This is Ben on Breaking News. I'm Ben Mycelis and this is your Breaking News. All hell is breaking loose across the world as a result of Donald Trump's utter incompetence, his weakness, how pathetic he is, is permeating the entire globe. Donald Trump was getting booed mercilessly at Madison Square Garden last night for game three of the NBA finals between the Knicks and the Spurs, the Spurs won, which the Knicks had a 13 game winning streak before Donald Trump showed up, forced Madison Square Garden to basically shut down or NYPD had to shut down the perimeter, taking away the joy from the fans who are having these.
What recent event caused Donald Trump to get booed at Madison Square Garden?
Uh, parties outside and they were having watch parties and celebrating. There were such great vibes in Manhattan. Donald Trump destroys that as he and his cabinet members, you know, strolled in on the motorcade and then Donald Trump showed up. He got booed during the national anthem. He started stuffing his face with hamburgers and French fries and pizza. I mean, like it looked like he ate three burgers, five slices of pizza and kept on stuffing his face with fries and like throwing the trash on the floor. And then he fell asleep. He fell asleep during the finals game. For those on audio, I'm showing him sleeping next to the billionaire owner, James Dolan of the Knicks. They're both asleep. This is the NBA finals that you've destroyed the experience of New Yorkers for you to show up and fall asleep there.
And then he left seven minutes early. He then leaves the game early so he could avoid traffic.
How did Trump's behavior impact the experience of NBA fans?
And while all of that was going on, a Apache helicopter was shot down over the Strait of Hormuz, or rather was hit by a Shahi drone belonging to Iran because Iran's made it very clear. This is our area. These are our territorial waters. So if you're going to fly Apaches or you're going to fly any of your planes over the Strait, which is now jointly controlled by Iran and Oman, it don't belong to you. You live thousands of miles away. So if you come here with your Apaches, we are going to respond. And that's what happened. And the Apache helicopter got hit with the Shahid drone. New York Times reported this last night. If you look at the sequencing of what went down, the Apache helicopter was shot down at right around the same time Donald Trump was leaving to go to Madison Square Garden.
And the rescue was taking place essentially while he was there sleeping. in Madison Square Garden while he was stuffing his face with burgers and pizza and French fries. The rescue mission was taking place. He was asked about it while he was on the tarmac, and he was like, oh, we don't really know what's happening. I'll find out more. We'll find out more. Maybe you should be doing your damn job versus being in Madison Square Garden where nobody wanted you there. And maybe you should be focused on what's actually happening in the damn globe right now. How about we do that? Then he goes silent for most of the morning until about an hour ago or two hours ago. Meanwhile, the markets crashed this morning.
His beloved markets, my markets, my Dow, my NASDAQ, my S&P absolutely crashed. They started crashing last Friday. They started crashing again. One of the pieces of news now is because you can't do this shit forever. Excuse my language. You can't just have your Ponzi scheme go on and on and on. Eventually, the rubber meets the road. Eventually, this is exactly what I've been warning about now forever. But especially, I said, look, you can't. can't keep on dragging this on and saying, oh, am I going to do a deal tomorrow? I'm going to do another deal. My deal's going to be so powerful. 21 trillion. I've done this amount of money. At some point, it catches up to you. This is what's happened in Donald Trump's life.
His whole life has been this scam. Like, don't you realize it? Look at this orange freaking mutant right here. This red faced, orange faced mutant right here. This is not how human beings are supposed to behave. This is not normal human behavior. I mean, over the weekend, screaming at Kristen Welker, I really won the 2020 election.
