Donald Trump is facing a severe political and internal crisis following historic Republican losses in the midterms. He is aggressively blaming voters and Democrats for the defeats, despite factual inaccuracies—such as linking the stock market drop to political outcomes—while ignoring the real causes like the AI bubble. His family, including Donald Trump Jr., has publicly criticized his Iran war policies and broken campaign promises, highlighting widespread unpopularity. The war in Iran is seen as a major factor in voter disillusionment, with rising gas prices and policy failures undermining support. Key allies, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, face bipartisan impeachment threats and pressure to resign, while J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio are reportedly planning to step down to build independent presidential campaigns. This internal disintegration signals a deep crisis within the Trump administration, where leadership is fracturing, public trust is collapsing, and political power is being stripped away. Trump’s only current activity is social media ranting, with no real legislative or policy engagement. The situation reflects a broader decline in trust and effectiveness, with Democrats preparing investigations and Republicans increasingly alienated by past decisions. The fallout suggests a turning point in American politics, where Trump’s influence and the integrity of his administration are being fundamentally challenged.
It seems like Donald Trump is having a very difficult time coping with the destruction
that Republicans just suffered in the midterm elections because last night he was ranting
on social media again, blaming other people, blaming the American people for his loss in
this unhinged social media rampage that he went on.
I want to talk about that and more because things are just not generally looking very
good for Donald Trump.
Let me show you some of these posts first and foremost.
So earlier in the evening at 6 18 PM, Donald Trump posted this, the stock market suffered
one of the worst days in history based on the results of the election, which is just
not true whatsoever.
Such a sad thing to watch.
It took so much work to get us to a level that no one's ever seen before.
And then this, your 401ks have therefore dropped.
Remember, it wasn't Republicans.
It was Democrats.
Do not fear.
However, we will soon one way or another be bigger and stronger than ever before.
Make America great again.
So he's trying to say the stock market drop is because of the Democrats winning, which
really just couldn't be further from the truth.
It was a somewhat downturn.
Maybe it's not correct.
It's just a general downturn in the markets because the AI bubble that I think a lot of
people recognize exists in this market is kind of beginning to pop.
A lot of companies are laying off their employees even before the midterms because they invested
so heavily in AI and it's just really not, it's really not panning out.
So that's the real reason.
That's what financial analysts are saying.
But Donald Trump is trying to turn this into a political talking point.
And it's just one day.
I mean, you know, historically the market continues to grow.
It has ups and downs.
I mean, you know, he's just playing stupid.
He's just playing stupid.
He also added this later in the evening.
The stock market crashed today because the Democrats had a big Tuesday.
So sad to see you only have yourselves to blame.
He is directly blaming the American people because they're upset with the Iran war, with
tariffs, with high prices, with high gas prices, with the Epstein files being covered up.
He can't possibly fathom the idea that people are upset with him and his administration.
And so he's putting the blame on the American people for his failures.
It's disgusting.
He continues to talk down to people.
And think that he is holier than thou, which really just couldn't be further from the truth.
He also said this almost immediately after.
Once again, trying to point fingers at anybody except somebody named Donald J. Trump.
He said, quote, I just wasn't on the ballot.
If I were, we would have won in a landslide.
Absolutely not.
I actually think if Donald Trump was on the ballot, things would have gotten worse for Republicans.
If you can even believe it.
Maybe Democrats would have 60 Senate seats.
Maybe we'd have 300 House seats.
I don't know.
But what I do know is that Donald Trump is hysterical.
Historically unpopular because of things like the Iran war.
Matter of fact, it's gotten so bad that Donald Trump's own family members.
And I was shocked when I saw this.
Donald Trump's own family members are calling out his failures.
Calling out his lies.
Even Donald Trump Jr. on his podcast, which like why on earth does Donald Trump Jr.
Have a podcast of, you know, the many people in the Trump family.
He's up there in terms of people who absolutely do not need a podcast.
But he said this.
Whether you think it was the right decision or not.
The Iran war is largely what shifted.
Voter sentiment and cause this.
Wow.
It jacked up the price of gas and it changed their minds.
We also campaigned on not getting into these type of things.
So two major points there.
Number one, Donald Trump Jr.
Is acknowledging that gas prices went up.
I mean, it is a matter of fact, you know, it's asking like is two plus two equals four.
Yes.
Did gas prices go up as a result of the Iran war?
Yes.
It's a matter of fact.
So, but that's something that Donald Trump struggled to acknowledge or really never did.
He said, no, no, no.
The gas prices aren't.
They're going to come crashing down.
It's all good.
Nobody worry about it.
It's perfectly fine, which it never was perfectly fine.
So it's interesting that he's acknowledging that.
But also he's saying like, yeah, we kind of broke a campaign promise.
We campaigned on not getting into these things directly calling out his father for breaking
a campaign promise.
