TRUMP TRAINWRECK IN PROGRESS Luis Edwin: Trump EXPLODES in LEAKED Call After REALIZING It’s OVER! Canadian PM PLAY YOUTUBE VIDEO Original article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EZ7sm1Vsmk Peter Burgess COMMENTARY To say I am 'unimpressed with Trump' is an all-time understatement. But it is much worse than that ... I am unimpressed by Americans as a whole. The idea that they have voted for Trump to be President ... twice ... is evidence enough that as a whole Americans are the ultimate fools beyond there own little ... very little ... world. For me ... the United States has been very good to me. I have had great opportunities and have been able to live a very good and long life. It has not been perfect ... but it has been pretty good relative to most everyone else! I have no basis for serious complaint! The American problem is that relatively few are able to say or think what I have just written. By far the majority of Americans are looking at their current life and standard living and know that most likely the future is going to be worse than the present and the past! In many ways this is the legacy of Ronald Reagan and Republican policy makers. Back in the mid 1980s, my wife and young son was friendly with Peggy Noonan and her young son. Peggy was a speech-writer for Ronald Reagan and very good at her job. She was (and is) a brilliant writer, For me, however, what she thinks and has to say is essentially 'poppy-cock' and has been a huge failure over the past several decades. 'Trickle-up' economics ... or was it Trickle Down economics ... did not work ... but over time enabled all sorts of economic initiatives that impovershed most people while enriching a relatively small group of rich folk. I am amazed at how few people in the global world of economics seem to understand the role that the OPEC oil boycott of 1973 changed everything. This happened around 1973 and reshaped the global economy at a scale that had never been seen before. For a number of reasons, this OPEC initiative did more damage to the economy of the United States than to anyone else and the repercussions of this remain a huge problem for the United States.

fundamentally different today than it was yesterday the system of global trade anchored on the United States that Canada has relied on since the end of the second world war A system that well not perfect has helped to deliver prosperity for our country for decades is over Donald Trump's presidency has completely Fallen apart it is over it is a disaster and there is no way it will ever recover it will only get worse from here I know it you know it and even Donald Trump knows it he knows he has completely failed he knows his approval rating has tanked he knows that it is over for him so much so that he even is now screaming it on Late Night Calls about how upset he is and we are going 1:01 to get into those leaked calls but before we do if I could quickly ask you to leave a like on this video and if you haven't already and you enjoy our channel to hit that subscribe button it goes a long way and it really does mean a lot to me now there are a couple of reasons why Donald Trump knows his presidency has absolutely flopped and people hate him so we are going to get into those for a little bit of context before we get to this breaking leaked story first let's start with the person who called Donald Trump out in the most brutal way today that was Mark Carney the global economy is fundamentally different today than it was yesterday the system of global trade anchored on the United States that Canada has relied on since the end of the second world war A system that while not perfect has helped to deliver prosperity for our country for decades is over our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United 2:01 States is over the 80-year period when the United States embraced the mantel of global economic leadership when it forged alliances rooted in trust and mutual respect and championed the free and open exchange of goods and services is over well this is a tragedy it is also the new reality we must respond with both purpose and force we are a free Sovereign and ambitious country we are Masters in our own home things in the global order have shifted dramatically Donald Trump claimed that tariffs were being imposed because Canada posed a national security threat which was a complete lie about fenel that anyone with basic Common Sense could see through however now Trump has created a real national security threat we are losing our allies both in trade 3:02 and in Partnerships with many of them turning to China this is the true threat that Trump has brought about and it has reached a point where even his most loyal supporters are beginning to turn against him and calling out how disastrous this plan is just take a listen to Ted Cruz right here look I I I think it is a mistake to assume that we will have high tariffs in perpetuity I don't think that would be good Economic Policy I am not a fan of tariffs and and the announcement yesterday look time is going to tell in the next month or two or three what happens if the result of yesterday's announcement is a lot of our trading partners across the globe dramatically reduce the tariffs they charge on us goods and services and the consequence of that is the US government dramatically cuts the tariffs that were announced yesterday that would be a great outcome that would be good for America if the result is our trading partners jack up their tariffs and we have high tariffs everywhere I think 4:01 that is a bad outcome for America tariffs are a tax on consumers and I'm not a fan of jacking up taxes on American consumers so my hope is these tariffs are shortlived and they serve as leverage to lower tariffs across the globe so Republicans are turning on Donald Trump over his tariffs but of course this isn't the only Scandal that has rocked his presidency as of recently of course signal gate is still fresh in everyone's mind no matter what Donald Trump tried tries to do to distract that in these calls this leaked Call that I'm talking about he is still angry upset and screaming about it even though Carolyn L it wants us to think differently um you said case closed yesterday do you as that case was closed do you have anything that you can share about what was learned how this can be avoided in the future any any sort of findings from that investigation the case is closed and the president continues to have confidence