Donald Trump looked absolutely horrible as he arrived in Washington, D.C. last night after a disastrous landing in Florida. He was in Florida for a PGA tournament at one of his clubs indoor row. It turns out it was the worst PGA tournament in the history of the league. It was the least attended lowest energy. But the reason Donald Trump looked so horrible in addition to his cognitive and physical decline we've been talking, about why it looks like he was punched in the face, why it looks like he's seeing ghosts right now was he got a dire ultimatum from Iran after Donald Trump was making these deranged social media posts aboard Air Force One during this disastrous landing. Donald Trump ranted and raved like a lunatic on his social media platform making it seem that the United States was going to send naval ships into the Strait of Hormuz and escort some of the tankers that were there.

So Iran immediately responded, and one of Iran's top officials, Iran's National Security Commission Chairman Abraham Azizzi posted the following warning. Any American interference in the new maritime regime of the Strait of Hormuz will be considered a violation of the ceasefire. The Strait of Hormuz and the Perth of Hormuz and the Perth of Hormuz and the Perth of Hormuz and the Perth Gulf would not be managed by Donald Trump's delusional posts. No one would believe blame game scenarios. Now, just look at Donald Trump and Don Jr. walking back to the White House right here. Donald Trump needed Don Jr. to help him walk and carry his bags as Iran was just piling on.

You then had Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson post the following. The president of the United States openly describes the unlawful seizure of Iranian vessels as piracy, brazenly boasting that we act like pirates. This was no verbal slip. It was a direct and damning admission of the criminal nature of their actions against international maritime navigation. The international community, UN member states, and the UN Secretary General must firmly reject any normalization of such belief. and violations of international law. And that's referring to Donald Trump's deranged speech that he gave in Florida, where he said, I guess the United States has become a bunch of pirates.

And it's quite profitable when we steal Iranian cargo ships. Now, when Donald Trump was aboard Air Force, one, as we were heading into Monday, now today is Monday, but Donald Trump does market manipulation with his outside chief propagandist, a guy by the name of Barack Ravid from Axios. Every Sunday, Donald Trump and Bach Barack Ravid pulled us. Every Friday, Donald Trump and Barack Ravid pulled us. It is a racket that we call out here on the Midas Touch Network, because in my opinion, it is patently intended to manipulate the markets

while nothing material has changed in that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and firmly under the control of Iran. So Barack Ravid last night while Donald Trump was aboard. Air Force One having this disastrous landing. Donald Trump panics and he goes, ah, it's Monday. I forgot. It's market manipulation. Monday I was so caught up in the disastrous low energy PGA event in Doral.

So then Barack Reveed and Trump speak. And here's what speaks in Barack Reveed posts the following. Trump. The U.S. will begin escorting ships stuck in the Strait of Hormuz. If this process is disrupted, we will deal with it by force. So on that message, the oil future. prices started going down. This is part of Donald Trump's jaw-boning technique, where he manipulates the oil markets and the stock market. Then Donald Trump posted the following social media post on

on Trout Social. Countries from all over the world, almost all of which are not involved in the Middle Eastern dispute going on so visibly and violently for all to see have asked the United States if we could help free up their ships, which are locked in the strait of Hormuz, on something which they have absolutely nothing to do it. They are merely neutral and innocent bystanders. For the good of Iran, the Middle East, and the United States, we have told these countries that we will guide their ships safely out of these restricted waterways so that they can freely and ably get on with their business.

Again, these are ships from areas of the world that are not in any way involved with that which is currently taking place in the Middle East. I've told my representatives to inform them that we will use best efforts to get their ships and crews safely out of the strait. So when you would read that, you would say, so is Donald Trump sending Navy ships into the Strait of Hormuz to help escort some of these ships? That's how Iran was taking it at first. That's why you have these Iranian leaders saying the things that I just told you.

Also, Iran issues a warning to ships close to the United Arab Emirates, indicating that if the U.S. indeed, engages in a Navy mission in the Strait of Hormuz, that the United States, that Iran would strike the United Arab Emirates. Here's a message that just went out. Ships anchored near the Ross Al-Kamai, UAE were suddenly told over the radio to leave and head toward Dubai, with reports linking the warnings to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps. Iran may be trying to clear the area or assert control,

so ships were moving away for safety. And then the Wall Street Journal reported what Donald Trump was saying was just a pure bluff. The new initiative Trump announced to guide-trapped ships out of the Strait of Hormuz doesn't currently involve U.S. Navy warships escorting vessels through the strait. As Donald Trump said, according to senior U.S. officials who then contradict what Donald Trump said, rather, It is a process through which countries, insurance companies, and shipping organizations can coordinate moving traffic through the straight. So Donald Trump puts that message out, manipulates the markets. Then it's determined what he said is just a complete and utter lie.

Meanwhile, Iran was basically preparing for open hostilities to resume. Okay, we're ready to fight this war. And then you have a statement coming out, actually, that's not really what Donald Trump. I mean, how utterly embarrassing is that then U.S. SentCom had to like clean this up for Donald Trump. So CENTCOM right now, which has been utterly compromised by this ridiculous Trump propaganda, in my opinion, which is sad because CENTCOM should be nonpartisan and non-political, but they have to clean up this mess that Donald Trump created. And so this is what they write.

