Chapter 1: Why did Trump flee to Mar-a-Lago this time?
And he's off once again to Mar-a-Lago. Tough week for you, huh, Donald? You can't handle the heat, so you're vacationing again in Mar-a-Lago? You gonna play some golf, Donald? Let's talk about the five things that you did this week, huh? I'm gonna recap them right now. Number one, you tanked the stock market and the entire American economy.
Number two, you falsely claimed Honda was building a new plant in Indiana to try to cover up for the fact that you tanked the stock market and the entire American economy. Number three, you flip-flopped on tariffs. Again, both Canada and Mexico stood up to you, and you backed down, and now you have a new deadline for the tariffs, April 2nd, and you're super serious this time.
Number four, you suggested that the stranded astronauts could fall in love. Then you flew to Florida to go golf after you sent a message to Hamas saying, Shalom Hamas, and that all hell was going to break loose if they didn't release the hostages, which you threatened to do back on February 10th, and then which you threatened to do before that on January 7th. You're all bark, no bite, Donald.
And everybody knows how pathetic and weak you are and how in any given moment you're going to change your mind. Tariffs today, tariffs tomorrow. You panic and you fold like the coward that you are. Here's a very simple graph.
Donald, if you're playing along at home, you make stupid decisions, something really bad happens, you then convince your followers that the problem is now magically solved, then you reverse your decision, and then you rinse and then repeat. Donald, is that one not good for you? You want me to show you another graphic? Take a look at this one. Here you are saying, I'm adding tariffs.
Then your supporters go, this will create jobs. Then you say, I'm removing tariffs. And then your supporters go, art of the deal. Then you say, I'm adding tariffs. Then your supporters go, this will create jobs. Then you say, I'm removing tariffs. And then your supporters go, art of the deal. Like, here is your press secretary, your propagandist, Caroline Levitt says, remember everybody.
Donald Trump may be crashing the economy. He may be threatening these tariffs, imposing the tariffs, then withdrawing the tariffs when the economy is crashing. And in response to the Atlanta Federal Reserve now saying we're headed to negative 3% GDP growth in quarter one, when if Donald Trump literally did nothing, we would be at 3% to 4% actual growth in quarter one.
And she goes, that's all part of the deal. That's the art of the deal. Here's your propaganda saying that. Play this clip.
But you asked why President Trump wants to make a deal. I would remind you, he's the master of the art of the deal. He is America's dealmaker in chief.

Chapter 2: How did Trump's recent actions affect the economy?
now what makes rubbish garbage so great a few things first they have a new funny saying on the bags in every box so trash day is less painful and more enjoyable there's a reminder at the end of each roll so you know it's time to get more garbage bags before it's too late and my personal favorite they're compostable non-toxic and pfas free and they donate 10 of their bags to charity
Oh, and I almost forgot, the bags are strong, so they can handle whatever you throw in them. Now, Rubbish was founded with the goal of solving all of your garbage-related problems. They noticed that the big guys were just churning out boring, run-of-the-mill garbage bags, so they decided to make something better. Now, I love Rubbish.
The funny sayings on the bags are definitely great, but what sold it for me was the emphasis on the environment. You know, between my wife and our newborn, we're throwing out a lot of trash. So I feel much better about how I'm getting rid of my waste using rubbish.
So you can either pay $20 a month for a streaming service that you don't watch or pay way less than $20 a month for hilarious jokes on garbage bags. When you think about it like that, the choice is pretty easy. You deserve the best garbage bags money can buy, so Rubbish created them.

Yeah, I remember that. Here's what Donald Trump was posting yesterday morning. Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely pounding Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I'm strongly considering large-scale banking sanctions and tariffs on Russia until a ceasefire and final settlement agreement on peace is reached. Ooh, you put it in capital letters, Donald, to Russia and Ukraine.
Get to the table right now before it's too late. Thank you. As our editor in chief, Ron Filipkowski, explains, Ukraine is pounding Russia on the battlefield. Russia is pounding civilian targets in Ukraine and infrastructure indiscriminately. Trump has made it easier for Russia to do that because of the actions he has taken.
Trump promised to end the war in 24 hours, but all he does is these capital letter posts. One of the things that Donald Trump did do, though, like the coward that he is, is he shut off the United States giving intelligence to Ukraine about Russian attacks. This is causing Ukrainians to die as Russians. Russian drone swarms and missiles are more easily able to find their target.
By the way, Maxar Technologies, one of the people who were providing GPS to the Ukrainians, they admit that this is what Trump and Pete Hegseth, the former Fox host, demanded. Maxar's statement on media reports regarding access rights to Maxar imagery.
