Chapter 1: What actions is Trump taking that could impact the United States?
So Donald Trump just initiated a trade war with China. He says he wants to occupy Gaza. Right now, all parcels inbound from China are not being allowed into the United States per the U.S. Postal Service. Donald Trump has offered buyouts to get rid of the entire CIA. He's gutted the entire FBI. counterterrorism division and continues to fire more FBI agents.
At the same time, his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, met with the leader of El Salvador, talking about shipping American citizens to prisons in El Salvador. And then you have Vladimir Putin just mocking the United States and also mocking Secretary of State Rubio's statements that he doesn't want to see the United States as one of the main powers.
Rubio says he sees this as a multipolar world where China, Russia, and US may play a role. If you add all of this together, the playbook seems fairly obvious about what would you do to try to destroy the United States of America. This is not something, whether you are a Republican or Democrat or independent from a red state, or a blue state, you should be horrified by this.
Donald Trump's government freeze of funds, although they claim that it's actually not frozen, it's affecting red states more than it's even affecting blue states, but it's affecting everybody in the country.
Donald Trump is destroying, if not has totally destroyed by now, USAID, which provided billions of dollars abroad as part of America's soft power leadership to help countries, to help others, and to thereby help America's national security. Donald Trump is next going to be gutting the Department of Labor.
So great work to the leader of the Teamster, Sean O'Brien, who took all of those photos with his thumbs up with Donald Trump and Mar-a-Lago and said, Trump's going to be good for labor. Donald Trump's about to destroy the entire Department of Labor.
Donald Trump also said today he's destroying or yesterday he said he's destroying the Department of Education and he wants Linda McMahon, who hasn't even been confirmed yet, her first act to be to totally gut and destroy the Department of Education. And again, red states depend far more than blue states on Department of Education funds. But this is the havoc that Donald Trump is causing.
Oh, and by the way, all of that is going on. Donald Trump has revoked the temporary protected status of of Americans who relied on it, like 600,000 Venezuelans. We know the Venezuelan community were big Trump supporters. And now Donald Trump cut a deal with Nicolas Maduro, the totalitarian dictator of Venezuela, who seized power despite losing the election. Sound familiar?
Where Trump's going to revoke the temporary protected status of Venezuelans, for example, in southern Florida. who supported Donald Trump, who are big Trump supporters. He's going to take him and either send him to concentration camps at Guantanamo Bay or send him back to Maduro. Maduro will probably kill them and torture them. The leopards are eating your faces.

Chapter 2: How is Trump's approach affecting foreign relations?
As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, writes, I'm sure Americans at home and abroad all feel safer tonight now that Donald Trump announced with Benjamin Netanyahu that the US is going to take over Gaza. level all the buildings and forcibly remove the population. You might want to cancel your vacation plans you may have had to Europe.
And by the way, let's not forget that there were two plane crashes last week. Donald Trump gutted basically the FAA leadership. He's gutted essentially all of the federal government.
Oh, and let's not forget as well that Elon Musk has put 19 and 20 year olds controlling our treasury department, seizing control over the payment transaction system with all of our private information from social security data to bank account information,
to medical information, in my opinion, and in the opinion of multiple class action lawsuits that have now been filed in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974. As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, writes, "...we were warmongers for wanting to help our ally, Ukraine, fend off Russian barbarian hordes seeking to murder and enslave them."
But Trump, their peacemaker, wants to occupy Gaza and take long-term ownership of it for the U.S.? Are you kidding me? Unfortunately not. Even Russian state media is mocking Donald Trump right now. Here's what they're posting. An American Gaza is still American first, America first, Israel second, Israel first, America second. A complete fantasy. Our enemies are mocking us.
Our allies are a combination of horrified and disgusted. But what was Donald Trump talking about? While Donald Trump removed the security details of his own former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, I hope you're listening, Marco Rubio, and his own former national security advisor, John Bolton, who have credible threats against their lives by Iran.
What Donald Trump was also fixated on today was if Iran were to try to assassinate him, Donald Trump says he left a note to obliterate them. Here, play this clip.
I'm happy to sign it if it's Iran and their proxies who threaten to retaliate against you and your team by killing you guys or taking out Soleimani.
Well, they haven't done that. And that would be a terrible thing for them to do. Not because of me. If they did that, they would be obliterated. That would be the end. I've left instructions. If they do it, they get obliterated. There won't be anything left. And they shouldn't be able to do it. And Biden should have said that, but he never did. I don't know why. Lack of intelligence, perhaps.
