Trump's Sunday Goes Sideways as His Admin Gets Exposed

The transcript critiques Wise as a transparent, fee-free global money transfer service that offers fair exchange rates, contrasting it with misleading providers. It then shifts to a political analysis, detailing how Donald Trump and his allies are accused of enabling Russian diesel deals, throttling Ukrainian defense systems via Starlink restrictions, and spreading false narratives about global threats. President Zelensky reports that the U.S. has cut off critical intelligence and early warning systems, undermining Ukraine’s defense. Trump’s outreach to Netanyahu and claims of a nuclear deal with Iran are challenged as part of a broader pattern of disinformation. Critics argue that Republican figures manipulate fear—such as claiming Trump prevented nuclear war—to justify their political stance. Additionally, media bias is highlighted, with left-leaning outlets dominating polling coverage and right-wing sources promoting conspiracy theories. The narrative underscores deep distrust in political leadership and media, suggesting a dangerous cycle of misinformation, fear-mongering, and foreign policy destabilization. The piece concludes by promoting a book, *WTF America*, as a resource on understanding current political chaos and potential paths forward.

Donald Trump's Sunday is off to a calamitous start amid more tankers being struck in the straight of Hormuz, the price of gas and diesel continuing to surge. As markets are prepared to open and I think we're going to see the price of oil start to edge closer to $125 a barrel by the end of this week. Donald Trump is out there ranting and raving this morning saying things like this. Wow, our country was scammed. How are we scammed, Donald? By you? No, he says. And we now have the proof. You have not heard the last of this. DJT, the six largest boomerangs from the 2019 Ukraine impeachment narrative so far. This is what you're posting about on Sunday, October 18th, as you're literally throttling Ukrainian access to Starlink and Starsheel depriving Ukraine of early warning systems. As you're doing diesel deals with Russia, you're whining about the 2019 impeachment alleging you with held certain weapons from Zelensky. If there was not a Ukrainian investigation into Biden, that's where we're at right now this morning. No, we're actually at this as well. Donald Trump posted this this morning, the federal judge at the hearing tomorrow over this exact issue will probably find this interesting. He writes, "I am pleased to announce that the Department of Interior under the auspices of Secretary Doug Burgham and in conjunction with the famed Golf Course Architect, Tom Fazio, has developed a plan to build a world-class championship golf course on the site of the current East Potomac golf links located in Washington, D.C. When completed, it will be open to the public. Sure, Jan, I'm sure it will be." When it is completed, when you destroy the East Potomac public course, which is a nice course, by the way, at the same time, designed to the highest level of golf and able to hold world-class tournaments. Yes, Americans are having their healthcare ripped away. As Americans, can't afford gas and diesel, can't afford homes, they're delinquent on their credit card bills, people are struggling, a golf course right over here. And remember, last week, there was all of the tree ripping, the tree felling that was taking place by the Trump regime, and the federal judge wanted to get to the bottom of who was making the order. And I'm like, it's Trump. It's so obvious that it's Trump making the order. Well, there's a hearing tomorrow. And the DOJ lawyers also said that there wasn't fully a plan yet. Well, Trump just posted one. And then Donald Trump posted this this morning. And an endorsement of Benjamin Netanyahu in the Israeli upcoming elections. Trump writes, "To the great people of Israel, BB Netanyahu has been a great warrior prime minister, and even a greater partner for peace," Trump says, "in combating the Islamic Republic of Iran." Trump says that he and Netanyahu have systematically destroyed both militarily and financially Iran. And unless they, referring to Iran, change their ways rapidly, we will soon finish the job," Trump says this morning. "If Israel has the wrong leader, which would be anyone other than BB, America will have to do this work by ourselves, more invasion of Iran." And Trump says, "I'm not inclined to do so." So his pitch vote Netanyahu so we can continue catastrophic wars across the world right now. I mean, I'm literally reading for you what this lunatic war criminal sex predator is posting. Trump says, "Let this letter serve as a complete and total endorsement of BB." Then Trump had his proxies go on the various news networks this morning. You had Magamaik Johnson on state regime media fox saying, "All right, you've got to vote Republicans. You've got to keep the grownups in charge." We're the grownups. You think you are the grownups. You are the grownups covering up child sex trafficking rings. You may want to finish the sentence. You are the grownups who have destroyed the United States of America. You are, I won't even call you