We'd love to talk. Business. Donald Trump just wrapped up a disastrous press conference with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia MBS. This was one of the most bizarre press conferences we've seen also. Donald Trump blew up at members of the press when they asked questions. Specifically, he started screaming at female reporters who were asking him good questions. Just take a look at some of these photos from the Oval Office of Donald Trump with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Look at Donald Trump.

He's like flirting with the Crown Prince. and he's like giddy to be there with this weird golden bordello Oval Office. Here's some more photos. Here's another photo, another photo. Really bizarre stuff. But when a reporter asked a very serious question about Donald Trump's family doing business with Saudi Arabia, at the same time the United States intends to transfer F-35 fighter jets and nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia, doesn't that present a conflict of interest?

And the reporter also says, What is your view about the fact that you have MBS here as part of this PR tour while he murdered a journalist, Khashoggi, and did it in a blatant and disgusting way? What's your view about that? Then Donald Trump just starts yelling at the reporter here, play this clip. Is it appropriate, Mr. President, for your family to be doing business in Saudi Arabia while your president, is that a conflict of interest? And your loyal highness, the U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9-11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office. Who you with? Who are you with? Who are you with? And the same to you, Mr. President.

Now, who are you with? I'm with ABC News, sir. Fake news. ABC fake news. One of the worst, one of the worst in the business. But I'll answer you a question. I have nothing to do with a family business. I have left, and when I've devoted 100% of my energy, what my family does is fine. do business all over. They've done very little with Saudi Arabia, actually. I'm sure they could do a lot. And anything they've done has been very good. That's what we've done. We've built a tremendous business for a long time. I've been very successful. I decided to leave that success behind and make America very successful. And I've made America more successful by far than it ever was. And that it ever could have been no matter who was president. There would be nobody bringing in $21 trillion. That I can tell you right now. As far as this gentleman is

concerned, he's done a phenomenal job. You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about, whether you like him or didn't like him. Things happen, but he knew nothing about it. And we can leave it at that. You don't have to embarrass our guests by asking a question like that. So you hear Donald Trump there saying that MBS is entirely innocent of the Khashoggi torture and murder, and he attacks the reporter for bringing it up and he attacks America's intelligence, which clearly shows that MBS was behind the murder and torture of Khashoggi. I mean, this is utterly despicable. Donald Trump is asked another question by that reporter about why are you even waiting for Congress to take a vote

to release the Epstein files? Why don't you release the files now? And then Donald Trump blows up at that reporter again. Here play this clip. Is that pretty good? Mr. President, why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now? It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions.

You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him a horrible insubordinate and just a terrible question. And you could even ask that same exact question nicely. You're all psyched. Somebody psyched you over at ABC. You're going to psych. You're a terrible person and a terrible reporter. Then Donald Trump just starts to praise the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. Because remember, Donald Trump's family has massive business interests with the Saudi sovereign wealth fund,

whether it's his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, the Trump organization's new hotel in the Maldives, various projects in the Middle East. I mean, they're making quite literally hundreds of millions, billions, of dollars from the Saudis. And our military technology is being transferred to Saudi Arabia, which means it's probably ending up with China and Iran and Russia and other places. So Donald Trump, though, says, I'm very proud of Saudi Arabia. I'm proud of the Crown Prince and his incredible human rights efforts.

Incredible. You're applauding Saudi Arabia for what it's done with human rights. Here, play this clip. I'm very proud of the job he's done. And what he's done is incredible in terms of human rights and everything else. And he's the crown prince, the future king. And I just want to pay my greatest respect to your father, King, who was an amazing man. I met him early on.

He greeted me at the airport at an age that was pretty high up there. And it was about 117 degrees that he was standing on the red carpet as I came out of the plane. And he's amazing. And when I met his brilliant son, it was at the Oval Office, shortly thereafter, you came in, representing the country. And I called the father. I said, this guy is fantastic. And I don't know if that helped you or hurt you, but obviously it couldn't have hurt too much. Because here you are, right? Then Donald Trump says that he's been on the same side of every issue with the Crown Prince and with Saudi Arabia.

