This country has gotten bloated and fat and disgusting and incompetently run. Mirror, mirror on the wall. That was Donald Trump apparently talking about himself during his first cabinet meeting of his new term. Donald Trump was joined by his puppet master, Elon Musk, who led much of the meeting, which was completely bizarre, full of lies.
And at times, Donald Trump didn't even seem to acknowledge that he is actually the president. My name is Brett Mycelis with Midas Touch. I'm going to walk you through the lowlights and fact check it all. But first, remember to hit subscribe and help us get to 5 million subscribers. The meeting began with a prayer where they thanked God for President Trump. Just completely bizarre stuff.
Watch this.
Father, we thank you for this awesome privilege, Father, to be in your presence. God, thank you that you've allowed us to see this day. The Bible says that your mercies are new every morning. And Father God, we give you the glory and the honor. Thank you, God, for President Trump, Father, for appointing us. Father God, thank you for anointing us to do this job.
Trump then didn't even seem to know that he is president right now. And he said that while egg prices are a disaster and are really high now, they were low with him.
Eggs are a disaster. The secretary of agriculture is going to be showing you a chart that's actually mind boggling what's happened, how low they were with us and how high they are now. But I think we can do something about it, Madam Secretary, and I think you're going to do a fantastic job in that position.
Trump was then asked about consumer confidence, which is absolutely plummeting right now. People are very unhappy with the Trump economy and how he is handling it, or probably the lack of how he is handling it right now. Trump then argued that confidence was high after the election. I mean, when Biden was still president. Play the clip.
I've seen consumer confidence this week have a sharp drop from last month, the biggest dip in, I believe, three years. Why is that, your assessment, why is that the case, and is there anything you can do?
Well, I think that consumer confidence, if you look at confidence in the nation, it had the biggest increase in the history of the chart. It went up 42 points in a period of, like, days after the election, since the election. So since the election, the confidence in our nation... including right track, wrong track.
