Trump Has Catastrophic Thursday as It Gets Worse…

The transcript blends financial advice with sharp political criticism, centering on Wise as a transparent alternative for international money transfers, emphasizing real exchange rates to avoid hidden fees. It then shifts to a critical examination of Donald Trump’s political rhetoric and actions, exposing inconsistencies in his claims about Iran, oil prices, and military conduct. The discussion highlights how Trump misrepresents geopolitical events—such as falsely claiming Iran killed 70,000 protesters and blaming Ukraine for oil price spikes—while ignoring actual factors like increased oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s escalation, including new drone technology and threats to U.S. bases, is presented as a legitimate response to U.S. maritime provocations. The narrative also critiques broader U.S. leadership failures, such as breaking a historically significant artifact and ignoring legal obligations in depositions. It calls for accountability, warns against reckless regime-change rhetoric without considering human and economic costs, and underscores Ukraine’s frustration with being unfairly blamed. The piece concludes with a broader critique of political incompetence and misinformation, framing the current global situation as a result of poor leadership and a lack of strategic foresight. A side note promotes miracle-made antibacterial sheets as a product with health benefits and a sweepstakes incentive.

A disastrous Thursday morning for Donald Trump. The price of Brent crude has now exceeded $112.00 of barrel. So naturally, Donald Trump is ranting and raving like a lunatic on social media because he doesn't know how to lead. Here's what he posted. Iran is doing everything they can to drive up the price of oil prior to the U.S. midterm election. They are even making up fake hits, mines, and everything else. Because more oil is coming through the Hormuz straight now, then it did even prior to the beginning of the conflict. Pause right there. Oh yes. More oil is coming up. The war has helped more oil get out of the street of Hormuz. And so that's why the price of oil is so low. Oh wait, no, that doesn't make any sense at all. It's like, do you just think we're the stupidest people imaginable? You know, we're not all like the people at those rallies that you hold where you just make weird noises now as part of what appears to be more aggressive dementia in my opinion, where you just say, uh, the governor of South, I digress, he goes on to say they continue to kill protesters referring to Iran and anyone else that happens to be in their way, it is truly an evil regime. And I can only hope the American public and the world understands how evil they are. 70,000 protesters lie dead in less than seven months. Pause there. He's just making up numbers now. First, they said it was 12,000 protesters back in January who were killed by Iran and the IRGC. Then they said it was 30,000 and they said it was 50,000. Then they said it was 60,000. Then they said it's 75,000. It's just what Trump does with everything. One trillion, 10 trillion, 22 trillion. And then so you have to now call into question, what really actually happened back in January during those protests in Iran where the president of the United States so easily lies about the death number, who lies about death numbers like that Donald Trump does. He goes on to say it is shocking how the world and the Democrat party seem not to care. Then he puts this in caps. Iran can never have a nuclear weapon and they will never have a nuclear weapon. Donald J Trump, no, you should have a strategic plan, okay? Not making social media posts. Shouldn't have been involved in the catastrophic war in the first place. But what you're doing, I mean, even the neocon war hawks who love war, who I think are despicable people. This is it. This is what you wanted. Someone doing social media trolling and lying on social media posts. It's so freaking weak. Then Donald Trump writes, the Wall Street Journal says more oil is now coming out of the Persian Gulf. Then before the Iran War, great, Donald. Then why is the price of Brent crude $112 a barrel? Why are we all continuing to pay record high prices for gas and diesel? I don't know. Maybe because that's not true. Yerika, maybe because in the past 12 hours, the IRGC Navy struck four ships that were doing ship-to-ship transfers of oil cargo for an American company in the North Central Persian Gulf that used illegal routes as defined by the IRGC. These ships were struck and caught on fire. Three other ships violating Iran's purported maritime regulations were struck by mines west of the Strait of Hormuz, causing fires that brought them to a halt. Seven ships being struck in the past 12 hours. But you know what you want to post about? Culture war issues, LeBron James and the National Anthem. By the way, we do a