This has been an absolutely disastrous Tuesday morning for Donald Trump, both on the domestic and international front. It's Veterans Day.

Why did Donald Trump skip a Veterans Day message and what did he post instead?

Ben Meiselas 0:08
Donald Trump has not posted a single Veterans Day message as of the recording of this video. Instead, he's posted on his social media that former President Barack Obama should be arrested. He's posted Trump prophecy conspiracy accounts on his social media. He's also made posts about something called Patriot Pinups, which involves half naked women dressed in American flag bathing suits. So that's what Donald Trump's doing on Veterans Day. But in the real world, Americans are suffering. Here's what we're learning about Donald Trump destroying Christmas. Expected Christmas spending among Americans in 2025 will be down 1.3% at least from the previous year. I think it will ultimately be down more than that as Americans have far less to spend.

We've been talking about the massive layoffs taking place in the United States right now, the worst layoff situation since the Great Recession at this point in time, and there's still more layoffs coming. in the next two months before the year ends. Let's talk about some foreign policy news this morning. We've now learned after an exclusive report by CNN that the United Kingdom has suspended sharing intelligence with the United States about suspected trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in United States military strikes. that it believes are illegal and that it believes are war crimes, sources tell CNN. So the United States is no longer getting intelligence from the United Kingdom about critical issues because the UK and other countries do not wanna be complicit in war crimes.

Also, you know how Donald Trump said that when he met with Xi Jinping of China, that China agreed to just release all of these rare earth elements, which they put export controls on under the Trump regime to retaliate against Trump's trade war against China and the rest of the world. Well, of course, what Donald Trump said is a lie. We're learning about additional types of export controls that China is putting on these rare earth elements. And specifically as the Wall Street Journal reports, Corporations in the United States that have relationships with the United States military, which includes lots of United States corporations, will likely be banned based on what Beijing considers validated end user systems to prohibit rare earth elements on certain of its export licenses.
Ben Meiselas 2:55
In other words, what Donald Trump was saying is full of crap. where these rare earth elements were coming in under former President Biden, the same way soybean farmers were able to freely sell their produce to China under former President Biden. That's no longer happening under Donald Trump. Also, in international news as well, Thailand has halted its ceasefire deal with Cambodia, which was previously heralded by Donald Trump. You know how Donald Trump goes, I stopped eight wars, I stopped seven wars. Well, they started because of your weakness in international affairs to begin with, and you haven't stopped these wars. Like one of the wars that Donald Trump claims that he stopped is he goes, I've stopped the war in Congo.
Ben Meiselas 3:39
No, you didn't. There are people who are dying there all of the time. Then he claims credit for wars that he had nothing to do with at all, or like wars that settled decades ago. I did that. I'm the reason for that. But in any event, what has happened in Thailand, you all remember when Donald Trump brought like the leaders of Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia together, and Trump's like, I did this. I stopped this. And he goes, China had nothing to do with it. When China was actually intimately involved in these discussions, Trump wanted to take credit for it without even recognizing the volatility of the region. Now, Thailand said that... It will be sending tanks and artillery to its border with Cambodia.
Ben Meiselas 4:23
It says there's no longer a ceasefire in place, and they've accused Cambodia of laying new landmines along its border with Thailand, which Cambodia denies that it's done.
