Donald Trump was ranting and raving like a lunatic all night as he was getting mocked throughout the United States.

Let me show you what went down.

Donald Trump posts, don't worry about China.

It will all be fine.

Highly respected.

President Xi just had a bad moment.

He doesn't want depression for his country, and neither do I.

The USA wants to help China, not hurt it.

President DJT, that's after Donald Trump said that he was imposing 100% tariffs on China as Xi Jinping continues to clean Donald Trump's clock, outmaneuvering the United States economy in every respect, bankrupting American farmers.

The pork industry is coming next as Donald Trump has to now bail out our farmers who are experiencing Pharmageddon.

Is that a Trump always chickens out situation?

We will follow it.

But we have inflatables, the ones that we saw in Portland, Oregon, are now making their way across the country.

These inflatables mocking Donald Trump's claim that these blue states and blue cities are war zones and Donald Trump sending National Guard to invade blue states and blue cities coming from red states.

Here are the inflatables that have made their way to Broadview.

Care of Amanda Moore.

Let's watch this.

Let's play it.

Now, the inflatables there in Broadview, that was in Chicago, Illinois at the ICE detention center there.

I'll show you what it looks like in Portland, Oregon, as more and more inflatables continue to show up by the ICE detention facility there.

There was also like a nudist protest that took place yesterday.

Just a bunch of naked people showed up in their bicycles.

I'm not going to show you that image, okay?

But here are the inflatables in Portland here.

Play this clip.

On the National Guard, have you decided which city that you want to go into now?

Yeah, I have.

I have.

I'm not going to say it now, but yeah, I have.

We're going to go into another place and straighten it out.

And I will say this.

I watched today.

I didn't know that was continuing to go on, but Portland is unbelievable.

Now, before Donald Trump took off to the Middle East, he was driving around his golf course, looking a little bit cognitively addled, telling all his rich friends at his golf course yesterday on the taxpayer dime.

You know, he continues to go golfing during this government shutdown.

He was telling all his rich friends, he goes, you, I'm lowering your taxes, you.

Then he goes to his granddaughter.

He's like, you see, everyone's happy, honey.

You see, everyone's happy.

Yeah, tell that to the Americans who are psychologically tortured, living paycheck to paycheck, who can't afford their groceries right now while you pretend you defeated inflation when it's actually worse than ever.

Or Americans who can't afford their rent if they're lucky enough to have their mortgage, they are not able to afford that.

They're getting their health care ripped away while you subsidize billionaires, but refuse to extend the ACA subsidies to keep people's health care within some range that they could actually pay.

So while 20 million Americans are losing their health care, you give $20 billion to bail out Argentina.

Here's Donald Trump on his golf cart saying, you see, honey, everyone's so happy in my golf course.

Play this clip.

Thank you, everybody.

Thank you.

Your taxes are coming down.

See, everyone's happy, honey.

That's awesome.

We've done a good job.

It won't run through the nine halves.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump continues to congratulate himself.

Again, so unbecoming of a United States president.

He's congratulating himself and saying, he's reposting the Prime Minister of Israel, Netanyahu's post, give real Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize.

He deserves it.

And then Donald Trump posts this from Lord Conrad Black.

Because President Trump did it, there has been little recognition that this is the greatest diplomatic achievement in the Middle East since the founding of the state of Israel and is a gigantic step forward toward peace.

I've said this over and over again, folks.

It is a big deal.

Let's be real.

The fact that there is an opportunity for peace, sure, but this is a ceasefire.

It's not a peace deal.

We know that they have phase one, which they've described, but then they don't have phase two.

When Donald Trump was asked about a two-state solution, he said he doesn't even know what that is when he was asked at the end of last week.

So if you don't know what a two-state solution is, what happens after phase one?

And we've had multiple, dozens of ceasefires throughout the course of the history of that region.

So how about you actually do the thing?

Actually create a situation of stable peace versus announcing a deal or a phase one.

You know, one of the big issues I think that always exists with this Trump regime is that they always want to be applauded for the announcement of something or the phase one, right?

Or the way they always talk about it.

Yes, there was a productive framework for discussions.

Well, just do the damn thing, complete it, create the outcome, and then you can brag.

But to brag about the initial steps, it's like someone running a marathon and after the first mile wanting to be high-fived like they won the marathon.

Okay, you did a good mile.

That's good.

It's not a bad thing, but let's actually do the damn thing.

And I want to remind everybody as well that back in 2024, Donald Trump had told Netanyahu, do not do a ceasefire with Biden.

That will hurt me in the election, is what Donald Trump said.

So, how many thousands of innocent Palestinians died because Trump and Netanyahu also said, Let's hold off on this ceasefire until Trump is in office.

Just think about Trump undermining the foreign policy before at that period of time.

And then just also think about the countless innocent Palestinians who died as well.

And that Donald Trump wants like a high five right now.

I don't know.

Well, he's not even talking about what the actual two-state solution is going to be.

But folks, the fact that there could be a peace,

that's a good thing.

