Chapter 2: How is Donald Trump handling the economy?
Yeah, zoom in on Donald Trump's notes right there as the market is crashing. Donald Trump was selling Teslas at the White House. But if you zoom in right there, he literally has the Tesla pricing for a full self-driving vehicle, the Model X, the CT.
Chapter 3: What are the criticisms against Trump's recent actions?
He's out there doing product placement for Tesla as people's pensions, retirements, 401ks are getting absolutely destroyed by Donald Trump's erratic decisions. tariff threats and tariff wars that he then pulls back and then threatens again and threatens annexation. Here's what Donald Trump was doing yesterday. He was sitting in a Tesla and he was just shocked at the way a car looked.
because he hasn't driven a car in a long time and he doesn't know how to drive. Here's what we posted on the Midas Touch social media accounts. Americans, we'd like to afford basic necessities, keep vital programs around, and not lose our retirement savings. Donald Trump, the best I can do is a car commercial for the richest man on earth. And we're supposed to feel bad for
Elon Musk, as he and Donald Trump are firing our veterans, attacking 9-11 first responders, sending groups of 19 to 25 year olds to get our private data, our medical records, our social security information, our tax records. We're supposed to feel bad for the guy who said he wants to inflict suffering on us while he enriches himself to the tune of billions of dollars.
So when Trump and Musk were outside of the White House, Trump was, I want you to watch this moment. I don't think you've seen this clip before. You may have, but so Trump is talking about Ukraine and he says, Marco Rubio, Steve Wyckoff, Michael Waltz, he's making names and he goes, they want to see two things happen. And then he like loses it. He like freezes. And then he goes, death.
They want death. Huh? And then he goes, I'm surprised that people who live in the country are people. What's he talking about here?
People have done a great job. Marco Rubio's been great. Steve Witkoff's been great. Michael Waltz. They're all, every one of them, They've really stepped up. They are into it. They want to see two things. By far, number one is death of people that aren't citizens of our country, but they're people just like you.
So then he talks about how he doesn't know how to drive and that he's never driven a vehicle in a long time.
So I just wanted to make a statement. I'm going to buy one. Now, here's the bad news. I'm not allowed to drive because I haven't driven a car in a long time and I love to drive cars, but I'm going to have it at the White House and I'm going to let my staff use it.

Chapter 4: What was Trump's reaction to questions about the economy?
All right, that's Mr. Alpha right there, right? He can't drive a car. You know who was able to drive a car? Former President Biden. Here, take a look at this clip when former President Biden was around. Play this clip. Sorry, I had to be slightly... I don't think it's that petty. I had to show you that clip. So then Donald Trump was asked, do you think that your tariff policies...
are causing economic harm and hurting people this week. Trump goes, nah, Biden's fault, Biden.
Mr. President, you mentioned the ups and downs in the stock market. You said it'll go up, it'll go down. But do you and your tariff policies right now bear any responsibility for the turmoil we're seeing this week?
Biden gave us a horrible economy. He gave us horrible inflation. And I think the market was going to go very, very bad. If anything, I have a lot of very smart people, friends of mine and great businessmen. They're now investing because of what I'm doing, because long term, what I'm doing is making our country strong again, financially strong, militarily strong.
And strong, if we want to get away, remember this, we have wars. When I left, we had no wars. We didn't have Ukraine and Russia. We didn't have October 7th. We didn't have that disaster that took place with the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Chapter 5: How does the media portray Trump's actions?
And you look at what's happened there. I just want to come with receipts when I do these videos. Because here's what Donald Trump previously promised during the campaign, where he said on day one, he was going to fix everything. Like a miracle, he would get everything done, even though with former President Biden, inflation was going down to 2%. Interest rates were coming down. GDP growth was up.
Unemployment was down to record levels. Job growth was at record levels. Infrastructure Act, Inflation Reduction Act, PACT Act, CHIPS Act. He was actually doing things. But Donald Trump said he was going to fix everything.
So when I win, I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one. We will end Kamala's war on American energy and we will drill, baby drill. We're going to drill.
I got to bring receipts like that. And then you contrast that to the kind of propaganda machine that's out there. And so as Trump is crashing our economy, as people crash, Most Americans living paycheck to paycheck don't know where that next paycheck is going to be.
As Trump and Musk are cruelly ripping apart the lives of veterans and people in the military and spouses of military people and military families, and they're gutting the Department of Education. The recent announcement was they're firing 50% of the people who work at the Department of Education. Right. What are they saying on Fox? They saying Trump is doing this for you.
He could be on a yacht with Melania. He could be on the Melania yacht.

Chapter 6: What are the fact-checks on Trump's past behavior?
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.
They're doing it for the good of the country. So let's give them a break here as they try to save the future.
All right, fact check. Donald Trump would not be on a yacht with Melania. I can tell you the yachts that Donald Trump was on. He was on yachts with little girls. Yeah, he was on yachts in the early 1990s when he would throw beauty pageants for girls, not women, girls.
And according to this article from The Guardian that was published many years ago, there would be old men old enough to be the girls' grandparents would grind on the little girls on the yachts. Right before Trump was on the yacht, right before Trump hosted the look of the year competition at his property with girls. Disgusting stuff. That's the yacht that Trump was on.
Caroline Leavitt, Donald Trump's propagandist press secretary, she was bragging that Donald Trump was, she's going, the economy may be bad, but Trump will be on a Tesla later today.
And I'll see you guys later. Perhaps you'll see the president in a Tesla later this afternoon. Have a good one.
Now, as Keith Edwards says, this one stings. According to one of the more recent MIRS polls, former Vice President Kamala Harris would trounce Donald Trump in Michigan if an election was held today. It's why it's important to get out information. It's why it's important to get out the truth. It's why it's important to defeat this propaganda machine, right?
I mean, just think about what went down yesterday, right? The MAGA Republicans passed their continuing resolution against that they say is going to fund the government, but it's really to defund the government. I think they're zeroing out like 22 programs. They're stealing money from Veterans Affairs, from schools, from law enforcement. They're like destroying all funds to go to Washington, D.C.
They're crippling D.C. They hate Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C., police and education getting totally taken away. They're stealing from children's health care to give tax cuts to the wealthiest like Elon Musk. They're harming working class families and then selling Teslas in front of the White House. There's such a cruelty component to it, such a cruelty component to it.
