're calling yourself a regime now because that's what the Trump regime is, a dictatorial authoritarian and frankly weak and pathetic regime here play this clip. >> So this is a losing game for Iran. We wish it would come to an end tomorrow. The Iranian regime, either the regime is going to change or this regime is going to change its policy. One of those two things is going to happen. >> So there are others in the region of Iran. >> But then Chris Wright has a message for all the American people out there. Why is the price of gas and diesel so high heading into Labor Day? Historic highs. It's Ukraine's fault. It's Biden's fault. That's what's really about Ukraine and Biden's policies not Donald Trump. Again, so utterly pathetic here playing this clip. >> So Diesel has been impacted by a lot of factors, but the single biggest one there has been the Ukrainian destruction of Russian refineries. Russia was a meaningful exporter of Diesel throughout the last several decades. Today they banned any exports of diesel. China has also dramatically throttled back exports of diesel. And in fact, Russia is importing gasoline where they have historically been a net exporter of that. So the refining market has become very tight. The Biden administration closed over a dozen refineries in the United States. Gavin Newsom in California closed two significant refineries just in the last 12 months. We of course are rowing in the opposite direction. >> And then Treasury Secretary Bessent attacks Canada in the oddest of ways comparing the United States to a German shepherd that bites a little dog. That's how they refer to Canada right now in the Trump regime. And you have Bessent who is just so obviously a just weak and pathetic and insecure person. And it is so strange. I don't even understand this act that he does here. Just watch Bessent for yourself. Let's play it. >> I want to talk about our neighbors to the North Canada. President Trump offered Prime Minister Carney what you say was a highly favorable trade agreement that Carney blew up at the last minute. Canada is expected to impose those retaliatory tariffs. How do you see all of this playing out? >> Well, Laura, the Ida German Shepherd and there was a Dockson that used to antagonize her at the playground. And it kind of reminds me of that. It kind of reminds me of that. And this little yippy dog that used to just like bark away. And for a long time, 110 pound German Shepherd was ignoring the Dockson. And then one day she'd had enough. And unfortunately, Prime Minister Carney did walk away. They were given the opportunity for a great trade deal. And they didn't want it. And it looks like it's for political reasons. But the U.S., it is not much of a hit to us if any. If any, because you know, we're hearing all these stories inflation that it is negligible. I would like someone to show me the statistical significance of these the Canadian tariffs on U.S. prices. And I'm happy to debate them. >> Yeah. So then M.B. Galibov-Aran's parliament leader continues to post these memes of Wiley Coyote, as Bessent going off the cliff, chasing the road runner, and then posting all of the data points about how the United States is quite literally already basically off the cliff. And we're in for a really difficult September, October, November, as our strategic reserves have hit tank bottom as the bond markets are going to continue to get way worse. And inflation is continuing to search. It's why it's important that we have a good media diet. And we understand what's going on in the world right now. I'll give you an example right now. An article that just came out. U.S. structured Venezuelan oil position to protect it from dilution, officials say. In other words, this so-called 65 billion barrel oil deal that Donald Trump struck with the authoritarian leader of Venezuela, Delce Rodriguez. It was done with four dimensional chests and the Trump regime structured it so the U.S. position would not be diluted within the deal, great deal makers. As I've gone over and over again, the 65 billion barrels of potential oil in Venezuela, first off, it's hypothetical and potential. It's tarry, viscous, sour oil that's not easy to refine. The earliest you'd be able to refine it is decades, maybe slightly less, but it's going to take a long period to refine. Nobody actually really wants to invest serious capital in the Venezuelan with the Delce Rodriguez regime. And there are all these other issues associated with it. Not to mention the Trump regime creating a Trump oil company within Pete Heggsett's defense department, which in a future administration is going to be invalid. It's also the height of Trump and they all fear monger about communism. You created a state-owned oil company within the defense department because private industry wasn't making the investment in Venezuela. So the whole thing, the whole thing is a sham. They did the deal with this guy named Ali Andre Bentecourt, a bullichico from Venezuela who was under investigation there for money laundering and all of these things, which he denies. But he was the guy in charge of the electricity grid there and the electricity grid in Venezuela is not doing great. And the people in Venezuela continue to suffer right now and they are not doing good and they are rolling black. I could go on and on and on and on. But right wing media is really pushing this story now. Look at this great deal to you. They're still pushing it. There's like zero coverage and left wing media. Very little coverage from so-called center media. But the right wing keeps pushing the Venezuela deal. Why? Hope is right around the corner. Just you wait. Hope is coming. You're going to be rich in just a little bit. This is what the Trump regime does. By the way, this is why I partner with ground news for this episode because they're the best tool for me to stay objective with