What did Trump say about Zelenskyy and Putin?
This is the Midas Touch Podcast. Let's get right into it. Earlier in the day, Donald Trump held a press conference in the Oval Office with UK's Prime Minister, Keir Starmer. Donald Trump was asked by a reporter if he still thinks Zelensky is a dictator, since Donald Trump's been repeating that over and over again while refusing to condemn Putin. Here's what Trump said.
President, do you still think that Mr. Zelensky is a dictator?
Did I say that? I can't believe I said that. Next question.
Did I say that? Either severe cognitive decline, gaslighting, or just being malicious. I think it is all of the above, by the way. Here's what Donald Trump wrote where he clearly calls Zelensky a dictator. It was in a social media post that Donald Trump made. Donald Trump is then asked, what would happen, Donald, if the UK would send peacekeeping forces into Ukraine and they were attacked by Russia? Would the United States help out its ally, the United Kingdom? Play this clip.
Just to follow up on that, if British troops are in Ukraine keeping the peace and get attacked by Russia, will you come to their aid?
If the British people are in Ukraine and they get attacked, you know, I've always felt about the British. They don't need much help. They can take care of themselves very well.
Then Donald Trump, while sitting next to Keir Starmer, UK's prime minister, was trying to say, look, this is a great relationship we have with the United States. And then Donald Trump, like bullies him and humiliates him or tries to humiliate him in front of the world press by saying, I think Russia's been acting very, very well, Kier. What do you think? What do you think is happening? Do you think, he goes here, he goes, Starmer, do you think the UK could take on Russia on its own? Here, watch this.
between our two countries. That is why this is the greatest alliance for prosperity and security I think the world has ever seen. Whenever necessary, we absolutely backed each other up.
Could you take on Russia by yourselves?
All right, one or two more. I mean, just absurd conduct there by Donald Trump. And then Donald Trump says that under no circumstances will Ukraine join NATO. And then Donald Trump blames Ukraine wanting to join NATO as the reason for Russia's unlawful invasion of Ukraine.
The Europeans want Ukraine to be part of NATO as part of this deal. Are you willing to budge on that at all, or is it a further... Well, I could be very nice and say, oh, well, we'll work to it.
Look, it's not going to happen. It's just not going to happen. That's what started this whole thing. And then...
Flashback, what, 24 hours? Donald Trump convened a cabinet meeting that was led by Elon Musk, not a cabinet member. Elon Musk wearing his dark MAGA hat and a T-shirt with a jacket over the T-shirt. And then Elon Musk was saying, you know, look, we're going to make mistakes at Doge. We're going to make the mistakes. Like, remember when we made the mistake recently about Ebola? And we fired the wrong Ebola people. I mean, by the way, also fired like people who work at our new over nuclear material. He fired critical people who were focusing on the avian flu. And he fired, you know, tens of thousands of government employees who worked hard and sacrificed for our government. But it's all one big joke for Elon Musk.
Like, what is this real? Just go to Doge.gov. Line item by line item, we specify each item. And I should say, also, we will make mistakes. We won't be perfect, but when we make a mistake, we'll fix it very quickly. So for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was Ebola, Ebola prevention. I think we all want Ebola prevention. So we restored the Ebola prevention immediately, and there was no interruption.
All you got to do is just go to doge.com. All you got to do is go to doge.com. I'm not going to testify. I'm not going to testify before Congress like I'm supposed to. But we may make mistakes like Ebola. It's a good joke, everybody. Good joke. I mean, what the hell are we watching? Let me bring in Brett and Jordy from the Midas Touch podcast.
