Chapter 1: What happened during Donald Trump's trip to the Middle East?
Donald Trump's disastrous trip to the Middle East is perhaps best summed up by this video of Donald Trump with the royal family and the United Arab Emirates. Let's just play this clip.
Jobs, because to me, the most important jobs, I want jobs. And we have... Costs are way down. Groceries are where they have a term grocery. It's an old term, but it means basically what you're buying food. It's pretty accurate term, but it's an old fashioned sound. But groceries are down. Costs are down. Eggs are down. They were first week they were hitting me with eggs were up. 200 percent.
And now they're down to a number that is amazing with down 97, 98 percent from where they were. And everybody, they said, you won't have eggs for Easter. Well, we had everybody had eggs for Easter at a very reasonable price at the White House. We had a little Easter egg roll and we had hundreds of thousands of eggs purchased. They said, you have to go out and buy plastic eggs.
That
begging for gifts from Middle East royal families, like a $400 million gold-plated jet from the Qataris. Donald Trump is talking to the various royal families in the different countries, like there in the United Arab Emirates, saying the word groceries is an old-fashioned sound, he says, and he said that
Nobody would make up numbers 200% and down 98% and that people don't really know the word groceries and that eggs were never this cheap. Just everything he's saying is a lie. But just what are we watching? How humiliating. I mean, you can go back to when he visited Qatar and he told this story about Pete Buttigieg riding bikes and that he doesn't like that Buttigieg rides bikes.
And then he starts talking about Sean Duffy climbing trees. And just watch. This is what he's talking about with the Qatari royal family before the United Arab Emirates royal family.
Here, play this clip. Tree comes down also, by the way.
It's so intense. I mean, you see these trees being knocked down like they're being sawed down by a top of the line timberman. Like, you know who? Sean Duffy. Do you know that Sean Duffy, the head of the Transportation Department, who's working right now on the airports and getting a system because Biden didn't do a thing for four years and Pete Buttigieg was the head And he goes bicycling to work.

Chapter 2: How is Trump’s narrative about the economy and jobs misleading?
What the hell is going on right now? Seriously. And just to show you how profoundly dangerous this is, yes, Pete Buttigieg responded to that saying, it's a perfect up north Michigan morning, good day for a bike ride, eh? Then Donald Trump starts saying that he's not a huge fan of stealth. that he doesn't like stealth all that much. He's not a fan of stealth.
And then he tries to talk about how he says that stealth is not effective technology because you can figure out the shapes easily. And he's saying this visiting the Middle East while he's begging for seconds or thirds of the jets from the Qataris and the royal family. I just want to contextualize what's taking place here playing this clip.
to do that and sometimes you know stealth they do stealth i'm not a huge believer in stealth because stealth is basically a lot of it's the designed into shape and you know i'm sure you maybe think but also if if that's the case they're going to figure it out pretty fast i think so you're going to design an ugly plane for stealth reasons and then six months later they're going to figure out this and then you're stuck with a plane now we're doing we're doing a super f-22
And we're going to be going with it pretty quickly.
He then goes on to say he wants to call it an F-55 and how he doesn't think it should have the same amount of engines that it does. And he likes more engines than less engines.
And then just play the B-roll of the spread of the motorcade in Qatar as, you know, in order to kind of suck up to the Trump regime in Qatar and these other countries, they were riding around in like red Elon Musk cyber trucks.
As the motorcade, as like Donald Trump pulled up to the various Middle East palaces, first the Saudi Arabian palace, and then the palace in Qatar, and then the palace in United Arab Emirates. And then we've learned that one of the reasons Donald Trump needs a gold-plated 747 jet is that he says that he feels humiliated around these royalties.
Many people are reporting right now that he feels actually humiliated being with the royal families and only having Air Force One in its current form and not gold-plated jets. So he wants to get these gifts from Qatar. Let me bring in Bretton Jordy. Obviously, guys, when Donald Trump is telling the United Arab Emirates royal family that prices are down and things are great,
I mean, it's obviously a complete lie, but I wanted to lead with that clip because I don't think you can just talk about what's happening in the Middle East as Donald Trump is a grifter. That's not enough.

