Donald Trump had numerous cognitive glitches during this disastrous Oval Office press conference with United Kingdom Prime Minister Kjer Starmer. Donald Trump is asked if he thinks that Zelensky is still a dictator. Donald Trump said, I don't remember saying that. Did I say that? Here, play this clip. President, do you still think that Mr. Zelensky is a dictator?

Did I say that? I can't believe I said that. Next question. Yes, Donald, you did say it and you did post about it as well. More on that in a minute. In addition, Donald Trump was asked about comments he made 24 hours ago where he said the European Union and Europe in general was created to screw over the United States. He was asked about those comments. He said, did I say that? Did I use those words? Here, play this clip.

Obviously, you can do business with our Prime Minister Keir Starmer. You said yesterday that the EU was constructed to screw the US when it comes to trade. What can our Prime Minister say to you to persuade you not to impose tariffs on the united yeah did i use the word that you said that bad word i think so i'm sorry well i think that the eu yeah i've had problems with the eu because uh and we're not talking about we happen to have a great relationship with you but we did have and we do have problems with the EU because. So, folks, either he is a liar or cognitively declining right before our eyes rapidly or just an evil menace. I think it's all three. Just so we can see what he said, let's just pull out the receipts here, play this clip.

A dictator without elections. Zelensky better move faster. He's not going to have a country left. Mr. President, do you still think that Mr. Zelensky is a bit tighter? Did I say that? I can't believe I said that. Next question. Okay, and then we can see what he said 24 hours ago. Again, receipts are important. This is where Donald Trump said that the EU was formed to screw the United States. That's the purpose of it. Here, play this clip. I do, I guess. But I love the countries of Europe. I love all countries, frankly, all different, but the European Union's been, it was formed in order to screw the United States. I mean, look, let's be honest. The European Union was formed in order to screw the United States.

That's the purpose. You know, going back to the press conference that Donald Trump held today in the Oval Office with Keir Starmer. Donald Trump then asked Starmer if the UK could take on Russia on its own. What, like challenging Starmer, challenging the UK so you want to go to war with Russia? I mean, how reckless can you get with your language? Here, play this clip. Between our two countries, that is why this is the greatest alliance for prosperity and security I think the world has ever seen whenever necessary we absolutely backed each other up and that's it could you take on russia by yourselves well all right one or two more yes as kelsey taggart says this is the quote oh look if i've ever seen one what the hell is this guy doing donald Trump then is asked a question.

If Russia were to attack the UK, would you help out the UK? To which Donald Trump says, I don't think they need much help. Play this clip. Just to follow up on that, if British troops are in Ukraine, keeping the peace and get attacked by Russia, will you come to their aid? If the British people are in Ukraine and they get attacked? If British or Ukraine? attacked you know i've always found about the british they don't need much help they can take care of themselves very well

you know what no it sounds like it's evasive but it's not evasive you know the british are have been incredible so donald trump then says that ukraine should never join NATO. Play this clip. The Europeans want Ukraine to be part of NATO as part of this deal. Are you willing to budge on that at all? Or is it a further? Well, I could be very nice and say, oh, well, we'll work to it. Look, it's not going to happen. It's just not going to happen. That's what started this whole thing.

And Biden said that. And all of a sudden the gun started. That was one of the primary reasons this started. And this was long before President Putin. They never said it was an impossibility. So we can say, Oh, gee, well, we'll try. But that's something that's just not going to happen. And then the other question I ask is about the land. Will you get your land back? Well, they've fought long and hard on the land, and you and I will be discussing that. We're going to certainly try and get as much as we can back.

But on the NATO, it's just not, that's not going to happen. Yeah, please. Again, so utterly dastardly, this press conference. What a despicable person Donald Trump is. Here, Donald Trump says that he thinks that Russia's acting very well. It should be noted that Russia continues to bomb Ukraine. And in fact, they've been having their biggest drone swarms recently. Russia's been actually behaving worse than ever. Play this clip. Say this, as I said yesterday, you know, you're talking about a

peacekeeping force. We have to make a deal first. Right now, we don't have a deal. We have Russia. We have Ukraine. I think we're very well advanced. I think Russia has been acting very well. We have representatives, Steve Woodcuff and Scott and Marco and J.D. We're all involved, every one of us and a lot more. Donald Trump then says he would not oppose Eric Prince and Blackwater and other private military contractors rounding up for mass deportation.

Migrants play this clip. CEO Eric Prince was on our channel News Nation. He was talking about his proposal to use private forces to assist in deportations. Have you read that proposal and do you support it? No, I haven't seen it. I don't think it's necessary. Our people are doing a phenomenal job. I wouldn't be opposed to it necessarily, but I'd go to our military people,

and I'd go to Tom Holman and Christy. I'd go to the various and ask, but I don't see it as being. We're doing unbelievably in getting people out, getting criminals out, people that should have never been here that the biden administration with their stupid open borders should have never allowed they came in from prisons and jails and mental institutions so you may know this about me but i'm a new father and with everything that's going on in the world if i wasn't already in

protect my family mode i'm particularly so with all the uncertainty taking place right now. So look, I'm focused on life insurance. So I don't just protect my family now, but I protect them in the future. And so for me, when I go think about life insurance, I wanna make sure that I'm getting the best.

