Donald Trump just blew up on live TV during a disastrous press conference with the President of the Philippines, Ferdinand Bang Bang Marcos Jr., who is the son of Ferdinand Marcos Sr., the dictator in the Philippines from 1972 to 1981 who disappeared and killed thousands of people in the Philippines during a very dark period in that country's history.

During this press conference, Donald Trump praised Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr.'s family. I'll get to that. But Donald Trump had a complete freakout during this press conference when he was asked about Jeffrey Epstein. As Donald Trump is asked a question about it, he goes, I don't really focus on that. That's like a, it's like a witch hunt. It's like a, it's a continuation of the hoaxes against me. You should be focused on Obama, he says. Here, watch this clip. No, I have no concern. He's very, he's a very talented person. He's very smart. I didn't know

that they were going to do it. I don't really follow that too much. It's it's sort of a witch hunt, just a continuation of the witch hunt. The witch hunt that you should be talking about is they caught President Obama absolutely cold. Tulsi Gabbard. What they did to this country in 2016, starting in 2016, but going up all the way, going up to 2020 of the election, and they tried to rig the election, then they got caught. And there should be very severe consequences for that. You should be focused on Obama.

During this press conference, Donald Trump then tries to say that he's got all of this evidence. He goes, even more than just evidence on Obama. We're going after him. We're going to go after my political enemies. That's what Trump is saying in front of the president of the Philippines. I'll get to that in a moment. But here Donald Trump attacks the chairman of the Federal Reserve,

Jerome Powell, in front of the president of the Philippines. And Donald Trump says, you know, Jerome Powell, he has these think tanks. They build buildings for people who think in their tanks. Does Donald Trump think that a think tank is actually something that builds tanks? What is he talking about here? Oh, and then Donald Trump says that Jerome Powell should raise the interest rates.

I think you mean lower, but okay, it's just a bunch of cognitive mush here play this clip. And you know, he has these think tanks and they build, they build buildings for people that think and it's really not thinking. It's a little bit of combination of thinking, but it's, it's something you sort of have or you don't have. They don't, this, this, the job he's done is just terrible. He ought to raise interest rates. You know, we would.

So then Donald Trump talks about how he goes, we've found absolute evidence, even something that's better than evidence regarding Obama. We're going to get all this out. Watch what he says here. Play this clip. But what we found is even more so that Now we found absolute, this isn't like evidence or the, this is like proof, irrefutable proof that Obama was sedacious, that Obama was trying to lead a coup. And it was with Hillary Clinton, with all these other people, but Obama headed it up. And you know, I get a kick when I hear everyone talks about people I never even heard of. It was this way.

No, no, it was Obama. He headed it up. And it says so right in the papers. It's got everything. Got everything. This is the biggest scandal in the history of our country. And it really goes on to even the auto pen, because it all relates to the same thing. It all started the same sick minds.

You have an auto pen, which is a tremendous, well, we don't have a president. We have an auto pen that signs everything. I'll bet you sign everything. You don't have auto pens. He goes, he already said he goes, it's sedacious. The behavior is sedacious. Then Donald Trump is asked if he supports the Department of Justice seeking to interview Ghislaine Maxwell before she is subpoenaed by Congress.

And Donald Trump's like, I know nothing about that. Sure, Donald, you think we don't know that you were the one who ordered it? He goes, I know nothing about it, but I think that I would be okay with that. What a liar. Here, play this clip. Do you support the Justice Department seeking to interview Ghislaine Maxwell? Do you urge the Attorney General to see him? Think that I would be okay with that. What a liar here play this clip I don't know anything about it. They're gonna what meter Yeah, I don't know about it, but I think it's something that would be sounds appropriate to do you Know I know he's very he's a very talented person. He's very smart. I didn't know that they were gonna do it

I don't really follow that too much. It's It's a sort of a witch hunt And as you saw maybe in the earlier report I did, the Department of Justice, Pam Bondi and Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney, Todd Blanch, who is the number two at the Department of Justice, they're now saying they're going to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell right away and see what she knows. Now this follows the Trump regime ordering thousands of FBI agents to go through the Epstein files, 300 gigabytes to flag every time that Trump's name was mentioned. Donald Trump from this disastrous Oval Office appearance here, he says,

we're going to go after Obama. I don't care what they've done to me, whether it's right or I'm going after them. Here, play this clip. But going up all the way, going up to 2020 of the election, they tried to rig the election and they got caught. And there should be very severe consequences for that. You know, when we caught Hillary Clinton, I said, you know what? Let's not let's not go too far here.

It's the ex wife of a president. And I thought it was sort of terrible. And I let her off the hook and I'm very happy I did. But it's time to start after what they did to me. And whether it's right or wrong, it's time to go after people. Obama's been caught directly. So people say, oh, you know, a group, it's not a group. It's Obama. His orders are on the paper. The papers are signed. The papers came right out of their office. They sent everything to be highly classified. Well, the highly classified has been released. And what they did in 2016 and in 2020 is very criminal. It's criminal at the highest level. So that's really the things you

should be talking about. I know nothing about the other, but I think it's appropriate that they do go. More attacks on Hillary Clinton here. I mean, do you see how obviously terrified he is of the Epstein files? He's getting desperate right now. Here, play this clip. But that was a big thing. No, no, we caught Hillary Clinton. We caught Barack Hussein Obama.

They're the ones and then you have many, many people under them. Susan Rice. They're all there. The names are all there. And I guess they figured they're going to put this in classified information and nobody will ever see it again. But it doesn't work that way. Nobody will ever see it again, but it doesn't work that way. And it's the most unbelievable thing I think I've ever read. So you ought to take a look at that and stop talking about nonsense because this is big stuff. Never has a thing like this happened in the history of our country. And by the way, it morphed into the 2020 race and the 2020 race was rigged and it was it was a rigged election. And because it was rigged, we have millions of people in our country.

