Chapter 1: How did Trump's speech impact the stock market?
After vacationing in Mar-a-Lago this weekend once again, Donald Trump went back to Washington, D.C. and said, you know what, I'm going to just further tank the markets in the United States of America. The Dow was down 1.48 percent, the S&P 500 down 1.76 percent, Nasdaq down 2.64 percent, and it started crashing significantly when Donald Trump held a press conference talking about how
he was going to impose the tariffs on canada and mexico and other places he was a total mess during this press conference and let me just show you a clip right here watch what's happening at the the stock ticker as he's talking here play this clip the united states has been taken advantage of for 40 years
The United States has been a laughing stock for years and years. That's why this gentleman is built in Taiwan instead of building here. Would have been better if he built here if we had a president that knew what they were doing. And we had a lot of them very bad on trade.
For those listening on audio, it literally just started going down at a rapid pace. At one point, it was down close to 1,000 and ended up finishing really, really poorly. Here, Donald Trump talks about the tariffs on Canada. 25 percent, 25 percent on Mexico here. Play this clip.
But so we're going April 2nd. But very importantly, tomorrow, tariffs 25 percent on Canada and 25 percent on Mexico. And that'll start. So they're going to have to have a tariff. So what they have to do is build their car plants, frankly, and other things in the United States, in which case they have no tariffs.
That's not what they're going to do. These factories are going to shut down. It's going to be devastating for our economy here, although Donald Trump is making posts like this today to the great farmers of the United States. Get ready to start making a lot of agricultural product to be sold inside the U.S. Tariffs will go on external product on April 2nd. have fun.
I guess Donald Trump just thinks this is all one big game. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Federal Reserve is now projecting a GDP contraction of about negative 2.8% in the first quarter. It was expected to grow about two and a half, three percentage points, and now it's expected to contract. Many economists believe we are heading into a significant recession and perhaps something even worse right now.
All of this follows, by the way, we've covered it a lot on our channel, of course, this horrific meeting between Donald Trump J.D. Vance and President Zelensky, where Trump and J.D. Vance humiliated the United States in front of all the world media by wagging his finger at a war hero, President Zelensky, attacking Zelensky, just doing Putin talking points over and over again.
Dmitry Peskov, who's basically Vladimir Putin's Caroline Leavitt. Peskov is Putin's press secretary, says the United States foreign policy and Russia's policy are directly aligned right now, that the U.S. and Russia will vote together on everything. And the U.S. policy now matches Russia's policy. From that same press conference earlier today where Donald Trump was

Chapter 2: What are the economic warning signs under Trump?
And I just urge everybody to constantly be on guard anytime you hear these people speak, because I just feel it like I feel it in my bones when I hear a Lutnick speak.
Absolutely. And what do we say about Donald Trump? He's a WMD, a weapon of mass distraction. It might work early on. It might be cute for your most loyal of loyalists, Donald, right? Oh, what are we going to do? We're going to rename it Gulf of America. Look over here, everyone. We're going to take over Greenland. We're going to make Canada the 51st state. Everyone look over there.
Keep looking over there. Sooner or later, people are going to stop looking over there and start looking back at their 401ks and realize that they're also out of a job at the same time. The chickens are going to come home to roost sooner rather than later, and we are seeing that play out. We're seeing it right now.
such a great point jordy because people have been living in their rage algorithms instead of their actual real life right the manufactured rage and the propaganda was so powerful and you've talked about it jordy that to some extent
You feel bad for some of the people who have fallen prey to it because it's tens of billions of dollars or even trillions of dollars being used by corporate media and right wing media to infect their minds and get them pissed off about things that frankly really aren't impacting them directly. So what you kind of see and look, I think they'll be 20, 25% people who will be MAGA until the very end.
But for another group of people, it seems that the spell is like wearing off like a little bit. And when you see some of these town halls, when you see what's happening in Ruby red districts, like you don't get more Ruby red than Texas's third congressional district. I mean, Keith self like this, this guy, I think one by like plus 30, like this is a, a massive Republican district.
And I'll show you what went down when he held his town hall recently. Let's play this clip.
Yeah. This is very closely akin to what Bill Clinton did between 1993 and 1994. Bill Clinton wanted his fans to get $400,000. And in 1993, it took off.
And then there's another clip where they were yelling, do your job, do your job. Here, watch this.

Chapter 3: How did Trump and Vance's actions affect US-Ukraine relations?
We're taking preventative measures against your sons and your daughters having to go overseas and fight against Russia as they try to do what Hitler did back in the 30s and expand their territory. That is the whole reason for these alliances. That is the whole reason for these aides. And once again, like the good little Russian propagandists they are,
They try to take the concept, which is we are trying to prevent these wars. We are trying to prevent further aggression. We are trying to prevent Americans from having to go overseas and fight these battles. And they go, oh, so you want to go to war.
And then they try to pretend like they are somehow the peace candidates and the party of peace when actually President Biden was the one who actually kept us out of entering any new wars. President Biden was the one who actually removed us from the war in Afghanistan, even if it was a little sloppy.
He removed us from the war in Afghanistan, which no president has been able to do in decades and decades and decades. And so those are just like the facts. They could twist them all they want, but that is actually the reality of what is going on. And they just continue to twist reality.
And let's be clear, there's nothing that Zelensky could have done in that meeting that would have actually appeased Trump or Vance because they were full on Russian propaganda talking points from jump. You know, they wanted Zelensky to go in there and to use a Trump verbiage here, like beg like a dog. That's what they wanted him to do.
And even then, because we all know this, when you give the guy an inch, he takes your life. It still wouldn't have been good enough. But at least for them, they would have had documentation of it. So that would have helped flatter their egos a little bit more and a little bit better.
going back really quick because i just want to address these two clips that we played earlier the keith self clip from texas brothers please explain to me those talking points they play so well over over x for for keith they do so well over x why when he's talking to real people in real life they don't they don't they don't work as well that's so befuddling to me i just truly don't understand it
You understand it when you look at a guy like Swazi in New York talking to his people and just standing up for democracy, standing up for normalcy and how the people of New York's third actually love that and how they stand up and they say, yeah, that's our guy. You know why? Because he's not kissing the ring of some oligarch because he's actually standing up against that nonsense.
And we don't stand for that here.
