Donald Trump has walked right into a death trap of his own, making a global economic catastrophe the same way Donald Trump bankrupted his casinos. He's doing it now with the United States economy and the global economy caused by his unlawful and disastrous war. against Iran. There was a moment when Treasury Secretary Scott Besson this past week was doing that interview with Sky News. He was spewing the Trump propaganda and saying, there's no cost that I would be worried about when it comes to this war against Iran. Donald Trump should be able to spend as Much money as he wants.

I listened to you on the... Oh, okay.
Scott Bessent 3:32
Okay. No problem at all. See you shortly, Mr. Secretary. Mr. Secretary, I have to say, it's a first, I'm sure, a last as well, that an interviewee has been pulled away to go to the Situation Room. How is the president? Was he was he stressed? No, the president is in great spirits. The Iranian mission is proceeding well ahead of schedule. And I have to tell you, well, that I'm a teenage teenager who's considering military service. And I could give this team my highest compliment from President Trump.

What are the implications of Trump's war on the US economy?

Ben Meiselas 4:37
This is what he's been telling people. It was always part of our planning that the United States would have to deal with the Strait of Hormuz being closed. That's just what we knew was going to happen. We always thought we need this international coalition to escort the tankers.
