0.031 - 23.919 Ben Meiselas (MeidasTouch host / narrator)

Donald Trump just wrapped up a disastrous press conference with Prime Minister Keir Starmer as part of Donald Trump's state visit to the United Kingdom. Donald Trump was speaking about Russia and says the whole Russia situation, not really a big threat to the United States or to the United Kingdom or Europe. And maybe I'll have some good news in a few weeks. Here, play this clip.

24.6 - 40.634 Donald Trump

But the Russia situation... I hope we're going to have some good news for you coming up. But again, it doesn't affect the United States. And he look, it doesn't so much affect you. Of course, you are a lot closer to the scene than we are. We have a whole ocean separating us.

40.694 - 58.419 Ben Meiselas (MeidasTouch host / narrator)

But then Donald Trump continues with his lies about the United States bringing in 17 trillion dollars in investments in eight months. Quite literally, none of this is true at all. He just makes up the number $17 trillion. Let's play it.

58.439 - 86.105 Donald Trump

$17 trillion, and this is during an eight-month period being invested in the country, which is not only a record, but if you compare $17 trillion to the last year of the Biden administration, they did $250 billion. They didn't do $1 trillion for... The four-year period, we did $17 trillion of investment coming in.

86.726 - 110.571 Donald Trump

A lot of it's because of tariffs, and a lot of it's for a lot of other reasons, but there's never been anything like it. It's an economic superstar. It's what's become mismanaged and badly handled for a long period of time, but it's not badly handled anymore. So that's a record, and remember, that's up until... eight months.

110.912 - 119.509 Donald Trump

We have another few months to go, and that number is going to get significantly higher, especially if we win a certain case that we're waiting to hear.

120.198 - 147.302 Ben Meiselas (MeidasTouch host / narrator)

Donald Trump is then asked a very good question by a reporter about the UK ambassador to the United States, Lord Mandelson, who was fired by the UK government. He was removed from his position because his letters to Jeffrey Epstein in that birthday book from 2003 for Epstein's 50th birthday were revealed, and then Bloomberg had additional information

147.282 - 165.223 Ben Meiselas (MeidasTouch host / narrator)

about lord mandelson emailing epstein and just saying nice things to epstein and being just helpful and protective of epstein very similar to donald trump and so the reporter asks donald trump like well how do you how do you feel about that um and watch the response here play this clip

165.203 - 182.35 Reporter (questioner at press conference)

scare him and impose sanctions. And finally, if I may, the elephant in the room, Lord Mandelson, he is no longer the ambassador. Do you have some sympathy with him that he lost his job over historic links to Jeffrey Epstein? Thank you very much.
