What recent events have escalated the crises under Trump's regime?
Welcome to the Midas Touch podcast. We have a lot to discuss. You had the opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, visiting the White House today. The meeting took place in private, but she did confirm she gave Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, the actual medal. You can't actually confer the prize itself.
How did Maria Corina Machado's meeting with Trump unfold?
donald trump posted on social media it was my great honor to meet maria karina machado of venezuela she's a wonderful woman who has been through so much maria presented me with her nobel prize for the work i have done such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect thank you maria And earlier in the day as well, you had the Trump regime confirm that Donald Trump still doesn't feel that Maria Karina Machado should be the leader of Venezuela, that she's weak, that the people there don't respect her. And while she gave him the Nobel Prize, which you're not actually allowed to confer, it's just such strangeness taking place in Washington, you see dangerousness taking place. Compare that to what's going on in Mar-a-Lago.
I mean, does it get more dystopian than this? At Mar-a-Lago, it's like eyes wide shut. It seems that eyes wide shut may have been about like Donald Trump and Epstein. I mean, they have these people wearing dog masks dancing, having this lavish ball. They love ballrooms, apparently, like while the American people are suffering right now, living paycheck to paycheck, if they're lucky enough to get a paycheck and being psychologically tortured by that is health care is being ripped away. from the American people. That's what's going on at Mar-a-Lago. I don't know if that's a furry party or what in the world is even going on there. I think there were some claims that it's a dog charity thing, but we know how Trump and his kids have handled dog charities before.
Hasn't ended well, same way the other Trump charities haven't ended well. The American people are sick of this. Absolutely sick of this. You take a look at the latest real clear politics polling average. Donald Trump dropped, what, like four plus points just over the past week. This is the full average of polls. I mean, most polls have him at 37 to 41% right now. If you aggregate them all, including the right-leaning ones, he's about a negative 12.3%. I think people just despise what this regime is doing. Oh, by the way, since we're on the topic of talking about Venezuela, where do you all think that the oil money the purported oil money is going, that Donald Trump is extracting from Delcy Rodriguez, the authoritarian from Venezuela, who's now leading Venezuela.
Where do you think it's going? The Treasury Department? For the taxpayers, American banks? Do you think that's where it's going? No. The deal that Donald Trump struck with the authoritarian Delcy Rodriguez and hat tip to Semaphore and Shelby Talcott and Ben Smith for their great reporting here, the money is being moved to a bank account in Qatar. Yes, Qatar that bought the 747 jet for Donald Trump, that Donald Trump and Jared Kushner are in business with, that invests in Kushner's fund, that Qatar, who bailed Kushner out of his real estate deals back during the first Trump administration, that's where the oil money's going, to Qatar in a bank account there. And meanwhile, you have all of these countries
in Europe and Canada, by the way, as well, sending their special forces right now to Greenland, and they're doing military exercises there with Germany, France, Sweden, of course, Denmark, Canada, and others, sending special forces to Greenland to prepare for a possible invasion by the United States. Caroline Levitt was asked about this. Well, is that going to deter Donald Trump from trying to acquire Greenland or invade Greenland? The fact that we're even having this conversation right now is utterly insane. And she said, no, why would that deter us at all that Europe is sending their army here? And you know who's loving all of this? And let me turn it over to Brett and Jordy, Vladimir Putin, because what are we not talking about?
And who else is loving it?
