Trump Has BREAKDOWN As He Realizes He LOST

Donald Trump’s speech delivered before the midterm elections is widely criticized as incoherent, disorganized, and factually incorrect. The transcript reveals a president appearing mentally and emotionally unsteady, with a speech filled with baseless claims, such as renaming the reflecting pool after himself and asserting ownership of Greenland—both of which are factually false. He repeatedly references vandalism at the reflecting pool, citing a Fox News source, yet no prosecutions have occurred, and damage is attributed to a botched construction project. The speech also includes wild claims about a planned military arch and a major renovation of the Potomac golf course, which violates court orders and lacks public demand. Trump has already declared the Alaska Senate race fraudulent before votes are counted, a pattern seen in past election claims. Legal challenges to these actions have been dismissed by courts, highlighting the lack of legitimacy in his arguments. The speech illustrates a campaign lacking a coherent message, instead relying on outlandish narratives and political theatrics. This absence of substance, combined with repeated legal violations, signals a significant loss of credibility and public trust, particularly amid ongoing concerns about corruption, affordability, and election integrity. The broader implication is that Trump’s messaging fails to address real voter concerns, contributing to the Republican Party’s poor performance in the midterms.

So this right here on your screen is a real photo of Donald Trump from earlier today after he delivered remarks in front of the reflecting pool that was essentially his closing argument to the American people before the upcoming midterm elections. And I think the photo really tells you everything you need to know about Trump and about what's going to happen tomorrow. He looks disheveled, he looks out of it. Of course, his mental decline is very rapid, very real. And this photo just encapsulates all of that. His hair is a complete mess. And that is a good representation of the Trump administration. And this speech wasn't any better. I mean, he got into it and started rambling incoherently. And I just think it's so fascinating that he chose the reflecting pool to be the location to give the closing argument because he's like standing in front of this project that he wasted all of our taxpayer money on, a bunch of it at least, that completely got botched, it got backfired. And he thinks it's like a good thing to highlight for his administration. So I want to show you some clips from the speech he gave today. We'll talk about all of it. Please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment, let me know what you think about this story. Your support in my midterm coverage has been fantastic. And I appreciate every single one of you. I can't say it enough, but let's get into it. Let's start with this one where Donald Trump was flexing the idea that he's had now, his new idea, which is changing the name of the reflecting pool to the Trump reflecting pool. That's his new thing. He's of course, renamed bodies of water. He renamed the Gulf of Mexico. And now I guess he wants to rename the reflecting pool after himself. Just watch. I am thrilled. I'm thrilled to announce the official opening of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Now we're giving serious thought to changing the name to the Trump Reflecting Pool. We'll announce that sometime tomorrow. I'm sure that Secretary Doug Burgum will have a lot of fun in announcing that now. I'm only kidding. I'm only kidding. Please don't report it. Just. Cut it off and they'll say, yeah, he's changing the name now. So I didn't cut it off, but I don't think you need to cut it off because he's almost certainly considering this. I mean, you know, he's like, don't report it. How outrageous of you to assume that I'm being truthful here. And it's something I'm actually considering. But remember, he has wanted to, he's actually put his name on the Kennedy Center, had to take the name off, threatened to destroy the building unless his name was placed on the building. He wants to rename the ballroom after him that he's building. He has tried to rename bodies of water. He wants to rename the building. He wants to rename the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean after him. So this is well within something that Donald Trump would realistically do. Would not surprise me even a little bit. Then he goes on to talk about the alleged vandalism that took place at the reflecting pool. His source is Jesse Waters. So when a Fox News host is your source for major, you know, vandalism taking place, probably not a good case to make. We opened it quickly and there was great vandalism with slashing. We have pictures of it. We have photographs of it. And in fact, I must say Jesse Waters of Fox did a whole long piece on it. And it was sad to watch because the vandals really went to town. A lot of people tried to protect the vandals. But we. Okay. Now, of course, nobody has been prosecuted for this. So Donald Trump, you know, has continued to say, we have all this photos, these videos of these people doing this. It's a confirmed case. They vandalized the reflecting pool and they did it to be mean to me. But every time that Donald Trump has attempted to prosecute somebody for vandalizing the reflecting pool, it has backfired. Judges have thrown it out. I mean, his own DOJ admitted that the damage at the reflecting pool, the coating peeling off and then floating in the water was not because of vandals, but was rather because of a botched job. The contractors that Donald Trump hired that he said were great. They were all wearing MAGA hats as they were doing the project. Yeah, they botched it. It was botched. That's what happened. And Donald Trump continues to deny that he then moves on and seems kind of resigned to losing the midterms. Quote, For some reason, the sitting president.

