As Donald Trump departed from yet another vacation in Mar-a-Lago to go back to D.C. to make things worse and screw over America even more, the White House issued the following press release.
This is real. I'm not making this up.
The White House issued this. In just over one month, illegal border crossings have plummeted by numbers that nobody has actually ever seen before.
It's much more than 100%. Yes, it defies all of the rules of mathematics and grammar.
This is the most idiotic authoritarian regime in the history of mankind. Let me show you Exhibit B.
That was Exhibit A. This is Exhibit B.

Donald Trump is asked a question by the reporters on Air Force One.

Do you believe Putin is disrespecting you by attacking Ukraine?

And then Donald Trump's response is to attack the reporter and say, what did he do?

Who are you with? Who are you with?

Who are you with?

Here, play this clip.

This week.

This person is disrespecting you by attacking Ukraine when you're trying to make peace of

him.

This person is disrespecting you by attacking Ukraine when you're trying to make peace of

him.

What did he do?

Well, he's attacking Ukraine.

Is he disrespecting me?

Yeah.

Who are you with?

Michael Burkamp.

Watch it. You lost a lot of credibility.
Go ahead. What else? As I said, it is an authoritarian regime.
It is also incredibly idiotic. Donald Trump conducting more interviews on Air Force One, taking more questions from reporters.
He was asked if he's worried about a recession, to which Donald Trump said, we're going to just be so rich, you're not even going to know how rich you are. So even if there's a recession, don't worry, I'm going to make you so rich, he says.
Here, play this clip. of dollars in tariffs and we're gonna become so rich you're not gonna know where to spend all that money I'm telling you you just watch we're gonna have jobs we're gonna have open factories it's gonna be great and the plane is landing and thank you for a lot of good questions okay thank you very much everybody I mean seriously you're gonna be so rich you're not going to know where to spend the money I don't understand the psychology of somebody who watches that and goes, oh, I'm going to get rich again.
This guy always tells me the truth. I mean, the guy lies about everything.
He said prices would go down on day one. There would be peace in Ukraine in 24 hours.
Housing would be affordable. And he said by now that there would be all of these jobs.
Oh, yeah. What about no tax on tips, no tax on social security, no tax on overtime? What about all of those promises? Lie, lie, lie, lie.
But then he just makes up a new lie. And then the kind of brain dead MAGA cult members go, oh, I guess you're going to be rich.
It's so stupid. Meanwhile, in Canada, where they are standing up to this bully regime in the United States, the Liberal Party has selected its new leader, Mark Carney, who will go on to replace Prime Minister Trudeau as the Prime Minister of Canada.
He will hold that position for a short period of time, pending the elections against the Conservative Party led by Pierre Poliev. And if Carney wins that, when the Liberal Party rather wins that, and they're expected to win that, Carney would go on to stay as the Prime Minister with a new government being formed.
The Liberal Party months ago, no one would ever expect it would be able to pull this off and actually win an election, but it seems like they're headed to do just that, especially as the right-wing party in Canada, the Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poliev, went Maple MAGA and really went in on all this Trump stuff before Donald Trump did all of the things that we told

you he was going to do. Let me just share this brief portion of Mark Carney's victory speech for the Liberal Party leadership position.
I think it's such a perfect contrast to those idiotic clips I just played of Trump. Watch Carney right here.
Let's play it. America is not Canada.

And Canada never, ever will be part of America in any way, shape, or form.

Look.

Thank you. We didn't ask for this fight.
We didn't ask for this fight. But Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.
So the Americans, they should make no mistake, in trade as in hockey, Canada will win.

Also, as Donald Trump was heading back to D.C. from his vacation to screw everything up once again, it's like he comes back, he wrecks the country even more, then goes back in golf, wrecks the country more, goes back and plays golf.
But here's a big part of Donald Trump's's platform right everybody this is what you want and i'm being sarcastic of course trump posts the following on his social media as i made clear during my joint address to congress the united states strongly supports the people of greenland's right to determine their own future we will continue to keep you safe as we have since world war ii we're ready to invest billions of dollars to create new jobs to make you rich. And if you so choose, we welcome you to be part of the greatest nation anywhere in the world, the United States of America.
I like that. I'm being sarcastic.
So Trump's priority is let's now make Greenland rich and let's just not care about the people in America, Greenland first. And, you know, he's just lying about Greenland.
This whole thing, as I said before, it's just freaking weird. It's strange.
It's dangerous. And the world just sees how pathetic he is, right? It's just like whack-a-mole idiocracy, right? It's like he goes from, I'm going to put tariffs on you.
I'm not going to put tariffs on you. I'm going to put tariffs on you.
I'm not going to put tariffs on you. Hey, Hamas, I'm going to unleash hell.
I'm not going to unleash hell. I'm going to unleash hell.
I'm not going to unleash hell. Yeah, I'm unleashing hell.
I'm not going to unleash hell. Hey, Greenland, I'm going to conquer you.
I'm not going to conquer. I'm going to conquer you.
Hey, Panama Canal, I'm coming for you. I'm not coming for you.
It's the same cyclical idiocracy over and over again.

And it's just ridiculous. Here, Donald Trump is asked about all these plane crashes recently.

There was another plane crash on Sunday, another lethal plane crash. And Trump's like, yeah,

sometimes things happen more that's just life

you know recess dealing with these

crashes ever since he was sworn in.

Does he have a legitimate concern?

Well, that has nothing to do with the department.