Trump's always been with Saudi Arabia on every issue. On every issue? I mean, most of the 9-11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. Wahhabism originates from Saudi Arabia. What are we doing here? What are we doing here? Like, seriously, what are we doing here? Here, play this clip.

We have a lot of jobs. So I just want to thank you. We've been really good friends for a long period of time. We've always been on the same side of every issue. I think we've done a great job. in wiping out the nuclear capacity of Iran. Nobody else could have done that. Then Donald Trump, you see what this is really about.

The Crown Prince gives Donald Trump a fake number of investment in the United States. The real number is what the Saudis are going to give to Donald Trump and Donald Trump's companies. But MBS is like, we will now do $1 trillion up from $600 billion. That's what we will invest in the United States. And then Donald Trump, like a snake oil salesman's like, do you mean to tell me? Did you hear what he just said?

He's going to do a trip. Wow. We're going to do a trillion dollars. They're just making up fake numbers while Americans suffer, while Americans are starving, while Americans are having their health care ripped away. But here, play this clip. You are doing that now. You're saying to me now that the 600 billion will be $1 trillion.

Definitely, because what we are signing, it will facilitate that. And I like that very much. No, that's great. I appreciate that. That's great. No, we're doing numbers that nobody's ever done. And a reporter then asks the question, like, okay, you're talking about a trillion dollars, but like, where are you going to get this money from?

Are you just making up numbers, MBS? Here, play this clip. You're talking about a trillion dollars of investment. Could the kingdom continue to do that with oil prices? in the mid-60s? We are not creating a fake opportunity to, you know, please America, please President Trump, it's real opportunities. For example, when you ask about the AI and the chips, Saudi Arabia have a huge demand of

a huge need of computing power, and we're going to spend in the short term around $50 billion by consuming those semiconductors for our needs in Saudi Arabia. And with the agreement that we're going to have, we're going to serve for America that will allow us to focus that consuming power. in short term by $50 million from the South of America and long term with hundreds of billion dollars in the long term. So there's a lot of real opportunities that fit to all of need inside Arabia

and fit to our investment strategy. Mr. President. Then Trump thinks it's funny that he could have asked MBS to help build the ballroom. He's like, I could have had him build the ballroom, but you know, there are some issues about foreign donations for the ballrooms.

But he's like, Everybody loves the ball. It's so popular. It's like the least popular. You destroyed the East Wing of the White House while you're also ripping away health care from tens and millions of Americans. Here play this clip. And it's going to be beautiful.

It's, you know, it's a very popular thing what we're doing. And by the way, no government funds. It's all put up private money, all private money. And in the case, I think there's a restriction on foreigners. Otherwise, I could have asked you just for a check, okay? all know that autumn leaves are beautiful until they're clogging your gutters.

I don't even know what's going on here. Here, play this clip.

And Reagan, he's one of the historical president that have close ties with Saudi Arabia. But we've worked with all presidents. Does Trump blow him all the way? Oh, you. Senator Lee, Mr. President. Thank you. Mr. President. And Trump doesn't give a fist pump.

I grabbed that hand. I don't give a hell where that hand's been. I grabbed that hand. And Trump continues to say, this guy's a great ally of ours. Did you hear him? One trillion dollars? What a great ally. He just said a trillion dollars.

Americans are suffering. We don't want to see the country where 9-11 hijackers came from in the Oval Office. We don't want to see this, Donald. And this is gross. You fawning over this guy is freaking gross. The guy who killed Khashoggi. Here, play this clip. So we just push forward for all the opportunities that we have.