whole chapter in WTF America. The book I wrote with my brothers on this because I was Colin Kaepernick's lawyer against the NFL. So I represented Colin when Donald Trump said, get the SOB off the field back in Huntsville, Alabama. I was represented Colin at that time. His playbook is so basic and so weak, Trump's. So he posts, while listening to our National Anthem, LeBron James disrespects our country. I said right from the beginning that he's no good, that he's a total disgrace. LeBron James should apologize to all those great American warriors and heroes who died for the American flag and that all our country stands for. Donald J. Trump, what you covering up child sex trafficking rings with the Epstein files, you getting us involved in catastrophic wars abroad, spending our taxpayer dollars and sending it to Netanyahu. So you both are blowing up elementary schools and hospitals versus building schools and hospitals and infrastructure here in the United States. You sending our troops into harm's way with no plan at all. And then you say LeBron James should apologize to our troops. No, you should be in prison as a war criminal and try it in the Hague. Donald Trump last night, people are still trying to wrap their heads around what the hell was this when Trump was trying to describe Nikki Haley and then he just said, you're playing this clip. You know, he was a lieutenant governor and I'd say 90% of the reason I took the governor. I took the governor, I put her over at the United Nations because I wanted this guy to be, I wanted this guy to become governor. I just had to show that again because, you know, when you see what in my opinion is rapidly accelerating dementia, rapidly accelerating cognitive and physical ailments right before our very eyes, you see his homosexual disinhibition where he keeps on blurding out how attracted he is to men. There's actually a scientific explanation for the homosexual disinhibition that he's experiencing. There's also an explanation for the blurding out when people are suffering from late stage dementia. Did you notice that he was even surprised that he made that noise? It's uncontrollable. It's uncontrollable that behavior at this point and it's getting worse and worse by the day as he rots in front of our eyes and he looks like death. You have the following as well being reported smoke rising from Saudi Arabia's Aramco refinery following a possible Houthi strike in Riyadh. Other Aramco facilities have basically been evacuated in nearby cities. What is JD Van saying? JD Van's who, no one on the Bengals, Cincinnati Bengals even wanted to say, hello to yesterday as I shared with you on that video earlier. JD Van's was asked about starlink and star shield being throttled with respect to Ukraine using its drones and connecting to star shield and starlink. JD Van says, you know what Elon Musk, he runs a private company. I can't control that. It's like a private corporation. This isn't the US government doesn't get involved in private corporations. You're saying that star shield, which is military base and starlink, which gets government contracts that the United States with Trump and Musk linked at the hip have nothing to do with the decision to throttle Ukrainian drone speeds into Russia and drone interceptors. Here's what he says, play this clip. Well, I think that fundamentally Elon Musk runs a private corporation and I think it's completely understandable that he doesn't want to get in the middle of what is a war between two state actors without the United States government effectively directing him on what to do. So I don't think that's about Elon. I think it's fundamentally what is America's policy in Ukraine to Russia going to be as I just said earlier, I think we're working on some renewed negotiations. Then JD Van's is asked, but you know, we're hearing Zelensky say multiple times that he wants the ceasefire, but Russia says they don't want the ceasefire. They want an end to everything, which will only be accomplished in Russia's mind when they control all of eastern Ukraine. So don't you see that one side saying they want the ceasefire and the other side says they don't. They just want all of eastern Ukraine to be part of Russia. Here's what he says here. Play this clip. Let's see what Bob is saying that if he's talking to a underway resumed with Russia, Ukraine now has agreed multiple times to come to table. Russia has not. So what gives you confidence that this time will be different? Well, I think both countries have agreed to come to the table. The reason why we haven't struck a piece deals because they've just been too apart on some of the details of that negotiation. So I think Steve re-engaged the process. Obviously spoke with both the Russian and Ukrainian leadership over the past couple of days. He feels optimistic. Here's a gross fact. Traditional bedsheets can hold more bacteria than a toilet seat.

