Chapter 1: What is Donald Trump doing in the Oval Office this week?
In the Oval Office. He's been spending the whole week after spending the weekend golfing on the taxpayer dime, spending the week with sports teams. Like yesterday, he was with the Naval Academy football team. Donald Trump was holding a football. Didn't say United States of America on it in big, bold letters.
Chapter 2: How is Trump's economic performance being described?
Es hat Donald J. Trump gesagt, und er postet Videos von sich selbst, der den Fußball hält, als er die Wirtschaft zerstört, als die meisten CEOs denken, wir sind in einer Rezession, als alle die Zeichen der Stagflation zerstören, die GDP zerstört.
surging inflation are taking shape now as the latest new york fed survey on manufacturing shows everything is down other than prices and of course it was announced last night that hong kong was shutting down its postal service to the united states to inflict more pain as they continue to outmaneuver donald trump in the trade war that donald trump started it should also be noted as well
dass China in der ersten Quartiere etwa 5,4 Prozent GDP-Growth erhielt, als sie sich für Donald Trumps Aktionen vorbereitet haben. Es sollte auch bemerkt werden, und das wird unterreportiert, dass Donald Trump, als er diese Fotos mit den Fußballspielen nahm, um sich zu machen, wie ein schwieriger Kerl, Donald Trump die Welt verabschiedete.
Chapter 3: What actions did Trump take against the press and why?
all wire services from being in the press corps because a trump appointed judge in dc federal judge mcfadden order that donald trump was to return the associated press to the press corps into the oval office unless there was some non-discriminatory reason for not allowing the associated press because trump didn't allow the ap
Because they refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of Mexico and not the Gulf of America. Donald Trump said, okay, I'll come up with a non-discriminatory reason. I'm banning all wire services. So no more wire services getting their news. You just get pathetic right-wing podcasters now basically leading the conversation.
Quote unquote Press in the White House and then some other corporate news that is apparently OK with enabling this behavior and asking Donald Trump some of the most pathetic questions that I've seen. Talking about pathetic, Donald Trump is also sending emails like this to his supporters, trying to cling on to support him.
Chapter 4: How is Trump's support among voters and MAGA movement trending?
Remember yesterday I showed you Donald Trump saying the new polls showing that we are surging with MAGA and MAGA is surging. It was like 36% of voters identify as MAGA. Yeah, Donald, that means 64% of America is against you. Your approval is plummeting. It's in the toilet. It's swirling the drain with the rest of the MAGA Republicans. Because it's just pathetic crap like this.
Die Betriebsrate liegt jetzt bei 7,5%. Der Bond-Markt bleibt chaotisch. Der Stock-Markt bleibt so volatil, wie es schon jemals war. Die Manufacturing New York Fed Survey zeigt, dass die Erwartungen auf die Produktion niedriger sind als seit 9-11. Donald Trump's posting things like this. You just won. Congratulations. Did I spell Ben correctly? Memo from Trump. Today's the tax filing day.
Then Donald Trump's like, before my mid-month deadline today, can you chip in and accept your Trump card? All you gotta do is give me some money. Accept your award right here. Or here's the other one. I know you hate getting reminders about tax day. He uses tax day to send this email to give him money on tax day.
Chapter 5: What economic indicators suggest stagflation in the US?
I'm fighting to eliminate unfair taxes, like tax on social security, tax on tips, tax on overtime. You two-bit piece of trash scam artist, Donald. Wow. Okay, I haven't seen that in the legislation and already what we're approaching 100 days. Housing is far less affordable. Prices are higher. Goods and products less affordable.
China is shutting down their entire market right now to the United States. There's no peace in Ukraine in 24 hours. And as Yardini says. The latest batch of soft data is consistent with stagflation.
So as China's economy seems to be doing pretty good, as Europe's economy is figuring out how to navigate, as Canada, Europe, Australia, China, South Korea, Vietnam, Southeast Asia in general, as they're cutting deals, You have isolated the United States to look like some weirder version of North Korea meets the worst season of The Apprentice.
Chapter 6: How are international markets reacting to Trump's policies?
Yardini writes, the latest batch of soft data is consistent with stagflation scenarios in the US. The soft data is likely signs of hard data during the second half of this year. Trump tariff turmoil, TTT as they're calling it. We've also learned some additional data from leaks about Musk and Trump and Doge.
One of the things that Doge has been trying to do is put Doge people to sneak into certain non-profits and to kind of gut it from within and to take Information from within. The Washington Post reports, Doge sought to assign a team to independent non-profit groups to try to take their data.
Also a whistleblower is reporting that Musk's Doge stole 10 gigabytes of union data, legal files and corporate secrets, then tried to cover it up. Is this a shocker to you, by the way, that this is going on?
Chapter 7: What controversies involve Elon Musk, Doge, and data theft?
The ultimate karma that Elon Musk is getting as Donald Trump is imposing all these tariffs on China, it's absolutely destroyed Tesla's plans for expansion, assuming Tesla was ever even going to follow through on those plans and it wasn't just something they were saying to pump the market. Can I show you the difference about what's going on in the ground right now?
You have Senator Bernie Sanders and AOC going into red states, red cities and counties in blue states, but going into red areas. When she was in Nampa, Idaho, Salt Lake City, Utah, in California yesterday, she was in Bakersfield. She was in Folsom, California. Here she is in Folsom saying, hey, they said this was Trump country. I don't look like Trump country to me right now.
Play this clip of AOC yesterday.
Chapter 8: How are progressive politicians engaging with traditionally Trump-supporting areas?
Ich denke, das ist unser Land. Jetzt, was ist passiert?
Lass uns den Clip spielen.
Why are you such a coward in the face of an obvious fascist takeover, Andrew?
Scary.
Should also be noted that a lot of the diehard MAGAs are really pissed that Trump's deportation numbers are low, lower than Biden. So I just want to give you some data points. So Trump has deported less people than Biden. Biden konzentrierte sich auf Menschen mit echten Kriminalregeln und machte es in der richtigen Weise.
Während Donald Trump ist, was ist das Neueste, dass 90 Prozent der Menschen in El Salvador keine Kriminalregeln hatten, von 75 Prozent. Trump macht diese, genau wie Trump in der Leben. Er ist ein Skamartist, er ist ein Fraud, er ist ein Verbrecher, er ist ein sexueller Verbrecher, richtig? Er ist für Fraude verantwortlich. Er ist ein Kriminal. So, the people who he is, he's torturing.
But the numbers are actually lower when it comes to the actual criminals. Also, federal spending is up. With all of the things that Doge did, Elon Musk saying, at most we can do 150 billion in cuts, but it seems closer to 25 or 30 million in cuts. But there's going to be far more government waste now because of all the screw-ups by Doge and Trump.
So federal spending is significantly higher right now than it was under Biden. So just think about those data points. So no wonder Trump and MAGA is underwater in basically every poll right now and Democrats are polling better. And finally, Democrats are fighting, which is a good thing. All right, let me give you some more data points as well.
Donald Trump's press secretary, chief propagandist Caroline Leavitt begging, begging China, can you please call Donald? He's waiting for your call. I'm reading this directly from Donald. Can you please call him here? Watch this. Okay.
