so in this new Fox poll that was just released it has Donald Trump's approval rating among independents at only 26% 73% disapprove And I think independents and just any rationalminded person who takes a look at what Donald Trump's been saying will see that this man is incredibly dangerous incredibly reckless likely has major cognitive issues but I don't want that to let him off the hook for the accountability that needs to be brought to bear on him I mean you take a look at this Time magazine interview and I know people have talked about it in bits and pieces But this is one of the most deranged things I've ever read Period Full stop I want to share with you I've gone through the interview Uh there's only a written transcript of it There's no audio There's no video The good news for you is that you don't have to hear or listen to Donald Trump's voice on this video or actually look at him But I want to just go over with you what he said in this Time magazine interview in detail so you can see how unhinged it is And it's just lie after lie after lie So Trump has asked in this Time magazine interview "You said you would end the war in Ukraine on day one." to which Donald Trump responds to the Time magazine reporter Well I said that figuratively and I said that as an exaggeration because to make a point and you know it gets of course by the fake news then it's unintelligible Obviously people know that when I said that it was said in justest but it was also said that it will be ended So Donald Trump telling Time magazine "It was inest It was all a joke How dare you the fake news media actually report that I meant that there would be uh peace in Ukraine in 24 hours?" It was just I was just a joking I mean seriously that's what you're going with right there So then the Time magazine reporter uh goes on and asks "Are you committed to complying with all Supreme Court orders?" to which Donald Trump says "Yeah question When you and I spoke last April are you still committed to complying with all Supreme Court orders?" And Trump goes "Sure I believe in the court system." Okay The reporter says "The Supreme Court ruled 9 to0 that you have to bring back Kilmar Abbrego Garcia You haven't done so So aren't you disobeying the Supreme Court's orders which you said you were not going to do to which Donald Trump's response is well that's not what my people told me They didn't say it was They didn't say it was 9 to nothing They said something entirely different to which the reporter says "Well let me quote from the ruling The order properly requires the government to facilitate the return of Abrago Garcia and his release from custody in El Salvador." So are you facilitating his release trump's response I'll leave that to my lawyers I give them no instructions They feel that the order said something very much different from what you're saying but I leave that to my lawyers if they want And that would be the attorney general of the United States and the people that represent the country I don't make the decision I don't make the decision So you're not someone who represents the country You're not someone who is involved You were sitting there with B Kelly You're saying that your lawyers told you something different than when this Time magazine reporter literally just read the order to you donald Trump is then asked about the bond markets imploding And Donald Trump said "Were you worried that the bond markets have been imploding?" Trump goes "I wasn't worried." And then the reporter goes "Well what did your adviserss tell you though you were in the Oval Office with Scott Bessant and Howard Lutnik What did they tell you to convince you to lift the reciprocal tariffs and do a 90-day pause if you weren't worried about the bond market trump goes "They didn't tell me that I did that." Well then what made you make the decision it wasn't for that reason Question It wasn't because of the bond market answer No it wasn't for that reason I'm doing that until we come up with numbers that I want to come up with I've met with a lot of countries I've talked on the telephone I don't even want them to come in What kind of word salad is that you don't want the countries to come in You want to come up with other numbers than the numbers that you had just come out with on what you called Liberation Day Like we all realize what we're reading here is absolutely deranged stuff That's why I wanted to give it more attention than I think it's getting right now That we actually look at these words and see that they're deranged These are the rantings and ravings of a lunatic So then the Time magazine reporter says "Well are you going to call President Xi Jinping of China if he doesn't call you?" No Question You won't answer: Nope Has he called you yet yep When did he call you he's called Okay And I don't think that's a sign of weakness on his behalf Question But you would think it's a sign of weakness if you called him I I I don't I I I just just just just just look Question Well what did Xi Jinping say to you look if if people want to Well we all want to make deals but I am this giant store I'm a giant store It's a giant beautiful store and everybody wants to go shopping there And on behalf