Trump press conference goes HORRIBLY WRONG

[0:00] Donald Trump was so threatened by rumors spreading online that he was dead and his [0:05] White House was covering it, false rumors of course, that he is doubling down on his [0:09] public appearances and spending as much time as possible in front of the cameras [0:13] and in front of a microphone. And even though that extended period of time means that we get [0:19] a closer glimpse of how unwell this man is, it's important to witness just how unwell he is and [0:27] just how complicit every single person in his administration is in propping this fascist up [0:33] with every word of praise, every pledge of fealty. Let's start with his press conference about his [0:39] war in Iran. And let's start with how Trump casually floats taking out Iran in one night. [0:46] The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night. [0:53] I mean, truly, a villain. Does he think that he sounds tough? [0:57] Does he think- [0:58] Does he think that he sounds like a strategic player, that he sounds like he has the upper hand [1:03] simply because he threatens to eliminate a country in a single night? The same country [1:08] he keeps claiming, by the way, is filled with Iranians that he wants to protect. [1:13] In one breath, he says, this is about protecting Iranians. [1:17] And then the next, he says he is taking out the country probably tomorrow night, [1:21] speaking so flippantly that he could be talking about making a dinner reservation. [1:26] This man is unwell. [1:27] He later even said during this press conference that Iranians who live where bombs are being dropped [1:35] are saying, please keep the bombs coming. [1:38] Yes, please. [1:39] Thank you, Mr. President. You've said Iranians would be mad if you stopped these attacks. But [1:44] why would they want you to blow up their infrastructure to cut off their power? [1:48] Wouldn't that be punishing Iranians for the actions of the regime? [1:51] They would be willing just, and it's suffering. They would be willing to suffer that in order to, [1:57] for the sake of their freedom. The Iranians have, and we've had, numerous intercepts. [2:03] Please keep bombing. Bombs that are dropping near their homes. Please keep bombing. Do it. [2:10] And these are people that are living where the bombs are exploding. And when we leave, [2:14] and we're not hitting those areas, they're saying, please come back, come back, come back. [2:19] These are the people. I mean, this is truly sick stuff. [2:23] Next he's gonna be telling us that Iranians are begging him to take the oil and keep the oil, [2:28] They really want him to be successful in life. [2:31] I mean, what are we doing here? [2:33] Oftentimes, when I watch these press conferences these days, [2:36] I can't help but notice how many Trump supporters [2:40] from right-wing media outlets that they put in that room, [2:43] the number of softballs that get put up for Caroline Leavitt. [2:47] But occasionally we get the people [2:49] who still know they have a job to do and do it well. [2:52] And in this room, Trump was pressed again [2:55] on his vacillating between how the war is ending soon [2:59] to we're bombing them and ending their country. [3:02] Your messaging on the war has moved from [3:04] the war is coming to an end [3:06] to we're going to be bombing Iran to the Stone Ages. [3:09] And we've heard a range of those kind of messages. [3:12] So which is it? [3:13] Are you winding this down? [3:15] Are you escalating it? [3:16] I can't tell you, I don't know. [3:17] I can't tell you. [3:18] It depends what they do. [3:19] This is a critical period. [3:21] They have a period of, well, till tomorrow at eight o'clock. [3:26] So he, [3:26] he doesn't know. [3:27] It depends on what they do [3:29] because we don't need the straight open, [3:31] but also he needs it open immediately. [3:34] And they're tough negotiators, but also they're weak. [3:37] And he's winding down the war, but we're also escalating it. [3:41] And he's doing this to protect the Iranian people, [3:43] but also he wants the oil and wants to eliminate the country. [3:49] This is the master dealmaker in action, you guys. [3:53] Now, of course, press conferences about the war in Iran [3:56] would not be complete without Pete Hegseth offering lengthy praise for Donald Trump. [4:01] Because after everything you've just seen, naturally, it's what he deserves, right? [4:07] But make no mistake about it. [4:10] None of this would have been possible without the courageous leadership and [4:14] ironclad determination of President Donald J. Trump. [4:19] From the moment our airmen went down, President Trump made it clear we will leave no one behind. [4:26] The first mission, the first of two, [4:28] was an audacious daylight thunder run right up the middle. [4:33] It was authorized in less than two hours from that pilot going down when we knew where he was. [4:40] And it was authorized in the middle of the night. [4:43] Because anybody that's worked for this man knows he's up in the middle of the night. [4:46] Authorized immediately, without hesitation, audaciously. [4:50] In other words, all I heard is, I'm a good boy. [4:54] Please don't fire me. [4:55] I'm loyal. [4:56] Please keep me in my position of power while my broker shops around for defense money. [5:01] I'm taking the most expensive defense funds for investments allegedly, right, [5:06] per reporting from the Financial Times, which he denies, of course. [5:09] But this whole thing, it's the cruelty first and foremost, the lack of regard for human beings. [5:16] And it's also the ignorance, the insecurity, the incompetence, the embarrassment. [5:22] This is all so dangerous. [5:24] He's going to continue to threaten war crimes while Republicans maintain their silence. [5:29] While his cabinet members praise his words. [5:30] And, as you can see, he's doing it. [5:31] Yes, this is what it's going to look like. [5:31] But in the immediate future. [5:31] actions and people around the world and in this country suffer. And Pete, well, [5:37] he's gonna proclaim that God is good right after threatening more war crimes. [5:43] And that continues today, by the way. Per the president's direction, today will be [5:48] the largest volume of strikes since day one of this operation. Tomorrow, even more than today. [5:54] And then Iran has a choice. Choose wisely, because this president does not play around. [6:02] You can ask Soleimani. You can ask Maduro. You can ask Khomeini. [6:08] To those heroes who planned and executed these rescues, your nation stands in awe. [6:14] I stand in awe. The chairman stands in awe. We all stand in awe of your professionalism [6:18] and bravery. We serve for you. You embody the very best of America. [6:23] To the rescued airmen and their families, welcome home. Your courage and endurance, [6:29] the quiet declaration of faith amid the storm inspires us all. [6:34] God is good. [6:36] Everybody. [6:36] Every day. [6:38] God is good, he says. These people are truly sick. The same man who lied about bombing an Iranian [6:45] girls school, who stood beside Trump silently as Trump lied and tried to blame Iran. [6:51] I love, by the way, one of the themes of this press conference was Trump attacking Iran for [6:56] not allowing full freedom for women while standing next to Pete Hegseth. I mean, Pete goes to a church [7:02] where his pastor is Douglas Wilson, a man who does not believe that women should have the right to [7:07] vote. He opened a branch of his church in Washington DC to be closer to the halls of power [7:15] to agitate for this change, to agitate for policy changes that will take women backward. [7:20] He's part of this growing white Christian nationalist movement that wants to restrict [7:25] rights for women. So nice try acting like you care about that. You're surrounded by Christian [7:31] fundamentalists. They don't like freedom, okay. Now there is so much more that I could say about [7:37] this press conference and there is so much the things that I could say about this press conference. [7:37] conference. But you get it. How things will look Tuesday evening at 8 p.m. Eastern time. [7:43] The the deadline that Trump has given to Iran. That is the big question we're all facing now.
