Donald Trump fell apart before the United States Navy moments ago. He was speaking at a new naval shipyard that's being constructed in Baltimore while the rest of the world is focused on building cutting-edge drones and modern technology. The Trump regime spending hundreds of billions of dollars building Trump battleships and Trump nuclear submarines. In any event, while Donald Trump was in front of the Navy, he said, I don't have the courage to ever go in a sub. I am scared of submarines. This is what Donald Trump was telling the Navy. So I like the idea of autonomous submarines that I guess work by what, AI submarines? Play this clip.
Autonomous. It just makes sense because I wouldn't— I'm not sure that I would have the courage to go into submarines too much. You guys love them. But me, I'd rather be floating on the sea. So I like the idea of an autonomous sub all down there by itself, but just as accurate.
Then Donald Trump said, says to the United States Navy, you know, we really ended the war with Iran back in 2025. You know, when the B-2 bombers hit, that's when the war ended. And we're just basically staying in there just because, I mean, we obliterated their nuclear capabilities then. So if you obliterated their nuclear capabilities in 2025, then why in February of 2026 did you and Netanyahu invade? Oh yes, because you wanted to engage in war crimes and slaughter little children over there. You believe that you and Netanyahu would be greeted as conquering heroes, which you were not. And you wanted to cover up the Epstein files, the sex trafficking ring that the Trump regime is covering up here. Play this clip.
148 minutes. They don't talk about that. They say, oh, we're in for 6 months into Iran. Yeah, Iran's bigger, but we really ended it as soon as the B-2 bombers hit because that was the end of their nuclear. And that was 95% of the reason we did it. Maybe 100%. This fearless, confident, and strategic use of—
More from Donald Trump over here. And he says the Strait of Hormuz is owned by the United States of America. Here, play this clip.
Blockades in history. Nobody's ever seen a blockade like that with no ships, zero getting in. Every once in a while, they'll do a run. And they'll either hit the cabin if it's got oil, they'll hit the cabin or they'll hit the rudder. If it doesn't have oil, we just sink the ship. Yet oil shipments from outside of Iran right now, they're back to almost higher than they've ever been. In other words, the Hormuz Strait belongs to the United States Navy and the United States of America. That's where it belongs. And that's where it is right now. With all of that being said, we don't need their oil. Others need their oil. And they need it badly, but we're getting it out and we're getting it out at record levels. Our Navy is—
All right, Donald, if it's owned by the United States of America, then why do we only have one aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, 1,000 kilometers away from the Strait of Hormuz? If we control it, shouldn't we see Navy destroyers and carrier strike groups and amphibious assault groups traveling in there? Oh no, it's actually the first time in over 100 years we don't have 2 major aircraft carriers anywhere close to the, uh, Oman, to the Gulf of Oman. Then Donald Trump talks about Venezuela and how we stole all of Venezuela's, uh, resources. He likes to brag about that. This is what's going on in Venezuela right now. This is a 310,000 barrel per day Cardón refinery over there. The country's second largest was shut down after it appeared to have exploded a gas line connected to its diesel hydrotreater. You see over there. And while Donald Trump was giving a speech. That's what was happening. Here's what Trump said about Venezuela while that was taking place. Let's play it.
Of dollars of oil. We paid for that voyage, a little voyage we've made many, many times over. You don't hear that much anymore in this country.
Then Donald Trump does this very demeaning impression of the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum. And then he was doing the impression in front of the Navy where he goes, you know, Claudia Sheinbaum, the president of Mexico, she goes, Donald, please do not rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. I mean, it's just ridiculous. I mean, do you realize how pathetic you look in front of the United States Navy and the world? Here, play this clip.
That was a little rough time when I did that. I got a call from the president of Mexico. No, no, president. She's a very nice woman. Beautiful woman. Beautiful voice. And she said, no, no, President, very elegant. Please, please tell me it's not so. It's so. I'm sorry, ma'am. So we changed the name from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. It is so. I'm sorry.
Then Donald Trump says nobody knows who's running Iran. We just don't even know who to talk to here. Play this clip.
