Well, folks, I guess Donald Trump was not done embarrassing himself and his entire regime today. He decided to hold one more press conference later in the day. What a complete and utter mess this one was. And it followed utter disastrous press conferences earlier in the day here. Donald Trump brags about going to Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. And he goes, this will be a great trip. Some of you will be joining me. It should be noted that Donald Trump has personal deals to enrich himself with all of these nations. Let's play the clip.

OK, thank you very much. I want to thank you. So we're going to be having some conferences next week. I'll also be going to Saudi Arabia. other places, going to UAE and Qatar.

Now, although no media pointed it out during the press conference, we did. At the Midas Touch Network, our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, wrote the following. Dubai has partnered with Trump Org to build a luxury hotel there. Saudi Arabia is building a residential tower there with him. Qatar is developing a Trump golf resort there with him. Eric Trump just flew to the UAE to pitch new deals to them. Also, Abu Dhabi is using Trump crypto as part of their sovereign wealth fund, further enriching the Trumps to the tune of billions of dollars. Next up, Donald Trump is asked about tariffs on pharmaceuticals. And once again, Donald Trump says, I will know more in two weeks. Just give me two weeks. So yes, folks, two weeks strikes again.

Here, play this clip. So it's just one of those things. Yeah, please.

Mr. President, on the pharmaceutical side, have you made any determination on kind of what those tariff rates may look like and the timing of those tariffs?

We have had this crazy system in the United States where American pharma manufacturers in the United States are put through the ringer with inspections. And the foreign sites get off easy with scheduled visits while we have surprise visits in the United States. Well, a scheduled visit is no inspection. So we are at the FDA delivering on this promise in the president's executive order and switching from announced to surprise inspections overseas. We're also not going to have our inspectors hanging out for three or four weeks. They're going to get in and out and we're going to do more inspections with the same resources as a result.

When are we all just going to realize that this is a rug pull presidency? Donald Trump is a Ponzi schemer. In his life, he's a fraud. He's a felon. He's a bankruptor. He's a sexual abuser. He's a destroyer, not a builder. And you're seeing now why he bankrupted his casinos in Atlantic City, why he bankrupted so many countries and why or companies and and I suppose countries. And now why Donald Trump is bankrupting our country before our eyes. Next up, a reporter asked Donald Trump if.
