Because he is crashing out today. It is ridiculous. But before I show you how he's crashing out, and it should be taco day rather than hamburger day, okay? Before I show you how Donald Trump is crashing out, I just want to, I said that every single time I had the opportunity, Every single time I had the opportunity, what I am going to do is show you what a grifter Donald Trump is, because that should be the lead story. Every single program, every single news story, every single broadcast is how Donald Trump and his family are profiting off the presidency of the United States and off of your back. Sesame Street. This is what I'm going to show you is from 2005. Sesame Street knew Donald Trump was a grifter.
As a matter of fact, they called him Donald Grump. And I want you to watch out for a cameo appearance by someone you will definitely know. And then we're going to get to the taco crash out tantrum of it all today at the White House. But first, how Donald Trump is a grifter. Here it is.
I'm Donald Grump, and I have more trash than all of you, so... Back it up, because he says, I am Donald Grump. Back it up. I'm Donald Grump, and I have more trash than all of you, so... I'm looking for an apprentice.
Huh?
A helper.
Ah!
I got so much trash, I need somebody to help me sort it. And whoever I pick to be my helper gets to keep some of my very own trash. Of course, I'll still have more trash than you do. So, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, I want some of that trash, so pick me.
No, no, no, pick me.
Oh, quiet!
Hey, the first thing I want to say is, uh, Omagrosa, Swampy? Yeah? Spam, you're fired. What? Hired? What does that mean?
That means you don't get to be my helper.
Aww.
Well, wait a minute, wait a minute. You can't fire them. They haven't done anything. They just did.
Ha ha ha. Omagrosa. Oh my gosh, no wonder he hates Sesame Street. No wonder he's going after PBS. Come on, I'm a grosser. I'm Donald Grump. I still have more trash than you. Okay, something very similar today happened at the White House. OK, so we told you apparently Donald Trump needs to they need to start tuning in the folks at the White House. And I told you I should be in that briefing room. They need to start tuning in to the Don Lemon show, because didn't we tell you about this whole taco thing that as it relates to taco trade, as it relates to Donald Trump, how he he imposes tariffs and then he waits and waits and waits and sees what happens. And then he relents and the markets go back up. Have you guys seen that?