For some reason, the sitting president doesn't win the midterms, but we gave this a very strong shot. Yeah, I bet Republicans are feeling really good after that one. All of these candidates and campaigns that have tied themselves to Donald Trump, some of them have run away, but many of them have still continued to back Donald Trump and support his administration, tie themselves to his policies. I bet they're feeling really good after the. The president's just like, well, we gave it a good shot. You know what I mean? He seems pretty resigned to losing. But of course, the reality is, even if Donald Trump is like up there saying, hey, I think we're going to lose, you know, he's already starting with the election shenanigans. He's trying to target ballots in California, have them withheld. He's trying to target the election in Alaska, trying to invalidate the results before anybody's vote has even been counted. I mean, he's obviously trying to do something, and it wouldn't surprise me if tomorrow we see him try to do something or he's just like, you know, spouting random stuff on social media. But he seems kind of depressed, which isn't a good day in the United States of America. Please go out and vote. I'm voting tomorrow on Election Day. I can't wait. He also went on to brag about Greenland. This is his closing message for the American people. The number one issues for Americans in poll after poll has been corruption, affordability, gas prices, grocery prices, things of that nature. And Donald Trump, in his speech, his pitch to the Americans to say, this is why you should vote for me, is bragging about owning Greenland. When you add the United States and Venezuela. And then you add Greenland, if you'd like, because we also have Greenland now. We worked out a great deal. We want to thank Denmark and Europe for making that possible. But, you know, when you heard, oh, Greenland, you're not. Well, it was very vital to us. We got Greenland on an unlimited basis. But when you add. What the hell is he talking? We have Greenland on an unlimited basis. He is just spouting. Random crap. He is spiraling out of control. And I think this speech is a really good representation of his campaign messaging, his midterm messaging. He's never been able to land on one thing because there isn't anything to land on. You know, Democrats have been hammering home corruption, hammering home affordability, because those are real things that Americans are experiencing every single day. Republicans and Donald Trump have jumped from, you know, it's the communists who want to take over the country. They've also said jihadists and things like that. They've tried to bring back, you know, trans people. People in sports. And I don't really think anybody's buying that. And now he's talking about owning Greenland. They don't have a campaign message, which is probably why they're doing so badly. And they're going to continue to do so badly. I just cannot wait for tomorrow. Now, to be clear, I feel like I don't need to say this, but the United States does not own Greenland. We don't. It's not even close. So he's just straight up there lying. You know, this deal is basically a continuation of what we already had, where there would be cooperation between the United States and Greenland on a mineral deal, on military bases and things like that. But other than that. We do not own Greenland. Speaking of, you know, his behavior in regards to elections, he's also saying that before the election has even happened, that Alaska, the Senate race, they are very important Senate race. Everybody should vote for Mary Peltola if you are from Alaska. But he is calling it fraudulent already. It hasn't even happened yet. So we got somebody named Dan Sullivan to run against Dan Sullivan and hoping that and it would it would do that, which was corrupt. It's it's really a fraud, fraudulent election. We've achieved more in less than two years than any administration in American history. That's how, you know, Donald Trump is feeling really good about what's going to happen tomorrow and the days after his votes are counted in a place like Alaska, where it does take a little bit more time because of, you know, the nature of the state and the geography there. But that's that's how, you know, Donald Trump is feeling good. He's already calling it fraudulent. It reminds me of the 2024 election night. Now, Donald Trump won that election. But on election night, when Pennsylvania was looking good for Kamala Harris at one point, he was already tweeting that, hey, Pennsylvania is rigged. We're getting reports of fraudulent votes. And then he won Pennsylvania. And then all of the reports of fraud apparently disappeared. But that's what he tried then. And he seems like he's kind of trying to pull that same trick now. Now, of course, a judge has tossed Donald Trump's to block, excuse me, Donald Trump's attempt to block the race. He