All right, we have some pretty big news. Donald Trump has posted something on his blog, True Social, where his own followers now are starting to reject him. Now, we've seen this kind of bubbling up. First off, there's a permission structure that has been granted by folks like Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Alex Jones, who we did a video a couple of days ago about, who are revealing that Donald Trump is not the person that MAGA thought he was. He's not really America first. He's Donald Trump first, perhaps Israel second. I mean, this is something we all knew.

We could have told them this on October 2024. I'm glad they're catching up. But Donald Trump is seeing that his own followers, they can only be pushed up to a point. Now, the thing that he posted about, that they got upset about, to me is very interesting. But he went through a series of posts that are truly insane, one in which he posted an AI-generated image of the Iran-war. that's just blatantly false, but he tried to pass it as something that has actually happened. And that's why we're seeing folks like this three-time Trump voter in Iowa say the following. President Trump promised to bring down prices.

You voted for him three times. Are you disappointed? Very disappointed. Very disappointed. Why? Because the price haven't gone down. I don't know. I don't know.

I'm over it, I think. Over the Trump thing. The Trump wagon, we were going to call it. You could talk directly to the president. about the war, about the prices, about the economy, what would you tell them? Stop the bullshit. Make America great like you said. That's what I'd say.

Maybe we are going to flip so many states in the fall. It's crazy. Now, Donald Trump has made it even worse because he tweeted this morning. The only reason that communities throughout the USA should not want data centers is if they want to end up being backwards and poor. If they want to be successful and rich with far long, or taxes and jobs all over the place, let data ring. The good news is that there are plenty of other places they want them. If we kill the golden goose, you will only have yourselves to blame.

China could not be happier with this anti-Data center movement. Actually, they can't believe it is happening, President DJT. My question is, first off, please keep tweeting that. That's insane. It's truly an 80-20 issue. 80% of the country do not like data centers. They don't want them in their communities, and they want them to be heavily regulated. And if Donald Trump wants to keep saying that, please do.

And as we're seeing here, his own supporters are not too happy about it. Someone said, you have lost your mind. You will know as the president, you who single-handedly destroyed a nation, God help you. This is on his own platform. Someone else, what about our water supply? Someone said, I regret ever supporting you. Someone else, this statement is insane. I'm already on a water restriction.

Someone else, horrendous messaging. God damn. very, very, very satisfying. Someone else said, put them on her golf course. Listen, that is not a Kamala voter. Tracy Wilkins, that is, I'm like, well, we can't, we can't stereotype, but we can assume that person did not vote for Kamala Harris in 2024. I bet you they wish they did now. Have you ever noticed how you stop seeing my videos for a week? Even though you never unsubscribe. Well, that's YouTube. You can subscribe. You can turn on notifications, watch every single day. And the feed still decides whether my next video reaches you

or vanishes into the algorithmic basement with luggage and several missing socks. And that truly affects what I make. If the algorithm rewards one kind of video, there's pressure to keep feeding it the exact same thing. And I feel that pressure every day. So memberships. Yes, this is the part where I ask for money. It gives us some insulation from that. When money comes directly from you. I can make the videos I think matter, not just the stories YouTube things will perform. That means a researcher, a full-time editor, a producer, call-in shows, real interviews, and investigations that take weeks if they need to. The point isn't charity. This is not charity. It's independence from the algorithm. And if that sounds good to you, please hit join and become a

Palm Beach County Commissioners rejected a proposal late Wednesday to build a digital infrastructure hub to house AI data centers and warehouses, voting in line with the ardent opposition from local residents. The facility known as Project Tango would have filled dozens of acres of land about 20 miles from Donald Trump's Marlago Club. It faced backlash from residents who feared it would cause power and water bill. to spike an echo of tensions playing out across the country as tech giants sprint to build data center. Apparently, Donald Trump is very upset that this is happening.

Now, they try to send J.D. Vance out on defense. And I don't know if he made it better or worse. But here is what he had to say. A data center means higher utility and higher electricity for the people on the ground. So I think what these companies have to do is take advantage of some of the federal deregulatory efforts that we've undertaken. If you build the data center, you should be putting power back into the grid. not taking it out. And if that is happening, I don't think the data centers are that controversial. I don't think that's going to resonate with MAGA, but you never know.