That was a small plane

and that would have happened whether you had

a big department or a small department, as you

understand. It's just they're

they have spates like this. You know,

they have times when

things happen a little bit more often than normal and then it goes back and you go many years without having a problem. I'll tell you, I think the Southwest pilot did a fantastic job last week when he lifted that plane off the air, because if he put the brakes on, that wouldn't have been good.
And I think the license should be maybe revoked for the plane that got away from the pilot, revoked for the plane that got in its way. But the way he immediately stepped in the gas and lifted up as opposed to, you know, thinking for about three seconds when it would have been too late.
The Southwest pilot or pilots were, they did a great job. And then a reporter says, you know, Donald, Russia, China, Iran, they're doing military exercises together.
You realize you have no, this is me paraphrasing, you have no geopolitical understanding of the way these alliances are being formed. Like as you're sucking up to Russia, Russia is then forming its alliance, not with you, but with China and Iran.
And then you're saying you're against Iran and you're attacking them, but supporting Russia. But Russia is not supporting.
You have no clue, Donald, what's going on. Does that bother you, Donald, that all these other countries are forming alliances against Europe and against the United States? And now the U.S.
is going to be out of all of these alliances. And then Donald Trump's like, no, it doesn't matter.
We're stronger than everybody. Here, play this clip.
Russia, China and Iran are doing military exercises together. Does that concern you? No, not at all.
Not at all. Why not? Because we're stronger than all of them.
We have more power than all of them. I rebuilt the military.
Unfortunately, Biden did nothing with it, but I rebuilt the military. But we don't want to even talk about that.
I think- Look, even on Fox, they have one of Donald Trump's former economic advisors on, Stephen Moore, to try to talk some sense into Donald Trump. This is Trump's former economic advisor, top former economic advisor.
And he's just like, yeah, what Trump's doing with the economy, with tariffs is bad, bad, bad. Consumer confidence is crashing.
Other indicators are not positive. This is bad stuff.
This is on Fox. This is Trump's former guy.
Play this clip. But we have seen a little bit of market upset.
What is your perspective on the way forward? Well, you used the word complicated, and that's exactly what it has been over the last week, Katie, where one day the tariffs are going to go up, and then there's going to be a delay in the terrace and then there's going to be a tariff in another country and it's been up and down and up and down and by the way the stock market went up and down and up and down with these things. I think that the president's emphasis on terrorists right now is misguided.
I think we have a very wobbly economy. We saw a not very good jobs report on Friday.
The consumer confidence numbers are sinking and other indicators are not positive. The economy needs a pick me up and terrorists are not a pick me up.
What is is the Trump tax cut. Congress has to get this passed as soon as possible by Memorial Day.
That will provide the stimulus the economy needs. Yeah, because if they don't get the cut, it's gonna be a tax hike for everybody who got it in the first place.
One of the biggest. So then Donald Trump has to send out Howard Lutnick and Howard Lutnick then articulates, that's not the right word, says, uses words to talk about what Trump's tariff policy is.
And Lutnick says, look, no tariffs if fentanyl ends. Once fentanyl ends, no tariffs.
What is it? If fentanyl ends? What are you even talking about? Here, play this clip. Well, second, that's going to be reciprocal tariffs.
And I'm happy to talk about that. But let's try to keep those two different.
Okay. Understood.
But you say he's not going to take his foot off the gas. Does mean these are permanent tariffs mr secretary can you provide clarity yes or no if fentanyl ends i think these will come off but if fentanyl does not end or he's uncertain about it they will stay this way until he is comfortable this is black and white you got got to save American lives.
So with respect to fentanyl, this is about the border and fentanyl. And that's an agreement between the president and the two leaders of Canada.
Of course, Justin Trudeau has got a lot to say. Of course, he's leaving in like days.
So it's not really that fun to listen to some guy who's trying to create sort of a mess for Canada, which he's trying to do. President China did a much more calm, thoughtful conversation with President Trump.
And that's why this is the result. She was able to negotiate it because she said a thousand more people on the border stopping fentanyl from coming into this country.
Well, all of this is going on too. You have Elon Musk attacking the foreign minister of Poland.
The foreign minister of Poland just made a very basic statement, which is, Starlink should not be cutting off access to satellites to Ukraine since Poland has paid the bill. Simple premise, right? But what's Elon Musk's response? Well, earlier in the day, Elon Musk wrote that America needs to leave NATO immediately.
That was what Elon Musk said earlier, that America shouldn't be protecting Europe and NATO shouldn't exist. That's what Elon Musk said.
And here, Elon Musk attacks the foreign minister of Poland, our ally, and goes, be quiet, small man. You pay a tiny fraction of the cost and there's no substitute for Starlink.
Tired of winning? Tired of winning? Here's the headline. Trump won't rule out recession in 2025.
That's what he said in the interview with Maria Bartiroma. Here, play that clip.
And I want to ask you about Ukraine

and the blow up the other day with Zelensky. Let me stay on the economy for a moment because there are rising worries about a slowdown.
You've got the Atlanta Federal Reserve saying we're going to have a contraction in the first quarter. Look, I know that you inherited a mess and you said that the other night.
I've only been here too. But are you expecting a recession this year? I hate to predict things like that.

There is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big. We're bringing wealth back to America.
That's a big thing. And there are always periods of it takes a little time.
It takes a little time. But I think it should be great for us.
I mean, I think it should be great. It's going to be great ultimately for the farmer.
You know, don't forget, I made... And while all of that's taking place, you have Elon Musk continuing to make posts like this.
Democrats are demented, genocidal war sluts. Well, no wonder we're seeing massive protests now take place across the country.

You have Senator Bernie Sanders drawing huge crowds in Wisconsin and Michigan in reddish and purplish areas.

You have people who Donald Trump, who voted for Donald Trump, like veterans for Trump, saying that they feel betrayed.

And I think the momentum against Donald Trump is growing.