Ladies, it's time to start thinking whether the guy you're dating has post-apocalyptic warlord potential. This is the individual who's accessing your social security

information, your medical records, has access to taxation records through Doge and who knows what the hell else he has. That's what he is posting as he destroys our government, cruelly firing federal workers, including veterans and throwing people on the streets. A reporter asked Donald Trump about, to that point, you know, veterans make up 30% of the federal workforce. You're destroying their lives. Trump goes, no one's ever been better to the veterans than me. Play this clip. I didn't know anything about it.

Mr. President, veterans make up 30% of the federal workforce. Are you tracking how many veterans have been fired so far? Yes, we are. We are. And we take good care of our veterans. So we're watching that very carefully. And we hope it's going to be as small a number as possible. But we are having great success in slimming down our government. It's been really very successful. And some took payouts and buyouts and others took other things. And some people were finding out don't even exist. We're finding that we have a lot of people that don't exist, that people thought that did. We will be making a statement on that.

But we're taking care of our veterans. We love our veterans. We're going to take good care of them. Next, Donald Trump is asked about tariffs. Let's play it. President, on tariffs, you just said with China. Who are you with? Next, Donald Trump is asked about tariffs. Let's play it. On tariffs, you just said with China. Who are you with? I'm with the Independent.

Oh, that's good. It's on tariffs. You just said with China. Thank you. We charge them. We charge them as we charge China. But the tariffs are paid eventually by American importers and consumers. No, they're not.

No, I think they're paid for it by the country. But, you know, look, we can get into that. I had, I put a lot of tariffs on in my first term, and we made tremendous amounts of progress because of those tariffs. Donald Trump then is asked what you would be willing to do if Putin did not stick to the terms of a deal with Ukraine, to which Trump says Putin always keeps his word. I've known him for a long time.

He says that they went over the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax together. Play this clip. Please, ma'am. Go ahead. What would you be willing to do if Vladimir Putin did not stick to the terms of any deal on Ukraine? If he now what? If he did not stick to the terms of any deal on Ukraine, because he's

anxious to me of not sticking to his word when it comes internationally i think he'll keep his word i think i think he's i've spoken to him i've known him for a long time now you know we had we had to go through the russian hoax together that was not a good thing it's not fair that was a rigged deal and had nothing to do with russia it was a rig deal with inside the country and they had to put up with that too they put up with a with inside the country. And they had to put up with that too. They put up with a lot. It wasn't just us. They had to put up with it with a phony story that was made up.

I've known him for a long time now. And I think he will, I don't believe he's going to violate his word. I don't think he'll be back. When we make a deal, I think the deal is going to hold. Now they're going to have security. You're going to have security.

You're going to have soldiers. I know France wants to be there. The president has said he going to have security you're going to have security you're going to have soldiers i know france wants to be there he's uh the president has said he wants to have uh soldiers there i don't think we're going to even be necessary but i don't think there'll be any problem with keeping the deal with the security you want to say something no i'm just going to say i mean the deal if we get it is going to be hugely important. I don't think it would have happened if the space hadn't been created for it by yourself. But if there's a deal in, we've got to make sure it's a deal that lasts, that is not temporary, that lasts. And that's why we need to make sure that it's secure.

And we've lent in and said we'll play our part. And we've talked and we will talk about how we work with yourself, Mr President, to ensure that this deal is something which is not violated, because it's very important if there is a deal. Next, Donald Trump is asked about why the individual named Andrew Tate, who was arrested on alleged sex trafficking charges in Romania, was traveling back to the United States after reports that the Trump administration pressured Romania officials to let Tate into the United States. Here, play this clip. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to keep that one. Keep that one. President Trump, Andrew and Tristan Tate landed in Florida today on a private jet after being

released from custody in Romania. They are accused rapists, human traffickers, not thought of as good people in many circles. Did your administration pressure the Romanian government to release them? And if so, why? I know nothing about that. I don't know. You're saying he's on a plane right now? He's back. They already...

Yeah. I just know nothing about it.'ll check it out we'll let you know obviously this involves um there's an english element here so obviously it's important that justice is done and human trafficking is obviously uh to my mind a a a security uh risk and so i will catch up with the story and do you. Are you aware? I didn't know anything about it. Well, Donald Trump doesn't know about it, but I wonder if his top advisors do. But also Donald Trump doesn't know a lot of things or misremembers a lot of things. This is Alina Haba, Trump's top advisor.

Play this clip. Hey. Hello, Alina. Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm a big fan. Well, nice to meet you. I'm a fan. You're the one saving Trump. You're doing more important work than me. America, America, not just Trump. And I agree with everything you just said. And I think that your anger is the same that President Trump has for our country. And the time is now for us to stop being wimps.

I think that's exactly the right sentiment. And I also have to say that I sympathize with you because I think you go through a lot of the same, show me the person, I'll find the crime that President Trump has gone through. And well, there you have it, folks. Donald Trump humiliating the United States again on the world stage. What a horrific press conference there with Kiera Starmer to our friends in the UK and Europe and Canada and elsewhere watching that. You should know that there are more Americans who don't support that crap than do. Our voices are growing
