What did Trump announce in his recent press conference?
We've got a our economy locally in the long run we're already seeing inflation starting to surge let's just take a look at everything he's saying let's break it all down so donald trump is asked about rising prices the recent inflation numbers not good here's what donald trump says let's play it mr president because of these tariffs who do you think voters should hold responsible
Oh, I think what's going to go up is jobs are going to go up and prices could go up somewhat short term, but prices will also go down. And I think the farmers are going to be helped by this very much.
Prices will go up short term, but then they also will go down and farmers will be helped by this. I mean, if you know anything about Trump's recent history of tariffs, the farmers got absolutely screwed. There had to be subsidies paid to the farmers because it led to foreign countries not buying America. It's exactly what we're going to see again. We're already seeing farmers being screwed, not just in the form of Donald Trump's tariffs and the harm that that's causing, but by Donald Trump's destruction of government entities that help support farmers who voted for Donald Trump. I guess the leopards are eating their faces or they're effing around and finding out right now. Here, Donald Trump talks about prices going up.
It just may be a short term disturbance is what they say. Play this clip.
They'll do it without tariffs, and therefore prices won't go up. There could be some short-term disturbance, but long-term, it's going to make our country a fortune.
So Americans should prepare for some short-term pain?
No, you said that. I didn't say that.
But what if the prices go up?
Let's see what happens. Nobody really knows what is going to happen.
Now, this is at the same time the MAGA Republicans released their budget resolution. They are going to add $4.5 trillion in new deficits for Tax Writing Ways and Means Committee, $4 trillion debt limit hike. In addition, $880 billion in deficit reduction as it relates to energy and commerce. That means Medicaid cuts. $330 billion in deficit reduction for education committee. That means education cuts. $230 billion in deficit reduction for the agriculture committee. That means nutrition cuts. And then about a $4.5 to $5 trillion cut t trillion dollar tax cut for the billionaires so just so you know their priorities cutting medicaid by billions cutting education by billions cutting agriculture by billions but donald i thought you said you were helping the farmers and giving the billionaires 4.5 trillion dollars in tax cuts let's go back to more of the oval office developments um you had donald trump with
the leader of India Modi in the Oval Office. And Donald Trump has asked a question whether he thinks that USAID was interfering in the 2020 U.S. election and the 2024 India election or the 2024 election generally. Play this clip.
President Trump, first of all, congratulations for the fantastic 24 days of your presidency. Historic and unprecedented decisions that you made, transformational reforms. I'm particularly impressed by the expose on USAID. And I would like you to share with us if you think USAID had a role in election interference in the U.S. in 2020 and Indian elections in 2024.
So it could have had a role. There were a lot of bad things that happened in 2020. I think bad things happened in 2024, but it was too big to rig. We won by a tremendous margin. We won every swing state. We won the popular vote by millions of votes. So it was too big to rig. But yeah, I think they probably tried. We're looking to go to a system now, much different, where one day voting, voter ID, and we have to do that. And paper ballots. We want paper ballots. And when they do that, we're going to clean it up very, very well.
I want to call in my brother Brett right now. Jordy couldn't be on it today. Jordy's on daddy duty. You got me and Brett today. But, Brett, I think that shows, number one, you had the reporter manipulate him with flattery. And then number two posed just a ridiculously absurd question. You could have basically said, do you think that USAID was responsible?
