Chapter 1: Why is Donald Trump's approval rating plummeting?

6.435 - 32.489 Ben Meiselas

Hey, Donald, America hates you. The world hates you. You are the most loathsome president in the history of the United States, the most contemptible individual in the world right now. And Americans and the world are letting you know how we all collectively feel about you. History will not look kindly on you and your ilk.

Chapter 2: What are the recent protests against Donald Trump about?

33.129 - 65.041 Ben Meiselas

That protest I showed at the beginning of this video was from Cincinnati's 50-51 protest on Saturday. We saw thousands of protests like that in towns and cities across America. I'll be doing a whole other video highlighting the signs, the protests, another successful day of opposing the regime. So what's Donald Trump doing as his approval is plummeting to new lows?

0

65.601 - 96.832 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump's approval on the economy, the lowest it's ever been, including his first term. Donald Trump's approval on all other issues plummeting. Donald Trump's overall approval plummeting. flubbiting across the board, even in Republican pro-Trump polls. He's underwater. So Donald Trump's posting this. Why? Because he's a liar. He's a fraud. He's a sexual predator. He's a felon.

Chapter 3: How is Donald Trump reacting to his declining approval?

97.332 - 128.407 Ben Meiselas

This is what people like that do. Here's what he posts. Trump's best poll numbers ever. Thank you! Exclamation point. Detached from reality, aka a fraud. Donald Trump then posts this yesterday. It's post after post after post like this. Ranked choice voting is one of the greatest threats to democracy. It is total and very fraudulent joke. And he puts joke in caps.

0

129.668 - 154.587 Ben Meiselas

Okay, I think you're referring to yourself. You, Donald, are the greatest threat to democracy. Then Donald Trump posts the following. I look forward to having Easter service early tomorrow morning at the White House! Does every sentence you use, Donald, have to have an exclamation point? We don't look forward to you being in the White House for Easter.

0

155.027 - 183.29 Ben Meiselas

You know who also doesn't look forward to you being in the White House on Easter? Pope Francis skipped the Vatican's official meeting with Vice President J.D. Vance on Saturday, instead having his number two give the Vice President a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement. The Vatican said that they lectured J.D.

Chapter 4: What controversial posts has Donald Trump been making recently?

Chapter 5: How is the Vatican responding to Trump's allies?

155.027 - 183.29 Ben Meiselas

You know who also doesn't look forward to you being in the White House on Easter? Pope Francis skipped the Vatican's official meeting with Vice President J.D. Vance on Saturday, instead having his number two give the Vice President a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement. The Vatican said that they lectured J.D.

183.35 - 212.639 Ben Meiselas

Vance on issues about immigration and world peace, and the Pope was not having that meeting with J.D. Vance. Well, Donald Trump was posting ISIS-style torture videos yesterday, like this post right here. I mean, this is from Donald Trump's official account, and he's posting photos, and it has this ominous music in the background of putting migrants into...

213.76 - 241.656 Ben Meiselas

concentration camps, extermination camps in El Salvador without due process. Trump keeps reposting these torture videos over and over again on Easter. He has hate in his heart. As I've said before, he's a felon. He's a sexual predator. He's been found liable for sexual assault. He's a criminal. So I don't think we should be like, whoa, he's doing this? He's a criminal. He's also weak physically.

242.236 - 264.637 Ben Meiselas

Did you see the video I made yesterday where, you know how we've been reporting Donald Trump is panicking on this, Donald Trump is panicking on that? And sometimes I get the comments, oh, he's not panicking. He looks like he's just doing fine. I said that's his pretending to project a strongman image when he's panicking behind the scenes.

0

265.558 - 291.339 Ben Meiselas

What's been happening is Donald Trump's economic advisors on his cabinet, like Scott Besant, his Treasury Secretary, Howard Lutnick, his Commerce Secretary, keep hearing Donald Trump pacing around the White House fretting and saying, am I going to cause a 1929? Am I going to cause a 1929? Am I going to be responsible for a Great Depression? The guy is weak, pathetic, and scared.

Chapter 6: What do Trump's economic advisors say about his state of mind?

292.32 - 317.986 Ben Meiselas

And this is what he's sending to his supporters as well. I subscribe to his email list so you don't have to. As Donald Trump sees these protests spreading again across the country, this is the email that he sends to his followers, or I should say his cult. Ben, be honest, are you still a true MAGA patriot? I'm running a quick MAGA survey to find out who's still standing with me.

