Trump Glitches Out in Public as His Life Falls Apart
And I think Trump deeply resonates with him. Trump said he's putting it all on the line. Trump said this is something that's really not good for him. President Trump chose to do something for our country. He could be on a yacht somewhere floating around with Melania. He put it all on the line. as a billionaire. Elon Musk put it all on the line. And it's not self-serving.

Trump Glitches Out in Public as His Life Falls Apart
President Trump inherited an economy and a government that is bankrupt, running $2 trillion deficits every single year. Unfortunately, he also inherited an appropriations process that has been busted. And the reality is that we just don't have and haven't had the time to bring us back to regular order to run a regular appropriations process.

Trump Gets Rude Awakening as Zelenskyy Strikes Back
The diplomatic one is one we think we hope to move pretty quickly on because this involves the treatment of our respective missions. The second one will be difficult, which is the question of Ukraine and the end of that conflict.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Gets Rude Awakening as Zelenskyy Strikes Back
But I think that's essential in order for the third piece to even be possible, which is our ability to work together on other geopolitical matters of common interest and, of course, some pretty unique, potentially historic economic partnerships as well. The key that unlocks the door for those opportunities, however, is the end to this conflict.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Gets Rude Awakening as Zelenskyy Strikes Back
Trump thinks that he wants peace, that Putin wants peace.

Trump Gets Rude Awakening as Zelenskyy Strikes Back
And I asked Wicker about the fact that the United States so far has begun those direct negotiations with Russia alone. He said, quote, I don't know what the scheme is, but he said that the Ukrainians ultimately need to be at the table. And he said, quote, European interests have to be considered and, quote, carefully weighed.

Fed Up World Leaders Smack Down Trump in Public
But it's destabilizing to suggest it when you've got, for example, King Abdullah, you've got the Egyptians, and you're threatening aid. Whether or not this is just open thought, let's have a wonderful thought about what might happen.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Voters FREAK OUT as he DESTROYS THEIR LIFE
More than betrayed, beyond betrayed. They used us. They actually, during the campaign, and I don't want to make this political, but during the campaign, the elected officials from the Republican Party, they actually told us that it was not going to touch the documented people.

French President Macron Destroys Trump and Pushes Him Aside
When we talk about security guarantees, everything we do is to protect peace. Europeans are not warlike powers. We want to protect peace. We want to protect peace on Ukrainian soil. We want to protect peace for us on our eastern flank. We want to protect peace in Europe and thus deter attacks against us.

French President Macron Destroys Trump and Pushes Him Aside
If we are credible in this approach, I think it is a strong incentive for President Putin, who is a man who thinks. I had the chance to see this through the discussions I had with him. He will see at that moment very clearly, he will adjust his position.

Trump Quickly Flees from DC to Run Away from Bad News
This is major news. I know everyone wants to talk about tariffs, bad, bad, bad. No, why don't people understand the president is a never-ending negotiator?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Quickly Flees from DC to Run Away from Bad News
He's a never ending negotiator. It's the art of the deal. But also the president has proven, as he did in his first terms, that tariffs can bring good paying jobs back here to the United States of America. They protect critical industries here at home. And President Trump is serious when he says he wants to make America the manufacturing superpower of the world.

Trump Quickly Flees from DC to Run Away from Bad News
Could we be seeing that... the this economy that we inherited starting to roll a bit sure and look there's going to be a natural adjustment as we move away from public spending to private spending the the market and the economy have just become hooked and we've become addicted to this government spending and there's going to be a detox period There's going to be a detox.

Trump GOES NUTS over Kamala as HE DESTROYS GOVT
I think that... You know, Howard, people ask me... Like, what do you think is going on and what is the tension here? What's at stake? And there are many things and I can be much more articulate than what I'm going to say. But ultimately, I do believe that this is an election that is about strength versus weakness.

and weakness as projected by someone who puts himself in front of the American people and does not have the strength to stand in defense of their needs, their dreams, their desires,

The work that must happen to make sure that we are a secure nation, that we are nurturing and protecting our alliances around the world, that we are supporting America's military, that we are fighting to bring the cost of living down for working families, that we are building businesses, building growth.

Trump Supporters have LIFE RUINED by HIM INSTANTLY
Rarely surprised by answers in my office, but I did ask you whether you subscribe to the views of Finance Minister Smotrich.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Supporters have LIFE RUINED by HIM INSTANTLY
Smotrich. This is the Israeli finance minister, Smotrich, and the former national security minister, Ben-Gavir, who believe that Israel has a biblical right to the entire West Bank. And in that conversation, you told me that, yes, you shared that view. Is that your view today?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Supporters have LIFE RUINED by HIM INSTANTLY
Okay. I think when it comes to this very difficult issue, if the president is going to succeed at bringing peace and stability to the Middle East, we're going to have to look at the UN Security Council resolutions, not just the ones on Lebanon, which we should enforce, but other UN Security Council resolutions.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Supporters have LIFE RUINED by HIM INSTANTLY
And it's going to be very difficult to achieve that if you continue to hold the view that you just expressed.

New German Chancellor Rips Trump in Acceptance Speech
When Trump is answering questions about the press conference, I think it is not a coincidence that many of the narratives that are being voiced largely materialized after their conversation. The phrases he is saying are so deep and so correct, they are in total alignment with the way we see things.

Zelensky should come to the table because this economic partnership is an important thing for the future of his country, and we hope that he will very soon.

New German Chancellor Rips Trump in Acceptance Speech
I don't know who Rosa is and what her hyperbole is all about. Ultimately, we want lawyers who give sound constitutional advice and don't exist to attempt to be roadblocks to anything that happens in their spots. What we know about these TJAGs, they're called TJAGs inside the military.

New German Chancellor Rips Trump in Acceptance Speech
Traditionally, they've been elected by each other or chosen by each other, which is exactly how it works often with the chairman as well. Small group of insulated officers who perpetuate the status quo. Well, guess what? Status quo hasn't worked very well at the Pentagon. It's time for fresh blood. So we're going to open.

Former Canada PM HITS Trump Where IT HURTS THE MOST
And so like this kind of threat that's coming at us at first, I think people thought it was sort of funny or interesting, or he's just trying to get our backs up, but we're taking it real seriously right now. We see this as an existential threat and let's be clear, it's not just a threat to our leadership, right?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Former Canada PM HITS Trump Where IT HURTS THE MOST
This is a threat to working people in our country who rely on trade, who rely on those relationships. And what I have to say to Donald Trump is, You're going to come after us. We're going to fight you like hell.

Former Canada PM HITS Trump Where IT HURTS THE MOST
Trump once again talked about the idea of now a merger between Canada and the United States. You would dismiss that as a joke. At what point do you say that that's no longer a laughing matter and something that should be taken with quite a bit of seriousness?

So this took place as well. One of the things that Vice President Kamala Harris, as the president of the Senate, is obligated to do under the Constitution is to swear in the senators for each term. So she was swearing in Nebraska's senior senator, Deb Fischer. for the 119th Congress.

We're ready to go.
