Donald Trump just wrapped up a disastrous press conference with Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Let me show you what went down. Donald Trump, again, just looking sickly. It's very bizarre. He started talking about the haircuts of the members of the press who were asking him questions. Here, play this clip.
President Trump, so a question to both of you, if you don't mind. I love his haircut.
Ben Meiselas 1:09
and then this reporter asked him a very good question I mean she said why aren't you providing the tomahawks to Ukraine why aren't you supporting Lindsey Graham and other Republicans in the Senate and who are trying to impose these serious sanctions against Putin and label Putin a terrorist Watch how Donald Trump treats this female reporter. Again, it's really disgusting stuff. Here, play this clip.
The First Lady has done such an amazing job on the Ukrainian children who were abducted by Russia. Would you support Senator Lindsey Graham's bill to declare Russia a terrorist state? And you have within your power, you're the most powerful man on earth. Why don't you just enable Ukraine to finish this war tomorrow?
Donald Trump 1:59
Um, well, if you know anything about what you were talking about, you'd be able, you do. I don't, I don't think you do. I don't think you do because it's a little more complicated than that, but it sounds easy. We're in the process of trying to make a deal. If we make a deal, that's great. If we don't make a deal, it'll be a lot of people are going to be paying a big price.
I mean, Trump is totally unhinged.

This was a very, very strange press conference. A reporter then asked Donald Trump, you know, what's your response to the prime minister of Australia? saying that there's a trade imbalance with Australia that's significantly in the United States' favor. I mean, the U.S. has a massive trade surplus. So why are you hitting your friend and ally, Australia, with these tariffs? And then Donald Trump just starts rambling about airplanes. You have to buy our airplanes. It's very strange. Here, play this clip.
Mr. President, the prime minister mentioned that there's a trade imbalance. Why does America slap such heavy tariffs on a friend and ally?
Donald Trump 3:12
Well, we don't. Yeah. Well, we do in some cases. We do in many cases because we've been treated unfairly. But actually, the tariffs are very light.

What happened at Donald Trump's press conference with Australia’s Prime Minister?

Donald Trump 3:21
The one thing is you buy a lot of airplanes. So that helps because you buy a lot of the beautiful Boeings, the best of the Boeings. And by the way, Boeing is really doing well. They have lots of orders and they're really doing a great job. They make a great plan. But Australia, because of its location, which is great, but one of the things dictated by that location is you have to order a lot of airplanes. So I guess we have that advantage. They need a lot of airplanes in Australia and that gives us a little bit of an advantage.
Ben Meiselas 3:51
another reporter from Australia than asked Donald Trump. So would you consider lifting the tariffs ever for Australia? I mean, given all the facts and data which shows that there's a trade surplus, Australia is a friend. Why would you do this? And then Donald Trump just goes on this weird rant and rave that he always does about he solved eight wars and he's going to solve nine wars. Soon he just makes up numbers. And I've created all of this peace and I'm great. He doesn't answer the question. And I mean, here's the thing when you watch this and to all of our Australian viewers, the Midas mates or the Midas down under, I mean, you see how, I mean, this is just a individual who's so unhinged and untethered from reality.
Ben Meiselas 4:36
And he's a real threat to Australia, a real threat to the world. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump 4:41
Yeah, well, the tariffs have been amazing because tariffs have been really a reason that I was able to settle almost all of the, you know, I've settled eight wars

Donald Trump 5:01
