What triggered Donald Trump's psychotic meltdown?
Donald Trump is having a psychotic meltdown on Saturday morning. He's rushed out of Washington DC. He's now in Bedminster, his golf course in New Jersey. He's been making social media posts with some weird AI video that says Trump, Trump, Trump. This as the world is literally falling apart as a result of Donald Trump's despicable policies and plans and his chaos. This is as Donald Trump is crashing the markets here in the United States and more significantly destroying the economy for everybody here other than his right-wing billionaire buddies. Let me show you what he is posting here. Let's play this clip.
In the Middle East, they love Donald Trump.
And he continues to make posts like that, and I guess the individual who helped make that video, someone who Donald Trump's now endorsing for Congress, and then they're posting videos of the guy hugging a Trump statue.
How is Trump's social media activity affecting public perception?
It's beyond bizarre. There's a lot of very serious things going on this morning, obviously, as he's having this meltdown. You know, FBI records that were just obtained through a Judicial Watch lawsuit. reveal that a Butler County Sheriff's deputy exchanged two emails with the Trump purported shooter, Thomas Crooks, before the purported July 13th, 2024 assassination attempt. I'm going to do a whole video on that, but apparently Crooks was emailing law enforcement and the FBI produced records that are entirely redacted, but we can see that there were emails before the shooting by Crooks. I'm going to delve deeper into that. Also, the Pentagon has raised Israel's counterintelligence threat level to its highest category, meaning that Israeli intelligence are stepping up efforts to gather information on U.S.
officials right now as Netanyahu continues to do everything he can to avoid the United States entering into a deal with Iran. I'll do a longer video on that. But you have the Israel Mossad spying on U.S. government. We know that they were doing that, but they're escalating that right now. The NBC News Bureau is reporting. Also, we have the Trump regime covering up right now. There was an announcement over here of this screw worm, this lethal screw worm, and they posted about it, and then they tried to cover it up.
What are the implications of Trump's policies on the economy?
Here's what Secretary Brooke Rollins, Agriculture Secretary, posted. USDA confirmed a second detection of New World screw worm in a one-month-old calf in Zavala County, Texas, approximately 5.6 miles from the first case. People were warning about this, especially as the Trump regime was removing the detection mechanisms and the experts who could have helped prevent this. So now they're deleting this. They posted it, then they deleted it. But folks, Donald Trump is making yet another post of that video. Here's what he just posted here. Let's play it.
Down in Mexico, they love Donald, Donald Trump. Flew to Italy, they love Donald, Donald Trump.
Also, Donald Trump apparently working right now this morning with Albania's Prime Minister, Edi Rama, to cover up that $4 billion project that Jared Kushner and Ivanka are doing, where there are mass protests right now in Albania, over. That project where they're taking over an island in Albania that's a protected ecological wonder. And they want to turn it into some Trump and Steen weird island for right-wing oligarchs. And so now the prime minister of Albania, Eddie Rama, just gave another interview. And here's what he just said moments ago. Let's play it.
A lot of images that have been spread in the social media of projects that are not related to the project, of dying flamingos, of depressed turtles and of all this, it doesn't exist. So we have to talk about reality. When the project will be presented, of course, we'll show it and we'll show it proudly. And I'm sure it will be a project
that will will change a lot in how europe understands uh understands uh environments in general because this is the more from eddie rama right here this prime minister saying that jared kushner deserves all the love he's a great guy yeah i think the people in albania would disagree with that let's play this clip media by being engineered
