His behavior is getting more odd and deranged. I mean, just look at this guy right here. He's hiding during the middle of a government shutdown. He has ordered MAGA Mike Johnson to have all the MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives leave for yet another week. and go on a paid vacation? That's right, no House Republicans are showing up to work next week because Donald Trump and MAGA Mike Johnson told the House Republicans, don't come to work, we're giving you a paid vacation, go back to your district. All the while, Donald Trump is focused on making a $1 coin of himself to commemorate America's 250th anniversary, which, by the way, is not legal. It goes against 31 U.S.C. 5114B. Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities, but this isn't stopping the Trump regime propagandists like Steve Guest to say, attention all patriots, America's back, and so is the one dollar coin.

Donald Trump will forever be commemorated on American currency. He's putting his face on American currency. He's building 90,000 square feet golden ballrooms where no one even knows how the hell It's being funded. He's ripped apart the Rose Garden and turned it into a club called Club Rose Garden for his rich Republican friends. He's talking about UFC fights in the White House. He's bailing out Argentina with $20 billion of our taxpayer dollars. And he's bragging about removing funding, rescinding funding that by law is supposed to go to all of these states because he says they're Democrat states and they're scams. He says that this shutdown is a great opportunity for him to inflict pain on the American people.

He's like giddy. He's enjoying it. I mean, look at him.

Why is Trump being accused of hiding during a government shutdown?

Ben Meiselas 2:33
But he's in hiding. He doesn't want to show his face at the same time. I mean, he's posting photos and videos like this of the author of Project 2025 and the current Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vogt. You see him here? Trump's posting AI videos of Russ Vogt as the Grim Reaper stealing the taxpayer money, taking away services. I mean, I don't see the humor in that. He's posting photos of himself as the Grim Reaper. Donald Trump is posting on social media more ISIS-style death videos of the American military shooting boats off the coast of Venezuela. Donald Trump posts a boat loaded with enough drugs to kill 25,000 to 50,000 people. was stopped early this morning off the coast of Venezuela from entering American territory.
Ben Meiselas 3:33
We never get information about where the boat is. This boat looked very, very small. This one actually looked like a 16-footer. It looks like the boats are getting smaller with each of these death videos that he's posting. And we previously told you about what New York Times reported, how one of the family members of someone on another boat just said that their husband was a fisherman, not a drug dealer at all. We have no transparency about what the hell is happening here. And we know that Donald Trump lies about everything. And the most likely scenario is every week he kills another innocent group of people on a fishing boat, or even if they are drug dealers, Donald Trump's playing judge, jury, and executioner.
Ben Meiselas 4:13
How do you know they're not trafficking innocent individuals who you may be killing as well? I just want transparency, okay? We don't have the death penalty in the United States for people who deal drugs. I want people who deal drugs to be held accountable, the fullest extent of the law. I just don't think Donald Trump should be judge, jury, and executioner anyway. Take a look at these polls right here. A pretty clear story emerges. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eight or nine polls right now all show that Americans blame Trump and Republicans overwhelmingly for the Trump government shutdown.