And again, as the U.S. continues to show utter and pathetic weakness, here's what Iran was doing this morning. They unveiled their new drone, the Arosh 3 drone, the chief commander of the Army during a teaser video to showcase Iran's expanded and robust underground drone production site. Showcase for the first time, the Arosh 3 and upgrade of the Arosh 2 goes faster, carries more explosives. Take a look at it right here. Also Iran issued this warning, threatening to strike U.S. bases across the Middle East. If U.S. maritime provocations continue, the IRGC Navy accused the Trump regime of directing ships into these unauthorized routes by Oman, which Iran has to continue to strike ship after ship after ship after ship. And they said, "You keep on doing this. We are going to strike more military bases in the region, which have already been pretty much obliterated." And by the way, a federal judge was not buying Donald Trump's excuse about why he couldn't attend a deposition in the $10 billion lawsuit that he filed against the BBC. Trump said the BBC defamed him, he filed the lawsuit a while back. They noticed his deposition and the deposition of Jared Kushner, who tried to avoid it with secret service blocking the deposition service, same thing with Ivanka and Don Jr. They've been ordered at this point, they're going to have to sit for a deposition. Donald Trump said, "Look, I'm so busy with the Iran War and national security. You can't videotape me in a deposition. I can sit for depositions." You sued in your personal capacity, Donald, and a federal judge said, "No. You need to sit for your deposition with the BBC. It'll be a normal deposition or don't file the lawsuit or withdraw your $10 billion lawsuit, Donald." And the last time Trump said national security is their reason. He was doing something with Iran, super secret. No, you were in Dalton at the municipal airport holding one of your deranged rallies and then you did a MAGA PAC event that night at Mar-a-Lago. No one's buying this. And it's this level of weakness and incompetence in freaking everything. I'll give you another example. In the swing of things, this story doesn't sound major, but it is. If you just think about, it's so reflective of how pathetic the Trump regime is and everything. So Washington Post reported this morning, "Defense Secretary Pete Hegsiff wanted a historic World War II era globe associated with Dwight D. Eisenhower moved to his Pentagon office. So on February 3rd, his staff tried moving it without professional curators, without actual movers who were furloughed during a government shutdown, then Hegsiff staff dropped the globe, puncturing its shell, and breaking its rotating mount. The damage artifact was never relocated, and they just destroyed Dwight D. Eisenhower's World War II era globe." Now if you can't move the globe from point A to point B, which shouldn't have been moved in the first place, then you are not going to exactly instill confidence regarding the straight of hormones, and war, and peace, and dealing with any of these issues. This highlights the vanity I need Dwight D. Eisenhower's globe in my office. And then the fact that they fired so many people in the government that they had no one to even work for them, and then their people, their students, dropped it and broke it. It's so encapsulated, so symbolic of just how despicable this Trump regime is. You also had Netanyahu this morning. I concluded the only conceivable solution here is regime change. Just as the Allies destroyed the Nazi regime, the only way to stop these Iranian Nazis, the Iran Nazis is to eliminate the regime, overthrow the regime. We need regime change. You're not getting rid, there's no regime, it's not happening. That's not happening. The lesson from this war is not if you bomb more, there's going to be regime change, okay? And if you're talking about regime change, then speak about the cost of it. Obviously, I do not support this. We should not be involved in this catastrophic war. I believe Netanyahu is a genocidal maniac who should also be tried in the hagg. But then let's be very clear, Donald Trump, Netanyahu, rather than your social media posts or Netanyahu dancing video that he posted of him and Trump AI, explain that it will cost a million American lives and there really won't end up being regime change. Explain that it'll cost a million lives of American service members, that there will have to be a draft and all of our resources, there will be catastrophic economic depression. So before you so freaking cavalierly talk about regime change in Iran, talk about what it means for the world, for the United States of America, for also people in Iran and for people everywhere. But oh, regime change, regime change. It's just these freaking lunatics are destroying the world for all of us when we're just trying to live normal lives with our families, have hobbies, just go about our day and the Trumps and the Netanyahus and these sickos all they want to do is inflict pain and suffering and it freaking pisses me off. Look at what Peter Teal said this morning, even Peter Teal said, I'm skeptical of the Iran war. I think we should not have done it. He said during a lecture that just took place this month, there were a lot of mistakes that were made. Do you support this? This is your crew, man. Now you're going to do the, oh, I think it was a big mistake. I think it was a big mistake. Finally, let me show you what Zelensky was saying this morning. He goes, you know, the way Trump talks about me, maybe he should also talk about Putin that way here. Play this clip. Because he needs to the way he talks about me, present Trump. He needs to adapt that kind of rhetoric about Putin. Why do you think he's not, I don't know, honestly, I don't know. He's got sanctions on his desk. It wasn't him voting. Congress voted for strong sanctions. He can do it. I don't know why. Maybe they have a special relationship. Maybe something else. I can't tell you. I don't know everything. I can only guess some economic deals and so on. And more from Zelensky saying, okay, you're trying to blame me for the price of oil, really? You don't think it's because of your catastrophic war in Iran. You think it's, you think it's what I'm doing? Really? Here, play this clip. And I don't understand. I have a good relationship with him with Trump. And I think it's wrong and unacceptable that he pins Russia's aggression and Russia's killings on me. He is shifting the context. And that's not fair. And that's why I honestly said, that's unfair. Seize fire. He says, they can't work it out. Well, if you can't work it out, but you need diesel, though, again, I think this is just deflecting the focus away from Iran, from what's happening in the Middle East. The entire volume is blocked over there. That's exactly where nothing is working out. The energy, the straight of Hormuz is blocked. That's the root of the problem. But everything gets shifted on to us and I made the target as the leader of our country. There you have it, everybody. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Oh, did you get WTF America?
