Donald Trump just had one of the most humiliating press conferences I've seen.

I guess the purpose of this press conference, Donald Trump is putting gigantic flagpoles on the North and South lawn of the White House. So he put a bunch of construction workers as props behind him, and then he turns around to the construction workers and he says, are any of you illegal? Any illegal immigrants here? Watch this, play this clip. So he then starts taking questions. A CNN reporter asks him about how his warmongering in the Middle East could be unpopular and then he starts attacking the CNN reporter. Here play this clip. No I don't recommend it either. Mr. President, why aren't the supporters on split on the U.S. response to CNN. There's a split there.

Fake news, fortunately nobody watches. Is anybody watching CNN nowadays? I haven't seen it in a long time. Some of your supporters are wary of the U.S. getting involved in another foreign mall. Do you ever ask a positive question? My supporters are more in love with me today and I'm in love with them more than they were even at election time.

Then Donald Trump starts attacking the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell. He calls him a stupid person. I want you to watch the person all the way on the right, the construction worker, who's like, what the hell is this guy even saying here play this clip? You know what it is, but I shouldn't use it in front of the fake news. So it's very sad to see it. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to go very short term, like six months, seven months, eight months, wait till this guy gets out, get the rates way down, and then go long term. Because we have a tremendous appetite for our debt because our country is doing well. But think of it, I got a call from Congress three nights ago, sir, we can't account for the money coming in. I said, that's a good problem. You know, the bad problem

is we don't have it. Next, Donald Trump starts ranting about how his approval rating has never been higher. It's the lowest it's ever really been and it's the lowest in presidential history at this time during a term. Donald Trump is loathed, despised and hated for his vile behavior but here he just goes lying, ranting and raving like a lunatic. Play this clip. I think what she might be alluding to is the base is gonna stay with you regardless And you've gone through different tests. Regardless.

But some of the people in the base don't want a long-term war. They're afraid that we're going to get into a long-term war. We're not looking for a long-term war. We're looking... It's only... I only want one thing. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. That's it.

I'm not looking long-term, short-term. And I've been saying that for 20 years. I've been saying that this is civilian who got a lot of publicity. People would cover it very simply Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon it's not a question of anything else and If you did you wouldn't have much of a country because they would use it on us and they use it on other people and they'd be

a terror all over the world So I may have some people that are a little bit unhappy now But I have some people that are very happy. And I have people outside of the base that can't believe that this is happening. They're so happy. And there was a poll that just came out today that my approval rating is the highest it's ever been. All I'm doing is saying you can't have a nuclear weapon.

And I tried to do it nicely. And then on day 61, I said, let's go, because we can't let that happen. And I've been saying it for 20 years Okay, I'm gonna leave. Thank you very much Thank you, sir. Then Donald Trump says that he tells Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel Just keep on going keep on doing what you're doing play the clip Mr. President, can you share some of what you've told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu? Keep going What do I say? I speak to him every day The Press Donald Trump whines about a 60 minutes interview that former Vice President Kamala Harris gave to 60 minutes in early October of 2024. This is part of that lawsuit that Donald Trump personally

filed for $20 billion against CBS and its parent company Paramount Donald Trump is holding up the merger between Paramount and another company Called Skydance until Paramount personally pays Donald Trump tens of millions of dollars reportedly They've already offered him 15 million dollars, but Donald Trump wants more money from them in my opinion It's an absolutely frivolous lawsuit. Donald Trump saying it's caused him emotional distress and suffering because there were different versions of the interview that was aired. By the way, I watched the interview. There's really nothing that was materially edited at all. Like this is all made up. But anyway, here's Donald Trump whining about that on June 18th, 2025. Play this clip. And they took another answer to another question and put it up. And they did that, I understand, a number of times.

But you don't have to do it a number of times. The main question they asked, and we caught them. And they're very embarrassed by it. And they're working on a settlement now. But think of it, did you ever hear of that one before? They took the entire, every word, threw it out, put another answer. Do you think they do that for me? I think it happens daily. Well, I've never seen it.

And he said on day 61, I said, let's go, let's bomb them. When in fact, we know that the opposite is true.

