BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. By looking at the objective data and evidence before us, it's obvious Donald Trump is falling apart physically, mentally, emotionally. Since he returned from Europe where he humiliated the United States in the Netherlands, in the Hague at the NATO summit, he's been behaving in an extra deranged and addled fashion. He's repeatedly been posting daddy's home and selling daddy merch with his face on it.

This is from the official White House account. America's back, daddy's home, they're actually selling this stuff from the official government White House account. But one of the things that Donald Trump's been doing over and over again, and if you have a family member who has dementia, you may be seeing similar things. Donald Trump keeps calling women around him attractive, and he keeps saying, you know, I think you're so beautiful, I think you're so pretty. And he's saying it in all of these public settings.

And he's done it repeatedly over and over again at multiple press conferences this past week. I mean, look, that's in addition to him talking about having an imaginary friend, Hannah Bolector. It's in addition to him making up fake trade deals and having fake conversation with world leaders that aren't taking place. And I understand corporate news wants to normalize it and say, oh, that's Trump being Trump. This is having a profoundly negative impact on our economy, on our people. It's having real consequences.

I mean, on Friday, the economic data reflected the following. Core inflation spiked to 2.7% in May. That's worse than expected. But Donald Trump and Stephen Miller, they say, there's no inflation. We won. We beat inflation. It's just false. Income falls by 0.4%, a sign of a recession looming. The GDP has been revised down to 0.5% in Q1. Consumer spending drops to 0.1%. New home sales are down by like 15 plus percent. Mortgage rates are above 7%. It is quite rare as Justin Wolfers' economist says for consumer spending to fall in inflation adjusted terms that happened during COVID and during the financial crisis and it's happening now. And let me just show you that this is him on Friday where he was holding a press conference

in the White House and he turns to the woman next to him and goes, oh, you're pretty. Oh, you're so pretty. This'm gonna, this may not be politically correct. He are pretty. Just a weird thing to say from the Oval Office to a woman next to you. I mean, play this clip. She's beautiful and you are beautiful. I'm not allowed to say that, you know, that could be the end of my political career, but you are beautiful and you're beautiful inside. And as I mentioned, he's done this multiple times during a press conference that he had earlier in the week. He talked about a woman named Angelina who he says, Angelina, you're very pretty Angelina.

Here, play this clip. Angelina Banks from Philadelphia. Where's Angelina? Where is Angelina? Oh. Oh. play this clip. Angelina Banks from Philadelphia. Where's Angelina? Where's Angelina? Oh, you are very pretty. And then he talked about how he likes to call waitresses pretty and how he likes to say that waitresses are beautiful. Just strange stuff here, play this clip. I will never say good looking waitress

because looks don't matter anymore, you know, in our modern society. She happened to be beautiful, but I won't say that. Not sure if you saw, but when he landed back in America, he struggled to get down the steps. I'll show you this right here, let's play this clip. (*TV static*) play this clip. And you may recall recently where he fell while he was trying to go up the steps.

I'll play you this clip right here. And when you listen to his press conferences and I guess unfortunately for me I watch them all so I can just show you what's going down. And I do longer takes on it so if you wanted to have more context you can go back and watch. I mean I just show you a few of these clips because each one's more insane than the next. But like he talks about paper clips and he's like someone invented paper clips and they got very rich off of paper clips here, play this clip. And people said, what a great idea.

It's so simple. It's like, it's like the paper clip. Somebody came up with the idea of a paper clip many years ago, 1817, and he became a very rich person and everybody looked at it and said, why the hell didn't I think of that? But it's like the paper clip, but only if the car is made in America, remember that. And again, like what in the world is he talking about here? So then on Friday, he mentions that he bashes Canada again. He says the United States is pulling out of all trade negotiations with Canada. He goes, we've just been informed that Canada, a very difficult

country to trade with, including the fact that they've charged our farmers as much as a 400% tariff for years on dairy products, has just announced that they are putting a digital service tax on our American technology companies. Then Donald Trump basically says, this is egregious. We're terminating all trade discussions with Canada. If he just lived in the real world, he would know that what he's referring to, I think, the Digital Service Tax Act from Canada came into law in 2024.

No one was complaining about this thing, really. American farmers are not complaining about competing with Canada's dairy farmers. That's just not what's happening. American farmers are getting screwed because the retaliatory tariffs placed on the United States now have places like Canada and China elsewhere, going to Brazil and places in Central America and South America to get their stuff. But what in the world is he talking about here? I think this is important also as we learn more details how these strikes on Iran were

not successful successful objectively. Iran's able to still have nuclear capabilities and in a few months if they wanted to potentially have a nuclear weapon, Iran is now no longer cooperating at all with the IAEA as a result of what went down. They're declaring victory in Iran, although not a victory in Iran, but their people are like celebrating and acting like they won. I think they were able to move their uranium out before the strikes took place. Donald Trump is talking about a deal that he's encouraging China to buy cheap oil from

Iran. And ultimately, who's that going to benefit? Ultimately that's going to benefit Vladimir Putin who gets the Shahid drones from Iran. I mean that's the alliance Russia, Iran, China and North Korea. We learned this fact as well. The United States depleted 15 to 20 percent of its THAAD, T-H-A-A-D, missile interceptor stockpile. That is just an acronym for the missiles that were used to kind of shoot down the ballistic missiles and the other rockets from Iran.

