Trump RAGES As Everyone Turns On Him

A recent Wall Street Journal report reveals that Donald Trump is increasingly frustrated with the direction of his second term, claiming that key policies—such as his efforts to dismantle the Kennedy Center—are not receiving public credit. Behind the scenes, he has expressed anger at media coverage, particularly after being shown clips of anchors criticizing his administration. In response, he banned several major news outlets from the White House, a move attributed to his close aide Natalie Harp. This action, seen as a direct attack on press freedom, is widely viewed as counterproductive and potentially damaging to democratic norms. Trump’s frustrations are amplified by declining approval ratings, economic downturns, and opposition to his foreign policy, including plans to escalate war in Iran or eliminate the nation entirely. His focus on rebranding AI and promoting pet projects like a militarized arch near the Lincoln Memorial further highlights a disconnect between his ambitions and public sentiment. Critics argue that his policies—ranging from economic mismanagement to aggressive foreign interventions—have harmed the U.S. and are not supported by the American public. Meanwhile, officials like Mike Waltz deflect criticism by avoiding direct answers, reinforcing a pattern of political evasion. The broader message is clear: despite Trump’s attempts to assert control through media bans and ideological rebranding, his policies are failing, and the public’s resistance is rooted in tangible economic and foreign policy realities.

So check this out. According to the Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump is privately lashing out to allies that some elements of his second term aren't going his way, which is number one, a bombshell leak from inside the White House, meaning that somebody close to Donald Trump is speaking to the media, and that is not good news for him, but also number two, he's wrong. His administration is going in the exact way that he wants it to, and that's why it's so devastating. When Donald Trump gets his way, bad things happen for the United States of America, the economy sucks. If there's war, there's division, you name it, that's because of Donald Trump. Trump is just angry that people don't like his vision, not the things haven't gone his way. He could reverse course on many of these things at any moment, and he doesn't. So I want to break down this bombshell article we just got on the insides of the Trump administration. Before I do that, though, please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment. Let me know what you think about the story and everything we're going to talk about, and let's get it get into it. So a wave of setbacks leaves Trump frustrated and looking for credit. Credit for what exactly, credit for herring the country is, I mean, I'm happy to give you credit for herring the country. It's exactly your fault. At a recent closed-door meeting in the Oval Office, the president expressed deep frustration to advisors that prominent figures in Washington hadn't publicly thanked him for trying to overhaul the Kennedy Center. Why would they? He wants to destroy this historic building, this monument to President Kennedy, and he thinks he should get credit for that. He's so out of it. Instead, Trump's bid to affix his name onto the centers facade and make sweeping changes to the cultural institution has been met with opposition from Democrats, patrons of the arts, and the courts. On Tuesday, following his latest legal setback, the president threatened to block renovations at the performing arts venue, unless his name was put on the building. There's even been conversations of knocking it down in its entirety. Twenty months into his second term, Trump isn't getting his way, and he isn't happy about it. According to advisors, administration officials and others close to the president also said the same. The president has objected in public and private to media coverage of his presidency for months. But his frustrations, of course, reached a fever pitch on Friday. When one of his closest aides, Natalie Harp, showed him clips of anchors on the cable network, MSNOW, criticizing his administration, according to people familiar with the matter. Hours later, Trump had banned the network and two other news organizations from the White House. And look who's part of the story. Natalie Harp. Also behind the banning of media outlets from the White House, it is Natalie Harp, his right hand woman. Behind the scenes, the president has told aides he doesn't have enough political allies defending him on television and making the case for his second term achievements, according to people also familiar with the matter. White House spokesman Stephen Chung said Trump allies have done an incredible job of getting the message out to voters. And that's why Donald Trump has a 30% approval rating. Nice job, guys. You're killing it. The president has been briefed on the headwinds facing Republicans in the midterms and advisers have told him that the Iran War is a drag on his conservative basis enthusiasm ahead of the election, though his team maintains they are cautiously optimistic about November. If I were them, I would not be cautiously optimistic about November. There's not been a single poll that I have seen recently, and I look at them often, that the Republicans have been leading in a meaningful way. So I'm not sure where they're getting this optimism. Maybe it's this little inner circle they have where they all talk about how great they are. Something from that, but the American people outside of their little circle, they have a different perspective. The president's frustrations mounted in the past two weeks as two key advisers were away. Susie Wiles was in Florida, Caroline Levit recently left the White House, and Trump's decision to ban MSNOW, CNN, and Politico from the White House, caught many people by surprise. But the president's aides moved quickly to implement their boss's directive of barring the outlet's reporters from entering the White House on Saturday. A White House official said senior staff were with the president when he made the decision to ban the outlet. So this is part of his little meltdown that this article