of the American people I own the store Okay i own it and I set the prices and I'll say if you want to shop here this is what you have to pay Okay this period question this period of uncertainty you think it's going to be over in 3 to four weeks Answer I don't think there's any uncertainty there The only thing they have an option They don't have to shop here They can go someplace else But there aren't too many places they can go You understand what I mean though for some reason the reporter goes "Sure." But your Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said that this situation with China is unsustainable Answer: Oh I agree You mean the way it is now question Yeah Or the way it was before I got here question The current moment The current moment Your Treasury Secretary Donald believes it's unsustainable Answer Well no They won't do any business here because at 145% it's going to be very rare that you see business Question Okay You said you had conversations with President Xi Jinping of China Your conversations with Xi Jinping have made you feel like we're moving towards a more productive answer Oh there's a number at which they feel comfortable Yeah but you can't let them make a trillion dollars from us You can't let them make $750 billion from us See that's really what's not sustainable When China makes a trillion dollars or a trillion one when we have almost two trillion worth of I call it loss Some people don't but a lot of it is loss I say when you have a trade deficit of $2 trillion I consider that a loss Pause He's making up a fake conversation with Xi Jinping here that never happened at all Xi Jinping through the China embassy said no conversations Stop misrepresenting what's happening There have been no communications about tariffs with the Trump regime at all and certainly not from the Xi Jinping level is what China has said over and over again But then Donald Trump also and you'll see what he says in a moment where he claims even though there's 193 countries that he's already completed deals with 200 countries Donald Trump says we'll get there in a moment So the question is so your trade advisor Peter Navaro says 90 deals in 90 days is possible So we're now 13 days that's when this interview was taken We're now 13 days into the point from when you lifted the reciprocal the discounted reciprocal tariffs Let's be clear they're not reciprocal They're a madeup formula There's zero deals so far Mr President Why is there no deal so far answer: No No there are many deals We've done deals Okay Question So when are these deals going to be announced answer You You have to understand I'm dealing with all the companies very friendly countries We're meeting with China We are doing fine with everybody but ultimately I've made all the deals Question But not one has been announced yet When are you going to announce them answer I've made 200 deals Question You've made 200 deals 100% Question I'm just curious Why don't you announce these deals that you say you've solidified answer I would say over the next 3 to four weeks And we're finished By the way you're finished We'll be finished Okay Then the next question is you know better than anyone that the president of the United States is the most powerful person in the world at the same times it seems like you're expanding the power of the presidency Why do you think you need more power this is a new line of questioning And Trump goes well I don't feel I'm expanding it I think I'm using it as it was meant to be used I feel that we've had a very successful presidency in 100 days We've had people writing this was the best first month and the best second month and really the best third month but that you won't know about it for a little while because it takes a little time in transition You know we're resetting a table We're losing two trillion a year on trade and you can't do that Okay According to the Fox poll your approval rating amongst independents is only 27% approval You have the worst approval of any presidency in modern times But you see why I call this a Ponzi scheme presidency and a rug pull because the only thing that Trump's good at in life is fraud right he's a felon He's a fraud He's a sexual abuser Bad person bad vile piece of trash And so what he does is just lies and lies and lies and lies And I think when you read the transcript like I'm doing now you can really see it even more clear Question Okay let's focus on what's happening right now Mr President Because answer We took in billions of dollars We had no inflation Now if you take a look the price of groceries are down The price of energy is down Question But Mr President inflation remains pretty much the same It's actually higher And the IMF is saying it's going up No Eric Eric's the reporter You can't say that That's what they think because so far what I thought is right What I say is right I've been right about it Okay But Donald 401ks are down The Atlanta Federal Reserve says our economy is contracting negative 2.2% 2% during quarter one Well they they may have said that but so far they've been I mean I've been right If you look at all of the years that I've been doing this I've been right on things You're going to you're