gray. Y'all are a bunch of sick, demented, twist things. Watch what Magamaik says. Keep the grownups in charge. That's why you need to vote us. Play this clip. You have to keep the grownups in charge, steady hands at the wheel. That's why Republicans have to keep control of Congress. We then heard from Ukraine's president Zelensky this morning. And he was asked, "Has the Starlink system and Star Shield that Ukraine relies on for its drones and drone interceptors? Has it been fully restored?" And he says, "Nope. It hasn't. We are still being throttled." Play this clip. And has the system been fully restored? What's the status right now, president Zelensky? No. No. Not, of course. We have a limitation. The speed is maximum 161 kilometers. More from Ukraine president Zelensky this morning as well. And he says, "Only the U.S. has this intelligence to also tell us as soon as the Russian ballistics get shot in our direction or launched in our direction. We don't get the early warnings like we used to. There was a number of days where our early warning access that the U.S. once provided was shut off. So we wouldn't know when the ballistics were about to hit. And this is also as the U.S. has withheld interceptors and interceptor licenses to stop the ballistics. Here, play this clip. Are the intelligence from Europeans and other partners? We have dozens of countries who have but only United States has these unique intelligence to say, to tell us, to tell our side when Russia uses ballistic missiles. And we didn't get it during ballistic attacks during three days. More from Zelensky saying Putin has been very happy by Donald Trump waving the sanctions against Russia from the Lindsey Graham sanctions act. Doing the diesel deal. It's been a great week for Putin is what Zelensky says. Play this clip. It's really big support for Putin. He feels victory with sanctions and diesel deal and then starling between us. We have to be very honest. So we always thankful by partisan support, but with starling, it's not the sport. Relay. It's for today. It's more. But Donald Trump then sends his stoogeous, like Treasury Secretary Besen, went on meet the press. And Kristen Welker said, so Zelensky says there was a break in intelligence sharing. Now, our real sick. I mean, you know, I think amongst a regime of sickos, Besen's like right up there. This guy is a real, demented demon, right? And so he goes, Zelensky should watch his mouth. Dude, you're the Treasury Secretary. Who are you? Are you cosplaying? Who are you cosplaying right now? Who do you think you are fooling right now? You've always been a loser your whole life, Besen. The whole financial community always knew that about you. Know your damn role. And in the role that you have as the Treasury Department Secretary, you are failing miserably the bond market, the equities market, the markets in general, know that you are a freaking moron who's unqualified. But act all tough. This is Besen saying that Zelensky needs to watch out play this clip. How did it get slowed down? How were these disruptions caused by his president, Zelensky also said there was a break in intel sharing as well. Why did that happen? Again, I don't know anything about that, but we've been very clear. And your president, Zelensky, should be very careful about making statements like this that aren't true. More from Besen, over here, went ask that. Zelensky believes that the U.S. slowed the speed of Starlink because the speed of Starlink is slow and listen to what Besen says play it. President Zelensky just said he believes the U.S. government slowed the speed. Now President Trump said he had nothing to do with it. But can you definitively say no one in the Trump administration ordered restrictions? President Trump and Secretary Rubio have categorically said that no one on the Trump administration did that, and I think it is very reckless, the poor president Zelensky to make such a charge. More from Welker over here, saying that Zelensky says Ukraine will not prevail if the U.S. sides with Russia and it seems to be what's taking place. Let's play it. Speaking of President Zelensky, he says Ukraine will not prevail if the United States sides with Russia. A number of Republican senators have said that's what this move does. Is the president siding with Russia here? No. Again, that's a false binary. What does the U.S. provide? The U.S. provides intelligence, the starlink. And we provide, we allow the NATO to buy U.S. armaments and re-sell them to Ukraine. Then you had magma, Johnson characterizing Donald Trump providing sanction relief to Putiness, thinking outside the box. Let's play this clip. I know the president is evaluating this as he does everything else. Look, he has two major objectives as you know, Larry, every day. He wants to keep America safe and he wants to bring down the cost of living for every American. He thinks outside the box with creative ideas all the time and he carefully evaluates those. So I think the right decision will be made here in the end. More over here from Trump regime stuages. This time you had Chris Wright, Donald Trump's energy secretary, when asked on this week, Donald Trump announced an energy