is talking about. He's raging about how things have not gone his way, quote unquote, and not going his way. He just means why don't the American people like me? That's all it means. But this was part of the meltdown. He had Natalie Harp showing him clips, and he thought, you know what? The only solution here is not reversing course on my bad policy. But rather, let's just say the hell with the first amendment. Let's just kick them out. That's the answer that totally won't backfire on me. It is, by the way. One senior administration official reacted with exasperation to the decision, arguing that the move would do little to achieve the president's goal of improving press coverage, which is exactly right. The president has discussed banning news outlets from the White House before, according to people familiar, but Aids have persuaded him to take less aggressive measures, such as blocking reporters from the Oval Office, or limiting their participation in the pool of reporters that covers the president. But now he's gone full on your band, your out, and more outlets are likely to come after this. I'm not going to stop at MSNOW, Politico, and CNN, Ari Flesher, who was the White House press secretary under President George W. Bush, and has frequently defended Trump, wrote on social media of the decision to kick out news outlets. Quote, banning them from the White House is not the solution. He argued that the move could make it easier for a Democratic president to take similar actions against a conservative leaning news outlet, which may very well happen in the future. I'm, you know, I like the first amendment, but this is the president that Donald Trump has set. And of course, the president is grappling with failing approval ratings, falling approval ratings, and the prospect of Republican losses in the coming midterm elections, driven in part by his really bad policy. So for example, a September poll from the New York Times and CNN research found that 29% of surveyed Republicans believe that the economy is in better shape than a year ago, which is not the numbers you want going into a midterm election. So Trump behind the scenes is complaining that people aren't talking about him positively on TV. They're complaining that people aren't going on TV, his surrogates, and defending his policies. He's complaining about his approval numbers, which means that when Donald Trump goes on air and says stuff like this, he knows he's lying. He just has to keep up the facade that, oh no, I'm super popular. You just have to look at the real polls. I have the best, I have the best poll numbers I've ever had among Republicans, I have poll numbers where I'm 71%. I have the best poll numbers. Those are among among Republicans, they, you know, you've got no, no, no, no. They're among Republicans, I have a 94 and 95%. No, I'm talking about generally, I have the, let me put it this way. There was a gentleman on Harry Emden yesterday on CNN and he went crazy over how well Trump was doing. Now, you know, you don't put that on because I think CBS is a shade, actually CNN's a shade better than NBC. I think NBC is probably the worst of them all. But if you check CNN tomorrow, watch Harry Emden and you'll see about the numbers, but that's okay. We have to defend ourselves. Yeah. I know. But there are other, they can say, there's your haters, sight polls that have you down in the 30s, Mr. President. Yeah. But just fake polls, yo. I had a lot of fake polls. You also have me in the, oh, they're fake polls, according to Donald Trump. And yet he's complaining about these very polls behind the scenes. Behind the scenes, he doesn't think they're fake. When he's on, you know, CNBC or whatever show he's on, he says they're fake. But behind the scenes, he's angry that people aren't defending him. Huh, it's almost like Donald Trump is a liar. Can you believe it? I've never heard of that one before. And look, a lot of Donald Trump's failures and the American people being squarely against him in this administration is once again, not because we feel like it, not because we just want to do something for the sake of doing it, but it's because he sucks. It's, it's as simple as his policy suck. He sucks. He's a bad guy who's doing bad things for this country and we can look at his record and come to that conclusion pretty easily and pretty quickly. It's not, you know, I don't know these great political thinkers in the White House. They're just so baffled as to why the American people don't like Trump. I can give you a book of reasons. I could write for 20 years straight. There wouldn't be enough paper. Donald Trump, look at this, for example, his obsession with AI. For some reason recently, he is completely ignoring what the polls say about how Americans feel about AI, generative AI, not like AI in medicine, but like, you know, these chat bots, for example, he is completely misreading the politics of this and he has embraced data centers and said that you're poor and backwards if you don't want one in your neighborhood. And now he's trying to rebrand AI for some reason. He says on social media, this was on September 19th, 1130 in the morning. So he was awake. Many people think that the words artificial intelligence are inaccurate and very ineliquent relative to AI or artificial intelligence, a far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be superior intelligence or extreme intelligence or supreme intelligence. What the hell is it? This is a poll and I would appreciate everybody voting. What is the best name for this ever growing revolution? So he wants to rebrand AI, I guess. Maybe he's trying to fix the brand image and hoping that people won't associate negative things with this new label that he gives it, whatever it might be. But he is running branding, changing for AI to give you a perspective on what he's focused on. But at the same time, he's also very focused on war in Iran. He's been telling Fox News that he's considering blowing up the entire nation of Iran once again. He's talked about this before. He's talking about it now. He wants to commit a genocide essentially against the tens of millions of people who live in Iran. Many of them are innocent and don't support what their regime has done, the theocracy. But Trump says, I