Chapter 1: What bizarre behavior is Donald Trump exhibiting in the White House?
I know we have bigger problems than this to discuss, and we will. But this makeup that Donald Trump is wearing right now as he walks around the White House with globs of this stuff on his face, it's just so utterly bizarre. And it almost, to me, accentuates the madness of this entire regime. The kakistocracy meets fascism all wrapped up into one disgusting and despicable bow.
I mean, as Donald Trump is crashing our economy, as our GDP shrunk negative 0.3% for the first quarter, as freight and trucking volumes are precipitously declining, Donald Trump is creating fake websites that look like it's the Drudge Report, but it's on WhiteHouse.gov where Donald Trump writes headlines about himself.
So when it's clear our economy is heading in a disastrous direction because of Trump's reckless trade wars against the world, Donald Trump made this website. It looks like drudge and it says the most successful first 100 days in presidential history. I mean, this stuff is really, really pathetic.
Donald Trump began yesterday by making post after post on social media like this one right here, saying that this is Biden's stock market, not Trump's. You're in office. You're literally the president. You've been the president now for not like even one day or two days, 100 days. The election was in November.
And by the way, in 2024, when the stock market was setting record highs, when our economy was booming, when Wall Street Journal and others said that our economy was the envy of the world. We were leading the world in GDP and energy production. We had record low unemployment, record high job growth, 16.2 million jobs created.
Your posts back in 2024 when you were not in office said this is Trump's stock market and the economy's doing great because people want Trump back in. So now that you're in and things are crashing, you blame it on Biden. It is the most pathetic lack of leadership that exists. But Donald Trump doesn't give a crap about you or me. He doesn't care about the American people. He's a fraud.
He's a felon. He's a criminal. He's a sexual abuser. With all of this chaos that he's creating, what's he doing behind the scenes? The Trump Organization agreed to partner on a real estate project in Qatar. and the latest of a series of projects tied to foreign governments. New Mideast project is latest Trump company deal tied to a foreign government.
New York Times just reports that matter-of-factly, Donald Trump cutting deals with Middle East countries, making himself billions of dollars while we the people suffer. Oh, by the way, I've told you this story before, but it bears repeating again. Don Jr. and Donald Trump's crypto czar, David Sachs, launching an exclusive club that they call the Executive Branch. That's the name of their club.
It costs half a million dollars if you want to become a member of their Executive Branch club and get access to them. That's what they're doing. There's buying. You could buy access to them and it's just so open and obvious that Here's Donald Trump's commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, yesterday in this bizarre interview with Rob Schmidt of Newsmax.

Chapter 2: How is Trump's economic impact characterized in this episode?
We're not talking about something that we have to go out of our way. They have ships that are loaded up with stuff, much of which, not all of it, but much of which we don't need.
I mean, how tone deaf can you be? And by the way, isn't that a literal war on Christmas? That Donald Trump saying he's going after kids and kids wanting toys. It's not just kids and toys, though, right? It's going to be parts to air conditioning. It's going to be lots of hardware parts. And there's lots of products that we import from China. That's not going to be arriving.
The ships are not coming. And Donald Trump knows that. That's why he's blaming next quarter. on former President Biden. All this guy does is blame, blame, blame. Here was Donald Trump yesterday saying, even next quarter is gonna be bad because of former President Biden. Play this clip.
Look at the stock market in this case as it says how bad a situation we inherited. I took place, this is a quarter that we looked at today. And we took all of us together. We came in on January 20th. So this is Biden. And you can even say the next quarter is sort of Biden because it doesn't just happen on a daily or an hourly basis.
What? Former? Next quarter? I guess what? In 2029, it won't be Biden's fault anymore? Is that it? I want to show you this as well, because this video over here really hit home to me. A Reuters drone captured detainees, Venezuelan detainees, at the Blue Bonnet Immigrant Detention Center in Texas. And you'll see these people here spelling out the message to the outside world, SOS, they need help.
Thank you for watching.
As Chris Hayes says, this is America now. Your kids get a max of two toys. Then they grow up, as Howard Lutnick said in another interview, to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather, screwing in tiny screws in an iPhone. That's the American dream. Take it. Take it. I want to show you this as well.
Donald Trump was asked about his attacks on universities, his attacks on Harvard by Stephen A. Smith. During an interview late last night, Donald Trump then confuses Harvard with Harlem and Donald Trump starts talking about getting black votes in Harlem. Play this clip.
Mr. President, thank you for your time. It's interesting that you brought up Harvard, because when people think about Harvard, what they're basically talking about is they're asking, what do you say to those who view your actions as an attack on academic freedom rather than a defense of fairness? What do you say to that?