Chapter 7: What messages is Donald Trump sending to his supporters?

318.546 - 347.987 Ben Meiselas

If you are, you'll pass it easily, but you've never let me down, so I'm not worried at all. Complete it now and you'll earn a Trump merit badge. And apparently the Trump merit badge is an American flag with Donald Trump's name on it in gold, a clear violation of the flag code. But also regardless of what political party you're from, why are you plastering your name on our flag?

0

348.407 - 367.002 Ben Meiselas

Like that should piss you the heck off no matter what party you're from. But I guess the Trump cult pledges allegiance to Trump. not the flag, not the United States of America. Oh, by the way, when you click that, Trump grips off you and asks you for money. Surprise, surprise.

367.975 - 396.561 Ben Meiselas

Not surprisingly either, the Financial Times is reporting that the delegation from Japan returned to Tokyo without reaching a deal with Donald Trump on tariffs. Here's the headline from the Financial Times. Donald Trump weighs in on Japan trade talks, but Tokyo team leaves without a deal. The first in the queue for negotiations was being closely watched for signs of a U.S. strategy.

0

Chapter 8: What is the status of Donald Trump's trade talks with Japan?

397.381 - 426.913 Ben Meiselas

Newsflash, there is no strategy. Donald Trump is just attacking allies and adversaries alike. Although for Donald Trump, allies are now his adversaries. And of course, he kisses Putin's ass. Spencer Hakimian says, Japan has a lower tariff rate than the United States does. What is taking so long to sign an imaginary trade deal with them and pretend that we accomplished something?

0

427.693 - 453.012 Ben Meiselas

Even Japan's like, what the heck are they doing? The fact that you can't quickly, like literally within 24 hours, make up a make-believe trade deal with Japan to announce just shows how utterly incompetent this regime is. Going back to what I said at the outset of this video, Trump's approval rating on the economy is now at its lowest of his entire presidential career, as Akimian says.

453.493 - 477.215 Ben Meiselas

The most ineffective first 100 days of a presidency that many of us will ever see in our lifetimes. An unnecessary disaster from the get-go. Donald Trump was always a disaster, so it doesn't shock me that this is happening. If you want to look at Easter egg prices, despite Donald Trump saying the prices are so low on Easter for eggs that there are too many eggs, they're too cheap, he says.

0

477.575 - 502.272 Ben Meiselas

He says, mission accomplished, he made them so cheap. Nope. In 2024, if you look at what eggs cost, $2.99, now $6.23 on average. If you look at the Nasdaq, the Dow, the S&P, you just take a look at a straight line down during the Trump regime. You'll notice under President Biden, it steadily went up, up, up, up, up, up, up.

502.792 - 523.036 Ben Meiselas

Then under Donald Trump, you see it falling significantly, almost a straight line down right now. As Sean Broderick, economist, puts it, posting this for later, pay it no mind. And he's showing the way the markets looked during the Great Depression and when the Smoot-Hawley tariffs were announced in 1930 or so.

525.279 - 553.513 Ben Meiselas

Just so you know, Trump's tariffs are far more harsh than even the Smoot-Hawley tariffs. And if you start looking at the chart, it's going in that direction right now. Goldman Sachs economists, we're learning, estimate that the US could lose as much as 0.3% of its entire GDP or $90 billion from a plunge in foreign tourism and boycotts of American products.

554.193 - 574.211 Ben Meiselas

Early signs of the pullback are starting to show up in economic data. That's from Bloomberg. I think it's going to be more than that. When Goldman says that's the maximum, I think the damage is going to actually be much higher as Canada's boycotting everything, boycotting tourism. We're seeing a massive boycott from Europe. And of course, they're boycotting.

574.291 - 598.573 Ben Meiselas

Trump's throwing people in concentration camps, extermination camps, ICE detention centers with no due process. And then trying to deny people habeas corpus. It's horrific. And some of Donald Trump's top advisors or top allies who he takes meetings with. Remember Donald Trump a few weeks back says that he listens to Laura Loomer on hiring and firing. And she's one of the more influential people.

598.593 - 625.507 Ben Meiselas

It was Trump's words. Here's what one of Donald Trump's top people posted yesterday, again, the day before Easter. In most countries, when you cross into the country illegally, you're shot to death on sight. Trump is gracious. Democrats should be happy he's deporting the illegals on planes. There's always alternatives. Just look at how trespassers are treated on other foreign borders.