You'd think that all of these different Republicans calling out Trump would make him think twice
about what he's doing.
Maybe he'd think twice about saying, you know, if I was on the ballot, we would have won
or maybe he'd think twice.
Blaming the voters.
But he's not doing that because yesterday in a press conference, when he was asked about
Iran and speaking about it generally, he doubled down saying, you know, maybe I'm going to
have to destroy the entire country.
And it was over.
It was a violent attack.
And in Iran, we are there for seven months and we control everything that we've wanted
to control.
And now we'll make a decision.
Do we want to go further and just certify it by certifying it?
Meaning where?
It'll never happen again.
I think it'll take them 25 years to rebuild the country.
I would rather not destroy the rest of the country if possible, but maybe I'll have to.
You'll know soon enough.
And Mr. President, on Republican. Wow.
They just lost.
They just lost in historic fashion with the Iran war really being one of the big reasons
as to why they did lose.
Broken campaign promise, one of the big reasons as to why they did lose.
And yet Donald Trump just days after is in the Oval Office saying,
maybe I will destroy the country of Iran.
I'll let you know soon enough if I decide to do that.
What?
How insane is that?
I mean, he's just doubling down.
He's doubling down on the Iran war.
And of course, people are very unhappy with him doing this.
But the bad news doesn't stop there for Donald Trump.
The fact that his own family is calling him out that he's very unpopular.
We also have some news coming from Congress that is going to be bad for Trump and the
people around him.
So number one, Representative Thomas Massey posted, when we return next week, we'll get
218 signatures.
For the Epstein Files Transparency Act 2, which guarantees a vote.
And given the political climate, I would be very surprised if this bill does not pass.
Look, Republicans don't need another thing taking them down, right?
I mean, if they vote against the Epstein Files Transparency Act, they tried to block the
first one, was unsuccessful.
If they block this one, that's just another negative headline.
So I'd be very surprised if this doesn't pass or at least get a very favorable vote.
He also said survivors will be able to get their own records.
State attorneys general can prosecute crimes.
Thank you.
And we can take the DOJ to court for keeping critical files hidden.
All of this is very important.
But that last part adds more transparency.
They can't hide anymore.
Currently under the law, they can say, well, there's no mechanism for enforcement.
This is a mechanism for enforcement.
This would be disastrous for Donald Trump and his team.
It's not just that, though, coming from Congress, because also Democrats are already preparing
their investigations into Trump, his family members, his corrupt buddies, all the people who
profited off of the Oval Office.
They're all getting ready to get investigated.
Democrats are getting ready to investigate them.
And we're getting reports that some members in the Trump orbit, the magosphere, are having
trouble finding lawyers, which have fun, guys.
Have fun.
So terrible news for Donald Trump.
It's not just him, though.
It's not just him.
Because for Pete Hegseth as well, even Fox News is reporting that he might be out.
He might be out of the administration.
They're saying Hegseth faces bipartisan.
impeachment threat after Iran war gets blame for GOP midterm slaughter.
Check this out.
Secretary of War is what they're calling him on Fox News.
Of course, he's the Secretary of Defense, is facing a bipartisan impeachment threat
when Congress returns next week as Republicans seethe over their devastating losses in the
midterms.
Bipartisan frustration over the war in Iran quietly, quietly simmering for months is now
openly erupting after Democrats stunned the country with historic victories in the House
and the Senate.
That anger could all now hit Hegseth with seven.
Several House Republicans telling Fox News Digital that they believe a resolution to
impeach him could pass as early as next week.
So before even the new Democrats get into office, get into Congress next week, one GOP
lawmaker told Fox Digital he's screwed.
Wow.
Thomas Massey, a longtime critic of foreign intervention by the United States, told Fox
News Digital he intends to force a vote on impeaching him when he returns to Congress
if the Pentagon chief does not resign first.
So.
I mean, the Trump administration is just getting destroyed in the public eye right now.
But Hegseth has responded to this.
He's responded to all the talk of him possibly resigning or impeachment.
And this is what he said.
He's doubling down, basically.
Congress, you see, they attack me.
They attack us because we are effective.
It's not going to work.
We will not back down.
We put America and the warfighter first, always and without apology.
He's so corny.
They're going to attack me and it will not work because we're effective.
That's why they're going after me.
No, it's because you are accused of war crimes and corruption and mismanaging the Pentagon.
And it's a lot of money.
What are you talking about?
He's like he's trying to play the Donald Trump card of, you know, they're trying to prosecute
me because they're scared of me.
Are you stupid?
I mean, what are we doing?
Guys, guys, lock in for me.
It's not just Pete Hegseth, though, who's under fire and in a bit of a bit of trouble.
Now, Hegseth might be impeached, maybe resigned, but he's still being loyal to Donald Trump.
J.D.
Vance, on the other hand, different story.
Now, he wants to run for president in twenty twenty eight.
