Chapter 1: How is Donald Trump showing cognitive decline on live TV?
A very lethargic-looking, low-energy, cognitively addled Donald Trump just gave a press conference in Florida. He forgot the name of his Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem. He then went on to accidentally throw Elon Musk under the bus. You can see that he was struggling up there. Total disaster. Let me show you first. Again, you'll see how kind of slow he's going right here.
And he just calls Kristi Noem, Kristi, here, play this clip.
Came from all over and they were allowed to come into our country and we're getting them out in record levels, just like they came in in record levels. I want to thank Tom Holman and Christy, who is just doing, she's doing a fantastic job, governor of South Dakota, and Tom Holman, you know.
Chapter 2: What did Trump say about Elon Musk and Doge?
Okay, and then Donald Trump says that he put Elon Musk in charge of Doge, which directly contradicts an affidavit submitted under oath by the Trump administration to say that Elon Musk is not in charge of Doge and that Elon Musk was actually just a special advisor to Donald Trump but was not controlling Doge. Donald Trump just threw Elon Musk under the bus.
I wonder if the lawyers in that case are going to try to now call Elon Musk in to testify in court. Play this clip.
And I signed an order creating the Department of Government Efficiency and put a man named Elon Musk in charge. Thank you, Elon, for doing it. And he's doing a great job.
Chapter 3: How is Trump portraying himself as a king?
Now, never normalize this. This is what Donald Trump is doing this afternoon. He made posts like this. Congestion pricing is dead. Manhattan and all of New York is saved. Long live the king. And then the White House official account reposted that with a fake Time magazine cover that says Trump and has a crown on his head. And it says Long Live the King.
And this refers to the Trump administration trying to stop a New York and New York City programming to stop. to help with the flow of traffic into the city and to raise funds that the city of New York and the state of New York said was going successful. There was a deal made with the federal government under the Biden administration and Donald Trump ordered it unilaterally
cancel, that the deal should be broken. And New York is not following those orders right now. But Donald Trump is saying that he's now saved New York for doing that. And he's posting photographs of himself as a king with a crown on his head. Yes, folks, it is utterly deranged.
Chapter 4: What are Trump's controversial claims about Ukraine?
And this follows Donald Trump posting this morning multiple posts and statements referring to President Zelensky of Ukraine as a dictator and threatening Zelensky that he, quote, better move fast or he is not going to have peace. a country left. Donald Trump then spread other Russia propaganda as well about Ukraine stealing all of this money from the United States.
I'm reminded of this quote, though, from Game of Thrones, quote, "'Any man who must say, I am the king,' is no true king. Donald Trump's posts both about Ukraine and saying that he's a king, to me, it comes from a place of total and utter weakness. You can see the weakness and desperation in the posts. He thought that President Zelensky of Ukraine was going to be bullied.
Trump thought that Europe was going to be bullied and that they were just going to back down. And they're not. Europe is standing up. Zelensky is standing up. So now Donald Trump is trying to further bully Zelensky and to pursue other talking points and strategies fed to Donald Trump by Vladimir Putin, which is to say that Zelensky needs to hold an election immediately and
that he's not a legitimate leader of Ukraine. Now, let me just show you this video that Vladimir Putin released moments ago, where he's basically speaking to Donald Trump in this video, saying that Trump needs to go harder on Europe right now and apply more pressure to attack Europe and to attack Ukraine. You can see how easily Putin is playing Donald Trump here. Here, play this clip.
This was done. But honestly, I am surprised by the restraint of the newly elected President of the United States, Trump, regarding his allies, who behaved in such, let's say, a rude manner. He still behaves quite politely towards them, but they do not hold back. After all, if we talk about the Ukrainian settlement, The United States is working with its with European allies.

Chapter 5: How is Trump interacting with Saudi Arabia?
Mr. Kellogg, as far as I know, is currently in Cairo. Right. Before this, he met with Europeans. Now the president of France is going to Washington.
I mean, is it? So completely obvious what's going on there. Meanwhile, Donald Trump announced that he will be speaking at an investment conference in Miami sponsored by the Saudi government entities, an address that comes as the Trump organization seeks to expand its real estate empire in Saudi Arabia. And Trump looks to strengthen his ties with the Middle East partner. Remember, Saudi Arabia,
I guess, purported to host that mediation. I say purported because what the hell was that if you cut Ukraine and Europe out? In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia yesterday, where the United States and Russia negotiated directly with each other, and it seemed that they were trying to ally with each other against Europe. and Ukraine.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of recent plane crashes under Trump's administration?
But Donald Trump is, I guess, Saudi first right now, and he's trying to bolster his own business. Donald Trump has also spent the entire day today golfing over and over again and making people clap for him at his golf course while he tees off. And while all of this is happening, it should be noted that there was yet another plane crash.
This one at a regional airport in Arizona as Donald Trump was golfing. Two planes crashed into each other. Two people were killed in the plane crash. And so to be clear, I think we're talking about the ninth crash now. since the Trump administration took over.
And as I said, one of the things they're trying to do in the Trump administration, the same way they've normalized school shootings, they want to normalize air crashes and plane crashes as well and say that planes crash, planes crash all the time. which is not true. And then they lie and say planes crashed more under Biden than Trump, which again is totally false.
But here's Trump's transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, who got famous on the real world road rules challenge. Here he says planes crash. It's just what happens here. Play this clip.
But again, air crashes happen, but they were more under Biden than Donald Trump. But the point here is, We want to get to a place where we have zero crashes. We don't want people to die in aircraft, which is why what I've done is focus on how do you upgrade the system? But, Will, you look at what's happened. The airspace around DCA, that was allowed to stay open under the last administration.
The inspections that were done of the aircraft that have crashed, that was done under the last administration. So it is rich. that they would come at this administration for the mistakes that they've made and blame us for the crashes. We're going to fix what they refused to fix over the course of their four years. And that's the mission of this department.
As I'm sure you've been seeing lately, the Midas Touch Network has been growing a lot. And as we grow, I don't want to be in expense chaos as we have to handle invoices from reporters and freelancers. And so how do I keep track of all of our receipts and all of those things? I use RAMP. Ramp is a free corporate card that automates your entire expense process.
So the moment your team makes a purchase, Ramp handles everything, receipt matching, categorization, approvals, the works. For most companies, finance teams spend about 80% of their time doing tactical busy work like chasing down expenses and reconciling statements, and only 20% on the high value strategic thinking.

It's a free corporate card that handles all the tedious financial operations automatically.
