Chapter 1: What did Donald Trump post on Easter that sparked controversy?
Donald Trump spent the day yesterday roaming his Virginia golf course, wearing a hat that says Gulf of America and making demented post after demented post. Let me read for you what he was saying on Easter. Apparently, Donald Trump got jealous that Easter was getting too much attention and Donald Trump had to post the following. Since our announcement of Liberation Day, and he puts that in caps,
The sentence, if it were to be truthful, is the markets tanked, the dollar tanked. America has been put in a position where it's heading into a recession or something worse. But what did Donald Trump say? He said the following. Many leaders and business executives have come to me asking for relief from tariffs. It's good to see that the world knows we are serious because we are!
Yeah, Donald, I'm sure. Really serious people go around posting on social media in all caps how serious they are. Donald Trump continues to post. They must right the wrongs of decades of abuse, but it won't be easy for them. We must rebuild the wealth of our great country and create true reciprocity. Yes, Donald, reciprocity amongst the penguins.
Reciprocity amongst Madagascar and their chocolate, Donald. I mean, what in the world are you even talking about? America was the richest nation in the world by far. Under former President Biden, we had the fastest growing economy. GDP, we were producing the most oil here. We were energy independent. 16.2 million jobs were created. Record low unemployment, 40,000 infrastructure projects.
We were leading the world in green projects. We were taking the advantage and the initiative away from China. But you blew it all up, Donald, with all of your demented behavior, he continues to post. But for those who want the easiest path, come to America and build in America. Donald, if they come to America, what, you're going to send them to concentration camps in El Salvador?
Come to America, what, where there's no habeas corpus or due process anymore under your authoritarian regime? What, come to America where you and your regime extort our allies and treat allies worse than adversaries? Where you cuddle up to Vladimir Putin? Where you roam your Virginia golf course on Easter wearing ridiculous hats that say Gulf of America? It's idiotic.
Donald Trump then posts the following non-tariff cheating. One, currency manipulation. Two, value added taxes, which act as tariffs and export subsidies. Three, dumping below cost. Four, expert subsidies and other government subsidies. Five, protective agriculture standards. Wah, wah, wah. Donald, we understand issues that affect global trade.
If you want to address it intelligibly, then perhaps that's what you should have done. Instead of calling reciprocal tariffs what you did and then using a formula that uses deficits and then incorrectly uses that formula to attack every country in the world with a trade war where you're now getting utterly outmaneuvered by everyone.
Then Donald Trump posts this photo of Judge Boasberg in Washington, D.C., the federal judge who initiated contempt proceedings against the Trump regime. Trump posted a photo of Boasberg in this article that says, Judge who blocked Trump deportations took junket to event with anti-Trump whatever. And I opened it up. And I'm like, OK, what are they attacking Judge Boasberg for?

Chapter 2: How is Donald Trump's economic and trade policies critiqued?
This time, the New York Times and all of their fake news that repeat their garbage are enthusiastically taking the grievance of disgruntled former employees as the sole source for their article. They relied only on the words of people who were fired this week and appear to have a motive to sabotage the secretary and president's agenda. So they're doubling down, tripling down.
all in on Pete Hegseth and sending our war plans via text message, what, to his wife, to his brother, and to others, and then blaming disgruntled employees. Trump people, Hegseth's crew, this is Hegseth's team who's giving this information out.
But if you listen to what Apollo, what the private equity firm Apollo is saying right now, they're referring to the Trump recession as a voluntary trade reset recession. That's what they're referring to, the Trump recession. Could you imagine what they would be saying right now if former President Biden was in charge? It is so utterly, utterly pathetic. But let me all show you this right here.
This is from Charlie Angus, former Canadian member of parliament, a good friend of mine now, a leader of the Canadian resistance. Here's what he had to say. Play this clip.
I think what's really concerning is that. An idiot like Trump. has been allowed to monkey wrench the global economy without anybody stepping in and saying, whoa, Donald, what the heck are you doing?
When we see him tariffing poor Madagascar because Madagascar doesn't buy enough product from the United States, Madagascar is too poor to buy product from the United States, but they offer Americans cheap chocolates. Donald Trump picks a fight with them. The on again, off again tariffs in terms of auto, nobody even knows where that stands.
Right now, South Dakota is freaking out, North Dakota, the farmers in Montana, because you have an integrated border in terms of ag trade, $70 billion. All that's in chaos right now. I think he's pushing us towards a major, definitely an American recession, probably a global recession and maybe a depression if he doesn't step back. But it's up and down.
And the thing that really strikes me about Trump and his crew is a really, really tough until you stand up to them and then they blink. And that's certainly what's happened with Canada and Canada has been very strong. And then they come back at it a second and a third time. The feeling I'm getting from Canadians is they don't care what Trump does next. We're going to do what we're going to do.
We're looking to rebuild our economy. And we're going to do it without our former ally, our former friend, our former partner. We're going to have to take steps that we're going to take because we simply cannot trust the American regime anymore.
