Full Episode
When I say that Donald Trump is a felon, a fraud, and a sexual abuser, it's because he's those things. He's also a bankruptor. He's a destroyer, not a builder. And so when you see Donald Trump make a post like he did last night, saying that great progress was made in the trade talks with China, we're going to do a total reset in our economic relations with China. This is going to be great.
Trump is a con artist. Now look, I hope that our economy can do great. But Trump, you wrecked it. You declared a trade war against the world. You have been saying that tariffs are the greatest thing ever. Then why are you negotiating to remove the tariffs if you're saying the tariffs are the greatest thing ever?
You have your treasury secretary saying this is all part of the, this is a direct quote, crazy Ivan strategy. where Donald Trump injects strategic uncertainty into the markets. And then we try to make deals in periods of strategic uncertainty, which is no, it's just Donald Trump waking up, posting deranged and demented things and screwing over main street and
and then manipulating the markets and helping his billionaire and oligarch friends while we the people don't even know if our small businesses and medium-sized businesses are going to be able to survive because we don't get the special exemptions that Apple and all of Donald and Bezos and all of these people get.
So here's what Donald Trump posted last night after the first day of discussions between China and the United States over Donald Trump's trade war against China and the world. America has 145% tariffs against China. China has similar tariffs against the United States. There's an effective trade embargo. Shipments are not coming into our ports anymore.
We're about to run out of goods and products that are not going to be on these shelves. And so here's what Donald Trump posts. He goes, a very good meeting today with China and Switzerland. Many things discussed, much agreed to. A total reset negotiated in a friendly but constructive manner. We want to see, for the good of both China and the U.S., an opening up of China to American business.
Great progress made! It's almost like the arsonist showing up at the scene of the fire. and basically saying, look, I'm going to try to put this all out. Let me be the hero. A total reset of the fire that was created. You made the mess. And then when Donald Trump uses language like a total reset negotiated, and again, Donald, aren't you saying that tariffs are the greatest things?
So if tariffs are the greatest thing in the world and we're getting super rich with 145% tariffs on China, and as you said in press conference after press conference, you think it's a great thing that ships aren't coming into our ports, then why are you trying to negotiate deals that are going to remove the tariffs and reset that? Shouldn't you be celebrating how rich we are?
No, because it's all a scam. It's all a fraud. It's to help Donald Trump's rich billionaire oligarch friends.
