Donald Trump just wrapped up a disastrous press conference in the Oval Office on Monday morning. He said that he is called the President of Europe now. He says that's what they call him now, the President of Europe. Here, play this clip.

0

52.49 - 57.4 Donald Trump

President of Europe, which is an honor. I like Europe and I like those people. They're good people. They're great leaders.

0

57.48 - 75.662 Ben Meiselas

Then he points to the gold World Cup trophy, which he basically stole from FIFA. And he goes, look, they gave me this gold trophy. By the way, throughout this press conference, I want you to look as Donald Trump tries to cover up his hands. You'll see that he's got these massive health issues that he's dealing with.

76.163 - 84.072 Ben Meiselas

You see all of the discoloration, and it almost looks like his hand is decomposing. But watch what he says about his trophy. Here, play this clip.

84.653 - 103.003 Donald Trump

Ah. You saw the World Cup was here the other day. And come to think of it, there's your trophy for the World Cup. In fact, it's solid gold. That's actually solid gold, so heavy that some of the people in this room wouldn't be able to lift it up. I think what I'm going to do is place it right above the angel, right over there. That's solid gold, too. We're going to put it right up there.

103.264 - 108.372 Donald Trump

Look at that. This is a solid gold trophy. They know how to get to me, you know.

109.415 - 133.667 Ben Meiselas

i like the angel better to be honest with you so um then he says that he's not able to resolve the war in ukraine because there are issues with people's personalities we have big personality conflicts he says and and that's the issue here play this clip and the one i thought would be easiest frankly was going to be russia and ukraine but that turns out to be uh

Chapter 2: What happened during Donald Trump's disastrous press conference?

133.782 - 142.866 Donald Trump

Some big personality conflicts. It's one of those things. But we're going to get that stopped eventually. We're going to get that stopped, too. 7,000 soldiers died last week.

0

Chapter 3: Why does Trump refer to himself as the President of Europe?

142.906 - 144.45 Donald Trump

Think of that. 7,000.

0

144.599 - 156.845 Ben Meiselas

Then he says that he now calls the Department of Defense the Department of War because we need to be going on the offense and we need to be invading. Here, play this clip.

0

156.865 - 178.056 Donald Trump

All right. That's coming. You let me know if you want to do it. I think Department of War. It just sounded bad. He said, sir, on behalf of the Department of Defense, defense. I don't want to be defense only. We want defense, but we want offense, too, if that's okay. So you'll make a decision. But, you know, as Department of War, we won Everything. We want everything.

0

178.877 - 180.72 Donald Trump

And I think we're going to have to go back to that.

0

180.74 - 199.011 Ben Meiselas

Then he whines about how he gets 97% negative stories against him. And he says that he does 97% positive things. All of his policies have been great. But he gets 97% negative stories, he says. So he's whining about that during the press conference. Let's play it.

199.231 - 201.836 Donald Trump

All right, man. Everybody before me is happy what I'm doing.

Chapter 4: What health issues is Donald Trump reportedly facing?

201.876 - 223.493 Donald Trump

Most of you won't say that because you're radical left. The newspapers are so dishonest. The press is totally dishonest, but that's all right. We've gotten used to it and we want to landslide. So they obviously lost their power. I mean, it's impossible to imagine that when you get 97 percent negative stories, purposely negative stories, even though you've done 97 percent positive things.

0

223.473 - 246.325 Ben Meiselas

Then if you're wondering what's the point of this press conference, Ben, it's a great question. No one really knows. He's apparently signing executive orders to prosecute people who burn flags. And he then talks about potentially sending the National Guard and the military to invade other states after Washington, D.C. and California.

0

246.305 - 263.47 Ben Meiselas

So he then starts talking about how he has a friend who lives in Los Angeles and this friend just leaves the garage door open in L.A. to allow people to steal the things so that the garage door doesn't get damaged. And what the hell are you even talking about here? Play this clip.

0

263.45 - 287.258 Donald Trump

I've never seen before. Nobody lives like that. I have another friend, he has a garage, and in order to save his garage door, he leaves it open so that people can just walk into his garage, take whatever they want, and leave. But all the cars are, so many cars, I've been told this by many people, stars, big people, they leave their doors open so the doors aren't destroyed by these criminals.

0

287.979 - 290.622 Donald Trump

All over Los Angeles, this is taking place.

290.602 - 317.976 Ben Meiselas

and uh and you know that i mean you've heard that uh christy could you say you know this it's so imbecilic like it's just so stupid the stuff that he's saying the fact that there's people who want to normalize this it just baffles me then he goes yeah also another friend i have in beverly hills in addition to the friend who leaves their garage door open to let people steal because they rather do that than harm the garage door i have friends they leave their trunk door open

317.956 - 331.857 Ben Meiselas

so that people can steal from inside the car so that the trunk isn't damaged. What are you even, what are you talking about? Like, how dumb is this? Who are these friends of yours? Are these your imaginary friends, Donald? Here, play this clip.

