What are the major criticisms of Trump's recent actions?
Let's get right into it, folks, on the Midas Touch podcast. I want to remind you from the very beginning what it was that Donald Trump was saying repeatedly on the campaign trail that corporate media and propaganda promoted over and over again. He said that prices will start to decrease immediately on day one. Here's what he said. Play the clip. when i win i will immediately bring prices down starting on day one we will end kamala's war on american energy and we will drill baby drill we're going to drill i just want to come with receipts like this receipt over here and i could show you hundreds of clips like this where donald trump said that there would be peace in ukraine on day one he said specifically that he would bring putin
and Zelensky into a room together and they would have a deal within 24 hours. In fact, even before he took office, he said if he were to win the election, a deal would just be made during the transition period. Here, play it. You'll see the receipts.
And the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Yes. How would you do that? I know Zelensky very well. I'll end that war between those two countries in 24 hours. It won't even take that long.
Okay, well, let's look at headlines like this. Major trouble for Donald Trump in new polling. This comes from the Economist YouGov poll, which now has his approval rating dropping to 46%, which I still think is pretty high. And you're probably like, yeah, that's still a little too high. It should be noted, though, that this is still supposed to be the honeymoon period for someone because they literally just won. And they are pushing the propaganda like crazy. And it's not working. You know where he's losing a lot of support with? Actually, young people. About 37% now is what his approval rating is amongst young people. It's very, very low as young voters who he tricked are now saying, wait a minute, you literally just screwed us and you lied to us. This is the Wall Street Journal headline as well. Trump voters splinter over his rapid shakeup of Washington. And then there are quotes like this in this article. I feel so stupid, guilty, regretful, embarrassed. It's a huge one.
I am absolutely embarrassed that I voted for Donald Trump. Yeah, you should be. This is what Donald Trump was doing this past weekend. While there was horrific storms in Kentucky and Virginia and West Virginia, took the lives of at least nine or 10 people in Kentucky and our hearts go out to everybody there. Donald Trump was spending millions of dollars in taxpayer money going to the Daytona 500. This followed Donald Trump going to the Super Bowl. The prior week, he just goes to every sporting event now. he flies air force one around and he takes the motorcade around again wasting millions of taxpayer dollars while kentucky and west virginia virginia arkansas also tennessee were suffering and literally underwater trump took the motorcade and went around in circles on the track he was also posting all weekend things like this he who saves his country
violates no law, quote, attributed to Napoleon, which is an interesting photo and quote for him to pick. One, not just for its just reckless unlawfulness, but also as Donald Trump threatens Europe the way he does. There's an emergency meeting today in Europe called by French President Emmanuel Macron. to respond to the fact that Donald Trump has cut out Europe and Ukraine and is pursuing just direct negotiations with Sergey Lavrov and Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia. Russia's foreign minister Lavrov is there meeting with the United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio. And again, they're intentionally cutting out Europe and Ukraine who are impacted the most. And of course, This also follows a devastating appearance by the United States in Europe in the Munich conference where J.D. Vance attacked all of the European democracies. And then the Trump delegation tried to get Zelensky to sign a piece of paper turning over all of the rare earth minerals. in Ukraine to the United States and Donald Trump without any security guarantees.