cease-fire between Russia and Ukraine. But Russia and Ukraine didn't know anything about such things. Did you know about it? Energy cease-fire. You're the energy secretary. Were you told energy secretary about energy cease-fire? I mean, and you want to lecture us about grown-ups in the room? Y'all behave worse than fascist second graders. No offense to second graders. Why qualified with fascists to your play this clip? President Trump said that there was a deal, a cease-fire, an energy cease-fire a week ago. Russia and Ukraine said there was no such thing. Were you involved in that? Was there anything? This is President Trump encouraging Russia. If they want to export diesel, if they want to get the benefits, you believe that are about to be showered upon them. The only way they can do that is with an energy cease-fire with some reduction of war effort. Was there everyone because Russia and Ukraine didn't? President Trump is always working to move them in the direction to have that kind of a deal. That is the only way Russia would benefit from this reduction of sanctions only on diesel exports, not on oil exports, not on any other Russian exports. Then Chris Wright, the energy secretary, is asked. So you would admit, though, that the Iran War and the closure of the Strait of Ramos is causing a lot of the problems that Americans are facing where energy prices are through the roof. You admit that, right? Here we play this clip. Profineries. Gavin Newsom has forced the closure of two refineries in the last 12 months. The Strait of Ramos and the Iran War, you would admit, caused a lot of these problems. Absolutely. To prevent the Iranian regime from getting nuclear weapons, absolutely comes at a cost. You know, folks, with everything that's going on today, it's just so important that we have a accurate, responsible media diet, by the way, I mean, take a look at this reporting regarding a poll. We covered this poll on the minus touch network. Trump approval hitting a record low, handling or handing Democrats a clear midterm edge. And if you look at who's reporting on accurate polling data, overwhelmingly left-wing media, 57% of the coverage on this comes from the left, 29% from the center, which is interesting as well, not a lot of coverage there. And on the right, where are they anymore? They're more right-wing at this point, anyway. And then on the right-wing, only 14%, while they're out there saying, what, the elections are going to be rigged and stolen by Democrats? Y'all control every branch of government. Y'all are the ones who are interfering with elections abroad and here. That's the MAGA Republicans. By the way, I partner with Ground News for this episode and other episodes because they're the best tool for me to stay objective with my reporting. Ground News is an app that does what I just shared with you right there at polls in thousands of articles from around the world and organizes them by story to show you how's the left, center, and right framing certain stories. For every story, the color-coded layout makes it easy to see the political bias of each source so I can filter through high-factuality sources. I can see what the left is covering, what the rights covering, what the so-called center is reporting on. I can focus on whether it's an independent media organization or a large media conglomerate and it shows you what I just shared with you there. Now 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. So 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 ever offered. If you want to support this channel and get a clearer understanding of the world, try out ground news. And boy, do we need a healthy media diet? When you've got Magamite Johnson out there doing this, he offers a conspiracy theory to explain away his party's dire polling. Listen to what he says over here, play this clip. And the mainstream media is advancing this narrative. I believe there's a concerted effort between the Democrats and the mainstream media. They're allies in the media that are openly biased in their favor. They want to dispirite the Republican side. They want to discourage turnout on the Republican side. And so it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy that they prevail in the election. We cannot buy into it. Don't buy it. I don't believe there are reliable polls any more, even some of our own candidates who are doing internal polling, even they have our time, getting Republicans to respond to polls because Republicans don't trust pollsters anymore. And they can't discern when they get a call who's originating in the call. And that is affecting the outcome of the polls. Or, Maga Republican Senator Dave McCormick, he says, look, you may think things are bad now, but how much worse would it have been under Kamala Harris and Biden? Likely, you would have seen Iran get a nuclear weapon and we would all be dead by now. So Trump saved your life. This is called being a six sociopath. This is where they're at. They create dystopian fictional worlds, these Maga Republicans, to try to scare you into voting for them. Then when they destroy and shatter your actual reality, they then point to the fictitious world that they saved you