Mr. Prime Minister, shall we start now? Let's start, and let's start properly. What do you mean? Let's start everything. Can you be more specific? Let's start clothes, let's start equipment, let's start equipment. I mean, all outdoor sports and free time. Now I understand. Maybe you understand numbers better. Putkesport is now even below 60%. So... Exactly. Putkesport.fi.

Donald Trump being hit with a torrent of catastrophic news this morning. He continues to rant and rave like a lunatic on social media while this is taking place. He's learned that a lot of MAGA Republican Congress members are threatening to do what Marjorie Taylor Greene just did, which is to resign, to leave before the midterms. And this could potentially shift the balance of the House of Representatives to Democrats before the midterms even take place. This is what Jake Sherman of Punchbowl is reporting this morning. The entire White House team has treated all members like garbage, according to sources close with some of these MAGA Republican Congress members who are saying that they may resign pretty soon.

And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen. And the sentiment is at a near time low amongst these MAGA Republicans.

What catastrophic morning news did Donald Trump receive that sparked this episode?

Ben Meiselas 1:13
I'll do a longer report on that now. Donald Trump was posting that he believed that these talks with Europe over the weekend regarding the 28-point plan of surrender that the United States laundered through Russia and tried to force down Ukraine's throat. Trump thought this was productive. You know, Europe and Zelensky pushed back against this Trump and Putin plan. and then european zielinski said here's what we're okay with but you have to respect the territorial integrity of ukraine and so ukraine and europe put out that statement and now we've learned from a senior advisor close to vladimir putin that they will not support europe's plan So essentially, we are exactly where we were before. And didn't Donald Trump promise that he was going to bring peace to Ukraine in 24 hours?
Ben Meiselas 2:04
Oh, wait a minute. Donald Trump lies about everything. As I mentioned, Donald Trump ranting and raving like a lunatic this morning.

How are MAGA Republicans reportedly reacting internally to Trump and House leadership?

Ben Meiselas 2:11
He's threatening the Supreme Court and saying that if you do not support Trump's tariffs plans, I'm going to do a direct quote of the threat that Donald Trump made this morning to the Supreme Court. You are serving... hostile foreign interest not aligned with the success, safety, and prosperity of the United States is what he says if the Supreme Court rules against him. And then Donald Trump says, you know, the full benefit of the tariffs has not yet been calculated because many of the buyers of the goods and products in order to avoid paying the tariffs have stocked up by purchasing far more inventory than they can in order to avoid paying the tariffs. Yes, Donald, because it is a tax on the American corporations, which they pass on to the American people.
Ben Meiselas 3:02
That's why they stocked up. That's why, because it's a tax and it's a taxation power that lies with Congress, not the executive branch. So we will see what the Supreme Court says. We expect that ruling to be handed down very, very soon. Also this morning, Xi Jinping gave Donald Trump a call, or we should say a punch to the throat, because Xi Jinping made it very clear that he wants Taiwan. And he timed this phone call with the fact that there is no trade deal with the United States, despite Donald Trump claiming that there was one every other month. Now, our soybean farmers and others here in the United States that rely on China as a market to export goods to are suffering. And so one of the things that Xi Jinping is doing is he's saying, look, if you want us to
Ben Meiselas 3:56
in any way try to bail you out, Trump, because Trump, you so misplayed this trade war against China and the world. Recognize that Taiwan belongs to China. Do you see how they outmaneuvered him while Donald Trump continues to say, oh, Xi Jinping loves me. We did such a great deal. We did such a great, you didn't do any deal. And China has their knee on your throat because they see what utter weakness that there is right now.
