Full Episode
Donald Trump just wrapped up a disastrous press conference in the Oval Office as the markets are absolutely tanking and the aftermarkets are absolutely tanking as well. This as Donald Trump just announced on his social media platform another 100% tariffs on China escalating things there as Donald Trump has been Totally outplayed and outmaneuvered by Xi Jinping.
The Nasdaq dropped 3.5% today or about negative 820 points. If you take a look right here at just the way the market looked, all red, all bad. So what is Donald Trump doing during this disastrous press conference? Well, lying, of course, Donald Trump claims that we just cracked $18 trillion in commitments and investments.
Well, if we just cracked $18 trillion, then why is the market tanking on your imposition of another 100% tariffs on China? Here, let's play this clip.
So we have at this moment, I think we just cracked $18 trillion in commitments and investments in our country. As an example, the last administration was far less than $1 trillion for four years. We're at plus $18 trillion for eight months. There's never been anything like it in history in any country, anywhere in the world, so.
Next up, Donald Trump claims during this press conference where he has a pharmaceutical company there as well that pharmaceutical prices are now dropping 100%, 600%, 1000%. He's just making up numbers where drug prices can't drop that amount because then that would mean the pharmaceutical companies are paying us. In other words, more lies, play this clip.
And we actually did. And I was so proud of myself. We called the news conference. I announced it. It was one eighth of one percent, one eighth of one percent. Now, drug prices are going to be going down 100 percent, 400 percent, 600 percent, a thousand percent in some cases. But for one eighth of a cent, Bobby, think of that. I was so proud because for 28 years, nobody had done it.
And now it's I think back to that. I said I shouldn't have had that news conference, but it is true. I was the only one that did it, but it was not very much. And now we're going to get in some cases a thousand percent reduction. That's going to have a huge impact on everything from Social Security to Medicare to Medicaid, anything where they're buying drugs.
Any prescription drugs is going to have an incredible impact. It's going to lower itself greatly.
Donald Trump then says that he's focusing right now on laying off the Democratic agencies and the Democratic governmental employees, whatever that means. He goes, the agencies and people the Democrats like, that's who we're firing now during the government shutdown. Again, completely pathetic behavior and in normal times impeachable and or 25th Amendment time. Play this clip.
