A terrible Friday morning for Donald Trump. His approval rating on the economy is absolutely getting battered as Donald Trump is being blamed and rightfully so for the government shutdown and the surging inflation. The new CNBC survey shows that Donald Trump has a negative 13 net approval on the economy. He and the GOP are rightfully being blamed for the mess that they are

I mean, just take a look at the headlines anywhere in the country and you'll find something like this. Page one, Minnesota Star Tribune, insurance costs pummel seniors. And look, we're focused a lot right now on these Affordable Care Act premiums. that are surging. And it's not just that, it's all types of insurance. It's all types of utilities that are increasing right now.

55.333 - 77.42 Ben Meiselas

It's groceries are increasing. We all know that things are much more expensive under this disastrous Trump regime. Also, a shockwave is being sent through the regional bank community. Recent disclosures from lots of regional banks are showing some systemic issues there as well.

Disclosures coming as investors were already nervous about the implosion of auto lender tricolor holdings and the bankruptcy of auto parts supplier First Brands Group, coupled with Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase warning of cockroaches in credit. This sound familiar to you? We've been talking about this now for a very long time.

102.424 - 125.652 Ben Meiselas

And as I've been saying, systemically and structurally right now, this Trump regime is ripping apart the fabric of our economy. And I said, y'all remember how the Great Recession in 08 really started? 07, 08, 09, that period. Y'all remember what it was based on, right? It was based on, you know, all of these homes for the foreclosures and all of these homes.

125.632 - 151.798 Ben Meiselas

And there, that was just kind of one trap taking place. Now what we see happening is these traps in almost every aspect of our economy taking place. The subprime mortgages back then. Now we're seeing this all across. It's all one big Trump Ponzi scheme as he and his regime claim that they've brought in what Trump said yesterday, $20 trillion. Peter Navarro's now claiming it's $19 trillion.

152.158 - 168.612 Ben Meiselas

They are just making up numbers right now. Now, by the way, I mean, here's Peter Navarro this morning, just so you can see saying that Dave brought in $19 trillion in investment commitments. All lie, all one big Ponzi scheme. This is Navarro from this morning. Let's play it.

168.633 - 195.572 Peter Navarro

But let's think about this. You can't have the manufacturing jobs until what? Until the plants get built. We got $19 trillion. Let me say that one more time. $19 trillion of investment promised. to come into this country. Now, construction is gonna boom in the short run, but we're not gonna see the manufacturing jobs until that capacity gets built.

195.632 - 223.472 Peter Navarro

So it'll be six months, nine months, 12 months, 18 months. But what we're doing is setting the stage for the construction of a beautiful addition to our manufacturing base. And by the way, this is how smart not me, but we are as an administration, it's like when we're cutting these trade deals and Japan's offering to invest here in America, that money, you know how we're gonna use that money?
