How did Trump's speech begin to derail?
So we're not even halfway through Donald Trump's joint address to Congress. It's already off the rails and one of the worst speeches I've ever seen. We are not broadcasting it live because I don't need to show Trump propaganda. I want to show you the lowlights, however, in summary fashion. So we're only halfway through. I'll do a full review of what went down. But here's what's happening so far.
What accusations did Trump make against the Democrats?
Donald Trump attacked the Democrats for not applauding him for achievements that he did not actually do. But he's upset that they're not applauding him for hypothetical achievements. Play this clip.
Fifth such speech to Congress. And once again, I look at the Democrats in front of me. And I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud. Nothing I can do. I could find a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history. or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded. And these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements.
They won't do it, no matter. Then Donald Trump brags about the gold card that he is introducing, that he's selling for $5 million, where Russian oligarchs and Chinese oligarchs can purchase citizenship in the United States. Here, play this clip.
What is the controversial 'gold card' Trump proposed?
With that goal in mind, we have developed in great detail what we are calling the gold card, which goes on sale very, very soon. For $5 million, we will allow the most successful job creating people from all over the world to buy a path to U.S. citizenship. It's like the green card, but better and more sophisticated. And these people will have to pay tax in our country. They won't have to pay tax from where they came. The money that they've made, you wouldn't want to do that, but they have to pay tax, create jobs. They'll also be taking people out of colleges and paying for them so that we can keep them in our country instead of having them being forced out. Number one at the top school, as an example, being forced out and not being allowed to stay and create tremendous numbers of jobs and great success for a company out there. So while we take out the criminals, killers, traffickers.
Who does Trump blame for economic issues?
Then Donald Trump blames the surging prices of groceries and surging prices of eggs, the surging inflation and the terrible economy right now and the markets crashing. He blames it all on former President Biden. You can hear the audible groans in the crowd. Let's play it.
Joe Biden especially let the price of eggs get out of control. The egg price is out of control and we're working hard to get it back down. Secretary, do a good job on that. You inherited a total mess from the previous administration. Do a good job.
Then Donald Trump mentions an African nation and the word trans and Republicans find this to be hilarious. Here, play this clip.
What controversial topics did Trump address in his speech?
$8 million to promote LGBTQI+. in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of. $60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America. $60 million. $8 million for making mice transgender. This is real.
$32 million. Then Donald Trump talks about sports team with trans women losing their funding. This is one of his biggest priorities as Americans are suffering from the markets crashing from cuts to Medicaid to cuts to our government. This is their main issue. Here, play this clip.
Peyton is here tonight in the gallery, and Peyton, from now on, schools will kick the men off the girls' team or they will lose all federal funding.
and to make things very clear where Republicans stand on these issues as Elon Musk and his team of 19 to 25 year olds are going through your personal and private data, social security information, medical information, tax information, and gutting critical programs, FAA jobs, social security administration jobs, national park jobs, other government jobs that are very, very, very important and treating people so cruelly. Elon Musk gets the biggest standing ovation from Republicans as Democrats. Stay seated. Here, play this clip.
