Ben Meiselas: 我认为特朗普正在摧毁一切。他毁掉了白宫的玫瑰园,想把它变成像海湖庄园一样的庭院,或者一个巨大的特朗普商店,出售他的特朗普圣经、特朗普吉他、特朗普运动鞋和特朗普手机。此外,特朗普在几天前举行新闻发布会时,利用尤文图斯足球俱乐部作为道具,这非常怪异。更令人担忧的是,特朗普政权目前与国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德没有任何沟通,因为她最近在国会宣誓作证说,伊朗不可能在短期内制造出核武器,所以特朗普根本不想和她说话。特朗普也不想和国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯通话,在以色列和伊朗之间的战争升级之际,白宫和国防部之间没有任何行动上的联系。当特朗普和福克斯等人威胁可能对伊朗发动核战争时,国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯却在五角大楼和赛车冠军一起砸西瓜,这简直是玩忽职守。现在,特朗普在新泽西州的贝德明斯特打高尔夫球,还发布QAnon阴谋论的表情包,暗示他将再次成为总统,行为非常不正常。更令人担忧的是,特朗普还在帖子中称美联储主席是愚蠢的、笨蛋和白痴,并抱怨成本,认为降低利率可以为美国节省高达1万亿美元。他甚至承认自己对美联储主席的强烈批评会让他更难降低利率,但他已经尝试了各种方法,包括友好、中立和恶劣。我认为特朗普比金正恩更不稳定,他的行为不正常。此外,特朗普还抱怨福克斯新闻允许杰西卡·塔洛夫评论《The Five》,并称她的声音、举止和言论是对电视广播的耻辱,这简直是性别歧视。最令人震惊的是,特朗普声称他与国务卿马可·卢比奥一起安排了刚果民主共和国和卢旺达共和国之间的一项和平条约,但他甚至不认识刚果在哪里。我认为特朗普的行为是一种羞辱仪式,他正在把我们拖入深渊。更可悲的是,巴基斯坦政府将推荐特朗普获得2026年诺贝尔和平奖,以表彰他在最近的印巴危机中的外交干预和领导作用,而巴基斯坦是一个威权政权,曾向特朗普家族的加密货币业务投资了数百万美元,并且与恐怖主义有联系,还被认为窝藏了本·拉登。印度政府表示,特朗普与任何谈判都没有关系,印度不接受美国的任何调解。习近平也表示,特朗普没有与他达成任何协议。我认为特朗普在撒谎,他只是在自己的虚构世界里编造对话。现在,特朗普在全美各地派遣他的盖世太保,追捕在Home Depot前卖食物的移民小贩,他们还藏在工厂、餐馆和法院外。这些人都将出现在世界杯和奥运会上,他们可能会在那里等待,抓捕外国游客。此外,通货膨胀和失业率都在上升,GDP也在萎缩。美国消费者认为通货膨胀率将上升到7.3%,阿波罗私人股本公司担心我们获得的关于通货膨胀的经济数据不准确,因为它来自特朗普政权。我认为特朗普政权解雇了大部分数据分析师,导致消费者价格指数中的价格数据很多都是猜测。我总是说,相信你自己的观察,而不是福克斯的宣传或特朗普的说法。特朗普需要两周时间去打高尔夫球,而不是处理伊朗的核危机,这简直是荒谬。

They destroyed the entire Rose Garden and put concrete all over it because they want to build a courtyard now at the White House to make it look like Mar-a-Lago or as one person online said,

Maybe they're going to make a big, gigantic Trump shop where he can sell his Trump Bibles and his Trump guitars and his Trump sneakers and his Trump phones as he and his family grift away.

You know, one of the things that we're hearing from today is from the Juventus football club, the Italian soccer team or football team, if you're anywhere but the United States, that Donald Trump used as props in the background when he held that speech.

bizarre press conference a few days ago where he was talking about going to war with Iran and how it seemed like it was going to be imminent and we got to kill the Ayatollah. And then he ended up saying, no, I need two weeks, two weeks later, two weeks later. But some of the Juventus players, they're saying we really didn't want to be there. FIFA forced us to be there as part of the promotion of FIFA events in the United States.

And they were like, we were standing there and it was just super weird. It was really weird. We didn't want to be there. We didn't know what the hell was even going on. From the weird to the perverse to the dangerous, it's the Trump regime in effect.

So right now, the Trump regime is not having any communications at all with Tulsi Gabbard. Tulsi Gabbard is the director of national intelligence. She should be the person with the foremost information regarding things like the nuclear capabilities of Iran.

But because she recently testified before Congress under oath that Iran was not capable of making nuclear weapons anytime soon, Donald Trump doesn't want to talk to Tulsi Gabbard at all. She's been sidelined. I'll show you right here. This is Donald Trump when he was asked about his own intelligence community, saying that Iran was...

not capable of building nuclear weapons. He was just like, "I don't trust her. She's wrong. She doesn't know what she's talking about." Dude, you picked her, dude. She's the head of national intelligence. She's your DNI. Play this clip. - What intelligence do you have that Iran is building a nuclear weapon? Your intelligence community has said they have no evidence that they are at this point. - Well, then my intelligence community is wrong. Who in the intelligence community said that? - Your director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.

