Donald Trump returned to Washington, D.C. after that disastrous speech he gave before the United Nations in New York. And this is what Donald Trump saw when he landed in Washington, D.C., right in front of the Capitol building in the Washington Mall, a spray painted bronze statue titled Best Friends Forever, showing Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands. It was placed right there in the National Mall in front of the U.S. Capitol. Capitol. Capitol early on Tuesday to greet Donald Trump when he returned from New York.

What controversial statue greeted Trump on the National Mall?

It's an honor of friendship month. Um, it says we celebrate the long-lasting bond between Donald Trump and his closest friend, Jeffrey Epstein. And then it has the birthday card that Donald Trump sent to Epstein. There must be more to life than having everything, than on Jeffrey Epstein's statue, where it's Holding hands with Donald Trump. Nor will I, since I also know what it is. Yes, we do come to think about it. As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you. And then Donald Trump statements. Yes, there is, but I won't tell you what it is. We have certain things in common, Jeffrey. Enigmas never age. Have you noticed that? A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday, and may every day be another wonderful.

Secret. Meanwhile, this is how the United Kingdom is framing Donald Trump's disastrous UN speech in their Daily Mirror. Deranged reads the headline. Trump rants to United Nations about climate, migrants, Gaza, Sharia law in London, escalators, marble floors, and teleprompter. Yep, a completely deranged maniac. I wish more American media would report like that, because that's the truth. But to be fair, when you look at the Cincinnati Inquirer's page one, the main paper over there, they're reporting on things like this: utility bills spike by 77% since 2020. But Donald, you said. That you've destroyed inflation, that prices are at all time lows. Nope. Energy costs for people's homes are at all-time highs right now, and they're only gonna be getting higher with AI data centers, crypto mining, and with the reckless Trump policy there, too.

There are serious recession indicators that I think it's important that we talk about. About because corporate news ain't talking about it. So while construction payroll growth is still positive year to year, the pace that we're seeing right now is getting close to what we typically see at the beginning of a recession, as Kevin Gordon writes. In fact, it's at the same pace today as it was when the 2001 recession started. There are more indicators as well. Nevada employment growth is turning negative year over year, which in the past 35 years has meant the U.S. is in a recession. More data points. U.S. soybean harvest, which began in September, began without a single order, not one, from China, the world's largest buyer.

Now, in a typical year, China buys more than half. Of all US soybean exports. Go to agriculture.com for the data right there. Go to Successful Farming. Look at the Bloomberg report on it as well. China ain't buying anything, um, but they are focused on uh getting their soybeans now from Brazil, who Donald Trump's attacking. Oh, and who else is benefiting now from China's? Argentina is But wait a minute, the United States is bailing out Argentina, who otherwise is suffering, but they're screwing our farmers? Make this make sense, as Senator Elizabeth Warren writes. Donald Trump wants to lend $20 billion of our money, of taxpayer money, to bail out Argentina's leader, Javier Millet, and his global investors.
Ben Meiselas 4:15
Before the Argentina midterm elections. Oh, and Argentina just struck a major deal with China that crushes American soybean farmers already suffering from Trump's tariffs. I guess that's what America First means. Wall Street Journal writes: Javier Millet of Argentina is counting on Trump to bail Argentina out of an economic mess. Donald Trump to the rescue. A leading Argentine columnist wrote of the U.S. support of Malay as he grapples with popular anger and market turmoil. But wait! Didn't Donald Trump and Elon Musk and all of these MAGA leaders claim that Javier Malay was going to make Argentina so great?
