I think he's about to go play golf again and just abandon the White House. More on that in a minute. He's posting photos like this of Maryland Governor Wes Moore. Very strange photos of him being covered with police tape. Very odd stuff.

Trump is sending messages like this to his supporters. I hate to bug you, but I need $10 right now. This can't wait any longer. I have an end of the month. deadline. My administration is being sued. Give right now showing that you support my entire cabinet that radical Democrats are trying to destroy. We're unleashing the next golden age of America. The Democrats are threatening to impeach me, friend. Can I count on you? Please donate $10 right now. Don't donate for what? What are you talking about? The griff continues as Donald Trump

destroys the lives, frankly, of a lot of Americans the way he's destroying the economy and his supporters. The grift just keeps on grifting. Donald Trump has revoked the Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris because he is a small and petty man. And as we just reported earlier this week about that Iowa state Senate seat, Senate District 1, that flipped blue, the Democratic candidate won in a Trump 11.5 congressional district in an 11.5 Trump district. We're now learning that the Iowa Senator, Joni Ernst, who recently told her constituents were all going to die anyway when asked why she supported Medicaid cuts and the disastrous budget bill. She says that she will not be seeking re-election in 2026. So folks, the MAGA Republican senator

in Iowa is out. I guess they're going to try to find someone else MAGA to run in Iowa. But this is what we're seeing across the country right now as these MAGA Republicans. Republicans are seeing likely that they will lose in the midterms, and they are saying that they're no longer going to run. This is from Bloomberg this morning as well. And this is also why we saw in Donald Trump's Quinnipiac numbers, a record low approval at this point. I mean, it was in the mid-30s. And when you look at the generic congressional ballot of young people, I showed this yesterday, 18 to 29, Democrats are almost up by like 30 on a generic ballot amongst young people who see the Trump regime and these

magas destroying the economy and destroying their futures to be able to buy a home and afford things. This is the headline from Bloomberg this morning. Economists see slow U.S. growth, stubborn inflation well into 2026. So the U.S. GDP growth, the second half of last year, 2.8%. The first half of this year so far, 1.4%. The rest of the years projected to be about 1.1% GDP growth. But yes, Donald, the golden age, the golden age of America losing its standing in the world, a shrinking GDP that will continue to shrink 2025 and 2026, as Donald Trump also destroys new forms of energy that also help our economy like wind and solar. You take a look at this right here. Chinese solar energy is now expanding so fast that by the early

2030s, the country will generate more power from the sun than the amount of electricity the U.S. will consume altogether, according to the International Energy Agency. Great Work America. I'm being sarcastic, of course, and Great Work America being sarcastic, of course, has Prime Minister Modi. Here's the other headline from Bloomberg this morning. Prime Minister Modi pivots to Asia as U.S.-India relations sour. India's prime minister is visiting Japan before heading to a summit of regional leaders in China. Not a coincidence that he's going to Japan because the Japanese trade delegation just canceled their meetings in the United States. Japan's lead trade negotiator, Akizawa, says that he's not coming to the United States after Trump has,

continued to lie about the trade deal with Japan. There was a meeting that was supposed to take place this week with the United States. Japan says, uh-uh, we ain't showing up. You're lying about what we discussed in a proposed non-binding trade deal. So we're not showing up. India will be meeting with Japan. And then India, Prime Minister Modi will then be going to Xi Jinping in China at a Shanghai economic conference where Xi Jinping will be assembling world leaders, including, I think,

people, leaders from Brazil and other countries who the United States has really screwed over and China has been able to kind of capture all of this, the bad will against the United States is now turning towards China. Speaking of Brazil, Brazil is starting a formal process to assess additional retaliation against the United States right now. That's all happening. These are the headlines of the past 24 to 48 hours. And you know who's always been in Donald Trump's head rent-free? Not just over the past 24 to 48 hours, but over really Donald Trump's term so far. California Governor Gavin Newsom continues to troll Donald Trump.

We saw this post that he just made. There was a fake Vanity Fair article, I think, of Melania cover circulating. And then Gavin Newsom posted this one of himself with a crown. The American King, Gavin Newsom. Nussum's vocal revolution inside the private world of America's most enigmatic governor, hair, gel, and the art of being handsome. Then Governor Newsom goes, an honor, thank you. Take a look at this post right here of Donald Trump holding a photo of Newsom and Trump next to

each other. I don't think Newsom posted that one, but that one was sent to me and I found it funny. Now, Maga Mike Johnson has given a few interviews this morning on the morning shows. He's had some disastrous appearances. I'm right over here. Fox asks him to respond to California Governor Gavin Newsom's claim that Louisiana has a higher crime rate than California. Watch this. But he name dropped you personally yesterday, essentially trying to say that crime is worse in Louisiana than it is in California. Take a listen. We'll get your thoughts.

