Donald Trump's first press conference in the Oval Office went off the rails very quickly. This was supposed to be a press conference with leaders in artificial intelligence to have them kiss the ring. It quickly devolved into Donald Trump talking about how rich they are and
how he thinks it's okay for him to continue to sell meme coins because the other billionaires with him in the Oval Office, they're very rich. Donald Trump went on to make a bunch of other attacks on Canada. Let's just go through what went down. Again, I'm not going to show any video or audio of Donald Trump. We don't do that here. But I will describe what went down.
We'll show some graphics and we'll take you through this disastrous press conference. So Donald Trump was asked, look, you've made all of this money on crypto and selling meme coins. Are you going to stop doing it? And Donald Trump said, no, why would I? How much did I make? To which the reporter then respond, you've made several billion dollars selling these meme coins already.
in the event leading up to the inauguration. And then Donald Trump looked at the other oligarch billionaires in the Oval Office and said, that's peanuts for these guys pointing at the tech billionaires. Then Donald Trump was asked, well, you didn't bring peace to Ukraine in 24 hours like you promised. What are you going to do? To which Trump said, I've asked President Xi Jinping to get it settled.
Huh? Donald Trump saying that he's now delegating the deal to bring peace to Ukraine to Xi Jinping in China? That's as weak and pathetic as you get. And I guess that's how Donald Trump and MAGA is tough on China. Donald Trump then talks about the spending bill that he wants the House of Representatives to pass.
And he said before it was going to be difficult, but now we're going to use Los Angeles as a bargaining tool. We will deprive, this is what he says, we're going to deprive Los Angeles of aid unless Democrats agree to everything we want in the spending bill so we can get rid of the debt ceiling and we can push through all of our priorities for the billionaires and the oligarchs.
So when Trump was asked about the spending bill, he goes, it has now been made much easier much simpler by Los Angeles because they are going to need a lot of money. And you'll find a lot of Democrats are going to be asking for help. So I think maybe that makes it more one-sided.