331.877 - 343.255 Donald Trump

Thank you very much, Steve. You know, in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills is a great place. I have a house there. I had a house there. I used to stay a lot of time, spend a lot of time there.

343.235 - 367.892 Donald Trump

and a great place you know that i have friends they leave their trunk open for their car because they don't want they know they're going to be vandalized they don't want the trunk ripped off in order for them to steal what's in the back they leave the doors open so when they go in to steal the radio or whatever they take that they don't rip off the door they leave the doors totally open so the criminals when they go and open the door they have to break the windows and

Chapter 5: What are Trump's controversial statements about the war in Ukraine?

407.445 - 419.901 Ben Meiselas

Here's what she says. By the way, this violates a gag order that's in the case. She's not allowed to say this. It's so reckless for an attorney general to be saying this about an active case. It's illegal, frankly, in my opinion. But here, play this clip.

0

419.881 - 439.972 Donald Trump

He beat the hell out of his wife. His wife is afraid to even talk about him. She's been mauled by this animal. And, you know, through a system of liberal courts, you know, he's doing things. But, no, we have that under control. And Pam has got that very much under control. Do you want to comment on it, Pam?

0

439.992 - 448.825 Pam Bondi

No, no, we've got him under control. He will no longer terrorize our country. He's currently charged with human smuggling, including children.

0

448.805 - 474.103 Ben Meiselas

guy needs to be in prison he doesn't need to be on the streets like all these liberals want him to be if you want to talk about actual sex traffickers it's not a brego garcia it's it's people like gillane maxwell who the trump regime has given immunity and given all these like awards to basically um and it's the covering up of the epstein files if you want to talk about actual sex trafficking covering up

0

474.083 - 489.561 Ben Meiselas

It's happening right there in the Oval Office, right before our eyes as we're watching this. Then Donald Trump starts attacking former President Biden and he calls him an idiot. Again, just who behaves like this? I mean, but this is Donald Trump. Here, play this clip.

489.541 - 498.876 Donald Trump

What they've done to our country, these people that circle this moron that we had behind this desk, what they've done to our country is unthinkable.

499.076 - 518.566 Ben Meiselas

It's unthinkable. Right before this press conference took place, Donald Trump posted some conspiracy theory about South Korea. He goes, what's going on in South Korea seems like a purge or revolution. We can't have that and do business there. I'm seeing the new president today at the White House. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

518.606 - 522.391 Ben Meiselas

So a reporter asks him, what are you talking about with South Korea?

Chapter 6: Why does Trump want to rename the Department of Defense?

523.252 - 535.208 Ben Meiselas

What does that even mean? And Donald Trump's like, I don't know. I've read a few things. It may not be true and may be true or not true. Dude, you're the president of the United States. What the hell are you posting? Here, play this clip.

0

535.188 - 537.07 Donald Trump

Very nasty, horrible thing.

0

537.09 - 542.076 Pam Bondi

Yes. Could you please elaborate on your post on South Korea? What were you referring to?

0

542.356 - 562.579 Donald Trump

Well, I heard that there were raids on churches over the last few days, very vicious raids on churches by the new government in South Korea, that they even went into our military base and got information. They probably shouldn't have done that. But I heard bad things. I don't know if it's true or not. I'll be finding out. As you know, your new president's coming and

0

562.559 - 569.367 Donald Trump

Just a couple of hours coming here. I look forward to meeting him. But we won't stand for that. We just won't stand for that.

570.028 - 586.669

How much time, money, and energy have you spent on health, wellness, and beauty products to look and feel younger and healthier? If you're like me, probably too much. Now, I'm so excited to share with you guys C15 from Fatty15, the first emerging essential fatty acid to be discovered in more than 90 years.

587.209 - 594.979

Now, it's an incredible scientific breakthrough to support our long-term health and wellness, and you guessed it, healthy aging.

594.959 - 618.975

fatty 15 co-founder dr stephanie van watson she discovered the benefits of c15 while working with the u.s navy to continually improve the health and welfare of aging dolphins now based on over a hundred studies we now know that c15 strengthens our cells and is a key to healthy aging nutrient which helps to slow biological aging at the cellular level

618.955 - 646.857

Now, in fact, when our cells don't have enough C15, they become fragile and age faster. And when our cells age, our bodies age too. So Fatty 15 is a science-backed, award-winning, patented, 100% pure C15 supplement. It's vegan-friendly, free of flavors, allergens, or preservatives. Fatty 15 has three times more cellular benefits than omega-3s or fish oil. I love Fatty 15.

