Take a look at Donald Trump right here, how awkward he looked when he was in the presence

of adult world leaders surrounding him. Before Donald Trump arrived in the Netherlands, you saw a lot of NATO countries bolstering the relationships amongst themselves, isolating the United States. For example, Canada signed a defense pact with the European Union where they basically said, look, our sovereignty is under attack without saying the United States, basically by saying by Trump and we need to stand firm together. And Canada is looking towards Europe instead of the United States and Europe's looking towards Canada. While Donald Trump was in the Netherlands, a few important points.

First off, as Donald Trump was arriving while he was on the plane, he said that he wouldn't necessarily commit to the Article 5 obligations of NATO for mutual defense. He says it has lots of definitions, which it doesn't. It has one definition of mutual defense. So here playing this clip. Are you committed to Article 5 of NATO? Depends on your definition.

There's numerous definitions of Article 5. You know that, right? But I'm committed to being their friends. You know, I've become friends with them. I've become friends with them. I've become friends with them. I've become friends with them. I've become friends with them. I've become friends with them 5, you know that right, but I'm committed to Being their friends, you know, I've become friends with many of those leaders and I'm committed to helping them

And then of course Donald Trump was talking about Vladimir Putin on the plane because what else would he talk about play the clip? You know, I'd like to see a deal with Russia as you know, Vladimir called me up He said can I help you with Iran? I said no, I don't need help with Iran. I need help with you Then around 3 a.m. in the morning, Donald Trump posted the following, all caps, fake news CNN together with the failing New York Times have teamed up in an attempt to demean one of the most successful military strikes in history. The nuclear sites in Iran are completely destroyed. Exclamation point. Both the Times and CNN are getting slammed by the public.

No, the person who's getting slammed by the public is you, Donald. Your approval rating has fallen to the lowest levels in the Gallup poll thus far. 57% of Americans disapprove, only 40% of Americans approve. This is in line with the Quinnipiac and YouGov and Reuters Ipsos, which has Donald Trump's approval in that 37% to 41% range, really the lowest ever for a president at this time in their term. Donald Trump then also post this from the Detroit Free Press. And this is how Gannett had all of their coverage from all of their local papers. It says obliterated.

And so I guess Donald Trump's trying to use as justification or as evidence that the nuclear sites in Iran were obliterated was by posting a newspaper that is quoting him lying and saying obliterated. Because what we actually learned is a few things. First, Iran's enriched uranium stockpile was largely moved before the US strikes, according to the New York Times and several other outlets, and that came from our intelligence sources as well as Israeli intelligence as well. Donald Trump basically tipped Iran off as to the strikes that were going to happen,

and they moved the uranium. Also, this was a CNN exclusive, and then New York Times confirmed that's what Donald Trump was whining about at 3 a.m. in Europe. Exclusive early U.S. intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites. And then the New York Times report says the nuclear sites were damaged but not destroyed and that the centrifuge and a lot of the areas underground are still very much intact. As our editor in chief at the Midas Touch Network, Ron Filipkowski writes, the problem with having a congenital liar as president is that sometimes

the firehouse of lies can be laughably cartoonish, but more often they involve things that are really freaking important for the American people and the world to know, like nuclear weapons. Now here's the thing, Donald Trump had an opportunity to share the intelligence with a bipartisan group of Democrats and Republicans from the House and the Senate. There was a bipartisan classified member briefing that was supposed to take place yesterday who was supposed to present on behalf of the Trump regime, Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, the director of central intelligence, General Dan Cain, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Chris

Landau, the deputy secretary of state, and Steve Feinberg, deputy secretary of defense. But Donald Trump canceled that bipartisan classified member briefing. They said another one was supposed to take place on Thursday, but now we're hearing that it's been indefinitely canceled because the Trump regime does not want to share the damage assessment that was leaked to CNN and the New York Times, which shows that Donald Trump's strikes on the Iranian nuclear sites were a failure. Also his ceasefire appears to be a failure as well. Israel's military chief said yesterday that the campaign against Iran is not over. But all the Trump regime people want to talk about is, can you give Donald Trump a Nobel

Peace Prize? He deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. We heard that over and over again on Fox, Don Jr. posting, affirmative action is when Barack Obama gets the Nobel Prize instead of Donald Trump. And you know, they're racist about it also. As our editor in chief Ron Filipkowski writes, like they are really obsessed with this Peace Prize thing. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Over in Beirut and a lot of other Islamic countries, they are mocking Donald Trump right now and they are showing Donald Trump begging like a dog in front of Ayatollah Khomeini, which is again an embarrassing thing to look at. But that's their propaganda that they have right there. And you know, again, they believe that Donald Trump is weak. Again, I give you my opinion. Let me be very first. My opinion is Donald Trump is weak and pathetic and comes up with fake deals and lies about

everything out of his mouth. I don't want to see the Ayatollah have nuclear weapons. I would like to see denuclearization. I also don't want protracted never-ending Middle East wars. I don't want there to be a Middle East war. Our intelligence did not show that Iran was capable of having a nuclear weapon anytime soon. In fact, quite the contrary, that they weren't going to have one and that this has made the world less safe. That's how I feel about it. I want to be based on the truth and not based on lies that got us into Iraq in a more egregious example even right now.