Iran. And the biggest problem I have is nobody knows who the hell is running the country. Nobody knows, but maybe that's a good thing.
And again, when he says things like this, it is so farcical. It is such lunatic behavior, and it's damaging to you. It's damaging to everyone. We know who's running Iran. We know who their president is, Pozharsky. We know who's the head of their parliament, MB Golabov. We know who their foreign minister is, Araghchi. We know who their deputy foreign minister is, Gharbabadi. We know who their spiritual leader is, who also is technically the overall leader of everything in Iran. Ayatollah Mojtaba Khomeini. We know who the top advisor to Mojtaba Khomeini is— Mohsen Razak. We know who the leadership is. Iran has a parliament. They have a process that they at least go through publicly. I watch their speeches on a day-to-day basis to see what's going on. I've shared with you like where they have like a 10K race going on last week. And, you know, we, we can't be this utterly ignorant over here where that, that's the view. Nobody knows who's running Iran. You know, and then Donald Trump says, all right, we got to finish it up, Navy. So the question is, do we do it the nice way or the not so nice way?
Here, play this clip.
They were the bully of the Middle East. They're not so much the bully anymore, but we have to finish up. And it's only a question of which way do we want to do it, the nice way or the not so nice way? And pretty soon you'll find out.
And then state regime media Fox is like, all right, this is absolutely pathetic. Like, I don't care what political party you're from. This guy Sickly is still the commander-in-chief, which is disgusting. But he's afraid of submarines. He doesn't know who to talk to. We're going to do it the nice way or the not so nice way. Really? That's what you're— that's the way you're speaking right here. What does that mean? Are you going to slaughter more children in Manab and Lemaire and Keshem and Sirik? Is that what you're going to do? Here was Fox cutting the coverage. Play this clip.
The highest number was 3. And we're at $21 trillion, and that's building factories all over the country. It's building—
So that is President Trump speaking in Maryland, focused on defense manufacturing. You hear him there talking about the state of the economy. We're going to dive into that.
You've heard me talk about Lorraine, the gum I've been chewing that actually strengthens my tooth enamel. I love Lorraine's gum, and now they're launching something I'm really excited about— a nicotine-free pouch. The Lorraine Co. pouches are pouches that swap out the nicotine and give you clean focus and support your enamel the whole time. time that they're in. It works like pouches you've seen before. You tuck one in and go about your day. Each pouch has 50 milligrams of caffeine, which is about half a cup of coffee, plus L-theanine and alpha-GPC for a smooth, steady focus with no energy crash. And because this is Lorene, every pouch also has nano hydroxyapatite, the mineral your teeth are made of, so it gives you daily enamel support in between brushings. It comes in mint, cinnamon, and mango, and it's nicotine-free always. I'm a Huge fan of this idea. It's giving you smooth energy and focus without jitters or crash, and also it's doing something good for my teeth while it sits there. Every pouch out there, it makes you pick between something that helps you focus and something that's actually good for your teeth. This is the only one designed to do both, and it comes from a brand that's leading the way at supporting your oral health.

And Donald Trump's like, and here's the thing, we've used the military a little bit for peace and goodwill. Here, play this clip.
I rebuilt our military my first term, and we've used it a little bit in my second term. And I'm very honored to have done it. What we've done is incredible, all for peace and all for goodwill.
For peace and goodwill, you brag about taking over Venezuela, where the standard of living there is just as bad as it was before you took it over. They're not producing more oil there, it's the same amount as last year. You entered into a fake agreement where you're gonna steal their hypothetical future oil, and you're lying to the American people by saying it's going into the Strategic Petroleum Reserves, which it isn't. Um, the catastrophic war in Iran has frankly destroyed the economies of Middle East nations. You have destroyed the people's ability to live in the United States and abroad, and you're bragging that you're bringing peace to the world. And then Donald Trump says, and Iran's terrorist leaders, they're all in hell. He says they're all in hell. Here, play this clip.
Men and women of America's armed forces, dozens of Iran's terrorist leaders have been blown out of existence and straight through to the gates of hell.
