What does the Iran MOU signing mean for U.S. foreign policy?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump looked like death at the G7 in France. It was perhaps the most embarrassing performance by any United States president at an international event ever. Cognitively, physically deteriorating before our eyes, saying some of the weirdest oddest things to world leaders and some of the most dangerous things as well. He then went to Versailles where he signed the purported Memorandum of Understanding with Iran in Farsi, I might add, because we know Donald Trump speaks Farsi well. hearkening back to 1919 when the Germans signed the Treaty of Versailles, surrendering in World War I. We'll talk about that memorandum of understanding. He then returned back to Washington, D.C., where he kept on talking about the stock market and how he's pumping up the markets and how amazing everything is.

And meanwhile, he's got his propagandists continuing to post these images that aren't even the real images of the reflecting pool. The reflecting pool has just turned and has turned this week this Ninja Turtle green color. And now on top of it, because they poured so much hydrogen peroxide all over it, it's now caused the blue paint to kind of float to the top. And it looks like you have these like mutant stingrays swimming around the reflecting pool. with these algae mutant stingrays. I don't even know what we're even looking at. We'll talk about that, but it is the perfect metaphor and symbolism for the Trump regime, their coverup, their painted blue attitude, and just pretend everything is growing great while the American people are suffering, while our foreign policy is in shambles, while the United States is a laughingstock to the world that Donald Trump would always
Ben Meiselas 1:56
accuse others of making the United States. It really is now both a horror show and a laughing stock. And we will cover this and more, as well as thankfully, former President Obama and Michelle Obama spoke at the opening of the Obama Presidential Library. Because after all of this sludge and algae and grotesque thing that is this Trump regime, it wore my heart to remember what actual leadership looks like, decency, compassion, honor. We'll talk about that and more on this episode of the Midas Touch Podcast. Brett and Jordy, how are you guys doing? doing great good to be here ben good to be here jordan good to be here midas mighty thank you for tuning in if you're watching live and thank you for listening if you're listening on apple podcast or spotify or whatever audio podcast you're listening to thank you so much isn't it such a nice palette cleanser to see the obamas out there i mean i i think we need more of that quite frankly if i had one complaint about obama i want to see him out there more because every time i see him

He's like the hydrogen peroxide, so to speak, wiping away the infested algae that is- He's the nanobubbler.
He's the nanobubbler.

We'll get to that in a second. But it really is just so refreshing. You're like, oh yeah, that's how United States presidents speak. That's how things are supposed to be in this country. I think the whole notion of what they're doing with the reflecting pool, as you said, Ben, it really is a metaphor for the way Trump handles quite literally everything.

How did JD Vance's White House briefing impact public perception?

Ben Meiselas 3:29
But I think really the most important aspect about it is that if they're willing to lie about something so inconsequential, then of course we know they're going to lie about everything, just like they have lied throughout this entire war, just like they're even lying right now. They lied about the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding saying, that's not what the terms are at all. And then it comes out and it's like exactly what the terms are, like everyone's worst fears as to what was actually in this document is what was there. And then they just now try to relentlessly post online like, lethality, America only wins, another victory, flawless. And it's like, you lost, like you lost, just like stop.
Ben Meiselas 4:10
Like it makes you look weak. It makes you look insecure. It makes the whole country look like a joke.
