That's MantisX.com. So Donald Trump just initiated a trade war with China.
He says he wants to occupy Gaza. Right now, all parcels inbound from China are not being allowed into the United States per the U.S.
Postal Service. Donald Trump has offered buyouts to get rid of the entire CIA.
He's gutted the entire FBI counterterrorism division and continues to fire more FBI agents. At the same time, his Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with the leader of El Salvador, talking about shipping American citizens to prisons in El Salvador.
And then you have Vladimir Putin just mocking the United States and also mocking Secretary of State Rubio's statements that he doesn't want to see the United States as one of the main powers. Rubio says he sees this as a multipolar world where China, Russia, and U.S.
may play a role. If you add all of this together, the playbook seems fairly obvious about what would you do to try to destroy the United States of America.
This is not something, whether you are a Republican or Democrat or independent from a red state or a blue state, you should be horrified by this. Donald Trump's government freeze of funds, although they claim that it's actually not frozen, it's affecting red states more than it's even affecting blue states, but it's affecting everybody in the country.
Donald Trump is destroying, if not as totally destroyed by now, USAID, which provided billions of dollars abroad as part of America's soft power leadership to help countries, to help others, and to thereby help America's national security. Donald Trump is next going to be gutting the Department of Labor.
So great work to the leader of the Teamster, Sean O'Brien, who took all of those photos with his thumbs up with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago and said, Trump's going to be good for labor. Donald Trump's about to destroy the entire Department of Labor.
Donald Trump also said today he's destroying, or yesterday he said he's destroying the Department of Education, and he wants Linda McMahon, who hasn't even been confirmed yet, her first act to be to totally gut and destroy the Department of Education. And again, red states depend far more than blue states on Department of Education funds.
But this is the havoc that Donald Trump is causing. Oh, and by the way, while all of that is going on, Donald Trump has revoked the temporary protected status of Americans who relied on it, like 600,000 Venezuelans.
We know the Venezuelan community were big Trump supporters, and now Donald Trump cut a deal with Nicolas Maduro, the totalitarian dictator of Venezuela, who seized power despite losing the election. Sound familiar? Where Trump's going to revoke the temporary protected status of Venezuelans, for example, in Southern Florida, who supported Donald Trump, who are big Trump supporters.
He's going to take him and either send him to concentration camps at Guantanamo Bay or send him back to Maduro. Maduro will probably kill them and torture them.
The leopards are eating your faces. By the way, this is Susie Wiles, Donald Trump's chief of staff.
You see her face right there? That's the face of many a Donald Trump chief of staff and advisor. When Donald Trump said he was going to occupy Gaza, send U.S.
forces for a permanent occupation. Donald Trump said he wants to level it, destroy it.
And then he says he's going to take Palestinians and just put them in other places, to which even in Saudi Arabia, they had to respond at 4 a.m. in the morning.
And they said, yeah, that's not happening. We will not have any relations with Israel until Palestine is recognized as a state.
But Donald Trump was acting as Benjamin Netanyahu's butler during Benjamin Netanyahu's visit. By the way, even Netanyahu was uncomfortable visually standing next to Donald Trump as Donald Trump was saying the quiet part out loud.
And Netanyahu's like, I think he's even going a little too far with what you're saying, Donald. But this is the psychopath running the United States of America right now and destroying our strength.
Let me just show you this. This is Donald Trump serving as Benjamin Netanyahu's butler.
Let's play this clip right here. As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski said, I guess, what's the best way to distract from just losing your trade war or your threatened trade war against Mexico and Canada the day before? Oh, well, why don't you say your next move for your next act, you're going to level Gaza and have a United States military occupation of Gaza.
Because by now, the truth is out. And I think one of the main reasons the truth is out is thanks to platforms like ours that said that Donald Trump's deals with Canada and Mexico for Donald Trump's threatened tariffs were fake deals.
Canada already had $1.3 billion in border security plans months ago. They didn't give Donald Trump anything.
Well, they said they'll maybe have a fentanyl czar. Donald Trump went from threatening to take the sovereignty of Canada and to conquer it and make it the 51st state.
Okay, I'll settle for a, you want to give me a fentanyl czar and the same thing that you were doing months ago under Biden and that you then re-announced a month ago or two? Yeah, let's do that. Then when it came to Mexico, Donald Trump agreed to have Mexico put 10,000 troops at the border.
Mexico already has like 15,000 troops. So Trump agreed to less troops at the border by Mexico.
And Donald Trump also agreed with respect to Mexico to impose an obligation on the U.S. to look at and investigate United States gun shipments into Mexico.
So Mexico got the better of that negotiation. Anyway, here is Donald Trump at this press conference with Netanyahu yesterday saying the U.S.
is going to take over Gaza. We'll level it.
We'll own it. Here, play this clip.
The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too.
We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site. Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings.
Level it out. create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.
Do a real job, do something different. Just can't go back.
If you go back, it's going to end up the same way it has for a hundred years. Sign up for something, forget about it after the trial ends, and suddenly you're getting charged month after month for a service you don't even use.