But let's actually see what freaking happens.

Because meanwhile, you have Hamas reasserting control over parts of Gaza not occupied by Israeli forces as the ceasefire takes hold amid continuing uncertainty about security in the territory if the group is disarmed if the group is disarmed if if so is there a plan to disarm Hamas is there let's ask the one of the leaders there and see I'm not gonna actually ask him but in an interview here's what was said by Sky News here play this clip now you're saying you don't want to and you will not disarm if you ask it directly, yes, we are not going to be disarmed as long as we are not sure that this will lead by any other means to have an independent self-severeign state which is able to defend itself.

Okay, so this is just one of those Trump announcements.

Let's wait until we see the outcome.

And with the braggadocious and the let's get the high fives, Again, again, that's like celebrating five minutes through the first quarter.

Like, what are you doing?

Act like a leader, act like a grown-up, behave with humility, right?

Remember, America was like, walk soft and carry a big stick, the big stick policy.

Donald Trump's like, just act like a maniac.

And then when you're really called out on it, you chicken out or you show your weakness.

Donald Trump, of course, was in Air Force One as he was heading to the Middle East.

And Donald Trump was asked,

so you previously said that Qatar funds terrorism and Hamas, and you said all these things about him.

Now you're giving them like an Air Force base in Idaho and you're saying all these great things.

Can you clarify here, play this clip?

They were very brave and their leader, the Emir, was very, very brave.

And Qatar should start getting some credit.

And you have to understand, they lived in the middle of everything.

So they can't just be like,

you couldn't do it.

Nobody, nobody could do it.

Say what?

Didn't they change their behavior from 2017 when you accused them of funding terrorism?

I don't know.

In 2017, I didn't really know them very well.

You know, 2017, that was at the very beginning of

my term.

As I got to know them, I got to understand them and I got to realize that they're in the middle of, they are right in the middle of everything.

Other countries are there, but they're an hour and an hour and a half away.

A big difference.

And Donald Trump said that Qatar is walking distance from Iran.

No, there's something called the Persian Gulf Gulf in between.

Also, Donald Trump just started,

he didn't recognize one of his close friend reporters, Dasha Burns, and he didn't even know who she was.

Just watch this moment, too, here, play this clip.

Politico, Dasha Burns, sir.

They've been so wrong about everything.

Politico.

No, no, Politico has been so wrong about everything.

Let's get somebody else to ask some questions.

You mind?

Is that all right?

Politico is fake news.

So while that was taking place, you have MAGA Republican Congress members like Thomas Massey and Marjorie Taylor Greene calling out the regime.

Thomas Massey says the following.

The surest way to screw up the world's best technical school is to let the feds tell them how to run it.

Congrats to my alma mater for turning down the bribe to let the executive branch dictate what happens on its campus.

A lot of things are wrong in it, but but MIT is not one of them.

Essentially, Massey leaving MAGA.

MIT has become the first school to reject the Trump regime's proposal that offered a select few universities preferential access to federal funds in exchange for agreeing to a set of demands.

And then Marjorie Taylor Greene said the following about the ICE raids against

migrants who are not criminals, who work in industries like construction and manufacturing.

Play this clip.

As a conservative and as a business owner owner in the construction industry and as a realist i can say we have to do something about labor and that needs to be a smarter plan than just rounding up every single person and deporting them just like that right so and i'm going to get pushback on that but it's i'm just living in reality from here on out yeah and if i'm

If anybody's mad at me for saying the truth, then I'm sorry.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, ladies and gentlemen, our next president.

Sorry, J.D.

Vance.

Well, I mean, people are saying it.

I go to dinner parties.

Yeah, I heard you.

Well, by the way, I heard you on Joe Roke.

So now, according to MAGA Republicans like Randy Fine, Marjorie Taylor Greene is now a rhino, as Akemian writes.

Ignore the rhino.

Deport every illegal.

You have a split, this

schism, if you will, taking place in MAGA.

Meanwhile, you have these images of MAGA Mike Johnson going up in cities across the country right now as MAGA Mike looks increasingly weak and pathetic.

You have CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin anxious that Wall Street is reliving the 1929 market crash under Trump.

I'm sure you've seen some of the videos that we've been doing our deep economic dives showing that it looks very 1929-ish here.

There There was that massive crypto liquidation event on Friday, and Donald Trump has structurally ripped to shreds some of the foundations of American

economic interests.

I mean, especially when he does things like this.

This is what was announced.

Did you catch this one?

That Baron Trump, if Trump is able to get TikTok, a TikTok subsidiary in the U.S., they want Baron Trump to be the leader of TikTok.

Baron Trump to be the lead.

Have we even heard this guy talk?

He's going to be the leader of TikTok.

It is what we've seen in the most failed kind of oligarchical countries.

Baron Trump, fantastic, ridiculous.

And then Donald Trump, of course, can't walk upstairs and he doesn't know how to close an umbrella.

This is him getting on the Air Force One yesterday.
