Why did Donald Trump appear fatigued during the UFC event?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump looked like death at his whatever you want to call the event was last night. Look at him with Dana White. Look at him as the national anthem was playing. He once again collapsed and fell asleep during the UFC fights that were taking place. It all went wrong for Donald Trump. He had to basically give up everything that he told the American people he wouldn't in order to secure a peace deal with Iran, a deal far weaker than former President Obama's JCPOA. Then you had the reflecting pool, which Donald Trump talks about all the time, turned a weird color like Ninja Turtle green. Not only was there algae, it was like the worst algae ever. Now, we predicted on the Midas Touch Network the algae would come back right away because the same water source of the Potomac Basin wasn't changed and they didn't really change the filtration system.
Ben Meiselas 1:01
But boy, that algae came back with vengeance and it looked worse than ever right now. So you had that going on. And then you just had this UFC event, which was odd. You had these UFC fighters. I don't know, they thought they were being funny. And they were like, Michelle Obama is a man. Like, it's not funny. The American people are suffering right now.

What went wrong for Donald Trump on his big day?

Ben Meiselas 1:27
I mean, we're dealing with issues of war and peace, life and death, and you have Donald Trump there sleeping during this bizarre UFC event. And, you know, earlier in the day, Donald Trump posted, he's like, we now have a peace deal with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz is open.

How did Trump's deal with Iran differ from previous agreements?

Ben Meiselas 1:46
And then like quite literally minutes later, he goes, I mean, the Strait of Hormuz will be open on Friday, but we're removing our blockade immediately. And as more details emerged of what went down, it seemed that M.B. Goluboff, Iran's parliament leader, had basically told Donald Trump that if you don't to allow us to have certain final terms in here that we want. You know, we're going to have no deal. We're not going to sign this. We know you want this signed like on your birthday. And then Donald Trump just basically gave into all of the terms as we're learning more about what was actually agreed to here. It seems that there's going to be at least $24 billion or so given to Iran pretty much up front.
Ben Meiselas 2:36
And then there's going to be potentially a $300 billion investment fund, a combination of equity investments, loans to Iran as well. It's being framed as like a Middle East investment fund. And then you have the United States basically agreeing to all of Iran's other terms. And by the way, I think that we should never have been involved in this unlawful and catastrophic war in the first place. between all options. I mean, we should never have been there, but I think that there should be a deal, and America needs to kind of get the hell out of here.

What unusual color did the reflecting pool turn during the event?

Ben Meiselas 3:12
I just think it's worth noting that Donald Trump had said, there's going to be regime change, and we're going to make sure that Iran gets rid of their nuclear dust. And based on the terms, Iran's allowed to enrich their uranium. They have to have it at a low grade, but they're allowed to in rich uranium forever. It's a weaker version of Obama's deal with weaker mechanisms of oversight, but that's basically what you got here. And you can tell, as I mentioned at the outset, Donald Trump had these deer in headlight looks. I'll show you right here just what he looked like, hat tip to the find folks over at call to activism which were able to get some shots so they put a hat on him in order to hide the fact that his eyes were shut like this was truly a weekend at bernie's moment here let's play this clip
Ben Meiselas 4:15
Because before that, he was falling asleep. Then someone had to put a hat on him to cover his eyes because he was so obviously sleeping. Here, play this clip.
Ben Meiselas 4:38
Then you had these UFC fighters getting saluted by our troops. Like why are UFC fighters being saluted? You have this guy, Josh Hokut, more on him in a second. These other fighters over here getting saluted. You see our service members saluting the UFC fighters. You had Hokut giving Donald Trump uh, the medal, like they have to give Donald Trump the medal when they win.