Thomas Massey said this. He said the new directive from the leader, MAGA is required to support all data centers, no questions asked. I'm actually really curious to see if the lemmings fall online or if this is something where they're totally going to break for him. We truly don't know yet. It's never happened before where folks on his side have been so adamant against something. Well, except I guess the Epstein files. I suppose of the Epstein files, they just kind of shut up about it, didn't they? They literally elected him to release them, and then Donald Trump just didn't.

And they kind of just moved on, didn't they? So I do wonder if this is really going to be a red line or if MAGA is going to do what MAGA does, and they're just going to fall in line. Regardless, Donald Trump didn't stop there. He also posted this AI image. One has to wonder if the president actually believes that this is real. Regardless, the Department of Defense actually had to come. come out and reject this, saying the following, the Defense Department was forced on Monday

to deny the U.S. had struck Iran's main petroleum export facility after President Donald Trump posted a fake but realistic AI-generated video showing a purported attack by American forces. The video posted by Trump appears to show oil, storage, tanks, and refineries erupting in flames from the perspective of someone filming from inside a helicopter above the carnage with an accompanying message describing the scene as Carg Island being blown to spend the readings, but a U.S. officials of the following. No such attack had taken place with Kark Island not being among the locations targeted overnight in what has been the first exchange of fire between American and Iranian forces in weeks. Additionally, the head of national Iranian oil company, Ahmed Bovard, said on Monday that

the president's post was laughable and described conditions on Karg Island as calm and appropriate. Donald Trump is truly losing his mind. He also posted the following, saying, they have no air, they mean Iran. They have no Navy. They have no air. They have no air. They have no air. force they have no currency they're not paying their soldiers or police inflation is at 300 percent and their leadership is in total disarray incapable of properly representing the country the only thing they have is fake news i mean literally the projection on that statement is so strong it just smacked me in the face that's crazy that's us that's us we are literally in disarray the only thing he has is fake news that he literally posted moments prior to writing that statement oh my god

And we're learning too that the military is sick of this shit. And they're quitting on him. You got Pete Hexeth into Pentagon having to fact check the president tyrant king. And we also have now members of the military who are just saying, we're not, we didn't sign up for this. Here's that. Seems as though we're also seeing records of the number of people who are trying to leave the military, as you mentioned, as conscientious objectors. And really, they pointed to the specific military campaigns that the United States has started

over the past year. I spoke to one service member who was deployed in support of Operation Epic Fury, which of course is the war in Iran. And this person told me that they believed that they were ordered to target and blow up and bomb civilian infrastructure, which of course is a violation of international humanitarian law as defined by the Geneva Accord. I also spoke with two different service members who were given orders to support Operation Southern Spear, which of course is the military campaign that President Donald Trump began last September, which led to those 60 boat strikes that you were talking to, where those vessels were allegedly carrying narco-terrorists and drugs that were being funneled into the United States. They also resulted in at least 210 people who were killed.

And both of those service members say they were concerned that there was a lack of intelligence or justification for each of these boat strikes. One of them in particular said, you can tell yourself what you want at night and say they were all precision strikes and they were all planned, but there's at least one innocent person that I feel like I indirectly heard. So it was not just a violation potentially of these international laws. A lot of them said that they, you know, cited these surge in civilian death tolls. Many of them talked about that Manab school bombing that happened in Iran at the beginning of this war, where a hundred 150 schoolgirls and teachers die. Which, by the way, we don't talk enough about that the United States is responsible for 500 children dying when that truly did not have to happen. And Donald Trump still will not admit that our country did that. And I think that is just so, like the one thing you could do, I mean, you can't ever bring those people back.

Shouldn't have been there in the first place. You could at least say sorry, but Donald Trump can't do that because then him and Pete Heck Seth and everyone else would be getting themselves and even more. trouble. I mean, we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens because aren't there laws against that sort of thing? Aren't there international laws? Pete Exx has protection right now. I don't think Donald Trump, sadly, is ever going to see a consequence of his entire life. You're seeing that Mag is disappearing from him. Perhaps that's one, but certainly he's never going to be locked up. And I don't think he's ever going to have to pay back the billions of dollars that he's grifted.

But the people under him, they're going to be under intense scrutiny. And I truly think we should not elect one president unless they say that they're going after every single crook and criminal whose broken laws who has taken part in corruption during this moment. So they can enjoy, they can enjoy breaking laws and doing bad things right now, but we should let them know that we're going to come and get them. Like, I know he ran on Lock Em Up in 2016. We literally need a run on that in 2028. All right. Well, if you like this video, please hit like, subscribe and I will see you soon. Thank you.