He was out there saying, look at what I said. I said, we're going to conquer Gaza.
America will occupy it. And then you got all of these comments like impeach button, unlimited jobs and housing.
People just don't listen to what this man says, do they? So we're just admitting we're going to invade places. Now, this is people on Trump's Instagram right here.
Old man couldn't tell the difference between the Gaza Strip and a bacon strip. I guess no more lower grocery prices.
Level it out. WTF do you mean right there? And then again, even Trump supporters were like, OK, can you do the lower grocery prices things? All the prices are going up, up, up.
And as I said before, Donald Trump is a WMD, a weapon of mass distraction. But you got to take this stuff seriously.
He's threatening to occupy Gaza. And when Donald Trump engages in this WMD, weapon of mass destruction, he is harming our national interest too.
In Canada, they're still going to be boycotting American products. Canada's pissed at Trump in America right now.
They're betrayed. What do you think is going to happen abroad right now? As the Patriot takes account, says, parents, your children can now sign up to clear bombs in Gaza.

This is who will lead them.

And this is the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host who's the person in charge of our nuclear arsenal. As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski writes, I'm sure Americans at home and abroad all feel safer tonight now that Donald Trump announced with Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S.
is going to take over Gaza, level all the buildings, and forcibly remove the population. You might want to cancel your vacation plans you may have had to Europe.
And by the way, let's not forget that there were two plane crashes last week. Donald Trump gutted basically the FAA leadership.
He's gutted essentially all of the federal government. Oh, and let's not forget as well that Elon Musk has put 19 and 20 year olds-olds controlling our Treasury Department, seizing control over the payment transaction system with all of our private information from Social Security data to bank account information to medical information, in my opinion and in the opinion of multiple class action lawsuits that have now been filed in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974.
As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, writes, we were warmongers for wanting to help our ally Ukraine fend off Russian barbarian hordes seeking to murder and enslave them. But Trump, their peacemaker, wants to occupy Gaza and take long-term ownership of it for the U.S.? Are you kidding me? Unfortunately not.
Even Russian state media is mocking Donald Trump right now. Here's what they're posting.
And American Gaza is still American first, America first, Israel second, Israel first, America second. A complete fantasy.
Our enemies are mocking us. Our allies are a combination of horrified and disgusted.
But what was Donald Trump talking about? While Donald Trump removed the security details of his own former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, I hope you're listening, Marco Rubio, and his own former National Security Advisor, John Bolton, who have credible threats against their lives by Iran. What Donald Trump was also fixated on today was if Iran were to try to assassinate him, Donald Trump says he left a note to obliterate them.
Here, play this clip. I'm happy to sign it if it's Iran and their proxies who threaten to retaliate against you and your team by killing you guys or taking out Soleimani.
Well, they haven't done that. And that would be a terrible thing for them to do.
Not because of me. If they did that, they would be obliterated.
That would be the end. I've left instructions.
If they do it, they get obliterated. There won't be anything left.
And they shouldn't be able to do it. And Biden should have said that, but he never did.
I don't know why. Lack of intelligence, perhaps.
But he never said it. If that happens to a leader or close to a leader, frankly, if you had other people involved also, you would call for total obliteration of a state that did it.
That would include Iran. And here's Donald Trump talking about those 19-year-old engineers who are working at Doge.
Play this clip. Some of these Doge engineers that Elon Musk has helping him are as young as 19 years old.
That's good. They're very smart, though, Peter.'re like you.
They're very smart people. Thank you.
Has he, have you met any of these guys? No, I haven't seen them. They work actually out of the White House.
They're smart people, unlike what they do in the control towers where we need smart people. We should use some of them in the control towers where we were putting people that were actually intellectually deficient.
That was one of the qualifications is you could be intellectually deficient. No, we need smart people.
Some are young and some are not young. Some are not young at all.
And folks, now we're seeing places like the Waffle House and others charging 50 extra cents per egg because of the Trump egg price spike, because right now all prices are going up, up, up. It's less affordable for you to buy a home.
Homes are more expensive. Prices are going through the roof.
And now apparently you can't even receive packages from China. So Donald Trump just destroyed so many people's businesses who rely on drop shipping.
And also, we're not going to be able to get packages from China anymore. I mean, just think about how Donald Trump's intruding and ruining and destroying actively people's lives right now.
But the MAGA people, the MAGA congressmen and women, they're into it. Nancy Mace is like, let's turn Gaza into Mar-a-Lago.
This lady, Chaya Raichik, who runs libs of TikTok or whatever they call themselves, call it the MAGA strip. And all these MAGA people are like, MAGA strip.
We love it. MAGA strip.
Folks, hang in there. We got a lot to, we're reporting on a lot,

but that's all that happened.

That's what's happened over the past 12 hours, 24 hours.
