How did Trump's surrender to Iran spark panic among his cabinet and MAGA allies?
Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are in full terror after Donald Trump surrendered to Iran. As I noted earlier, Donald Trump is no longer even trying to do a deal with Iran and the United States. Instead, Donald Trump's latest threats are, Iran, you've got to make a deal with Oman or else. And then we're going to take credit for that deal because Trump is incapable of making a deal. Americans did not want to be involved in this catastrophic war ever. Donald Trump promised it was going to be a complete victory, despite the fact that Americans did not want to be in this catastrophic war. And America saw the entire country put through a daily humiliation ritual as Donald Trump would threaten war crimes on Iran, then back out, threaten war crimes in Iran and back out, and threaten more war crimes and back out.
And now our economy is suffering. Trump, though, continues to manipulate the markets. And MAGA Republicans are out there in panic mode. I'll show you. I mean, you got Trump cabinet members right now, like Brooke Rollins. You know, she's out there in Minnesota. And she's like, we delivered. We got rid of the crazy woke, huh? We got rid of the crazy woke, huh? We anti-woke. I'm This is what you're doing right now with everything that's going on right now. We've got rid of the ain't working there. Brooke here, play this clip with my boss, president Trump.
And what he was trying to figure out was if we've got a, we got a, we got a, we got to deliver on our promises. We promised a smaller government. We promised to deregulate. We promised tax cuts. We promised to get rid of all the crazy woke.
And then she was like, hey, everybody, give us applause because Trump has done more for farmers than anybody. Well, maybe he's done more bailouts for farmers after bankrupting the farmers, but this is what the Trump administration officials are doing now. Here, play this clip.
And the biofuels industry has never had a bigger backer, a more vocal backer than my boss, President Donald Trump. This spring he announced, I think this may be due for another applause, this spring he announced the highest renewable volume obligation, RVOs, in the history of the program. How about that, y'all? That's a big deal for this state, a big deal.
Then they send out Dr. Oz and Dr. Oz is like, when I'm lying to you and you know I'm lying to you and I know that you know I'm lying to you and on and on and on, that's how countries collapse. Yeah, we know that's what's happening.
Here, play this clip. Texas, I think there's a bigger problem here. And this is not fraud, waste, and abuse by itself. This is corruption on the underlying system.
What examples of Trump administration messaging reveal a pattern of overpromising and backing down?
When you corrupt the practices that rot out the foundation of the boat that we're all in together, and we start taking on water, we can start pointing fingers. But when everyone is doing it, which is maybe the most important quote from this press conference, not said by any of us up here, that's a real pathology. Because then if you're not... part of the corrupt system, you're a fool. When I'm lying to you and you know I'm lying to you and I know that you know that I'm lying to you and on and on and on, that's how countries collapse. Thank you all.
And then you have MAGA Republican senator, don't let him even consider, call himself a centrist, John Cornyn, say there's nothing that he and the GOP can ever do for survivors. And yes, they didn't want Todd Blanche confirmed because he's covering up the Epstein files. And then he further tormented them. But Cornyn's like, There's nothing we can do. Yeah, we know because you're all part of the Epstein class. You are involved in the coverup of the child sex trafficking ring by not releasing the Epstein files and confirming Blanche, in my opinion. Here, play this clip right here.
Senator, your Democratic colleagues seem to think that this...
Yes, on plant. It's going to have a chilling effect on survivors of sexual assault and things like that. What's your response to them? They were frustrated that you didn't meet with them in person, too.