tried to file this lawsuit to invalidate the election. The judge was like, what on earth are you possibly doing? How could you make this argument? It's so dumb. And they tossed the lawsuit altogether. Donald Trump later in this speech decided to brag about the arch that he wants to build. So he's in front of the reflecting pool. He's bragging about the reflecting pool, which has been a total disaster. He's bragging about the ballroom. And now he's bragging about the arch that he wants to build that nobody is asking for. Literally, nobody is asking for him to build an arch. And he's bragging about it. He's like, this is going to be great. You know, everybody wants this. I just want to add, we're working with Doug and the group very hard. We're going for a final approval of the triumphal arc military complex. And that's in the circle. By Arlington Bridge, it's it's spectacular. It will be more beautiful and to me, the most beautiful arc. Fifty nine cities have them. The most beautiful arc to me is the one in Paris. It's called the Arc de Triomphe, and we will be doing this. The the triumphal arc military complex is going to have tremendous drone capability. Okay, who's asking for this? Who does this benefit? cannot believe that his closing message to the American people is, Hey, look at the reflecting pool that I spent your money on and botched. And also guess what? I'm building an arch and it's going to have snipers and it's going to have drones. It sounds like he's creating a comic book in his head, like a superhero comic book, except he is the super villain. Um, but like, who is asking for this? Who wants this? Nobody else wants this except him, which really tells you everything you need to know. He then goes on to rant about his Potomac golf course that he's trying to redo. This has been a major legal battle because his administration has already started to work on the golf course renovated, despite judges telling him, don't do that. This is a public golf course that he wants to make into a, essentially a private club for him and his wealthy buddies. And this is what he said about it during the speech. Go from 250 to 500 statues. It'll be incredible. It's on about 45 acres, Freddie, right on the Potomac. And right next to that, we're doing a renovation of the golf course, which is in a horrible condition. Very dangerous and horrible condition. The walls are caving in. The whole thing is a mess. And we're doing a renovation of the golf course and we're going to make it a world championship course for the U S open for the PGA championship for the Ryder cup president's cup. It'll be, uh, in shape to play that on one day's notice, it's going to be built to the highest standards, standards of golf. I really, I, you know, I've been in politics for like, it feels like a long time. Now I'm only 24, but I've been like following it closely since I was, you know, 14 or 15 years old. So all the way back to the 2016 election. Um, but throughout my studies of politics, I have never seen somebody make a worse closing argument than this. I I'm actually stunned because, you know, the Republicans, they pay all these comms people to give them messaging ideas. And so you'd think that the president of the United States one day before would just listen to the people he's giving, you know, tens of millions of dollars to, to shape his messaging. He's not, he's like vote for me. And Republicans, because we're building a golf course in DC, that's going to hold the Ryder cup. Does it get worse than this? By the way, just a quick update here. A judge has opened an inquiry into whether Trump officials misled courts in the DC golf course case. So he was cutting down these trees. They said that they weren't cutting down the trees. They were cutting down the trees. And a judge has really read them their Miranda rights per se, not literally, but in court kind of being like, what the hell are you guys doing? This is insane. Like you're defying court orders. You're defying me. And, uh, there's now an inquiry into, whether Donald Trump and his team misled the courts. I would say that probably they did, but we'll see. So this whole golf course thing that he's bragging about is not really going to go to plan for him. And as Aaron Ruppar pointed out during this press conference, um, the Trump event has gone on for so long that CNN, MSNOW, Newsmax, and Fox news have all cut away at various points. Doug Burgum is now rambling at the mic. He and Trump have been freestyling for 45 minutes and counting all of these major networks, including right-wing networks, networks that Donald Trump loves. It's been a long time that he promotes on line, uh, cutting away from his speech because of how bad it was. So look, I will leave the video there. I just am baffled at what we saw today from Donald Trump. Thank you so much for watching. Please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video comment.
