Chapter 1: What legal troubles is Donald Trump's regime facing?
Not a good day, Donald. Your regime is facing criminal contempt in federal court right now after defying a federal judge's order to not send migrants to concentration camps in El Salvador. You've got Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman AOC drawing massive crowds in Idaho. Montana, Salt Lake City, they're all there booing you, Donald Trump, and cheering, tax the rich.
Want to know what else, Donald? Your tariffs are backfiring. You're crashing the economy. CEOs have zero confidence in you. And China is mocking you. They are posting these memes of you with your fat, stubby little fingers where they're saying, oh, look who holds the cards now. And they're not budging at all. As your chief propagandist, Caroline Leavitt, goes on Fox and says...
I am delivering a message on behalf of Donald Trump to Xi Jinping. Please give him a call. Please give him a call. But I guess for Donald and this deranged, demented regime of his, that means America is back. America is back, he says, as quite literally, I think we are in one of the worst economic periods and we're heading into an even worse economic period in the United States history.
But Trump's posting America's back. What, Donald? You don't think people can look at their life savings? You don't think they look at their 401ks? You don't think they can actually see the grocery prices going up or that housing is less affordable or mortgage rates are soaring? You don't think people recognize that?
You think everybody, Donald, has MAGA mush brain and gets their news from state regime media? No, Donald. People get their news from the Midas Dutch Network right now on YouTube. They subscribe here. They go to Midas Plus on our sub stack. This is the most watched news network in the world, Donald. Sorry about that. Take a look at what the Financial Times is saying.
Are they saying America is back? No, the Financial Times isn't saying that. Are they some lefty radical paper, Donald? Never thought of the Financial Times like that. Here's their headline. The economic consequences of a mad king. Trump's delight in doing whatever he wishes in the moment is incompatible with stability and sustained dynamism. Oh, I guess that means America's back Donald.
I don't think so. Here's what this article says. We know that nobody can be trusted with absolute power, least of all the demagogues who seek it. The one good thing Trump's trade policies are achieving is to demonstrate that yet again. The world's challenge is to survive the folly. The US's is to end it. That's how they're talking about you, you pathetic, vile piece of trash, Donald.
And I'm not going to hold back and mince my words about what we think about you here. Zero respect. You deserve none. as you send migrants to concentration camps and then claim that you won a Supreme Court order nine to zero when you lost.
And then you have Pam Bondi, your attorney general, have the audacity to say that Abrego Garcia's family is better off without their dad, that the kids are better off without their father, that the wife is better off without her husband who had no criminal history. Y'all are a bunch of sick, pathetic. I'll just leave that. Here's Pam Bondi, Donald Trump's attorney general. Play this clip.

Chapter 2: How are Trump's tariffs affecting the economy?
Kevin, I want to talk about what Jerome Powell did today. He essentially came out and said that these tariffs, which the Democrats are going to seize on, obviously, that the tariffs are going to, you know, likely to create some type of recession and that will hurt U.S.
growth forecasts going forward, which, I mean, there's a there's a obviously the Trump administration thinks the exact opposite about how these tariffs will work. But of course, that sent the market way down. And you can kind of see this little game playing out between Powell and the Trump administration.
Do you think the Trump administration needs to come out in a full-throated manner and refute what the Fed chair said today about an issue that is still number one on the minds of all voters now and will be on the midterms?
Well, what he said is hurting the economy. The market reacts to what he said. Now, he only has a short amount of time left in this job, and I think there's some excellent people who could take this job going forward. But remember what President Trump has already done, if you want to look at pure economics. He's getting people to invest billions of dollars in America because of his policies.
Yeah, what they're trying to do is Dr. Fauci, Jerome Powell. They're moving in that direction, right? Trump said with COVID like a miracle, it's all gonna go away. You know, there's nothing to worry about. And then they try to blame everything on Fauci. They're doing that with Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve. They wanna blame him and say his comments
talking about the reality of what's happening. Remember Trump said about COVID? You can't do testing. If you do the testing, if you don't do testing, you don't even know what's happening. That's what we want. So the fact that Chairman Powell is talking about what's actually happening, that is pissing Donald Trump off. Now,
i'll i'll leave you with this right here azalea banks uh who voted for trump uh singer songwriter trumper she this is what she said back on november 6 2024 lmao i lied i voted for trump yesterday Here's what she's saying right now. Okay, I think it's time for everyone who voted for Trump to admit that we made an effing mess. Like this is an absolute disaster.
He's so petty and vindictive right now, to be honest, rightfully so, but not when the well-being and livelihood of billions of people damn near the entire world lay in your hands. Someone needs to get him a cute little lower Zimprim and a high grade ashwagandha supplement because it can't happen like this. Nobody on earth is afraid of crazy old white man anger.
Old white men need to reinvent the archetype because it's too predictable. Like China is just dunking on him and everyone right now. That's what they're saying about Donald Trump. As the U.S. economic policy uncertainty index soars to record highs, as our markets, $1.5 trillion wiped off the United States market. Donald Trump looks like this with his orange face. And here's what China's posting.
