What are the latest controversies surrounding Donald Trump?
Well, Donald Trump's having quite the morning. He woke up finding that at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, they're playing AI videos of Donald Trump kissing Elon Musk's feet. Very weird. Donald Trump then went on a posting tear to just post lots of things that have the number billions in front of him. So he goes, investments in the U.S.,
Under President Trump, $14.1 billion bid from Nippon Steel, $20 billion from Hussein Sajwani, $500 billion over four years from Apple, $500 billion over four years from Stargate, $600 billion from Saudi Arabia. I feel like it's...
dr evil one trillion dollar just putting up numbers while he's like crashing our economy taking away people's medicaid gutting our federal government uh taking uh america out of our alliances he's posting more about apple has just announced a record 500 billion dollar investment in the united states of america Look, Apple's an American company and invests billions of dollars all the time.
Yes, Donald, Apple is a big company. And isn't this one of the biggest tells when he starts going down this route that he knows that people are pissed about the way he's handling everything? I showed a poll earlier this morning where it's like close to 80 percent of Americans feel the economy is heading in the wrong direction. Donald Trump grifting, of course, selling bizarre pens. Get your pens.
He then keeps on posting that Elon is doing a great job, but I want to see him get more aggressive, Donald Trump says. And then it's email after email to his subscribers and to his people on his listserv saying, you want to come to Mar-a-Lago? I don't invite anybody to my luxurious home, but I'll invite you. Let me bring in Congress member Raja Krishnamoorthy.
Congress member, what the heck in the world is going on here? People are rising up, though. People are pissed, eh?
They are. You know, I think that you might have seen it, but as polls or poll numbers are dipping now, as people are paying attention to what's happening here, you know, some people talk about DEI. I also talk about it, you know, Doge, Elon and incompetence. And it is out of control, my friend. And we're seeing it kind of lay down. wreckage across the government landscape.
My constituents made almost 1,000 phone calls into our office the day that they learned that Elon Musk had access to private information on the Federal Payment Service. They don't want any part of that. And these are Republicans, Democrats, and independents who are calling in. They aren't just Democrats. They aren't just liberals. They are people across the political spectrum.
The more they learn, I think there is buyer's remorse taking hold as well.
