Full Episode
Donald Trump just held a disastrous press conference in the Oval Office where he attacked members of the press for bringing up the fact that Qatar is giving Trump a $400 million private 747 jet. Also, Donald Trump announced his latest price controls that he wants to unilaterally impose via executive order instead of actually systemically addressing our broken healthcare system.
And of course, Donald Trump needed a new distraction after completely caving and capitulating to China and the negotiations that took place over this weekend, removing his tariffs on China from 145% to 30%.
and essentially getting nothing in return from China, just unleashing a trade war against the world that has shattered consumer confidence and has harmed businesses across this country, essentially all for nothing. Let me show you what went down. Donald Trump here talks about how the European Union is now his big target. They are in many ways, he says, nastier than China.
Let's play this clip right here. The European Union
is in many ways nastier than China, okay? And we've just started with them. Oh, they'll come down a lot. You watch. We have all the cards. They treated us very unfairly. They sell us 13 million cars. We sell them none. They sell us their agricultural products. We sell them virtually none.
They don't take our products. Next up, Donald Trump attacks members of the press and specifically an ABC reporter for bringing up anything having to do with Trump getting a $400 million 747 jet from Qatar. Let's play this clip.
As a businessman, some people may look at this and say, have you ever been given a gift worth millions of dollars and then not received anything?
It's not a gift to me. It's a gift to the Department of Defense. because you've been embarrassed enough, and so has your network. Your network is a disaster. ABC is a disaster. Here is the bill. Bobby, come on out here.
Donald Trump then claims that he does not intend to use the plane, but that he will just simply put it in his library, he says. He goes, it will go directly to the library. I never intend to actually use the jet that you're getting as a gift. I don't think I believe that. Let's play that clip right here.
