What false claims did Donald Trump make about Qatar's financial commitments?
You have Donald Trump wearing makeup so his face is three different colors. You see it right there. You have J.D. Vance going so heavy on the smoky eyeliner in the morning. And then just the absurdity of it all as Donald Trump is posting fraudulent deals, lying to the American people that Qatar is committing $1.2 trillion to the United States. when Qatar's GDP is $200 billion a year? Yes.
So Qatar, yes, Donald Trump, Qatar has committed 6x its entire GDP to the United States. I'm sure we're going to be seeing a lot of that money flow into the United States and help the American workers and help the American people who are suffering. I'm, of course, being sarcastic right there. American people are suffering here. They can't afford groceries.
They can't afford basic necessities in life. Donald Trump ran on a fraud that he was going to make things cheaper on day one. He lied. Housing is not more affordable. It's less affordable. Right now, we're seeing the 20 and 30-year treasury yields go up into areas that express extreme and utter volatility. And that also has an impact on things like mortgage rates and makes lending more difficult.
You have Donald Trump promising that he was going to bring peace to Ukraine in 24 hours, peace to Gaza in 24 hours. It's just lie after lie after lie. But what Donald Trump does do is gimmicks. I call it a rug pull presidency. I call it a Ponzi scheme presidency.
But to me, some of the most offensive things watching Donald Trump parade himself and his regime around these Middle East nations that he's paying homage to because their sovereign wealth funds are paying him off and bribing him off and buying him jets is that how the hell is this helping the American people right now?
I know all of the MAGA people who live in their MAGA mush cult are like, yeah, he's going to Qatar. Did you see the motorcade when Donald Trump went to LaSalle Palace? Oh my God, he went to LaSalle Palace in Qatar with all of the gold on the wall and all of the diamonds out there. What are we talking about here? How is this helping American people? I'll tell you what's hurting American people.
Trump's big, beautiful tax bill is a massive tax scam that does nothing that Donald Trump actually promised, but will rip Medicaid away from you. That's what it does. They may say, oh, trust me, we're not going to touch your Medicaid. They are. It's in the freaking bill. Also, when you look at Donald Trump's tax bill right now that the GOP is trying so hard to push through.
In addition to having trillions of dollars in tax cuts for the billionaires, which they then need to raise the debt ceiling by at least $4 trillion, you also look at it and it has some really dangerous policies as well. Like it has a 10-year ban on states' rights, a 10-year ban on states from regulating artificial intelligence in their states. It's the federal government is not regulating AI.
And Donald Trump wants to give all of these handouts to his tech bros and oligarchs like Elon Musk and Sam Altman and others. Donald Trump is preventing states from engaging in common sense regulation programs. of AI. So states are banned from it. And you know what? This has real world implications.