And so this post he made after the midterm elections is certainly part of that.
Essentially, in this post, he's identifying what led the Republicans to lose so badly.
He gives a bunch of different reasons, but he's like, you know, we got to end the war,
got to focus on the cost of living, got to put America first, change our relationship
to Israel.
These are like the four main things that he's identified that Republicans need to change
and contributed to the.
The loss that they suffered.
But we also got a report from Fox News later in the day after he posted that where he went
kind of rogue.
He went kind of rogue, kind of went off the rails.
According to this exclusive, a meeting Wednesday morning at the White House the day after the
midterms was aimed at aligning the administration on post midterm messaging.
But after the huddle, J.D.
Vance sent that tweet that we just looked at breaking with Trump on foreign policy.
Vance is seeking a new alliance with disaffected Trump voters after crushing midterm losses.
A source.
told Fox News Digital he's aiming
to the, quote, new right, which includes changing the nature of America's relationship with Israel.
So even J.D. Vance a little bit going a little bit rogue. He wants to cultivate this new following
in the Republican Party, not the MAGA base. And that's really setting up an interesting fight for
2028 whenever that whenever all these candidates start to announce their candidacies. Abdul El
Sayed, though, the senator elect, which is nice to say, I was previously on the show saying
Democratic Senate candidate for Michigan, senator elect from Michigan kind of called out Vance for
backtracking, you know, saying maybe this would have been the right thing to say like eight months
ago, but you're in too deep, buddy. Watch this. President, I find them odious. They've taken us
down the path. You see J.D. Vance now. He's sprinting as hard backwards as he can from this
terrible, disastrous war in Iran. I'm like, now's not the time, my guy. It would have been eight
months ago. You should have spoke up, but you never will because, of course, you have you are
a coward who has decided that whatever Donald Trump says should go until, of course, Donald
Trump is now a loser.
At the ballot box, and I are trying to find a different way.
Damn right. Call him out. Call him out. I love that. It's also not just J.D. Vance. It's not
just Pete Hegseth. There's even more beef with another high ranking Trump official, that being
Marco Rubio. We're getting reports from The Guardian that he's expected to step down and
launch a bid to be the next United States president. Their breakdown is that he's
reportedly preparing to resign from the administration to launch this bid. Sources
in Washington and the U.K. government expect him to step down following the results.
Insiders suggest that Rubio needs to distance himself from the controversial policies of
this administration, including the war in Iran, to improve his prospects against someone
like J.D. Vance. And up to five cabinet members could leave the administration amidst public
backlash over energy costs. It remains to be seen if this happens. It might not even
be happening anytime soon, maybe in like six months from now when he's really getting ready
to launch his campaign. We'll see, though. We don't really know when this is going to
happen. This is what The Guardian is, however, reporting. So a lot of people in the Trump
administration saying, maybe.
Maybe we don't want to be connected to you much longer. And look, Donald Trump,
in the midst of the walls closing in on him, everything around him, his administration,
his team falling apart, of all the terrible things that are happening in Congress for him,
great for the American people, bad for him. This is all he can post. This is what he posted on
TikTok last night, very late in the night. I'm thinking, I believe the posting time was around
12 in the morning, maybe one in the morning, but this is what he posted.
I feel certain that we'll get along as well as you can with the Democrats that came into office.
It's just in case they do send me a message. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't
us things. We have a veto. You know, the president has a veto power. So as bad or foolish ideas come
in, we'll veto. Now, on the other hand, we may have some things that we'll negotiate together
and we could be very productive. The Democrats and Republicans working together
could be very productive. But if we're not, we go like this. Veto.
This is all he does all day now, which is just making videos for his social media platforms,
his social media pages. And it's just such a beautiful sight that Donald Trump has been
relegated to this. You know, they have, as it stands, of course, before the new Congress comes
in, the House, the Senate, the presidency, the Supreme Court, and they use that power to do
basically nothing. Right. They use that to enrich Donald Trump, to enrich his buddies. But in terms
of passing legislation, they did nothing. And now that power has been taken away from him and all he
can do is sit in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk and say, I'm going to veto you.
Well, we're getting
close to veto-proof majorities in the House and the Senate, ladies and gents. It'd be great.
And maybe some Republicans might think about joining us in passing some common sense legislation
if they want to keep their seats. They're now on notice that we can win in states that they didn't
think we could win in. And maybe that'll scare them a little bit, but we shall see. I just wanted
to break down everything we talked about in this video, the walls closing in, Donald Trump's insane
posts on social media where he's trying to blame the American people for him failing. It's just a
really stupid thing to do, but I will leave the video there. Thank you so much for watching.
Make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment. Let me know what you think
about this story and everything we just talked about. A lot of stuff going on, so I'm excited
to hear your thoughts. Have an amazing rest of your day, and we will talk soon.
