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.