The Netanyahu basically did it while Donald Trump was saying, we have negotiations scheduled for Sunday. And Donald Trump's director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, had said publicly under oath that Iran did not have nuclear capabilities. But then when Donald Trump watched on Fox the decapitation strikes by Israel against the Iranian military generals that wiped out a lot of the generals, Trump wanted to take credit for it. So Trump said, I did it. Here, play this clip. All I'm doing is saying you can't have a nuclear weapon. And I tried to do it nicely.

And then on day 61, I said, let's go, because we can't let that happen. And I've been saying it for 20 years. Donald Trump then lies and says that gas is as low as $1.98 a gallon, which we all know is false. Play this clip. In California, you know, I've got, we've got some gas stations where just two weeks ago, it was $1.98, $1.99. We've got some gas stations where just two weeks ago. It was a dollar 98 a dollar 90 now We've got the gas down below and we have this little

Situation which will drive it up a little bit, but very little and it's gonna come down again I'm gonna give people a lot of extra money groceries are down eggs are down, you know the eggs They hit me the first week about eggs But next Donald Trump says that he is going to be withholding important federal government aid from California because he doesn't like Governor Gavin Newsom of California. Let's play it. If you went one time, if you went a half a time over the bridge, go see what they're doing.

They're unwrapping the sand. It's all pure sand. And if it weren't pure sand, it would eat away at the metal. Mr. President, with the rail funding in California for your recent dustups with Governor Newsom, impact additional wildfire relief out there? They've requested 40 billion. Sure, maybe. The man's incompetent. He shouldn't have fires like that. You clean the floor of your forest and you won't have any forest fires. You know, Austria has very, very flammable trees.

They don't have forest fires because they clean the floors. They maintain their forest. Good effect. You know, hatred is never a good thing in politics. You don't like somebody, you don't respect somebody. It's harder for that person to get money if you're on top. But he's done a bad job. Donald Trump says the difference between his first term and his second term is that in

his first term he was being hunted and now that he's the hunter, hunting people. So what Trump's saying at his press conference today about flagpoles, mind you, play this clip. Long time. The first time I had it, you know, you guys were after me. I said I had a focus. I was the hunted. And now I'm the hunter. It's a big difference. But he was the same no matter what. Yeah, it is surprising that. Donald Trump is asked about an ultimatum he gave Iran and he said I gave him the ultimate ultimatum play the clip You could say so, you know, they know what's happening maybe you could call it the ultimate the ultimate

ultimatum, right Oh, I don't want to say Then Trump says he spoke to Putin yesterday, who offered to mediate the dispute between Israel and Iran. Let's play it. You know, Russia, Ukraine is so stupid. Would have never happened if I was president. You guys agree with that, right? Would have never happened if I was president. Putin would have never done it. And I spoke to him yesterday and I said, you know, he actually offered to help mediate. I said, do me a favor, mediate your own. Let's mediate Russia first. Okay? I said, Vladimir, let's mediate Russia first. You can worry let's mediate Russia first you can worry

about this later but I think that's gonna work out too but it's so many people have been killed the big thing with that one is far more people are dead than have been reported in the Ukraine Russia many many more people a building falls down they say nobody was hurt A building falls down. They say nobody was hurt Donald Trump talks about winning 35 club championships and he's upset that he hasn't hit a golf ball in three weeks to four weeks Let's play it when you find time in your schedule 35 club championships You'll know that 35 club championships. I haven't hit a ball and three weeks

How many get out there. It's time to get out there. I'm a little busy. Would you rather have me be doing what I'm doing in the end? Of course. See the way they have that hoisting is great. Because if you lift it up from one, you have to lift it from the bottom. You have to get it there.

But if you lifted it from without that a whole thing would split And then Donald Trump says that what they're doing with the flagpole is called a lifting and he says he doesn't want to use the word with an e erection But he is calling it a lifting because if he says erection Then he will get made fun of by the media play the clip have a good they call it a lifting They also use another word, but I'm not going to use that word. You know that is the word it starts with an e You know what the word is if I ever used it. I'd be run out of town by you people Alright, so enjoy it. Thank you. Gonna get some good. He's gonna win another Nobel Prize. I think for this picture

So maybe the flag will be even more exciting But this is pretty exciting. That's some equipment. I'll tell you what That's some beautiful Donald Trump has turned the United States Into the laughingstock of the world how humiliating is what I just showed you I don't care what political party you're from what I just showed showed you is both horrifying and humiliating and absolutely disgraceful.