She's wrong. But it's not just Tulsi Gabbard. Donald Trump also doesn't want to talk to Pete Hegseth, his defense secretary. Nobody is talking to Hegseth at all right now. There is no interface operationally between Hegseth, runs the Defense Department, and the White House while the war between Israel and Iran is escalating and escalating.

The potential for U.S. involvement in this war, based on Donald Trump's recklessness, seems to increase every day.

What is Pete Hegseth doing? What is the defense secretary spending his time doing as Donald Trump and Fox and others are threatening potential nuclear war in Iran? What would he be doing? Well, the Coca-Cola 600 champion Ross Chaston visited the Pentagon and he and Pete Hegseth were smashing watermelons all day. Watch Pete Hegseth

Working hard preparing for war in the Middle East or just smashing watermelons. Play this clip. All right, one, two, three. Well, Donald Trump.

He's now in Bedminster, New Jersey. He's playing golf. He's in his safe space. He's in his little bunker. Earlier in the week, he was whining. I haven't got to play golf. Did you know that I won 34 national championship, 44, 34 titles? I'm the greatest golfer ever.

At Ben Minster, Donald Trump is posting QAnon memes. Trust the plan. I was the hunted. Now I'm the hunter. Nothing can stop what is coming. The golden age meme by Donald Trump. 45, 47, 48. That's right. I'm going to be the 48th president also. Very normal behavior. I'm being sarcastic for Donald Trump to be posting. We need this winning to continue. Yeah, inflation, inflation.

rising, going to be 3%, unemployment rising, all of the bad...

Mortgage rates rising. Just if you go look at things like what's the price of ground beef, for example, right now, the average cost of a pound of ground beef is climbing towards $6 over the past few years. The average price was $5.98 in May, the highest ever. So the price of ground beef continues to go up also because of the instability in the Middle East. Gas prices are going to go back up. Inflation is

surging. Inflation is surging. What's Donald Trump doing? What's he posting? Post after post after post. I want you just to visually look at these three posts that I'm about to share with you.

This is what this guy is doing. He writes these screeds that look like the freaking Unabomber. Like, it looks like a 5150 person, you know, wrote these things. But I'm not going to read the whole thing to you. But in this one, in this post, he calls the chairman of the Federal Reserve stupid. He calls him a numbskull. He calls him a moron. He goes too far.

Too late, Powell, that's his name for the chairman of the Federal Reserve, complains about costs, much of which were produced by the Biden fake government. But he could do the biggest and best job for our country by helping to lower interest rates. And if he reduced them to the number they should be.

1% to 2%, that numbskull would be saving the United States of America up to $1 trillion per year. I fully understand that my strong criticism of him makes it more difficult for him to do what he should be doing, lowering rates. But I've tried it all different ways. I've been nice, I've been neutral, and I've been nasty.

And nice and neutral didn't work. He's a dumb guy and an obvious Trump hater who should never have been there. I listened to someone that I shouldn't have listened to. And Biden shouldn't have reappointed him. We have virtually no inflation. Our economy is doing well and will soon be doing with the tremendous tariff income consequences.

coming in and factories being built all over the country. He then goes, I'll have to change my mind about firing him? So you have the president of the United States calling the chairman of the Federal Reserve numbskull, saying the prior administration was a fake government, calling Powell a moron, saying I've been nasty to you.

I mean, can you imagine if another world leader behaved this way, what we Americans would think about him? Donald Trump's way more unstable than Kim Jong-un. At Kim Jong-un's crazies, remember we were like, Rocket Man, Donald Trump is crazy, man. I mean, this shouldn't be a political thing. What I read for you is not normal behavior.

Oh, and then Donald Trump spends his time whining about Fox. Why does Fox News allow failed TV personality Jessica Tarlov to quote soil the five? So what you're putting soil in quotes like telling you Trump's a perverted, disgusting human being. Her voice, her manner and above all else, what she says are a disgrace to television broadcasting.

Donald Trump misogynism. Her voice. I've had the best poll numbers I've ever had. Fact check. Lowest poll numbers in presidential history. Quinnipiac.

AP, NORC, YouGov, have your approval somewhere between 38 to 42%. You're the least liked president at this point in a term basically ever. You've had somewhere between on the low end, 6 million, on the high end, 12 to 13 million. Americans show up on their weekend to protest you because we all hate you.

Donald Trump then goes on to whine about Biden and whine about this and why I'm not going to read you the rest of it. It's annoying. Then Donald Trump posts the following. I am very happy to report that I have arranged along with secretary of state, Marco Rubio, a wonderful treaty between the democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Rwanda in their war, which was known for violent bloodshed and death. Pause right there.