my reporting. So I can see stories like that and I can see the different version of events that are being reported by different media. So I can decide how I'm going to cover the news each morning. For every story, they have this color coded layout, which makes it easy to see the political bias of each of its source. And again, it helps to be stay objective. You can compare the reporting on the same issue to come to your own conclusions based on the facts. You could also see if a source is independently owned or from a corporate conglomerate. Ground news has this dedicated blind spot feed, a personal favorite of mine, which highlights stories being disproportionately covered on either side of the political aisle. I believe in ground news so much. We're going to offer 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.news/mtn or scan the QR code up here. It's one of the biggest discounts they've offered. If you want to support this channel and get a clearer understanding of the world, try out ground news that's ground.news/mtn. I'm just reflecting on it again though. With Kushner and Whitcoff finally meeting Zalinsky in Ukraine, you have Putin saying there's no chance at all that there's ever going to be any type of peace deal. You saw the video I did this morning where Putin struck even harder in Ukraine, not in Kiev, but in the surrounding areas were hit very hard to also send that message. Putin sees this Trump regime as utterly weak. Of course he would. You saw Whitcoff show up and the way Whitcoff behaved when he was in the Kremlin. It was so disgusting. Back to some of these Trump bootlicking sycophants this morning. You have Chris Wright saying we're not stealing the oil from Venezuela. I don't know why anybody would. It's not like we it's not like we are taking this oil at gunpoint. Another thing we should know too. There's apparently and we've done apparently there is a bank account, a Trump bank account in Qatar. That's the bank account that's received the money that has been made on the Venezuelan oil. It doesn't go into the United States to our Treasury Department. It goes to a Trump bank account in Qatar. Can we talk about that for a moment please? We'll add that to the list of impeachable offenses or just outright criminality. Could you imagine if Obama had a secret? Katari bank account? Wasn't it not secret? A Katari bank account where the money's going into and not the Treasury after engaging in this behavior. It's sickening. Listen to Chris Wright say over here. We're not stealing their oil at gunpoint and play this clip. So this is a home run. The Senator saying we're stealing their oil at gunpoint. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the more oil that's produced in Venezuela, including with the deal with the US government, the more the more royalties and tax revenues go to the Venezuelan government and the Venezuelan people. If you have resources deep underground and they've been sitting there for millions of years, years, they don't bring any benefit. They only bring [BLANK_AUDIO] benefit when capital and they're extracted brought to the surface refined and made to better the lives of Venezuelans, Americans, and the whole Western hemisphere. Then Chris Wright says, do not trust any of my predictions when it comes to whether or not the price of oil is going to go lower anymore. He goes, yeah, I would just trust the markets. Don't trust my predictions even though he was the one telling us that we were going to have what $3 gas soon and $2 gas soon. OK, here play this clip. Well, if you look at the futures prices, you want to divide today in bulk gasoline for two months out in November. It's about 35 cents cheaper than it is today. So the marketplace thinks gasoline prices are going to move meaningfully lower. So trust the market. Certainly don't trust my predictions. But we're doing everything we can to grow the production of gasoline. As we pass Labor Day tomorrow, you start to see demand decline as we move out of summer driving season. So the Trump administration is leaning in heavily in that area. And Venezuela, I wouldn't discount it. Things there are going well ahead of plan. Venezuela oil exports are up 50%. Their total national production is up 25%. And billions of dollars of new investment has been announced. And then he finally confirms that a country or company is not able to send any ships through the straight of hormones safely without the United States help here. Play this clip for yourself. So sort of what's unsaid in this discussion so far is that it's just it's not safe. The New York Times also says August was the deadliest month for merchants in the straight of hormones since March. Can you unequivocally say that ships that want to transit through the straight of hormones can do so safely? We're working cooperatively with fleets that do want to transit. Some ships aren't transiting, and of course that's their choice. But the United States is working with teams from all of the nations in the Gulf to get transits and to continue to ramp them up. Iranian ships, of course, are not transiting at all. That's a ticking time bomb for the economy of Iran. But you're not saying that it's currently safe. We're getting a lot of ships through, but of course it requires the US military to do that. We're not tree conflict levels. If that's what you're asking, Dana. Well, I'm just asking if, yeah, I mean, pre-conflict levels or just bottom line if a country or a company wants to send its tanker through the straight of hormones can they do so safely? Well, if they want to work with the United States Navy, I think they can. But look, we're trying to end a 47-year conflict. There you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to seven million subscribers. Thanks for watching. Appreciate y'all. Before you go, our book WTF America is available for pre-order now.
