Chapter 1: Why is Donald Trump panicking over Iran's actions?

0.031 - 23.095 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump has been panicking all morning. He is having a disastrous weekend. He is lying now and saying that the United States is sending warships along with many other nations in order to stop Iran from continuing to block the Strait of Hormuz. This is likely news to these many other nations who have not made such a commitment.

Chapter 2: What false claims is Trump making about the Strait of Hormuz?

23.175 - 44.905 Ben Meiselas

In fact, They are furious at the United States for launching this unlawful and disastrous invasion of Iran that has now embroiled the entire world in a war. You can see the panic oozing through Donald Trump's meltdown post this morning. Let me just show you what he is posting. Donald Trump writes,

44.885 - 69.098 Ben Meiselas

Many countries, especially those who are affected by Iran's attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending warships in conjunction with the United States of America to keep the Strait open and safe. So pause there. So we're sending the Navy into the Strait of Hormuz, Donald? Or are you just making that up? You're just making that up.

0

69.118 - 92.275 Ben Meiselas

And now you're saying that all these other nations will be joining our Navy in and going into the Strait of Hormuz, they're not doing that. So when they read your messages, you just look utterly pathetic. Now, this may work to your dwindling MAGA base here in the United States, but when you post things like this, it just makes the United States look so utterly weak, just like you.

0

92.796 - 123.295 Ben Meiselas

Trump goes on to write, we have already destroyed 100% of Iran's military capability. but it's easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close-range missile somewhere along or in this waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Okay, they have not been badly defeated. Their military capabilities have not been 100% destroyed. How do we know that?

0

Chapter 3: How are other nations reacting to Trump's invasion of Iran?

123.736 - 134.157 Ben Meiselas

Because we see their attacks on the surrounding Arab nations where there are United States interests day in and day out. I'll get to more of that in a moment.

0

134.137 - 157.423 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump then goes on to say in this post, hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others that are affected by this artificial constraint will send ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a nation that has been totally decapitated. They have not been totally decapitated.

0

157.804 - 184.356 Ben Meiselas

They had a relatively smooth transfer of power to the new Ayatollah Mojave. We saw all of their top leadership marching in a parade at the end of last week. They've never actually been rallying more closer together than they are right now, based on the actions by you and Netanyahu. You've turned any possible support for the United States away right now.

0

184.777 - 207.732 Ben Meiselas

And you also don't even understand the way world alliances work. the fact that you're lumping together China and Japan and South Korea and France and the UK and others, what, this is gonna be your coalition? You think this makes sense? You do realize that in Iran right now, they are letting Chinese ships go through the Strait of Hormuz because

Chapter 4: What does Trump's social media activity reveal about his state of mind?

207.712 - 230.766 Ben Meiselas

They are allied together the same way Russia is allied with Iran and Iran is getting material support from Russia and likely China in this war against the United States and against Israel. Don't you see that that's what's happening? Are you too dense or are you just a liar about everything or probably just both here?

0

230.746 - 256.589 Ben Meiselas

Then Donald Trump goes on to continue to say, in the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline and continually shooting Iranian boats and ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz straight open, safe and free. Don't you think you should have planned this, I don't know, before your unlawful invasion of Iran?

0

257.091 - 282.642 Ben Meiselas

And then when you use language like, we're going to bomb the hell out of the shoreline, don't you realize that it's language like that? And it's conduct like that that turns the entire world against you, that makes you lose any type of public support you potentially can have. Don't you see that that's what rallies the Iranian people around the current Islamic Republic regime?

0

282.963 - 304.611 Ben Meiselas

Because they're thinking either we're going this direction, you know, with the current Islamic Republic regime. And with Iran as is, or we're going with the Epstein class. We're going with a guy covering up child sex trafficking who's talking about obliterating us and blowing us up to hell. And we've seen what Israel did in Gaza. We see what they're doing in Lebanon.

0

304.692 - 324.975 Ben Meiselas

We see what they're doing right now. We see what the United States and why would we want to go with you? Don't you see that that's actually what's happening? And you're solidifying the Islamic Republic regime right now. When in war, you probably want to try to make friends, not enemies, and build support and coalitions. You don't get that, do you, Donald?