You don't know where the Congo is. I have receipts. Play this clip. Many, many people come from the Congo. I don't know what that is, but they came from the Congo. So then Donald Trump goes on to say, I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize for this. I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the war between India and Pakistan.

I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the war between Serbia and Kosovo. I won't get a peace prize for keeping peace between Egypt and Ethiopia. No, I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Iran, whatever those outcomes may be. But the people know that's all that matters to me. That's what you're posting?

That's what you're posting as an American. This is the most humiliating. This is truly a humiliation ritual that this vile piece of trash Donald Trump is putting us is putting us through here. And anybody who looks at this and is like, yeah, Donald. Yeah, Trump, man. Trump, Trump. Really? You want to see Trump?

what the Trump supporters look like here. Let me show you this video of Forgatio Blow and this other person. Her name is like, whoa, something. I don't even know. Whoa, Karen or something. I don't know what her name is. But this is, you know, there's tens of millions of Americans, I guess, like this. And this is why Donald Trump says he likes the poorly educated. Here, play this clip. Trump 2028, what?

48th president, Trump. Show them your new hat. Show them your new hat. Trump is the president, baby, forever. 2038, no cap. How did Trump have you flossing? How did Trump have you flossing? Money. Money. People was getting money. People was out here, man.

Well, the government of Pakistan is saying we're going to recommend you Donald Trump for a 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. The government of Pakistan has decided to formally recommend Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis.

Yay, Donald, the authoritarian regime in Pakistan who invested in your family's crypto business millions of dollars. They want to give you the Nobel Peace Prize with all of their ties to terrorism and their and the belief that they were hiding bin Laden. You're going to get the Nobel Peace Prize recommendation from the government of Pakistan.

Meanwhile, the government of India says that you had nothing to do at all with any zero negotiations, that India doesn't accept any mediation by the United States. And everybody just says that you're lying. Xi Jinping says you never. I

I did a deal with Xi Jinping. He always wants to call me. Xi Jinping says, nope, that didn't happen. India says, nope, there was no deal that happened. You just make up conversations in your own fictitious, delusional world. And by the way, here's so everybody can see, here's what the India foreign minister had to say. Let's play this clip. I think the deal I'm most proud of is the fact that

We're dealing with India, we're dealing with Pakistan, and we were able to stop potentially a nuclear war through trade as opposed to through bullets. You know, normally they do it through bullets. We do it through trade.

I'm very proud of that. Prime Minister Modi clearly told President Trump that during this entire episode, there was never any discussion at any level about an India-U.S. trade deal or U.S. mediation.

between India and Pakistan. The discussion to halt military action occurred directly between India and Pakistan through existing channels between both armies and was made at Pakistan's request. Prime Minister Modi firmly stated that India has neither accepted mediation nor does it do so and never will do.

There Is Complete Political Unanimity On This Subject In India. President Trump Understood The Details Explained By The Prime Minister

and expressed support for India's fight against terrorism. Prime Minister Modi also said that India now sees terrorism not as a proxy war, but as a war. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has his Gestapo across America dressed in their face masks and chasing down migrants.

who are vendors serving food in front of Home Depots and they're going in factories and restaurants and hiding out outside of courtrooms. Just take a look at what it looks like on the streets of Mexico right now. And by the way, these are the people who are apparently going to be at the World Cup.

who are going to be at the Olympics. They're going to be waiting there, I guess, snatching foreign visitors who show up. I guess that one of the things, too, we know inflation is rising. We know unemployment is rising. We know there's a GDP contraction taking place.

American consumers, by the way, believe inflation is going to rise to 7.3%. I don't think it's going to get that high. But the Fed believes it's going to hit 3%. I think it'll be more like 4.5%, 5% within the next 18 months. But look, Apollo, private equity firm Apollo, one of the things that they're worried about right now is that the economic data we're even getting about inflation is inaccurate because it's coming from the Trump regime. They've fired more

most of their data analysts who aggregate this data. Do you believe the Trump regime is giving you accurate data on the economy? And so almost a third of the prices now going into the CPI at the moment, the consumer price index are just guesses that are being made. And how do you think the regime is guessing? How do you think we're getting this data? That's very problematic.

I always say, trust yourself. You go into the grocery store. You go into department stores. You go shopping. When Trump says gas is $1.98, you go, uh.

No, it's not. When Trump says everything is cheaper and I look at the prices, I go, nah, it's actually more expensive. When Trump says there's a manufacturing boom, when factories are being shut down and people are cutting jobs, I go, you're a liar. When Donald Trump says all of these things that are verifiably false, I trust the fact that I can observe it and not what Fox propaganda or what Donald Trump's saying about it. So you tell me what you think.

Anyway, hit subscribe. Donald Trump's vacationing. Go back to vacation. We were all told Iran's going to have a nuclear weapon in a day or two, a day or two if we don't do something. But Trump goes, I need two weeks, two weeks. I'm going to go golfing. That's how urgent this nuclear crisis is that Trump needs two weeks. Seriously?