Chapter 7: What does Trump say about negative press coverage?

690.464 - 712.401 Ben Meiselas

But I'm just going to go and say it as I speak with the leader of South Korea. Screw our alliances and our trading relationships and stability in the world. I'm just going to say things from the Oval Office. Again, this behavior can't be normalized. Then Donald Trump says that he has no problem ordering the National Guard troops into American cities, regardless of what governors want.

0

712.502 - 719.511 Ben Meiselas

Play this clip. Are you prepared to order National Guard troops, though, into American cities if those governors don't request the federal deployment?

0

719.571 - 729.66 Donald Trump

I am, but I also think that, look, Chicago... Everybody knows how bad it is. Everybody standing there knows. We know. You don't have to be doing any studies.

0

730.501 - 754.84 Ben Meiselas

They should be saying, please. Then you have Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, or as Donald Trump now calls the Secretary of War, says, the morale of our troops can never be higher. They love the mission. They love the mission of being in United States cities. Not what our troops are for. to invade American cities? The hell are we talking about here? Here, play this clip.

0

754.861 - 769.102

Defending the nation's capital and ensuring it is safe and beautiful and working with law enforcement. And Mr. President, let me tell you, the morale of the troops getting out there talking to them, they love this mission. They're grateful to be doing it, whether they're D.C. National Guard or other state National Guards.

769.603 - 781.11

And at your direction as well, sir, it's just common sense to make sure they're armed as well. And so they We're showing they're armed, capable of defending themselves and others if need be, supporting law enforcement, and we're proud to be there, sir.

781.343 - 801.784 Ben Meiselas

Well, look at the mission you just accomplished. Then Donald Trump, he spends like five minutes doing this. I'm just going to show you a shorter clip of it where he calls J.B. Pritzker, the governor of Illinois, a slob. In other clips, Donald Trump says he needs to go to the gym. You need to go to the gym and you need to get checked out, whatever the hell is on your hand, Donald.

801.824 - 812.74 Ben Meiselas

That's what you also need to do. Donald Trump says, they all say that I'm a dictator. I'm not a dictator. I could be a dictator, but I'm not a dictator. Here, play this clip.

813.441 - 828.732 Donald Trump

It would be good to work together. So I'm thinking about, you know, when I have some slob like Pritzker criticizing us before we even go there, I made the statement that next should be Chicago, because as you all know, Chicago is a killing field right now and they don't acknowledge it.

Chapter 8: What bizarre claims does Trump make about California?

829.285 - 842.822 Donald Trump

And they say, we don't need him. Freedom, freedom. He's a dictator. He's a dictator. A lot of people are saying maybe we like a dictator. I don't like a dictator. I'm not a dictator. I'm a man with great common sense and a smart person.

0

843.038 - 854.653 Ben Meiselas

Then Donald Trump says that Biden wasn't even alive when he was in office and thus all of Biden's pardons should be eliminated because Biden was never really alive. Here, play this clip.

0

855.794 - 878.902 Donald Trump

Because the person that ran it said he spoke to him briefly twice about nothing. That means that all those pardons that he gave to some very bad people, very unpatriotic people, very evil people, it looks to me like those pardons are worthless. Because, number one, you shouldn't use an auto pen, very specifically. But if you do, it has to be a very good reason.

0

879.643 - 897.143 Donald Trump

And they have to know that the president wanted it. The president didn't want this. The president didn't know he was alive, okay? He never approved any of this stuff. He wasn't for open borders and all the other things. He was never for open borders. I've known Biden a long time. He was never...

0

897.562 - 904.556 Donald Trump

very sharp, but he was never in favor of open borders and all of the other things he did to destroy our country. Let's go.

904.576 - 906.961

Lastly, sir, this is an executive order on Flagberg.

906.981 - 926.855 Ben Meiselas

Then Donald Trump lies and claims that he stopped all of these wars, multiple wars, seven wars, three wars, 10 wars. He says that he likes black people because he stopped the war in Rwanda and Congo. He claims he did that. That's how he says he loves black people. He says deep, dark Africa. He says deep, dark Africa is what he says.

927.196 - 944.954 Ben Meiselas

And then he tries to take credit for stopping the war between India and Pakistan. That would have been a nuclear war. So you have deep, dark Africa. He says he says the war between India and Pakistan, which would have been there would have been nukes. He saved the world, everybody. What are you talking about? You didn't stop any of these wars.

945.594 - 954.305 Ben Meiselas

India and Pakistan, the Indian prime minister and foreign minister even say you have nothing to do with it. You've destroyed the relationship between the United States and India, but play this clip.
