Full Episode
Donald Trump just wrapped up a press conference where he literally crashed the stock market based on what he was saying. Donald Trump threatened Canada and Mexico, said tariffs will indeed take place tomorrow. Then Donald Trump posted on his social media platform, tariffs will be fun, he told the farmers. Have fun based on what?
all of the greatness he's going to bring when he's actually going to devastate them. At the close of the day, the markets were down as such. The Dow was down 1.48%. The S&P 500 was down 1.76%. The Nasdaq was down 2.64%. You can literally see the market crashing as Donald Trump is speaking at this press conference and talking about the tariffs. Play this clip.
The United States has been taken advantage of for 40 years. The United States has been a laughingstock for years and years. That's why this gentleman is built in Taiwan instead of building here. Would have been better if he built here if we had a president that knew what they were doing. And we had a lot of them very bad on trade.
And at one point during his speech, the Dow was almost down 1,000 points. Donald Trump was then speaking about President Zelensky. He praised Putin again. He talked about how, yes, America is aligned, essentially, with Russian foreign policy, with Putin policy, and said Zelensky should be more appreciative of him. Here, play this clip.
What do you need to see from President Zelensky to restart these negotiations?
Well, I just think you should be more appreciative because this country has stuck with them through thick and thin. We've given them much more than Europe, and Europe should have given more than us because, as you know, that's right there. That's the border. This country really was like the fence on the border. It was very important to Europe. And I'm not knocking Europe.
I'm saying that just they were a lot smarter than Joe Biden because Joe Biden didn't have a clue. He just gave money hand over fist.
Yes, this press conference was an absolute disaster. Donald Trump then decides to attack our ally, Taiwan, and he says all these horrible things about them. Play this clip.
Gonna go on for a long time. And he better not be right about that.