They go, CENTCOM forces will begin supporting Project Freedom, May 4th, to restore freedom of navigation. The mission, directed by the president, will support merchant vessels seeking to freely transit through the essential international trade corridor. Our support for this defensive mission is essential to regional security in the global economy, as we also maintain the naval blockade, Admiral Brad Cooper said, notice the language there. This defensive mission is what they're saying. Okay, defensive mission. Then it goes on to say last week, the U.S. Department of State announced a new initiative. partnership with the Department of War, the Defense Department, to enhance coordination and

information sharing among international partners in support of maritime security. So, in other words, you're saying you're just re-announcing what was already announced last week, but now Donald Trump is pretending that this is a naval mission to escort ships through the strait of Hormuz. Do you realize how utterly deranged this is? Well, it gets worse because Donald Trump in the White House kept on posting AI photos of himself holding Uno cards, and then it says, I have all the cards. Yes, Donald, that's a bad thing in Uno.

You want to have the least amount of cards in Uno. Our editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski writes, in Uno, that means you are losing. We posted on the Midas Touch account, bringing Uno cards when your opponent has a straight, to which Iran's social media accounts then posted. yes, we have less carts because Iran, unlike Donald Trump, understands the way Uno works. By the way, when Donald Trump was landing in Washington, D.C., with that disastrous landing, he then had Marine One do a tour, if you will, of the East Potomac Golf Course. Remember back in December of 2025 we reported on the Midas Touch Network that Donald Trump was seizing control

of the public golf courses and he wanted to turn them into Trump golf courses. Well, over the past week or so, Trump's been pushing that plan in addition to the triumphal arch and the golden ballrooms and the Trump Kennedy Center and all of these things. And the new proposal regarding this East Potomac Park golf course, it like rips up all of this public land that was used for like flag football and running troughs and all of these things that people loved about DC. And he wants to turn it into some, like, bizarre, fancy golf course that nobody at all wants right now. Back to some of the warnings, though, that Iran is giving to Donald Trump. We also see that one of the top advisors to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, a guy by the name

of Ali Akbar Valletti says, whoever tampers with the global lifeline will put themselves in a bind. And I'll just show you, I mean, how deeply unsurious of a person Donald Trump is. I mean, we know this, but like, you take a look what was going on in Mar-a-Lago with the guests that were there over this weekend. I mean, take a look right here. I censored out the face, but this is how a lot of the guests were dressed. You had Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago patio, and they had, like, weird singers. I'll just show you what was taking place. I mean, horrible voices.

You had this taking place. Let's show you what was going down. And while Donald Trump is involved in that jester activity, that, deeply unsurious behavior. You have Iran's president, uh, Peseshkin and Iran's foreign minister Araji taking calls with former allies of the United States. I mean, for example, you have Germany's foreign minister reaching out to, uh, his counterpart foreign minister Araji, foreign minister Araji speaking with, uh, the French, speaking with others on a, on a bilateral, uh, basis. And meanwhile, you have Iran's social media accounts mocking Donald Trump with posts like this.

This is 100% on brand. Here's what they posted. Of everything else, we then land on top of it. And we developed the ship, we developed the car to go over the oil, a very profitable business. Who would have thought we were doing that? We're like pirates. We're sort of like pirates. And then you have like lots of Trump propaganda outlets saying, well, it looks like Iran's planning to send dolphins loaded with explosives to attack American ships. And Iran has a dolphin army, and Iran's just mocking that. SendCom update, Persian Gulf, dolphins have Trump on their kill list. Next, they'll boycott his yacht parties and demand free Iranian. I mean, they're just mocking the hell out of the United States now.

On a very serious note, though, as well, all of this is deeply serious, but it was reported that a tanker was attacked by multiple unknown projectiles on the Oman Corridor of the Strait of Hormuz, kind of right near some of the area where some of those ships were evacuating. The attack happened just before Donald Trump announced unilateral U.S. Navy operations in the Strait of Hormuz, although it turned out what Donald Trump announced was actually We made an announcement last week about offering coordination with insurance companies and ships if they want to leave on their own, but the United States is not sending its ships through the straight of Hormuz. And so the status quo remains unchanged, but it does see, I mean, Ron still controls the straight of Hormuz. No insurance companies are going to insure ships to leave the strait of Hormuz.

Or they do. It's going to be in an exorbitant price. no ships are going to be leaving. And so this is just more of Donald Trump's market manipulation for you. That's really what we see over and over again. And, you know, look, go back to March, mid-March, where Barack Ravid posted, Donald Trump, inks deal with international coalition. They're heading into the Strait of Hormuz.

Remember, then the oil plummeted, the price of oil plummeted, the futures. It's like, oh, the U.S. Navy's going into the Strait of Hormuz. they pull this every, it seems like every Sunday now. There's a Friday manipulation right as the markets are getting ready to close to bump it up for the week. Then as the market starts, they do it. They let the market kind of Tuesdays, Wednesdays, the markets go down. Then usually Thursday, Fridays, they pump it back up. I mean, it's the same cycle we've been seeing now, right?
