Chapter 1: Why is Donald Trump panicking on Monday morning?
Donald Trump is panic posting on Monday morning. He's attacking pollsters since Donald Trump's polls are the lowest in modern presidential history. They're actually the lowest going back probably about 80 years. He refers to pollsters whose polls he doesn't like as, and this is a direct quote, negative criminals. He then calls them frauds.
He says they are sick and that they are truly the enemy of the people and implies that they need to be imprisoned. So as Donald Trump's first post this morning, he then interferes with Canada's election today. and asserts that Canada should be the 51st state. Again, he talks about annexing and conquering Canada. And he says that he should be Canada's leader, implying that they should vote for him.
I mean, this is the most despicable election interference imaginable. And it's just embarrassing and humiliating. Donald Trump trying to make Canada's election all about himself today. Donald Trump posts the following. Good luck to the great people of Canada.
elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power for free to the highest level in the world, have your car, steel, aluminum, lumber, energy, and all other businesses quadruple in size with zero tariffs or taxes if Canada becomes the cherished 51st state of the United States of America. No more artificially drawn line from many years ago.
Look how beautiful this landmass would be Free access with no border. All positives with no negatives. It was meant to be, exclamation point. America can no longer subsidize Canada with the hundreds of billions of dollars a year that we have been spending in the past. It makes no sense unless Canada is a state. I'm sorry, Canada.
I mean, this is some of the most despicable behavior imaginable right here. And it just goes to show you just, again, how immature Donald Trump is as well, and how vile and dangerous he is. And of course, everything he's saying here is false and fraudulent. I mean, Donald Trump has taken a wrecking ball to the United States, and Donald Trump wants to see Canada destroyed.
And the fact that Donald Trump wants to make Canada's election about himself is just... Again, there's really no words for it other than it's just it's humiliating for the United States. So then Donald Trump sends out his Treasury Secretary Scott Besant for this interview on Fox.
Brian Kilmeade this morning asks Scott Besant, Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary, if he's worried about empty shelves in stores since shipping from China has essentially come to a halt. And since products are not reaching the United States of America, listen to what Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says in his typical arrogant and smug way. Play this clip.
Currently right now, are you worried about empty shelves? Because they say that a lot of these supply lines and the cargo ships are being held up. A lot of people are saying, turn it around with the tariffs this high. I don't want the product. Are you worried about empty shelves?

Then Donald Trump's chief propagandist talks about having 18 written trade proposals. There's no holdup. Even though we said 90 deals in 90 days, we now have 18 written trade proposals here. So things are moving smoothly here. Play this clip.
You guys have at least 18 written trade proposals. We still don't know who they are from or what they contain. What is the holdup with that?
There's no holdup. We're working around the clock. The trade team is working all day. I was on the phone late last night with... Secretary Lutnick, I was on the phone this weekend as well with Secretary Besson. I mean, the entire team is working 24-7 to get these trade deals done. And I think you'll be hearing more about them this week.
I don't want to get ahead of the trade team or the president in announcing potential deals, but certainly I can assure the American public that this administration is full speed ahead in cutting good and fair trade deals on behalf of the American worker.
But Caroline, didn't Donald Trump say in the Time magazine interview