And then Donald Trump says, I get called, I get calls from all of these leaders. And they said, thank you for what you're doing in Iran. And I say, when are you gonna pay for it? Here, play this clip.
Should have been done by other countries long ago because with time it just got worse. But we've done a job. And frankly, I get calls all the time from the leaders of the world thanking me very much. I said, good. When are you going to pay for it? He says, thank you, sir, for doing such a good job. And I'll say to him, that's great. You want to send some ships? Sir, I would rather not get involved. They don't have any ships. We're really holding up the whole world. It's on our shoulders. And we love doing it in a certain way. We love doing it because we've gotten stronger and others have gotten weaker. They've just gotten weak. They've gotten ineffective. And we're doing things that nobody else, no nation could ever have done. We have—
I mean, we do realize every word sounds Every sound and syllable out of this lunatic's mouth is a total lie. Trump's like, we're holding the whole world up on our shoulders. You could have ended with up. We are holding the whole world up. You are blocking the whole world's ability to basically exist. You're blocking oil supplies. We've lost 3 billion barrels of oil in the past 7 and a half months. But sure, in your fantasy world, we're holding the world up on our shoulders. Here, play this clip.
I don't have any ships. We're really holding up the whole world. It's on our shoulders. And we love doing it in a certain way. We love doing it because we've gotten stronger and others have gotten weaker. They've just gotten weak. They've gotten ineffective. And we're doing things that nobody else, no nation could ever have done.
Then Donald Trump at this Navy event brags about the Republican Party. And he's like, the Republican Party is surging now that I'm doing rallies.
Really?
polls that we've seen, the Republican Party is crashing and crashing more every day. Play this clip.
Trump, if you don't enjoy Trump, by the way, I'm going around doing rallies. The Republican Party's starting to go right through the roof. Somebody said today, I wonder why. Well, I started, I had to get out. I had to do it. We had to explain what we're doing. There's never been a time like this in our country. We have—
Then Pete Hegseth is like, we're here to announce the construction of the largest U.S. shipyard since World War II. Well, Hegseth, the largest U.S. shipyard— so shouldn't our taxpayer money— if it— first off, it should be going to healthcare, it should be going to help the American people. But like, maybe we want to focus on the way modern warfare is actually being done. So we're going to build massive ships, or you say Trump-class battleships, that will cost tens of billions of dollars each While Russia is building up an arsenal of these Gerud-4 and Gerud-5 drones, which cost $75K, $100K each, which one of those Gerud drones can destroy one of these ships, $10 billion, $15 billion ship right out the window. But I know Donald Trump likes the aesthetic of pre-World War II battleships. Here, play this clip. Century. And that's why today we're here to proudly announce construction of the largest US shipyard since World War II. And then Hegseth's message while the Navy was there is Trump rejects the globalist and defeatist status quo of decline. You mean when America was a superpower before you all did what Tim Schneider, who was on the Midas Touch Network, called superpower suicide?
Here, play this clip. Subs and torpedo tubes of the future. Because President Trump rejects the globalist defeatist status quo of decline, that America is just going to become like any other nation. Nope. He demands peace through strength, that peace through strength requires military power. It requires naval power, which has been on full display across the globe. Then Donald Trump returned to the White House and he was asked a pretty basic question. What's the number one issue? This is after he was at the new shipyard. What's the number one issue facing Americans right now? He's like, I don't know. I don't know. He couldn't name one issue impacting the American people. Let's play this clip.
What do you see as the number one issue for American voters in the midterm? Well, I don't know exactly. When you look at the American voters, we're doing better. We're taking in trillions of dollars of investment. We have more jobs. You know, more people are working in America today than at any time in history. Uh, the poverty rate is the best it's ever been in terms of individual. That includes African American, Asian American, Hispanic American. Poverty rate is the single best poverty rate, meaning lowest poverty rate we've ever had. The individual—
And then he says that if Democrats take control of the House or the Senate, the entire country will go bankrupt because they can't do dividends. Because they don't do tariffs, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. Here, play this clip.
And, uh, we win if we, uh, Republicans win that dividend and the Democrats can't do it because they don't do tariffs. And therefore the country is going to go bankrupt.
