What happened during Trump's press conference?
Donald Trump just gave a disastrous press conference in the White House that is sparking more questions about his mental fitness and cognitive decline. Trump did not seem to be aware of much of what was going on in his administration. This, as the Federal Reserve was sounding the alarm about the collapsing economy. My name is Brett Miscellus with the Midas Touch Network. Remember to subscribe and add the Midas Touch Podcast right now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify for more. This tweet from reporter Sam Stein summed up this press conference perfectly. When Trump was asked to comment about Vance saying that Russia was asking for too much in negotiations, Trump replied, When did he say that? It's possible he's right.
On news that the Trump administration is now going to deport migrants to Libya, Trump said, I don't know. You'll have to ask Homeland Security. On Republican Senator Tom Tillis opposing Trump's nominee Ed Martin for U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Trump replied, "...I didn't know that." As Max Burns wrote, "...either Trump's cognitive function is in sharp decline or his White House team is intentionally keeping him out of the loop on key national security issues, or both. Any combination of those things is a huge problem." Let's go through some of the lowlights here. Donald Trump rambled and complained that the U.S. doesn't get enough credit for World War II as he designated Thursday as Victory Day. Here's the clip.
And it's, I really believe it's a shame. You know, I was watching for the last week. And I noticed France. I noticed other countries all getting ready for Victory Day. And I said, that's sort of strange because David just added something. He said, we also rebuilt the world. And I didn't have that. And I should have that. That was a big factor. But I noticed all of the countries, Russia, having a big day tomorrow. And by the way, they lost millions of people. And they were absolutely a major factor. But there was no major factor like us. We won the war. And we won it with the help of others. But everybody was celebrating but the United States of America. And I said, you know, I think it's time that we start celebrating victory.
And that's what we're doing.
Oh, and if that wasn't enough, Trump said we're actually going to have two victory days now, one for World War I and one for World War II, but said that the American people get too much time off as it is. I don't even know. Watch this.
All Americans should take pride in what these incredible patriots have achieved. So I just want to say happy victory day to all. So we are celebrating every year now. I can guarantee for four years, but I think after that, we're going to have two victory days, World War I... And World War II. This is World War II Victory Day. In the future, we're going to have a major celebration of each day. We're not going to have days off because we don't have enough days in the year. We have too many celebrations already.
Trump was also asked about his administration's plans to now send migrants to Libya. Trump said he didn't know anything about it. Watch this. So three US officials have now confirmed to the press that the Trump administration is planning on deporting migrants to Libya for the first time this week. Human rights groups have called Libya's detention centers, quote, horrific and deplorable. And the State Department has even called these facilities harsh and life-threatening. The State Department even has a travel warning for Libya, warning of terrorism, kidnapping, and armed conflict in the region. This is just yet another dehumanizing idea by the Trump administration, and one that Trump is saying he just knows nothing about.
Trump was then asked about his trade war, which is having devastating effects on the U.S. economy. Trump was asked if he would exempt products that families rely on from his tariffs, and he said, like everything else, he didn't know. Watch this.
The Treasury Secretary just told lawmakers that a tariff exemption for certain baby items like car seats is under consideration. Will you exempt some products that families don't know?