going to have the wealthiest country we've ever had and you're going to have an explosion upward in the not tooistant future You know I've been here now for three months I inherited eggs I inherited groceries I inherited energy Um by that do you mean that we were energy independent that we had GDP growth that was expected to be three and a half 4% had you done nothing at all that we created 16.2 2 million jobs that there were 40,000 infrastructure projects that unemployment was at all-time lows that America was leading the world in GDP growth Is is that No I don't think that's what you meant You Donald Trump have been a failure and have caused inflation to go up when inflation was going down finally under former President Biden and Donald Trump And the question is okay could we let's talk about tariffs a little more You want companies to build and make goods here in America not in all cases There are some products I really don't want to make here Like what like like t-shirts mr Trump I I can't I can't give you a list because I actually have a list but if you want I could give it to you Well I mean the question is how can CEOs make long-term plans and investments if our tariff policy can change from day to day and still remain so uncertain how can they make answer how could they make long-term investments i'll turn it around How can they make long-term investments if our country is losing $2 trillion a year on trade question Have you asked Naive Boulli to return Abrao Garcia i haven't Uh he said he wouldn't Question But did you ask Bou Kelly but I haven't asked him positively but he said he wouldn't Question But if you haven't asked him then how are you facilitating the release which is the Supreme Court's order well because I haven't been asked to ask him by my attorneys Nobody asked me to ask him that question except for you Okay More throwing his attorneys under the bus right there I'll do a whole other vid video on Trump throwing his attorneys under the bus maybe But Mr President whatever whatever a Brabgo might have done whoever he may be affiliated with doesn't he just deserve his day in court nazi saboturs sabotars came into our shores at Montalk during World War II They had their day in court Al-Qaeda terrorists have their day in court This guy who was on a work permit who was checking in with ICE every year who has an American wife and three American kids who was here for 16 years old who your 2019 administration gave him a work permit with no criminal history Donald Donald I I really give that to my lawyers to determine That's why I have them That's not my determination It's something that frankly bringing him back and retrying him wouldn't bother me But I I leave that up to my lawyers You can bring him back and retry him that that that's up to my lawyers right there Okay Um uh then we'll go into more questions Did you personally approve the payments to Blly he goes "No I didn't." Um do you think peace is still possible if Putin is president donald Trump goes "I think peace is possible." You say "If Putin is still president." Yeah Putin is president of Russia Can there be peace of You see Donald Trump was nervous Wait a minute What are you saying are you Are you attacking Putin yeah If Putin is president can there be peace of Putin is president of Russia i think with me as president there's possible and very probable If somebody else is president no chance Okay But you think Putin can make peace Donald yeah I think Putin will I think Putin would rather do it a different way I think he'd rather go and take the whole thing And I think that because of me I believe I'm the only one that can get this thing negotiated And I think we're a long way We had very good talks and we're getting very close to a deal And I don't believe anybody else could have made that deal Folks I could keep on going but I think you get the point What you saw there is the anatomy of a Ponzi schemer The anatomy of a fraud in the future I'm doing it I'm doing it Me alone I can do it Everything he says is essentially a lie Is a fraud on the American people And going back to what I said at the outset if you are if you care about democracy if you care about facts unless you are magma mushbrain I don't know how you look at what I just read for you and go that's not some of the craziest things I've ever heard Ben Like that's some that's some real derange stuff Like not from even a political perspective Oh from a political perspective Oh my gosh But just from like a human being like the hell is that what the heck did I just read for you that that's the leader of the United States of America And of course all these other countries think it's incredibly weak and despicable I mean just think about it from Xi Jinping's perspective or others Trump is making up fake negotiations with the adversary in a negotiation and saying the other person said fake things That's the most bizarre strat It's not even a strat It's just weird Just straight up ridiculous Let me know what you think Hit subscribe Let's get to 5 million subscribers And thanks for watching The truth is more important than ever Check out our new truth over lies collection at store.midestouch.com All 100% USA union made
