Chapter 1: What is the significance of Donald Trump's recent posts?
What have I said about Donald Trump? WMD, weapon of mass distraction. Let me give you exhibit A. Just take a look at what he's posted over the past 48 hours. And just a reminder, I don't show Trump video or audio anymore on this channel, but I will tell you what he's doing and saying because corporate media wants to normalize his behavior. not here on the Midas Touch Network.
Chapter 2: Why is Trump reposting past events?
And I fact-checked this stuff as well. So I was looking at Donald Trump's posts, and here's one of the things that he posted. Trump rings opening bell at New York Stock Exchange. I saw that. I was puzzled. I was like, why is he posting this now? Did he go back to the Stock Exchange and I just missed it? No, he's randomly reposting now, January 9th and 10th,
posts about when he rang the bell on December 12th, 2024, basically 30 days ago or so. Why is he reposting this now? By the way, the stock market was down that day and the stock market's been pretty volatile. And if you want to take a look at the bond market right now, very volatile as well. But why does he keep on posting? This is what he posted as well.
He keeps on posting about this December 12th visit, by the way. Trump rings opening bell at New York Stock Exchange in front of Time Person of the Year cover. He's going to keep posting this just every day, just randomly post this. Oh, by the way, as you're scrolling through, His posts, his social media platform has ads like this. Get new permanent teeth in just 24 hours.
So anyway, I'll reserve what I'm about to say. Focus, Ben, focus. Okay. Then Donald Trump just posts this map. of Canada, U.S., Greenland. You see Mexico there as well. He wants you to know that the capital of the United States is Washington, D.C., and the capital of Greenland is Nuke, although he probably doesn't know that. So he's posting that map. Why? Oh, because he wants to conquer it.
Chapter 3: What does Trump's map of North America imply?
Total normal behavior to annex our allies in Canada, to annex Greenland, which he says he's not going to rule out using military force to take over Greenland and make it part of the United States, even though Denmark is a member of NATO and then NATO would have to declare what? Oh. War on the United States for trying to invade Greenland. This is what Donald Trump's posting.
Chapter 4: How is Trump's behavior perceived in relation to military threats?
I mean, by the way, could you imagine if President Biden made any posts like this? Here's what Donald Trump posts as well. He posts this chart from Mark Andreessen and it says, this is a really remarkable chart of tariffs. as a percentage of total federal revenue.
The Second Industrial Revolution, perhaps the most fertile era for technology development and deployment in US history, was 1870 to 1914. And you take a look at this, a lot of nations that use tariffs are developing nations, not developed wealthy nations that need to engage in trade with the world.
And so what this chart is purporting to suggest or say is somehow that tariffs as a percentage towards overall revenue is an indicator of what, economic prosperity? So you're saying that post-World War II America, where America became the wealthiest nation in the world,
was a worse economic time than what you say the best economic time was, was sometime around our Civil War, or if you even look earlier, the late 1700s. You want our economy to look like the American economy of the late 1700s? What in the world are we even talking about here? More posts of Donald Trump talking about conquering Canada,
Chapter 5: What are Trump's claims about peace negotiations?
And then this right wing propagandist, Paul Ingrassia, says Donald Trump's reemergence on the world stage brings statesmanlike order. Donald Trump showed the world that peace is achievable. Decline is not inevitable. And a continent embattled by so many maladies can be revived so long as it reclaim faith. Okay.
Are we observing the factual world or are you living in the kind of MAGA fan fiction right now? So do you want to say that peace is achievable? Let's address that first. Didn't Donald Trump say that within 24 hours of the election, he would bring peace into Ukraine? No. Well, that didn't happen. Well, what if I give him the benefit of the doubt? I shouldn't.
But let's just say I did for a sumar guendo for the sake of argument that I did that. So 24 hours after Trump's inauguration, he promised that there would be peace in Ukraine. What Donald Trump says is he would go to Putin and say, Putin, you got to you got to you got to do the peace. Hey, Ukraine, you got to do the peace. I'm going to negotiate this peace, peace. We go with peace, peace.
All right. I did it. I did it. Well, what we do know is that Donald Trump's envoy to Ukraine just canceled his meeting with Zelensky and Zelensky's foreign minister. Donald Trump said that there'll be some meeting to take place with Vladimir Putin. Putin said that he won't agree to any terms unless Donald Trump comes begging to Putin.
Chapter 6: How does Trump's rhetoric affect international relations?
and then Donald Trump somehow agrees that Putin and Russia should force a total capitulation on Ukraine, and Ukraine needs to basically become Russia. That's what Russia said their one term is, and that Trump needs to accept a new world order. So I'm just trying to get this straight, because there's no peace... Okay, what about Israel-Palestine?
Well, Donald Trump recently said that if the hostages are not released immediately before he takes office, he will unleash hell on Gaza. hasn't hell kind of already been unleashed on Gaza so far? And aren't you going to hand, didn't you say you would handle this right away? Now you're saying it needs to be done before you take office. Why?
Because you wouldn't know what you were doing there and you're going to unleash extra hell, extra hell apparently. Okay. Well, you know, you're not bringing peace there. So what are we doing? Oh,
You're threatening to invade Greenland and Panama and annex Canada, sending our young soldiers to fight our allies who fought beside us, whether it was Canada in World War II and, of course, before and after, whether it was Denmark who put their soldiers side by side, risking their lives with Americans after 9-11. That's who you want to invade? That's who you want to attack?
Chapter 7: What are the implications of Trump's territorial ambitions?
Are you going to attack Panama and bring China into this war? Because it seems all you're doing by talking about territorial expansion is now creating a more unstable world. Wouldn't that make sense? Isn't the logical thing by you threatening territorial expansion and annexing your neighbors? Wouldn't that seem to give credence to Vladimir Putin's desire to annex his neighbors?
That seems to be a logical way of thinking about things. Aren't you empowering President Xi Jinping of China to take over Taiwan? and justify its one China policy. If you want to conquer Greenland and Panama and Mexico and Canada, don't these other countries go, well, America's going to do that. So how are we going to be held accountable? I want you to think about that.
This is some magical statesmanship. All I saw Donald Trump was go to the Notre Dame Cathedral in France, do some weird handshake with Macron. And then I saw President Macron and the prime minister of Poland mocking Trump's handshake. And ever since then, all I see is all these world leaders from France and from Germany and
Chancellor of Germany, the Foreign Minister of France, now saying that they're prepared to invoke the military alliance from the European Union against the United States if you threaten their sovereignty.