don't care, let's bomb them anyway. I just spoke with President Trump about the situation with Iran. He tells Fox News he's in a deciding mode and that very big things are going to be happening in the not so distant future. The president described the current choices on the table as wiping Iran out, letting them rot economically or making a deal. He added, "My question is, if and when do I blow the entire nation up, they better behave." Now I ask. Wow. Heh. You know, something just tells me that that's not going to land well with the American people. I just have a feeling that most people out there are not going to be on board with the idea that we should bomb a nation that has a population of 60, 70 million people around those numbers and by eliminate that, I just get the feeling that a lot of people are probably going to be in opposition to that and these weirdos in the White House are confused as to why people don't like them. I mean, we're doing like two plus two equals four here. They're saying it's five, everybody else is saying it equals four, or what about Donald Trump in connection to the Iran war as well, basically just telling people to suck it up. You know, gas prices are up. Everything is actually up for that matter. It's not just gas prices because so much relies on fertilizer, which has also been, you know, greatly impacted by the war. Donald Trump is saying, well, it's a small price to pay. You just got to kind of suck it up and accept it. We do have something that I'm very proud of. A red will not have a nuclear weapon. Now, for that, people are going to have to pay some extra gifts. I think most people, if they had a vote on lower gas prices or letting Iran have a nuclear weapon, I'd be willing to vote that it would be a massive landslide. People don't want to have Iran have a nuclear weapon. And you know what? They won't. And the war is going to end soon. And when it ends, your gas prices are going to drop to a level that they were before, maybe even lower. Great message. Yeah, just suck it up. Okay, this is coming by the way from the guy who was like three X to his net worth since getting back into the Oval Office again. This is the guy telling you, oh, it's just not that bad, right? You just got to accept it. I mean, what a total loser. Or of course, focusing on his many pet projects. Like, for example, he has now announced this was yesterday that that arch he wants to build between Arlington National Cemetery and DC, it's across from the Lincoln Memorial. He wants to change it into a military complex, you know, he wants it to house and store and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus snipers on both the roof in the plaza areas and additionally, have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. This is apparently according to the military who came to him and said, let's do this, which by the way did not happen. Maybe Pete Hegseth said that, but any generals who have been there for quite some time, they're not focused on the arch. They're focused on the fact that Americans are dying in the Middle East and that there's an ongoing war. And security around the world is kind of in a weird spot right now with Russia threatening to expand their war against Ukraine. There's reporting that Putin wants limited incursions on European countries. I just get the feeling that the military generals who aren't partisan and really just care about the military in this country are not focused on the arch and nobody's actually coming to Trump and saying, please, we want you to make it a hub for sniper ammo. I mean, why lie about something so stupid? And of course, you know, these projects are going to cost hundreds of millions of dollars. They already have cost taxpayers, hundreds of millions of dollars. You have the reflecting pool, the ballroom, the arch, all of it is very, very, very expensive. And on top of all this, rightly so, voters are saying that Trump has hurt the economy because he has. I mean, you know, it's not really up for debate. We're not debating philosophy here or something that's objective. This is objective. Donald Trump has absolutely hurt the economy, and that has hurt him. And yet all they can do, the Trump administration, is kind of lie and distract. Like for example, Donald Trump's UN ambassador, Mike Waltz, peak deflection here. He was asked about some reporting from the Wall Street Journal that advisors close to Trump believe that the Iran war could last past 2029. So even after Trump has left office, they think that the war might still be a thing. Mike Waltz responded by saying, well, I think time is on the president's side, which is not to know, and not an answer, kind of like a deflection. And over there at Fox News, they're talking about the important issues, such as Sidney Swini or Sophie Cunningham. That's like, you know, they've dedicated a lot of time to these two individuals. And for some reason, because they, you know, they don't have any achievements to talk about from the Trump administration. So they have to find something to be angry about, isn't that right? Or, you know, if he's Republican representatives, like this guy from Pennsylvania saying, if he put the Democrats in charge, boys will be in girls' locker rooms. How many years have they been saying this for? I mean, how many years have they been running the same tired line? Or Kevin Hasset, advisor to Donald Trump saying that Joe Biden is to blame for inflation. The man that's been out of office for, you know, we're approaching two years. That's the guy to blame for inflation, not the guy who's starting wars and putting on tariffs on different countries, idiots across the board. But look, to go back to the original reporting, Donald Trump is curious and wondering why things aren't going his way. Why the American people don't like him? Why people aren't defending him? Why people don't want to give him credit for trying to destroy the credit? The Kennedy Center? Well, it's not a tough calculation. We can all figure this out pretty easily. So look, I will leave the video there. Thank you so much for watching. Please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment, let me know what you think about all this stuff and everything we talked about. Have an amazing rest of your day.