This is, you have to have said, this is really a great ally just the fact that they're now doing I came in here at six I did not know that I was pushing for the the one trillion but he didn't tell me that now he told me this is a great ally of ours you know when you invest a trillion dollars that's national security for us too because it creates jobs it creates a lot of things and I would say Scott right when you hear one country is putting a trillion dollars into the United States that creates national security and you know then Donald Trump's like but you all just you all should just applaud us right now I don't have to be here he doesn't have to be here we're dealing with the future king right here and we're here answering your questions give us respect here play this clip a huge new chapter on this relation that will add value to both of us you know when you think about it I'm just sitting here you're with the future king a man who's respected by everybody a man that doesn't have to be doing this really I don't

have to be doing it either and yet we're sitting here taking questions any quite we didn't say oh you can't talk about this and there's never been transparency like this even in his country but there's never been in our country that's been acknowledged but we didn't put restrictions and I'm saying it's sort of wonderful to be taking questions from all over the world everybody's here this is just a small group representative of tremendous numbers of media that are outside that are very jealous that these people were so selected.

Then Trump says MBS told me that we inherited a mess. He said that I'm doing a great job because we inherited a mess from Biden. That's why the economy is the way it is right now. We inherited it. Here, play this clip. And we inherited a mess. You actually told me you thought the country was in big trouble. I'm not going to use the exact word that you use.

I refuse to say that you thought our country was dead a year and a half, two years ago, but a country was in trouble, and now we have the hottest country in the world. You said that also. But Trump goes, don't worry. Everybody knows we're bringing down prices substantially. They're very low right now. No, they're not. They're absolutely not here, play this clip.

We've done a job. We're also bringing down prices very substantially, and we've already brought them down, very, very substantially. Gasoline is way down. I think you'll be seeing $2 gasoline, but we're now at $250, $2.45, $2.45, $5, $6, $350, $3.75, under Biden, all different numbers, but way high. And Trump goes, when anybody goes into the Oval Office, what they say is, wow, wow. I mean, this grotesque golden bordello, yeah, wow, what the hell did you do to it? Here, play this clip. In the world, like the gentleman on my right, everybody.

walks into the Oval Office and they say, wow, and now, by the way, the Oval Office is in the kind of condition that it should be in. Whether you look at the walk or the marble floors or anything down the road. Then Donald Trump tells MBS that $21 trillion will be invested in the United States or committed to being invested. He just continues to make up these numbers. It'll be committed. No, none of this money is actually coming into the United States. Like, This is quite literally all made up. And how do we know that? Well, we have record deficits right now.

And our debt is surging. So if we were bringing in record investments, shouldn't that be paying down our debt and reducing our overall deficits? Shouldn't that be? Because we're bringing in all this money. But didn't you say that we had a liquidity issue when it came to funding people snap

that we didn't have the cash on hand? We play this clip. The United States is right now the hottest country in the world. And between the tariffs and the election, November 5th election, we've done things that nobody can believe. $21 trillion will be the amount invested in the United States or committed to invest in one year. So I'm here nine months. We're up to almost $18 trillion. Biden, as an example, the Biden administration, if you call it that, it's not to me. It was the Biden lack of administration. They were less than one trillion for four years. And then MBS says, oh, I'm so sorry

to hear about that journalist. I'm so sorry. Anyone who loses their life for no real purpose. That makes me sad. Dude, do you realize the Saudis are literally just giving us the middle finger right now? Play this clip. About the journalist, it's really painful to hear, you know, anyone that's been losing his life for, you know, no real purpose or not an illegal way. And it's been painful for us in Saudi Arabia. We've did all the right steps of investigation, et cetera, in Saudi Arabia. And we've improved our system to be sure that nothing happened like that. And it's painful and it's a huge mistake.

And we are doing our best that this doesn't happen again. Mr. President. And Donald Trump then says, we've never been this. rich we've never been in a position so good here play this clip uh we've never been in a position like this uh you can go back to the beginning our country has never been in a position like this and it really is because of the fact that we use tariffs to bring all this money in what the hell that was that was the press con that was a press conference in the oval office with donald Trump like looking like he was like attracted like he wanted a date the crown prince of Saudi

Arabia how freaking bizarre how odd how how offensive to America was that anyway hit subscribe let's get to six million thanks for watching love this video support independent media and unlock exclusive content add free videos and custom emojis by becoming a paid member of our YouTube channel today you can also gift memberships to others let's keep growing together together.
