Chapter 1: What did Donald Trump discuss in his recent NBC interview?
It's another day of Donald Trump taking a vacation and golfing on the taxpayer dime. And while golfing, he called Kristen Welker of NBC to boast and brag how he couldn't care less if prices go up, specifically auto company prices going up for your cars and supplies as a result of his 25% tariffs. He says that he's told the automakers, congratulations,
This is great for everybody that prices are going to go up. Also, in the same demented interview with NBC, Donald Trump said, we will get Greenland. Yeah, 100% we're going to get it. And we are not ruling out military force against Greenland to take it. Now, this follows, of course, J.D. Vance going into Greenland. where no Greenlanders wanted him anywhere near their homes. So J.D.
Chapter 2: Why does Donald Trump believe the US should own Greenland?
Vance and Usha Vance had to stay at a military base because they weren't welcome. And then J.D. Vance said the following, I think Greenland understands that the United States should own it. The United States needs to own it. That's what he said there. Absolutely ridiculous and dangerous and despicable rhetoric.
By the way, one of the things we learned as well as Donald Trump was golfing for and speaking with Kristen Welker about how he likes to raise prices higher. We've learned once again that the Atlanta Federal Reserve believes there will be a 2.8% contraction, so negative 2.8% GDP in the first quarter. Also, inflation is spiking and going through the roof right now.
Chapter 3: What is the state of the US economy according to Ben Meiselas?
Prices are rising way faster than even expected under bad scenarios for Donald Trump. Core PCE just jumped 0.4% in February, hitting 2.8% year over year, the highest in over a year. And things are about to get way, way worse. And Donald Trump says in his own words, he wants to see prices go higher now.
Let's take the receipts when Donald Trump was campaigning and he said prices will go down immediately. That was his promise, right? Well, we've got the receipts. Let's show you play this clip.
Chapter 4: How do Donald Trump's promises compare to current economic conditions?
When I win, I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one. Starting the day. I take the oath of office. I will rapidly drive prices down and we will make America affordable again. Prices will come down. You just watch. They'll come down and they'll come down fast. We will rapidly defeat inflation. We're going to bring your prices down. Vote Trump and your incomes will soar.
Your net worth will skyrocket. Your energy costs and grocery prices will come tumbling down.
Chapter 5: What were Donald Trump's claims about Ukraine peace?
Well, Donald Trump also said on day one that there would be peace in Ukraine. He guaranteed that even before he took office, he had such a great relationship, he said, with Putin and Zelensky. This would be so easy to do. Remember when Trump said this while campaigning? Play this clip. You could end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Yes, I could.
How would you do that? I know Zelensky very well. between those two countries in 24 hours. It won't even take that long. I will get the war ended. I'll stop all of those lives from being wasted and lost. And there'll be no more bombing.
Well, now the only thing that Donald Trump wants to do is extract and steal the rare earth minerals from Zelensky and then let Putin take over the rest of Ukraine. That's what Donald Trump meant by a deal, by the way. Putin gets Ukraine. Trump gets the rare earth minerals.
Also, obviously, Trump and Putin discuss spheres of influence where Donald Trump wants to conquer Canada and Greenland and Panama and take all of these countries. Putin gets Europe and Ukraine and all of the countries Putin wants. And Xi Jinping gets Asia. That's clearly what, in my opinion, what Trump and Putin were talking about. Fortunately, Europe is resisting.
Chapter 6: How has Donald Trump reacted to criticism and satire?
Canada led the way and showed how you resist the weak, pathetic Trump regime. And we're seeing other countries stand up as well. And Greenland standing up as well to the pathetic, feeble, disgusting person that is Donald Trump. How feeble and weak and disgusting is he? Well, Donald Trump...
demanded that the White House Correspondents Association drop comedian Amber Ruffin from the 2025 White House Correspondents Dinner because Donald Trump is such a weak and pathetic and small, putrid, disgusting human being that he can't even handle a freaking joke. He wasn't going to attend anyway, but now even though he doesn't want to attend, he can't be in a room
or even near a room, or even in the same territory where there's going to be bad jokes about him. By the way, Donald, Where are those Epstein files, huh? Where are they? That was one of your promises on day one. Also, oh, is it because you and Epstein were close friends and you said he's a great guy who likes women on the younger side? Is it because that you and him partied together?
Is it because there are all of... Your name is all over depositions of Epstein and all over his flight log. I don't know. Maybe that's the reason. But, you know, I guess Donald Trump wants to show off that he and Lindsey Graham were golfing again and they awarded themselves trophies. Yay. So, Donald, while you golf,
Chapter 7: What are the implications of Trump's actions on social services?
gut the VA, while you gut Social Security and Medicaid, while you and Elon Musk and Doge engaged in the hostile takeover that cut essential services, tanked the United States economy, which was doing well before it was turned over to you, while you are Closing down Social Security Administration offices and engaged in just abject cruelty.
Y'all are awarding yourselves little trophies, little boy trophies. Doesn't that make you happy? I mean, what freaking losers? By the way, speaking of Elon Musk, Elon Musk made a post and then took it down right away. Here's what Musk posted yesterday. It is improper for lawmakers to target a single person or company snowflakes. That's what you're saying.
It is improper for lawmakers to target a single person or company. They can give it, but they can't. take it out. Literally, that's what you and the Trump regime are doing. You're going to people who you don't like because they stand for law and order and you're attacking them. Trump does all the executive orders. I'm going after this firm. I'm going after that law firm.
I'm going after this person. The whole thing is retribution, grievance, and being total losers. By the way, Protesters continue to rebel against Elon Musk's purge of U.S. government and they are swarming Tesla showrooms. Peaceful protests, of course, is what we are good with here. Make sure it is peaceful, folks. Make sure it is peaceful, folks. The Tesla takedown movement Saturday.
attempted to surround all 277 of the automaker showrooms and service centers in the U S in hopes of hitting Musk's bottom line. Like this one, a great day in Winchester or some other great ones across the country. Pasadena here in California. I mean, I'm going to name 277 locations, but lots of people out there peacefully protesting the, Elon Musk and Tesla.
Now, other headlines in the Trump regime, 2025, you've got measles outbreak, national cases near 500 as illness continues to spread in Texas and elsewhere. That's what you get when you put people like RFK Jr. in charge of health, anti-vaxxers in charge of health who don't take these things seriously. Big problem. By the way,
If you're driving around, have you saw some of these billboards that Canada is buying? Canada, the maple Midas in Canada are the best. Incredible. Showing the world how it's done. And they've bought billboards in the United States saying 10%. Tariffs are taxes on hardworking Americans. But Trump's interview with NBC, Kristen Welker, while he's golfing says, this is, he goes, I like higher prices.
Congratulations, America. I'm making your prices higher. By the way, Trump's auto tariffs are also on the supplies as well, not just the cars themselves, but all of the supply chain, which is going to be absolutely crippling to the automobile industry and those who are all part of that supply chain. Now, here's a fact that we talked about yesterday and MarketWatch led the way with this story.
Federal spending right now is surging. So despite all of the chaos caused by Trump, Musk, and Doge, federal spending is now on pace to come in 7.4% higher this year than last. You heard that right. 7.4% higher. The federal government has spent $1.893 trillion in 2025 as of March 26th compared to $1.763 trillion at the same date last year.