in. This is true sick, demented brainwashing, twisted behavior. Watch what these sickos do because every day they're trying to pull this stuff on you. This is what McCormick says, play this clip. The Iran was the biggest sponsor of state terror had killed more Americans than any other country in the world over decades. And they were clearly on a path to a nuclear weapon. And there's anyone doubt that under a President in Harris, they would have achieved a nuclear weapon under her regime, so under her leadership. So this is exactly why President Trump had to act. It wasn't an easy decision politically, but it was the right decision to protect America and our kids. But I don't just want to show you the sicko Maga Republicans this morning, these vile piece of human scum trash. I also want to show you, what are some Democrats saying? This is Senator Warnock, here's what he has to say, play this clip. >> No, one of the big debates is what should be at the top of the agenda should Democrats move to impeach President Trump for a third time? Where do you stand on this Senator? Do you believe Democrats should impeach President Trump? Should they win back the House of Representatives? >> Listen, Donald Trump is a crook and he's got to go and the people who are enabling him, they all have to be held accountable. And so we ought to have the investigations to get to the truth behind this, the most corrupt administration in American history at the same time, we have to walk and chew gum at the same time, Americans are being crushed under these costs, which are connected to his corruption. And so we have to end this war, stop the tariffs, fix health care, and then lay out for the American people a vision that embraces all of us. >> I'm not. >> Reasonable. Here's what Senator Bernie Sanders has to say, let's play what Bernie Sanders says, let's play. >> Well, what he says to the people, can't afford health care, you can't afford housing, you can't afford prescription, you know what the answer is, it's the undocumented people, it's the trans people, it's black people, it's the Canadians, it's the Mexicans, every day there's a new person that we are supposed to hate. >> He says, that's the reason why, damn undocumented, get rid of all of them, and I'm going to have health care. >> Huh? >> It doesn't quite work that way. But he's doing with demagogues of all these other things, what they did to the Jews in Germany, right? Come up with an enemy. >> But it makes people reasonable. about contrasting that to Christen Welker. "and Besson," she says. So why live sanctions on Russia now? Why right now do you lift the sanctions? You do a diesel deal with them. You lift sanctions on them. Why now, Besson? And he goes, "Oh, we didn't lift anything. It's a 60-day waiting period. It's a 60-day waiting period here, play this clip." - But we did the toughest sanctions. - Okay, but why lift them now? What has Putin done to deserve sanctions really now? - That's my question. - That's not true. No sanctions were lifted on Friday. No sanctions were lifted. - There was a law that was supposed to put more sanctions in place, but the president effectively will use that. - No sanctions were lifted. - Will they be lifted? - There is a 60-day period. So we can examine what's going on. The only thing that has been lifted is the diesel embargo. - Is this like your economic outcast? Is this like when you say in three days, back in April, Iran's pipes are going to burst? Or just two more weeks? Or that the war is gonna be ending in four to six weeks? Is that part of just, they're all just liars. These Trump regime scum. All they do is lie. All that's all they have. They're truly evil, evil people. And I mean that in the truest sense of evil. They deceive, they steal, they hate, they cover up sex trafficking, and the Epstein filed. They're sick, sick people. And speaking of sick, sick people, then you have Netanyahu going on American media. They coordinate this stuff. Trump and Netanyahu, so Trump posts that. Then Netanyahu goes on, "Mark Lavend." The Mark Lavend, Mark Lavend. We need more water. We need more water, Mark Lavend. We're water everywhere. Israel fires Mark Lavend. And Netanyahu says Iran is building intercontinental ballistics, and they're about to go get you, U.S. We need more war right now. Here's when Netanyahu says let's play it. - They don't conquer in the Middle East. Control the waterways of the world. Control the oil supply and choke. And then proceed to the next target, which is Europe, to the next target, which is you. That's why they're building intercontinental ballistic missiles to reach the United States. And they want them to have nuclear warheads. And then every single city in the United States, every single city, will be held hostage to the blackmail of these fanatics. There you have it, everybody, oh, folks, it's out. It is out. It's out Tuesday, technically. But order it now so it arrives right away. WTF America, it's here. Get the hardcover, get the ebook. I see so many people posting photos with the book. I guess it arrived early for some people, which is great. Get your copy. Thanks so much. Got a lot of content. A lot of videos are uploading today.
