Chapter 1: What triggered Trump's meltdown towards Ukraine?
Donald Trump is having a meltdown this morning as Ukrainian President Zelensky is standing up to Donald Trump and not submitting. Donald Trump making this post on his social media platform, calling Zelensky, quote, a dictator who better move fast or he is not going to have a country left. Donald Trump threatening Zelensky and Ukraine, just outright overt threats on social media.
Let me read for you this entire post that Donald Trump made this morning. He goes, into spending $350 billion to go into war that couldn't be won, that never had to start, but a war that he, without the U.S. and, quote, Trump, will never be able to settle. Just pause right there. What a despicable, dastardly thing to say right there. As though Zelensky scammed the U.S.? No, Donald.
Russia unlawfully invaded Ukraine. Russia and Putin want to take over Europe, and they also want to crush the United States. I know you're Putin's puppet, but Putin and Russia want to destroy the United States of America and all of Europe, and we do not want to be part of Russia unlike you.
Trump goes on to say the United States has spent $200 billion more than Europe and Europe's money is guaranteed while the United States will get nothing back. Pause right there. We'll get nothing back. Do you understand the United States place in the world? Also, Donald Trump's numbers are never accurate. Pause right there.
There's a reason earlier today that Zelensky said that Donald Trump is literally living in Russian disinformation echo chambers. And by the way, I think Zelensky is being diplomatic there. Donald Trump is the Russian disinformation echo chamber as the main purveyor and spreader of these lies that are all lies. Zelensky never said that at all. But let me keep on reading.
It goes on to say he refuses to have elections, is very low in Ukrainian polls. And the only thing he was good at was playing Biden, quote, like a fiddle. Just pause right there. His polling number is lower than it was at the start of the war. Zelensky still polls above Zelensky. 50% to Donald Trump yesterday during a press conference while Trump was vacationing at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump said Zelensky's approval rating was 4%, which is entirely, entirely false. Also, the talking point that Ukraine needs to hold elections Before there is any negotiations or peace talks to happen, that is a Russia talking point as well. Donald Trump just taking the Russia talking point directly from Vladimir Putin.
He goes on top of this and then he says a dictator without elections, Zelensky better move fast or he's not going to have a country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the war with Russia, something all admit only, quote, Trump and the Trump administration can do.
And he randomly capitalizes Trump and puts it in quotes because he's a sick, disgusting, psychopathic, malignant narcissist who refers to himself like that. Biden never tried, which is false. Europe has failed to bring peace. And Zelensky probably wants to keep the, quote, gravy train going. I love Ukraine, but Zelensky has done a terrible job.

Chapter 2: How did Trump criticize Zelensky and Ukraine?
Here, play this clip. Lastly, we have another executive order that President Trump signed relating to independent agencies.
This executive order would establish important oversight functions in the Office of Management and Budget and its subsidiary office, OIRA, supervising independent agencies and many of their actions, and also reestablishes the longstanding norm that only the president or the attorney general can speak for the United States when stating an opinion as to what the law is.
Thank you very much, Will.
That was the primary purpose of this conference. Just so you can see this executive order for yourself, it's called Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies. And if you read it, it goes on to say that it says that in order to approve administration of the executive branch and to increase regulatory officials' accountability to the American people,
It shall be the policy of the executive branch to ensure presidential supervision and control of the entire executive branch. Moreover, all executive departments and agencies, including so-called independent agencies, shall submit for review all proposed and final significant regulatory actions.
to the Office of Information Regulatory Affairs within the executive office of the president before publication. The so-called, he calls them so-called independent agencies. Also, if you look at section seven, Trump's new executive order instructs federal employees to ignore the judiciary's interpretation of the law and follow his instead. Meanwhile, you have Doge.
It looks like they're changing the numbers where they're claiming fraud exists. So yesterday they claimed that they found $8 billion in fraud. But when you actually looked at this specific company's government contract, it didn't say $8 billion. It actually said $8 million. But Doge said that they saved $8 billion.
And then they changed the numbers, it looks like, in the computer system to have it re-reflective of 8 billion. I actually reached out to that company directly, and the company told me that it was 8 million, a ceiling of 8 million, not 8 billion, as Doge had said.
And then we're also learning that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem warned all of her employees that they would be getting polygraph tests to crack down on leaks
