Ben Meiselas: 我注意到特朗普周末躲在贝德明斯特打高尔夫球,这一举动引来了全世界的嘲笑。他还在社交媒体上发布照片,试图展现强硬形象,但这并没有改变他被嘲笑的现实。更令人担忧的是,特朗普政府的政策和行为,例如声称洛杉矶等城市被非法移民入侵并借此募捐,以及拆毁白宫玫瑰园等举动,都引发了广泛争议。此外,特朗普政府发布的预算法案,实际上是对富人的慷慨馈赠,而损害了低收入人群的利益。这种种行为,不仅让特朗普本人成为了笑柄,也损害了美国的国际形象。 Ben Meiselas: 我还注意到,国际社会对特朗普的态度也发生了转变。日本取消了原定的会晤,印度总理拒绝了访问邀请,甚至连俄罗斯的宣传机构都在嘲笑他。这些都表明,特朗普的政策和行为已经引起了国际社会的普遍不满。更令人担忧的是,在美国可能与伊朗开战的敏感时刻,特朗普却专注于打高尔夫和竖旗杆,国防部官员也在忙于砸西瓜,这种玩忽职守的态度实在令人担忧。我认为,特朗普政府的种种行为,不仅是对美国人民的不负责任,也是对国际社会的公然挑衅。

Surprise, surprise, Donald Trump has run back into his bunker this weekend at Bedminster, New Jersey, where he will be playing golf on the taxpayer's dime while the entire world is mocking him. The keyboard warrior Donald Trump on this Saturday, he's been posting away on social media, on Instagram,

pictures that make him look tough. Like he posted this photo of ice agents and border patrol agents and national guard who he has federalized all in their military uniforms. And it goes, we show up, we stand firm. We carry out the mission despite the noise.

and you go through this video, they're entering into the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet, where it says,

While Donald Trump says emails, sends emails like the following. Ben, our once great American cities like Los Angeles have been invaded and occupied by illegal aliens and criminals. So I came up with this idea after watching insurrectionist mobs

try and sabotage our deportation operations. And then you click the idea, and guess what it says? It says, click here for the idea. Then it says, you gotta donate money to Donald Trump. While Donald Trump is hiding in his bunker, little bunker boy today on Saturday, as I said, the world is mocking him. The Japanese have canceled a critical meeting with Donald Trump that was scheduled for July 1st.

because they don't want to be seen around him before the upper chamber and the Japanese legislature holds their election on July 20th. Also, you have people in the Trump regime Department of Defense who keep on changing the deal requests of Japan. They say, oh, we want you to spend 3% more, 3.5% more of defense spending. And Japan's like, just shut up. We don't even want to see what we don't even see or hear you. And you're embarrassing to us and you'll harm

the ability of the Liberal Democratic Party to keep the seats it's already expected to lose on July 20th. You had India Prime Minister Modi reject an invite to the White House this past week. And on the Russian state propaganda TV, you want to see what they're doing right now? Well, here they are basically saying they're mocking Donald Trump for leaving the G7 like a baby. And they're like...

it seems like he was like a like a drunk like a little sad pathetic little boy and this russian state tv propaganda this comes from putin let me show you the first clip of what's going on right now in russian tv you won't see this in the united states yeah fox and everyone they'll pretend oh america's strong projecting strength they are laughing at us throughout the world here play this clip right here now let's look at the body language

Trump left the G7 fleeing as if he'd been hit with a dusty sack. If I didn't know his personal history, that he hasn't drunk all his life, I'd have the full impression that he was drunk. He was in a groggy state. And want to know one of the other things that they're mocking us for in Russia and frankly, the entire world. And by the way, their right to

to do so. And it pains me to say this, that Donald Trump keeps talking about building gigantic flagpoles in front of the North and South lawn of the White House. And even this Russian propagandist is like the whole world thought that Donald Trump, he said, I have a major speech to give. I'm coming out to let you know how I think about these issues. And the Russian propagandist is like,

Everybody thought he was going to say, what are we going to be doing with Iran? Because he's been saying, I'm going to kill the Ayatollah. Everybody evacuate Tehran now. And then this guy goes, the Russian guy goes, and he goes out there and he starts talking about big polls and he's putting up a poll in the White House. You can't even believe this. Here's what the Russian propaganda TV is saying to mock the U.S. now. And by the way, they're not just doing this to Russia. This is going on throughout the world. Here, play this clip. CNN says Trump will make a serious speech.

Trump comes out and says, I have decided in the lawn of the White House, I am placing two flagpoles on the left and right. They are wonderful, beautiful flagpoles.

with a cable inside for raising the flag. I already explained this. He explained. I mean, he was really telling. It is a great honor for me to announce and always that's all that I will install two beautiful flagpoles on both sides of the White House on the north and south lawns. This is the only order of Trump that will be fulfilled. Yes. It's really like, now, wait, wait, is this serious? The people, everyone is waiting. So what...

