What recent events have caused Donald Trump to panic?
That right there is the face of a beaten and defeated man. Just look at MAGA Mike Johnson being hit with the ultimate karma he deserves heading into the midterms. Or take a look at Donald Trump in fear, in panic, as his regime is in collapse. And we have different cabinet members and top officials pointing fingers at each other. Kristi Noem blaming Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller blaming Kristi Noem. They're all leaking to corporate news and regime media. They're blaming the border patrol. It is utter chaos. And when Donald Trump's been giving speeches over the past 24 to 48 hours, he's really being hit by that instant karma. He's getting kind of fact-checked to his face. He had that disastrous appearance.
in Iowa, where there was someone there at this like diner where he was trying to stage this affordability event. And as Daniel Dale says, in an unusual moment, Trump was fact checked by a woman in the crowd at his Iowa speech yesterday who was on scene. Donald Trump said, I've lowered gas to $1.95 or $1.85 in Iowa. The woman shouted, no, you didn't. Gas is $2.63. Stop lying. It was $2.69 at the station right outside the venue, and the state averages $2.57. GasBuddy found just four stations out of 2,036 in the state were actually selling for under $2. He's just out there making things up, folks. One of the things to mention as well is that, so he did this speech in Iowa earlier in the week. Then he did the speech where he did like a speech with Nicki Minaj, the rapper, and then he handed her a gold card where she now gets to be like a citizen.
She was undocumented, but then she professed her love to Donald Trump and MAGA, and she was given a gold card. And the whole thing was really weird. And Donald Trump was like, Nicki Minaj has these great long nails and look at her. I want nails like that. But one of the things I want to focus on right now is that as the American people are struggling, as the American people are suffering, psychologically tortured, living paycheck to paycheck, if they're lucky enough to even have a paycheck right now, they can't afford homes, can't afford groceries. But inflation's rising. It's not dropping. Let's be very clear about that. And then Donald Trump's attacking the idea of low income housing as though low income housing is some sort of disease or plague.
And Donald Trump in the speech, he was attacking Governor Gavin Newsom of California and saying he was lying about like what Newsom's plans are. And Donald Trump's like, you can't ever put low-income housing in rich, wealthy areas that were burned down by the fires. You can't do that. And then Trump signed like a made-up executive order saying that the federal government is now taking over disaster relief in Los Angeles based on the fires from last January. And it's like, just give the disaster relief money, basically the $40 billion that's needed to rebuild these communities that the Trump regime is withholding. But instead of actually giving them money, Donald Trump is bashing the idea of low income housing in general, like low income housing, some horrible thing, even though that's not even what the plan is in Los Angeles and doing fake executive orders saying that he's going to be taking over Los Angeles.
and just give them money. Here's what Donald Trump said, though, where he said low income housing. This is like a horrible thing. Here, play this clip.
And I don't want a big section of the area built into low income housing. They want to put low income housing right smack in the middle of it. And that's not the American dream. You know, you didn't do that. And low income housing is great. I built a lot of low income housing, but you don't put it there. This is one of the richest neighborhoods in the world. And
Now, Donald Trump was also fact-checked by the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. And Jerome Powell made it clear that job gains have remained low, non-farm payrolls declined.
How is Trump being fact-checked in public appearances?
This is not good stuff. The economic data is horrible. Play this clip.
The unemployment rate was 4.4% in December and has changed little in recent months.