325.396 - 348.606 Ben Meiselas

You take a look what's happening right now. Videos being released as Donald Trump is posting that. Videos are being released showing large black smoke plumes rising from attacks carried out by Iran's unmanned aerial vehicles. on oil facilities at the Fujairah port in the United Arab Emirates. Just take a look. This is like their biggest oil port right here.

349.567 - 367.352 Ben Meiselas

You can see right here the local government confirms that Iranian drones targeted the area, but they say that it was damaged from falling debris. That's the new thing that all these Arab nations are saying when their buildings get blown up by the Shahid drones. They go, it wasn't the drone. It was the falling debris.

367.332 - 386.492 Ben Meiselas

they're calling the drones the falling debris but you see what's going on right there oh and then donald trump posts the following as well yet again an intentionally misleading headline by fake news media about five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an airport in saudi arabia and of no further use.

386.613 - 409.473 Ben Meiselas

In actuality, the base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not struck or destroyed. Four or five had virtually no damage. They're already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. Just pause there. One, you're likely lying. Two, if you're not, why are you giving all of these operational details out there? Why are you posting all of these images?

Chapter 5: How has Trump's rhetoric impacted U.S. global standing?

424.512 - 447.477 Ben Meiselas

None were destroyed, but the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and other low-life papers and media actually want us to lose the war. And the Wall Street Journal in particular wants us to lose the war. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of actual facts. They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they caused the United States of America.

0

447.898 - 466.848 Ben Meiselas

Fortunately, as proven by our great conclusive election in 2024, the people understand what is happening. Okay, this is the most. You want to talk about demented people? Put up a mirror to yourself. Everything that Donald Trump says is projection and confession. As you know, the Wall Street Journal reported how these five U.S.

0

466.868 - 488.694 Ben Meiselas

tankers were struck and damaged on the grounds at the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia during an Iranian ballistic missile strike. But hey, Donald, you know what you should probably be posting about as well? How those same types of planes, the KC-135, right? That was the plane that went down as well over Western Iraq.

0

489.115 - 512.005 Ben Meiselas

The KC-135, where six crew members were killed and it took you almost, what, a day and a half? before admitting that that's what actually took place to the American people when anyone knows the way a K, well, you didn't admit it, it was CENTCOM that admitted, you haven't even addressed it yet. But everybody who knows the KC-135 Stratotankers know they don't have ejection methods,

0

511.985 - 532.328 Ben Meiselas

They don't have parachutes. If those things go down, they're refueling planes. So, you know, we all knew what the likely outcome was, but the CENTCOM still wanted to cover it up. And I still think they're covering up how that plane fell from the sky in general. They're saying it wasn't friendly fire. It wasn't hostile fire. So what happened? It just crashed on its own.

532.649 - 556.276 Ben Meiselas

It's more cover up from CENTCOM. And Donald Trump isn't even addressing what's happening. not even addressing the casualties, no posts about that. Instead, he's making fake posts about countries joining us in the Strait of Hormuz, just more lies. And this, as we learned, that 5,000 Marine Expeditionary Forces are coming in from Japan.

556.336 - 583.757 Ben Meiselas

This Marine Expeditionary Unit is usually the precursor to a ground invasion. Donald Trump said he bombed the Karg Island in the northern Persian Gulf. And there's speculation, is there going to be a ground invasion there? Is Donald Trump getting lured into this kind of ground war in Iran, which would be utterly disastrous right now? What we do know is this war is expanding as well.

583.737 - 600.413 Ben Meiselas

And it's expanding its fronts. And so, you know, you have different kind of points of where this war is taking place, obviously in the Middle East. And obviously it's from Russia's invasion of Ukraine at all, which took place, you know, several years ago, back from 2022, right?

600.393 - 626.294 Ben Meiselas

And so you have right now Iran's kind of top national security advisor to their parliament, a guy by the name of Ibrahim Azizi. And he writes, by providing drone support to the Israeli regime, Failed Ukraine has effectively become involved in the war and under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter has turned its entire territory into a legitimate target of Iran.