So during the 11-day Israel-Iran conflict, the United States spent close to a billion dollars and depleted 15 to 20 percent of the th a ad Thad missile interceptors like that's that's not a that's not a good fact like that's that's not a good stat right there Donald Trump talking about a made-up deal with China that didn't take place We just signed a deal with China yesterday, he said on Thursday. So that would be Wednesday. There's no deal with China. He's making this up. Like, what are you talking about? And now everybody from the Trump regime is saying, well, we should wait for Labor Day. Labor Day, there's going to be deals. Here's Donald Trump talking about, we just signed with

China yesterday. Play this clip. Everybody wants to make a deal and have a part of it, right? I know you and Howard and Scott are working overtime making deals with other countries. You remember a few months ago, the press was saying, do you really have anybody of any interest? Well, we just signed with China yesterday, right? Just signed with China. We have everybody, we're not gonna make deals with everybody. Some we're just gonna send them a, right? Just signed with China. We have everybody,

we're not going to make deals with everybody. Some we're just going to send them a letter say thank you very much. You're going to pay 25, 35, 45 percent. That's the easy way to do it. My people don't want to do it that way. They want to do some of it, but they want to make more deals than I would do. But we're having some great deals. We have one coming up maybe with India, very big one. We're going to open up India. And now here's Treasury Secretary Scott Besson pushing the benchmark down the line and saying maybe by Labor Day we'll have deals. And it doesn't really matter. Donald Trump will just send letters to countries and he'll tell them what the tariffs are going to be. Here, play

this clip. What is the next country we should expect a trade deal to do with the United States? Are you going to be able to get some deal announcements beyond just the UK before this August deadline, where we're going to hear from the Court of International Appeals? Maria, with all things, they get done at the end. You have to put on a deadline.

As you and I know, nothing gets done in Washington well in advance. So I think a lot of the countries are feeling pressure. As President Trump has said, he's created maximum negotiating leverage for Ambassador Greer, Secretary Lutnick, and myself by saying, if you can't get to a deal, he's happy to go back to the

April 2nd level so we have countries approaching us with very good deals we have 18 important trading partners UK China they are they behind us for now or behind us and then Secretaryutnick said yesterday that he expects 10 more deals. So if we can ink 10 or 12 of the important 18, there are another important 20 relationships, then I think we could have trade wrapped up by Labor Day. So we will have taxes and trade,

which I think will provide great stimulus from the economy. And then there's the deregulatory impact. You know, Trump continues to say that gas is a dollar ninety eight cents when it's not a dollar ninety eight cents. I mean, just think about that. I mean, I if I said former President Biden claimed gas was a dollar ninety eight and it wasn't, you'd all be like, okay, Biden's got dementia, Biden's got... Just think about the way the media would report this. But here's what Trump says about gasoline.

Energy prices are way down. Gasoline now is down to close to $2 in a lot of places. A couple of places I see it even broke. It's like $1.98 a gallon. We've done a great job on inflation and honestly, pretty much everything else. You know, and I think this moment right here from Donald Trump's press conference on Friday was the most telling because you could really see what sheeple, what sheep the media is

and that they're willing to throw away our democracy for access to this cognitively addled, physically decaying, dangerous dictator who's destroyed our constitution. So like Donald Trump says, all right, who wants to ask me more questions or should I leave? Do you want me to leave or do you want me to stay? And then everybody in the media was like, stay, stay, stay, please stay, stay. I mean, it's really embarrassing. Here, play this clip. By the mean, it's really embarrassing here.

Play this clip. Should, by the way, so many questions. Should we keep this going? Pamela. This is the opposite of Biden. Biden would take a half a question and he'd leave without answering it. Go ahead.

You tell me when it gets boring. I think that right there is a perfect microcosm of the media giving us all the middle finger. Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay. You know what on right wing media they're still talking about former president Biden. Oh, you still have like a Jake Tapper going around. Did you know that Biden, dude, shut up. We can see Donald Trump before our eyes behaving the way he did. This is from agingcare.com. While some of the inappropriate things that come out of dementia patients' mouths tend

to be off the wall or even comical, Other comments are deeply hurtful to those around them. These remarks are the product of interacting with the world as usual, but without any social filters. A senior with cognitive impairment, for example, may comment on a person's attractiveness, weight, clothing, accent, or even race. And I mean, here Donald Trump keeps talking about his imaginary friend Hannibal Lecter here Watch this during the campaign. I talk about the late great Hannibal Lecter. Do you know who that is? Silence of the lambs I talk about in the fake news would go crazy. Why does he keep mentioning? Well,

Because we want in the landslide. That's why they don't want to have they don't want to have Hannibal In our midst, so I think it's important That I point this out that we discuss the meltdown that's taking place and also We we attach it to the real world consequences, right? Like how is this also impacting you? It's impacting you because inflation's real. It's happening. It's going up. Core inflation's up 2.7% in May.

That's higher than expected. So Trump lied about making things cheaper. And he'll say, oh, in the big bill, there's no tax on social security. That's not true. It's not in there at all. It's just a lie. It's just a lie.

Housing is certainly less affordable right now. We've got ICE agents disappearing, people on the streets. It's bad out there. It's bad out there. Our economy is contracting. People are being laid off. That's the reality. And then you have this right wing MAGA cult trying trying to pretend that, Oh daddy's home, daddy.

Dad, daddy? What do you, daddy? This is the United's daddy? Calling the president daddy? It's some weird stuff and it's not normal. It's not acceptable. We're not going to normalize it ever here on the Midas Touch Network. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million. Thanks for watching.
