Chapter 1: Why is Trump's approval rating declining rapidly?
Americans are rising up against Donald Trump. Trump's approval is tanking fast. Donald Trump, I think, realizing that he is a cornered rat. Let's talk about what happened over the weekend. Russian state regime media continued to talk about how Donald Trump and Putin are now fully aligned on their attacks of NATO, Ukraine, and Europe. Take a look at what happened on Russian state regime media.
Let's play the clip.
Chapter 2: How is Russian media portraying Trump and Putin's relationship?
When Trump is answering questions about the press conference, I think it is not a coincidence that many of the narratives that are being voiced largely materialized after their conversation. The phrases he is saying are so deep and so correct, they are in total alignment with the way we see things.
Then the United States Secretary of Defense, who has no experience to hold that position, former Fox host Pete Hegseth, who never commanded any military before holding this position, Pete Hegseth said that he refused to say whether Russia was the aggressor or not in Russia's unlawful invasion of Ukraine, quite literally spewing Russian propaganda. Let's play it.
Chapter 3: What controversial statements were made by US officials?
Blinsky should come to the table because this economic partnership is an important thing for the future of his country. And we hope that he will very soon.
But fair to say Russia attacked unprovoked into Ukraine three years ago tomorrow.
Fair to say it's a very complicated situation.
Over the weekend, folks, there were elections that were held in Germany. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, and the MAGAs supported Germany's neo-Nazi AFD party. The AFD party came in second. They did not win. the CSU-CDU party led by Frederick Mayers, who will become the next chancellor. They prevailed in the election. Mayers will become the next chancellor.
Chapter 4: Did Trump support a neo-Nazi party in Germany?
In his acceptance speech after becoming the next chancellor, the presumptive chancellor, Frederick Mayers said that Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Washington were now, quote, no less radical and outrageous than that of Moscow. Germany now views America basically no different than they view Putin. That's what Donald Trump has done to the United States and how Donald Trump has turned Europe and NATO
and Canada and all of our traditional allies against the United States. Furthermore, over the weekend, Donald Trump appointed the podcast host and conspiracy theorist who never worked a day in the FBI as the deputy director of the FBI. I'm talking about Dan Bongino. FBI agents are absolutely furious at this appointment.
Chapter 5: Who is Dan Bongino and why is his FBI appointment controversial?
Donald Trump posted the following, great news for law enforcement and American justice. Dan Bongino, a man of incredible love and passion for our country, has been named the next deputy director of the FBI by the man who will be the best ever director, Kash Patel. As Ken Delanian of NBC writes, traditionally, the deputy FBI director has been a career FBI agent.
That is particularly important when the director has no experience at the FBI. Donald Trump tonight announced he is appointing as deputy director Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and prolific conspiracy theorist. He has never spent a day working at the FBI, but he has spent many hours spouting baseless falsehoods about the bureau.
such as that the FBI lied when they said they don't have a suspect in the pipe bombs as outside the RNC and DNC on January 15, 2021. Current and former FBI officials are appalled and extremely concerned for the national security of the country. And I would say the biggest reason, though, that Americans are pissed, even though those ones are young,
Hugely, hugely a reason why as well is that Donald Trump has gutted the federal government, attacked people's Medicaid, tried to remove people's healthcare, and is doing everything he can to try to destroy our economy. We saw the markets crash at the end of last week.
Chapter 6: What are the public's opinions on Trump's policies according to polls?
When you take a look at Trump's approvals from the latest Ipsos poll and the approvals of MAGA's, it is so underwater on just about every issue. Let's go through it. Here was a question in the latest Ipsos poll from February 18th. I imagine the next Ipsos poll is going to be even worse. Would you rather see the next Congress controlled by Democrats or Republicans?
Voters by a 54% to 41% margin say Democrats. Next, voters were asked, Americans were asked about various policies that Donald Trump is pursuing like ending DEI or banning trans people from the military or making it easier for Trump to fire longtime federal workers. on basically every single issue Americans are against and strongly against.
Chapter 7: How does the current US economy compare to Biden's presidency?
Everything that Trump and his authoritarian regime are doing and people are livid and pissed, especially at Elon Musk. Net support for ending DEI in government, negative 3%, meaning people don't like Trump's DEI policies. whatever that even means other than it's clearly racist pretext. Banning trans people from the military, negative 11%.
Making it easier for presidents to fire longtime federal workers, negative 21%. Shutting down USAID, negative 21%. Blocking health agencies from communicating without approval from Trump appointee, Negative 43%. Describe the nation's economy these days. 52% of Americans say not so good. 21% of Americans say poor. Almost 80% of Americans believe we have a bad economy.
Contrast that to the conclusion of former President Biden where consumer, rise Biden's term, where consumer confidence was growing, where inflation was supposed to shrink to about 2%. Former President Biden created about 16.4 million new jobs. There was never a month where jobs were lost. Unemployment was at record lows. Employment was at all-time highs. Wages were rising.
Chapter 8: What are the American public's views on January 6th and Elon Musk's actions?
Interest rates were being cut. The stock market was up 55%, 60%. Your 401k was doing great under former President Biden. And I'm sure if you even had the courage to look at it recently, It is in the tank once again, thanks to Trump, the same way it was in the tank in the first Trump administration. But it's getting even worse right now. Other polling questions from this Ipsos poll.
Support for pardoning those convicted of violent crimes related to January 6th as Trump did. 83% of Americans oppose. Approval of Elon Musk shutting down federal programs, he decides are unnecessary. Only 26% of Americans approve. It has a net negative 26% rating. 76% of Americans say gas prices are too high and not good. The income of average Americans, 72% of Americans say not good or poor.
92% of Americans say food prices are too high and not good. Only 35% of Americans say that Donald Trump can be trusted at all. While all of this is going on, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are making posts like this. Trigger warning, Elon Musk frequently uses the R word over and over again. He posts memes like this. They always say, okay, retard. They never say, are you okay, retard?
This is the type of person who is somehow controlling our government, who's gained access to your medical records, your social security information, your tax records, him and a bunch of 19 to 24 year olds who refer to themselves as Mr. Big Balls. They're getting your records, others from these 19 to 24 year old cohorts. saying all this like racist and horrific stuff.
Why do they have access to your stuff? Why are they firing all of these hardworking government officials, dehumanizing them, lying and saying they're firing them for cause to prevent them from even getting unemployment and some of the most despicable stuff imaginable taking place right now.
One thing to mention, too, is that Donald Trump's dangerousness is also matched by his incompetence and idiocracy. Donald Trump celebrated the fact that the conservative party, the CSU-CDU, won in Germany, even though Friedrich Merz, the new chancellor,
hates Donald Trump and gave his acceptance speech saying that Europe is going to break away from Trump, that Trump can't be trusted, that Trump to him is no different than Putin because Trump's an idiot and he's like, oh, the conservative party. Donald Trump's preferred party was the AFD, which is the neo-Nazi party, and they were the ones that lost the election. But Donald Trump pretended that
that he was the big victor in this, that Donald Trump got the conservative party that literally ran against him to win. This is how stupid it is also. You also had Donald Trump's special envoy showing up on CNN and other networks, again, spouting pro-Russian propaganda.
Here's Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, who for some reason now has become the special envoy to Ukraine, apparently, because Donald Trump doesn't like Keith Kellogg, the original special envoy. Here, play this clip.