Chapter 3: Why is Trump’s relationship with Middle East royal families controversial?
And they've got books to sell, Ben.
They've got books to sell. Honestly, shame on those people. Shame on you for focusing on this. Shame on you for trying to turn this into a story when we have serious issues in this country right now, when it is unclear if we are even going to have elections in the future and we are fighting every day for our democracy.
Shame, and you know exactly who I'm speaking about, Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson of Axe. All you people are a disgrace, honestly, to the entire journalism profession, to American citizens, to everybody who has fought and died to protect this country from fascism. Shame on you. You should be absolutely ashamed.
I mean, because, you know, you want to talk about what's right before us. How about Donald Trump in these rambling speeches? He just talks about, like, he just brings up random numbers every time. Like, and again, imagine if former President Biden did this.
I think Donald Trump's lying about the amount of districts that he won, and he just starts rambling and says that there's, like, is he talking about, of course, I'm always talking about it. Is he talking about congressional district? Because there's not thousands of congressional districts, okay? Is he talking about counties? Just watch what he's saying, though, and he'll go, there's 2,037, 535.
There's 7,032, 34, 7,13, 33, 4, 9, or 11. Here, play this clip.
We want everything. We want a thing called that people don't like districts. So in the country you have districts, thousands of districts. We got 2,750 districts versus 525 districts. Think of that. That's why when you look at a map, it's actually a very important stat. When you look at a map, the map shows it's practically all red, the Republican party.
Very importantly, we won counties throughout the United States, 2,660 to 451. That's why when you look at a map, they're all red. So the whole country is red. Red stands for Republican. We won 2,750 districts, we call them districts, out of a total, if you look at the numbers, 2,750 to 505. The whole map was red, red meaning Republican.
There were the counties throughout the United States, 2,660 to 451. That's why when you see the maps, they're all bright red, red meaning Republican. We won all seven swing states. We won the popular vote by a lot. We won the counties by 2,725 to 505. That's why the map is completely red. When you look at the map, it was an obliteration, this election.

Chapter 4: What does Trump's criticism of Pete Buttigieg and stealth technology reveal?
The dollars weakening the American brand has been destroyed, probably irreparably. right now. China left Donald Trump's, like no one other than our ridiculous corporate media here views what went down in China as a win for America. I mean, I saw a reporting today about how the European Union and Japan, they know that they can wait this out and try to strike – they know that Trump will cave.
It's just getting him to cave at the right price at this point because Trump always caves. What would they call it? TACO. What was the acronym? Yeah, Trump always caves. What's the – every time? I'm not sure. No, TACO. Trump always caves. I don't know. He always caves, taco something. They call him taco. But I'll go back and think about whatever that acronym is. I forget what the O is.
Trump always caves, always, I don't know. I don't know what the O is. anyway um so so so you you you have that going on um and again systemically the markets like our overall structural economy is not going well right now and uh nothing that donald trump's doing by pretending to scam his way out of it is actually helping i think it's deeply problematic
Just two other things I want to point out, because I think this isn't getting enough attention. If you just take a look at some of the actual deals Trump's made, I just want you to put yourself in the position again where we started. Imagine if Putin, the president, did this. Did a ceasefire deal with the Houthis and then called the Houthis... great, respectful, powerful, admirable people.
It's what Donald Trump called the Houthis. After they shot down eight predator drones, after we lost two F-18 Hornets in the Red Sea, the Trump regime's Department of Defense refuses to release casualty numbers or any data from the Red Sea about what's happening out there or why things are happening. Then we enter into a ceasefire with the Houthis, the United States.
Think about the win for the Houthis, you know, like Why would the United States even need to enter a ceasefire with the – like just think about the win for them. We got the United States to do a ceasefire deal with us? Like holy crap. So I'm not sure they use that language though. But that's the Houthis.
Donald Trump did a deal with El Chapo's family to bring in 17 family members of the Guzman family into the United States. They crossed the Tijuana-American border. Donald Trump didn't consult Mexico about it at all. Just people saw 17 family members of the Chapos come in. And I guess the DOJ is trying to cut some deal with Chapo's son, who's been indicted in the United States since 2023.
And so he's bringing the family in. So we just bring cartel families into the United States now while we send people with no criminal record to concentration camps in El Salvador. I mean, just think about it. You're a Trump supporter, right? Good luck.
But if you're a Cuban for Trump, a Venezuelan for Trump or whoever, like your families, like pregnant women, like women who are breastfeeding, they're getting sent back to the Maduro regime in Venezuela while Trump's like, Chapo's family.