If he is to invest in crime suppression, I hope the President of the United States would look at the facts. Just consider Speaker Johnson's. state and district. Just look at the murder rate that's nearly four times higher than California's in Louisiana. How about it? Again, Gavin Newsom will do anything for attention. He can name drop me all that he wants. He needs to go and govern his state and not be engaging in all of this. Look, we have crime in cities all across America, and we're against that everywhere, and we need to bring policies to bear. My hometown of Shreveport has done a great job of reducing crime gradually. But we've got to address it everywhere that it rears its ugly head. And I think every

major city in the country, the residents of those cities are open to that and anxious to have it. And we're the policy, we're the party that's going to bring that forward. I look forward to that. Principally, though, how do you feel? You know, I'm literally wearing one of my True Classic T's right now. I wear their gear all the time. And the reason is simple. It just fits better than anything else in my closet. The guys at True Classic started with a simple mission. Bring premium comfortable clothing to the masses because looking and feeling great should not come with a designer price tag. And clearly people agree, I certainly do. People vote with their dollars and True Classic has sold over 25 million shirts to more than 5 million customers, racking up over 200,000 five-star

reviews. But here's the thing. It's not just about fabric or fit. It's about confidence. Their shirts fit where they should, feel incredible, and don't break the bank. You get that clean, tailored look without sacrificing comfort or blowing your budget. I've been wearing True Classic for a while now, and you could feel the difference the second you put one on. It's tailored where you need it, relaxed where you need it, no bunching, no stiff fabric, just a fit that actually works for real life.

So forget overpriced designer brands and skip the cheap throwaway stuff. True Classic is built for comfort, built to last, and built to give back. You can find them at Amazon, Target, Costco, Sam's Club, or head straight to True Classic.com slash Midas. That's M-E-I-D-A-S to try them out for yourself. That's trueclassic.com slash mitus. Then on CNN, the host, Berman, asks Maga Mike Johnson.

So are we going to be seeing the National Guard in your congressional district? Because there's more crime there than in Los Angeles. Here, play this clip. Sometimes local governance does not do the job, and the oversight in D.C. is long overdue. I was going to ask, when you might be calling for the National Guard. in Shreveport, which is you have part of your district in Shreveport. The FBI statistics actually violent crime per 100,000 residents higher in Shreveport last year than Washington, D.C. There's a lot of good work that's been done. There's a lot of reasons for that. But we have a

Democrat DA there who has not been prosecuting crime, as some other more aggressive DAs have around the country. Soros funded that individual to be elected. But I'll say that, You know, it's an urban area that has a lot of problems that are happening around the country, and we have to address it. So with the guard help? If the guard can help in D.C., president has said he wants to send the guard to Chicago and other places, why not Shreveport? I don't know. That's not my call. It may be necessary. Well, I don't know. Let's take one city at a time and see. We have to address the crime problem in any city where it is a problem like that. And in large cities like in Chicago, as you mentioned, that would be a big help there. I was there just two days ago. And it's a serious, serious problem. They don't even report murders on the evening news in Chicago anymore because it's so common.

And Democrat-run cities typically have that problem because they have not been tough on crime. President Trump is one who believes in that, and we do as well, and we've got to take every measure to make sure we're keeping American cities safe. It's common sense. I want to ask you a... Then Maga Mike Johnson dismisses the unpopularity

of the disastrous budget bill. Let's play this clip. Instrumental, maybe crucial, maybe the singular most crucial person in passing, which is what the president was calling the big, beautiful bill, But he said this week, I'm not going to use that term, great big, beautiful bill. That was good for getting it approved. It's not good for explaining it to people.

I guess my question is why is it hard to explain to people? Our Harriet, and who's a numbers guy, a great numbers guy. I'm sure you've seen him. He put together some numbers and said it's among the most unpopular laws passed since 1990, less so than the Affordable Care Act, the bank bailout and the Republican Tax Bill 2017. Why so hard? I'm not surprised by these numbers at all because there's been an all-out assault and effort by Democrats and the mainstream media to, frankly, misinformed people about what's in the bill.

When they take the same polls of the individual provisions of that giant piece of legislation, they're wildly popular. So what happened over the August district work period is Republicans fanned out Senate and House Republicans across the country to all their districts to go and explain exactly the extraordinary things that are in this bill. It's geared and written for lower and middle class earners. They're going to fuel the effects of that. We restored American energy dominance, peace through strength, largest tax cuts in U.S. history

People are going to feel that before they vote in that midterm election, and I am very bullish on the out. State regime media, Fox is going to do what state regime media known as Fox does. You have the Fox host, Dana Perino, refers to Donald Trump as President Truth. And she goes, oopsie, I misspoke, but he may like that name. Let's call him President Truth now. Really, the biggest liar, fraud, criminal felon, sexual abuser. I mean, this is the strangest thing in the world, man. You'll play this clip.

He's doing his trying to figure out a way to get on the fighting crime. crime train. And President Truth posted this yesterday, President Trump. President Truth also. I think he might like that nickname. Okay. And meanwhile, you have people like this on Donald Trump's cabinet, RFK Jr. This is what we posted this morning on our Midas Touch account. Why are these little kids looking at me funny? They must have mitochondrial challenges. RFK Jr. saying he's diagnosed children with mitochondrial dysmorphia and issues based on his observations of the them. They probably are just looking at him like he's a freaking weirdo who takes away their snap benefits. This is the front cover of the news and observer in North Carolina. Snap cuts could

end free meals for all wake schools. And as well, we're now also learning that alligator alcatraz. I reported on this yesterday too. Looks like alligator alcatraz is going to be shut down, $400 million waste of our taxpayer money. There's a reason why the deficit. The deficit is increasing right now. There's more government spending right now. There's more waste fraud and abuse now than ever before. You know, that's what happens when you fire all of the watchdogs and the government who actually dealt with waste fraud and abuse.

And you make Donald Trump the arbiter of that. There's way more waste, fraud, and abuse. So government spending's up. Our debt is spiking through the roof, which is increasing our deficit by massive amount. So I'll keep you posted every step of the way. That's what's happening in Friday. And it seems like Donald Trump's about to say, all right, my work's been, my work is done.
