What happened during Trump's disastrous press conference in the Oval Office?
Donald Trump just had a disastrous press conference in the Oval Office. At the same time, he has ordered his MAGA stooges to effectively shut down the House of Representatives. Yet again, he has ordered his MAGA stooges not to advance what's called the rule in the House of Representatives to allow voting on additional legislation. He says, Until the United States Senate agrees to pass his Voting Suppression Act, he wants Congress to be shut down.
Why did Trump order the House of Representatives to shut down?
Let me show you what was going on, though, during this disastrous Oval Office press conference where Donald Trump said that he would not be signing the housing bill that was just passed on a bipartisan basis to try to make housing more affordable and accessible to Americans and especially for first-time homeowners. Watch what Donald Trump says. Let's play this clip.
I said I'm not signing the housing bill. I want to see what happens.
What are the implications of Trump's refusal to sign the housing bill?
Look, the housing bill is housing. I made billions of dollars with housing. I know housing better than anybody, maybe anywhere. It's all about the interest rate. Lower the interest rates. You can have all the housing you want. But you have to understand, I don't want to hurt people that own houses, too. These people, for the first time in their lives, they have valuable houses. They become rich. I don't want to hurt them either.
How does Trump justify his stance on interest rates and housing?
What you want to do is, what, good for everyone? Get the interest rates down. We have this numbskull that was the head of the Fed before, and he's a stupid person. And we call him too late because he was too late with the interest rates all the time. We need low interest rates. Low interest rates will solve everything. We'll solve that. Now, despite that, we're doing well with housing.
Now, fortunately, the housing bill was passed by a veto-proof majority in both the House and the Senate. If Donald Trump doesn't take any action, it automatically will become law in 10 days.
What is Trump's perspective on the bipartisan housing bill's impact?
If Donald Trump vetoes it, then the veto has to be overridden by the House and the Senate, so we'll see where that goes. But at the same time, Donald Trump is attacking this bipartisan affordability housing bill, he says, we're doing great on affordability. Here, play this clip.
Affordability, we're doing great. The Democrats gave us a tremendous affordability problem and we're reducing prices a lot.
He then says that he finds Mamdani to be very attractive. He's attracted to Mamdani and Mamdani is charming. Here's what he says. Let's play this clip.
How does Trump react to criticism regarding his MOU with Iran?
Mandavi was here, as you know, twice. And he's a very nice guy. He's a charming guy, good looking guy. We talk, but you can't raise taxes on people when you force them to leave your state or your city and they're leaving and they're going to Florida.
Then Donald Trump said that his deal with Iran, the MOU, was gonna be so perfect that he was about to do the strongest and most powerful deal ever. However, he says, the United States Senate then passed a war powers resolution, concurrent resolution with the House of Representatives. And that destroyed his ability to negotiate because Iran said, wait, the United States Senate just did a concurrent war powers resolution. So that's why Donald Trump is saying there may be problems with his MOU.
What are the recurring themes in Trump's blame cycle?
By the way, the MOU was done before the War Powers Resolution. This is what Donald Trump does. He blames everyone and everything for what he does. This is his plan. This is the Trump blame cycle. Here, play this clip.
So, we're doing great in our negotiations with Iran. Right in the middle of one of the key things, which we're gonna get anyway, we got We have breaking news. The Senate has voted that they'd like Trump to stop the war.
How does Trump respond to questions about accountability for war crimes?
So Iran sees that, and they go, what's that all about? Now, you know it's meaningless, right?
Now, speaking of the Trump blame cycle, he then says, you know, look, the reflecting pool, it was about to be so beautiful for July 4th. It was going to be amazing. But then he said the vandal started gashing it. The MOU was going to be perfect. The reflecting pool was going to be beautiful. But then all these people interfered.