We got weird posts like this, JD Vans posts, I wonder if other VPs had as much excitement as I do. What are you talking about, man? You're the vice president of the United States, grow up. Act like an adult. Who posts things like that that then Mago Republican Congress member Thomas Massey responds yeah ask Mike Pence about his last month with Donald Trump here was a post from the regime's chief propagandist Caroline Leavitt she goes this alleged assessment that was leaked to CNN and New York Times is flat out wrong and was classified as top secret, but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous low-level loser in the intelligence community. Okay, well, if it was really a low-level loser, why was it then top secret?

And why do you care if it was a low-level loser? They then just say it's false. Then share the real intelligence with the House and the Senate and address the issue with the American people and show us the data and show us the facts. Isn't that kind of a concession what she says there in this denial? It goes on to say, the leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed

mission to obliterate Iran's nuclear program. Do you notice how Donald Trump tries to pull the fighter pilots into it? If you're saying that Donald Trump's lying, you must be saying the fighter pilots are lying. No, the fighter pilots did their job. They were brave. They can't predict where the uranium's going to be. Our troops deserve all the credit in the world.

They carried out the mission. They did it bravely. Donald Trump's the one who calls our troops suckers and losers. And now he's trying to hide behind them. If you attack Trump, you're attacking our troops. Nah, screw that. We're attacking Trump because he's a freaking liar, a felon, a sexual abuser, a bankruptor, and a piece of crap.

That's why we're doing it. But notice how the MAGA Republican talking points have all changed. Did you notice MAGA Mike Johnson going on TV saying, we should never be under illusions that you can just kill the nuclear ambition overnight? That's literally what Trump said, that it was all denuclearized overnight. That's what you all told us. But here's Magna Mike right now. Mr. Speaker, Reuters is reporting Iran's nuclear chief says we're going to immediately start reconstituting a nuclear program. I mean, that's how you negotiate. Are you kidding me? It's madness. I mean, we're under no illusion that you can just kill all their nuclear ambition overnight,

but I think reality has set in over there. We have decimated the upper echelon of their military command as well as their nuclear scientists. I mean, there's not much left for them to rebuild upon, but the idea that they would put out a statement like that at this fragile moment is very frustrating. It goes to show you why Iran has always been an irrational actor. They're not to be trusted, but we've got to use force. This is what peace through strength really means.

You've got to forge the peace through the exercise of strength. That's what decisive leadership, strong leadership that President Trump has provided here allows the opportunity for. We're going to be consistent. opportunity for. So we're going to be consistent. Our message and our actions are going to be consistent. We are going to bring this to a close one way or the other. Here's MAGA Republican Mike Turner, who is one of the top people when it comes to the MAGA Republicans on the Intelligence Committee play this clip. But then let's go to the next step is that we have this headline that CNN

is reporting with the headline says, US bombs did not destroy Iran's nuclear sites, early Intel suggests. What's troubling about that headline and Phil let's try to you know get us all back on track here, is it that headline is not fake news but it's not news because the administration did not say that the bombs destroyed Iran's nuclear sites. I have in front of me the president's statement and the president said that they had sent they had carried out massive precision strikes on three key nuclear facilities. All right. decision strikes on three key nuclear facilities.

All right. So you're all just like changing your tune now and just saying completely opposite stuff right now. Now, I don't want to lose sight as well on the disastrous budget bill because the Senate is still trying to make it even worse than what we saw in the House. According to the, take a look at these polls. Fox says that the disastrous budget bill has a 38% favorability rating. Quinnipiac says it has a 27% favorability rating.

KFF 35% favorable. Pew 29%. Washington Post, Ipsos 23% favorable. So a very unpopular, disastrous budget bill. A good update that we got is remember the provision that the MAGAS tried to stick in there to sell off 250 million acres of public land to Trump's billionaire friends. Fortunately, the Senate parliamentarian said that that cannot go into this bill through the reconciliation process.

So that's at least some good news. But the attacks on Medicaid are actually far worse in the Senate bill than even the House, which was taking away Medicaid from 15 million people. I'll just leave you with this because it shows you just Donald Trump's low character right here. So when Donald Trump was whining that his ceasefire wasn't being followed, just watch how he behaves. He just starts using the F-bomb and just starts cursing and saying F-U-C. I mean, it's just again, like who talks like this? Like who speaks like who behaves like this as the leader of the United States?

It's so strange. Here, let's play this clip right here. You know what? We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing. Do you understand that? Well, there you have it, folks. We'll keep you posted with more.