We have we had inflation. We solved the inflation problem. But millions and millions of people came into our country because of that. Then Trump declares Obama guilty of treason. Here play this clip. It wasn't lots of people all over the place. It was them, too. But the leader of the gang was President Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him? And except for the fact that he gets shielded by the press for his entire life, that's the one they. Look, he's guilty. It's not a question. You know, I like to say, let's give it time. It's there. He's guilty. It's not a question. You know, I like to say, let's give it time. It's there. He's guilty. They — this was treason. This was every word you can think of.

They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election. They did things that nobody's ever even imagined, even in other countries. You've seen some pretty rough countries. This man has seen some pretty rough countries, but you've never seen anything like it. And we have all of the documents. And from what Tulsi told me, she's got

1000s of additional documents coming. So President Obama, it was his concept, his idea, but he also got it from crooked Hillary Clinton crooked is a three dollar bill. If you think he's guilty then arrest him then do it then do it and if that's what you want to do if you're going to lie about him then just do it already and stop the whining and stop the complaining and stop the distraction and release the Epstein file so that people can see it. Oh, then Donald Trump attacks Democratic Senator Adam Schiff.

Let's play it. I was going to add one more thing about Adam Schiff. Director Pulte reports that Adam Schiff claims he lived in a one-bedroom apartment. How does a family of four, and you're a developer, a very successful developer, how does a family of four live in a one-bedroom apartment? Now, it looks like Adam Schiff really did a bad thing. They have him. Now, let's see what happens. It's not up to me. It's not up to... I stay out of it purposely. But it's mortgage loan fraud. It's a big deal.

He defrauded banks and insurance companies and the federal government. But it's very simple. It's mortgage loan fraud. And you're right. That's a lot of people to live in a one bedroom apartment, right? But he put it down. But he has a lot of other things far worse than that. So, you know, Adam Schiff, they have him 100% on mortgage fraud. Now, if it was anybody else in this room except you, you would have no problem. But anybody else in this room, you'd have a problem. I'd have a problem. Yeah please. Then he calls Jerome Powell a numbskull. Let's play it. You know what? People aren't able to buy a house because

this guy is a numbskull. He keeps the rates too high and probably doing it for political reasons. The only time I remember him cutting rates, I mean he cut the rates just before the election to try and help Kamala or whoever he was trying to help. He probably didn't know. And he's building a building. He's 2.7 billion dollars. They have a 900 million dollar overrun. What is that? And that was given by Biden. That was another Biden deal. And this guy's building this building that's severely overrun. And what does he need the building for? Why does he need, he needs space for more people.

This is where Trump goes.

Trump goes regarding Ferdinand Bong Bong Marcos Jr.'s family, a great family, a great legacy from the Philippines. That's why I wanted to give you the historical context of Bong Bong's father, the dictator. Here, play this clip. Here of the Philippines, a great family, great family legacy, and highly respected in this clip. Here of the Philippines, a great family, great family legacy and highly respected in this

country. I know that because I have many friends in the Philippines and it's great respect or I couldn't say it. So congratulations. We're going to be talking. Then Donald Trump announces that, I guess, why is the president of Philippines there? Donald Trump goes, we're very close to finishing a trade deal. Play this clip.

It's an honor to have you. We're going to talk about trade today. And we're very close to finishing a trade deal, big trade deal actually. And we do a lot of business with you. It's a lot of income coming in for both groups. But I was surprised to see the kind of numbers are very big. And then Donald Trump announces the trade deal. So the tariffs against the Philippines were at 20 percent, and now Donald Trump has agreed to tariff the Philippines at 19 percent. The Philippines will have no tariffs against the United States, meaning the Philippines' people won't be taxed for purchasing American goods. But on the other hands, America is going to tax America now

to get goods from the Philippines. Great work. Now you think all of a sudden the people in the Philippines are gonna be like, great, now we're just gonna buy everything from America. With all of our wealth over here, let's buy all American things. What are you talking about?

Donald Trump over here, this is where he says that Jerome Powell should raise interest rates, but I think he meant lower interest rates. Here, play this clip. He ought to raise interest rates. You know, we should be at 1%. We should be leading the world.

And then Donald Trump says that Democrats hate our country. Here, play this clip. I don't understand why they would have allowed that. There's only two reasons. The vote. Is it one voters? It's one reason. I don't think they would have done it for that because they cheat.

You know, they're so good at cheating. They don't need that. But the vote and the second reason is they hate our country. I think they hate our country. I actually do. And it's the biggest problem. I mean, much of our time is spent with, you know, we have the strongest border anywhere in the world now.

Maybe even stronger than your border, if you can believe it. No people came in last month. Zero, which is pretty amazing. I'm not even sure I can believe that. But liberals are the ones that do that calculation. But we had no people come in a year ago we had hundreds of thousands of people come in hundreds of thousands of people

and they floated and if it wasn't for the election it would have been millions of people came in last year so millions of people prior to election time they allowed millions and millions of people to come into our what a completely bizarre and unhinged press conference that was, again, attacking former President Obama, attacking Hillary Clinton. I mean, it's very clear that Donald Trump is distracting from the release of the Epstein list and the Epstein file. Over and over again, we see Donald Trump just, terrified here, and again in front of the President of the Philippines and congrats, now the rest of the world knows that if you basically show up and do everything that Trump wants, he'll maybe lower the tariffs by just

1%. By 1%. That's why you can't do a deal with this idiot. Anyway, hit subscribe, let's get to 6 million subscribers. Thanks for watching. Can't get enough Midas? Check out the Midas Plus sub stack for ad free articles, reports, podcasts, daily recaps from Ron Filipkowski
