Chapter 1: Why is Donald Trump's leadership being criticized?
The world is recognizing how utterly weak and pathetic Donald Trump is. Donald Trump is caving with respect to the tariffs that he imposed on Mexico and Canada after he crashed the American economy and world economies. Donald Trump got a talking to by the big three auto manufacturers and Donald Trump said, can we do an auto manufacturing carve out Canada?
to which Prime Minister Trudeau was like, do whatever you want to do. We're going to keep retaliatory tariffs until you stop putting us in this yo-yo cycle of abuse and tariffing us every 30 days. Do what you want to do, Donald. We're going to keep the retaliation going. Also, you have French President Emmanuel Macron delivering a powerful address to the people of France where he said, look,
United States is basically done. We need to lead Europe along with the UK and others. We need to create new security alliances. And we have to realize that Donald Trump is pretty much with Putin at this point. And we've got to realign America becoming isolated and weaker than ever. But what's Donald Trump doing? Well, here's what he's spending the day doing. You want your free Trump?
2024 gold bar. Grab yours today. This is what's being posted with Donald Trump's name, image, and likeness on his social media platform. And by the way, Donald, it's also 2025. But to be clear, this is a free Trump gold bar as opposed to the Trump gold card where Russian oligarchs and Chinese oligarchs can buy citizenship into the United States for $5 million.
And if you just sold 10 million Trump gold cards and give citizenship to what, 10 million oligarchs, You can make trillions of dollars, quadrillions of dollars. By the way, take a look at how long it took these presidents to reach net negative approval ratings. Donald Trump's reached a net negative approval in 44 days, whereas it took former President Biden 224 days.
It took Clinton 132 days, Obama 520 days. Yes, Donald Trump's approval is plummeting, plummeting, plummeting like the American economy. We now see headlines like this. Beware a recession that could be triggered by a chain reaction of tariff risk. Wall Street executives say, you think Donald Trump crashing the economy and also crashing the lives of people who served our country so courageously.
It seems that Donald Trump is focusing his attacks on marginalized groups, on vagrants, veterans. I mean, just take a look at this. The Trump administration is firing, as you know, thousands of veterans, as well as the spouses of armed service members who work in the government.
And Donald Trump, we now learn, is planning on firing about 70,000 people who are part of the VA staff that serve veterans. And we previously reported that that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are basically gutting the entire Social Security Administration.
Remember yesterday I played you an audio where the wait time was like hours and hours and hours just to try to get a human being on the call and then to process a disability application. They were saying it would take close to 300 days for it to even first be processed to potentially even get a contact back.

Chapter 2: How are international leaders responding to Trump's policies?
Here, play this clip. But I don't want to contribute to that. What I want to say to every world leader who gets up in arms when all we're asking for is fairness and to have them stop killing our people is, please, listen to us. Canada could do a lot more. Canada has been taken over, Brett, by Mexican cartels. They bring up these pill presses.
and printers and the medicines that they fake, you can't tell the difference. Farmer companies can.
You need a spectographer to do it. So utterly stupid. Then Donald Trump makes this post yesterday. He goes, Shalom Hamas means hello and goodbye. It also means peace. You can choose, release all of the hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered or it's over for you, Hamas. Only sick and twisted people keep bodies and you are sick and twisted.
I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job. Not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don't do as I say. I have just met with your former hostages whose lives you have destroyed. This is your last warning, Hamas, for the leadership. Now is the time to leave Gaza while you still have a chance. Also, to the people of Gaza, A beautiful future awaits, but not if you hold hostages.
If you do, you are dead. So he's just threatening all the people who live in Gaza. Make a smart decision. Release the hostages now or there will be hell to pay later. Okay, this is different though than on what, February 10th, when you threatened to unleash hell by the following Saturday if all of the hostages weren't released and then you did nothing? Or how about you rewind before that?
How about on January 7th, 2025 from Mar-a-Lago while you were golfing? You took a little break and Donald Trump said, this is January 7th, 2025. He said, if all of the hostages aren't released by the time he gets into office, because remember by January 7th, that's before the inauguration, He goes, all hell will break loose. January 7th, 2025 play.
If those hostages aren't back, I don't want to hurt your negotiation. If they're not back by the time I get into office, all hell will break out in the Middle East. And it will not be good for Hamas. And it will not be good, frankly, for anyone. All hell will break out. I don't have to say anymore, but that's what it is.
Okay, now here's February 10th, 2025, where he says that the following Saturday, all hell would break loose and he would unleash hell. The following Saturday was February 15th. Here's what Trump said on February 10th. Play it.
As far as I'm concerned, if all of the hostages aren't returned by Saturday at 12 o'clock, I think it's an appropriate time. I would say cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out. I'd say they ought to be returned by 12 o'clock on Saturday. And if they're not returned, all of them, not in drips and drabs, not two and one and three and four and two.