You're probably referring to the fact that you're going to bomb Iran now. What flagpoles? But such astonished journalists ask him, Frederick, wait, what are you talking about now?

So naturally, Donald Trump is posting on Instagram while he's being a little bunker boy this weekend. More videos of the gigantic poll that he's putting in the White House, North and South lawns, turning it into just a completely and utter eyesore. Speaking of a complete and utter eyesore, what are they doing in the White House now while Trump's in Benminster, New Jersey, golfing?

destroying the Rose Garden. The Rose Garden is officially gone at the White House. It has been bulldozed over. Concrete has been placed on it. Look, starting a new business can be intimidating. I get it. Midas Touch Network was not built overnight.

And so all of the kind of beauty and joy that the Rose garden gave the American people that yes, Donald Trump has ripped that apart and he has put concrete over that. But surely the secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, surely Pete Hegseth is taking things very seriously right now, right? I mean, as America on the verge of going to war with Iran, Israel has attacked Iran. I'm saying that they have a nuclear weapons and that there's going to be, uh,

Potentially, you know, a nuclear bomb hitting the United States of America. That if the United States doesn't act within days, they said days ago that America is going to be obliterated by Iran. But Donald Trump says, I got to go golf.

I got to go build some poles. I got to spend taxpayer money getting rid of the rose garden, putting up poles. What else? Playing golf on the taxpayer dime. Here's what Pete Hegseth's doing, though. He's working hard preparing for war in the Middle East. He is smashing and posting about it. This is what he's posting about. Smashing watermelons. Here, play this clip. All right. One, two, three. Ah!

What else is Donald Trump doing today? Oh, they're posting about their disastrous budget bill. This bill will prevent the largest tax increase in American history. We're going to scare all of you. Okay, the people get that your disastrous budget bill is the biggest...

gift to billionaires and decamillionaires who are going to get trillions of dollars in tax cuts, literally stealing the money from low income and working class people. And all of the stuff you said, no tax on social security, that's not in a bill. And you want to talk about no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, the way the Senate bill currently looks. They have so many exceptions on no tax on tips and no tax on overtime as it to not make a difference.

dent on people's lives at all, who, by the way, will get screwed even worse by their health care being taken away. So now they're going to have to go out of pocket on that, which they're not going to be able to afford. Inability to afford homes, inflation increasing, Donald Trump's tariffs. And literally, if you look at the structure of this disastrous budget bill, if you are making under $50,000, you give away

$1,000 of your dollars to somebody making more than $4.2 million who gets a $426,000 check back to them by literally stealing it from low-income Americans. That's the structure of this thing. It's very easy. Ro Khanna, Democratic Congress member who represents Silicon Valley, the richest Americans live in Silicon Valley. Democratic Congress member Ro Khanna says, tax the rich more.

tax that we could start with fairly because they're not being taxed fairly, but tax the rich more. He goes, if I could say it in my district, why can't people say it in other districts as well? The American people get a look at the comments on this Instagram post that the Trump that Trump made. People are going every single person has stated that this will increase the deficit by trillions of dollars. You are doing Trump math. Stop pretending that you're doing this for the American people. We aren't stupid.

Huge tax increase for middle class and lower to feed the rich. Stop screwing over the working class. Don't sell 250 million acres of our public lands, please. And that's an important point. They're stealing 250 million acres of our public lands to turn it over for rich people so that the rich people can basically acquire.

acquire the lands for themselves of our public lands so that they could have their kind of vanity mansions out there. Oh, Donald Trump sent this email today. Trump might wear this on the 4th of July. Ooh, it's a Make America Great Again hat.

Oh, and this is an important message to all the Trump supporters that Donald Trump sent yesterday. Ben, I made a big decision at the White House just now. Big decision. In consultation with my trusted advisors, like my son Don Jr. and our great Vice President J.D. Vance, I made the call to open a few more highly selective spots for Trump Cabinet-level Advisory Council. And the first one is going to you,

I mean, the people who are getting this email think that they've become cabinet members by donating hundreds of their dollars, hundreds of dollars to Donald Trump. And why are they donating money to Donald Trump? What's he running for? They're giving him money so that they can get a fake cabinet position. Oh, and his son, Don Jr., is apparently working in the government now. I didn't know that Don Jr. was...

was actually an official American advisor while selling club memberships for something called the executive branch. Literally, they have a club, Don Jr., called the executive branch. Half a million dollars to enter Don Jr. and the crypto czar, David Sachs. Oh, so that's interesting. Is that an admission right there that...

that you actually are selling executive branch access. We knew what was going on the entire time here as well. Well, there you have it, folks. We'll keep you posted. This is what Donald Trump is doing from his bunker today. We'll keep you posted every step of the way. Hit subscribe. Let's get to five. Let's get to six million subscribers. We got to five.