in his 5:01 National Security adviser yes Case Closed really case closed I don't I don't think so Carolyn I don't think the case is closed I think people still want answers and there are reports out there that Donald Trump is is still weighing the option of firing Mike Waltz firing Pete hagf getting rid of tulc gabard this is a story that will continue because Donald Trump said that we were going to have a great economy and maybe a little bit of chaos here and there that was a lie we have a terrible economy and it is constant chaos putting us in danger Donald Trump knows that it's why he's melting down in these calls as we can see in this article right here sobering reality for Trump as he rages at night to friends about negative press 70 days after his return to the Oval Office Donald Trump is finding his second presidential term honeymoon collapsing at as the 6:00 administration officially makes embarrassing mistakes key allies turn on him and more Republicans are publicly bulking at from policies according to a report out of the Atlantic the president is increasingly calling friends late at night to snarl about how things are going as he realizes the sobering reality he is now facing the reporter points out close aids to Trump admit that the president has been knocked off his stride as the signal Gate scandal put the White House in an awkward position combined with the key Republicans beaking at his tarff policy both of which have left him furious with people who are supposed to be his allies that in turn had led to late night angry phone calls according to the reporter Trump has recently taken to phoning allies late at night to complain about a series of negative stories according to the outside Ally in another person who has received such calls he remains angry 7:01 at National Security adviser Mike Waltz for inadvertently adding Jeffrey Goldberg the editor and chief chief of the Atlantic to a signal chat about the attack plans to strike whoie rebels in Yemen he has resisted firing Waltz so as to not be seen as giving into to the media though he has fumed about Waltz having Goldberg's number in his phone add to that he is angry that his bold move to end the wars in Gaza and Ukraine has floundered as attacks have increased instead of tailing off with that report specifically noting Trump has watched as a ceasefire in Gaza has been shattered and as Vladimir Putin has refused to agree to the American terms to bring a temporary how to the fighting in Europe the report adds that Trump was initially pleased with reports on his showy deportations of immigrants to El 8:00 Salvador but he was annoyed that friendly media voices including Joe Rogan questioned a lack of due process and that the right-wing pit pundit and Coulter openly bet at the arrest of a Columbia University graduate student who led Pro Palestine protests while the White House is hoping Trump's Liberation day will get the administration back on track boy is that not the case one GOP strategist told this reporter but recessions and inflation are politically devastating for any president Trump is risking both with his trade Wars so it's understandably making his allies extremely nervous it is all falling apart for Donald Trump and he knows it every decision he makes is tragic everything he does backfires this presidency is the worst we have ever seen and we have already seen a Donald Trump presidency he knows it and his tariffs are only making things worse and 9:01 Lawrence odonnell did a great report on that that I want to check out right here and Grover norquist went crazy and every Republican in the Senate and the house including Mitch McConnell then in the Senate claimed that the Democrats were crushing the American Consumer with that increase in the gasoline tax 4.3 new Gingrich used it in his Insurgent campaign to win control of the House of Representatives for republicans in the next election for the first time in 40 years and tonight new Gingrich supports 54% sales taxes that Donald Trump is imposing and 25% sales taxes that Donald Trump is imposing and 10% sales taxes that Donald Trump is imposing on everything the United States of America imports from anywhere in the world that 4.3 increase in the gasoline tax in 1993 was part of a complex deficit reduction legislation Bill huge Bill signed by President Clinton that included spending 10:01 cuts and tax increases aimed at reducing the deficit which is exactly what it successfully did it was at the time the biggest tax increase in history but that record has been broken broken by Donald Trump Republican Mike Pence who signed Grover norquist's antix pledge in order to win his seat in the House of Representatives tweeted tonight back in the 20th century a nerdy right-wing Republican in Washington who never held elected office named Grover norquist bent the entire Republican party in Washington to his will it was pathetic to watch in effect he forced them to sign a pledge to never vote for an increase in taxes of any kind and every single Republican member of the United States Senate signed where grow NorQuest ordered them to sign every 11:02 Republican presidential candidate signed where Grover norquist required them to sign in order to be Republican candidates and almost every Republican member of the House of Representatives signed exactly where Grover norquist ordered them to sign to never ever ever support an increase in taxation of any form Republicans lived in fear of this guy that guy right there in the middle at the time I declared Grover noris to be the most powerful unelected person in Washington because on one issue anyway he had complete control over one of our political parties former Republican presidential campaign manager my friend Stuart Stevens wrote a book about the grover norquist controlled Republican party after Donald Trump was elected president and he titled that book it was all a lie it turns out Grover nor norquist was and is a lie Rover norquist 12:02 has revealed himself not to be a principled anti-tax crusader as has every Republican member of the Senate and House of Representatives because at some point every single one of them has supported Donald Trump's increase in taxation on Americans through tariffs which are sales taxes administered only on Goods imported into this country and paid only by Americans in this country every one of those Republicans has either actively supported those taxes by Donald Trump or held their cowardly Silence about them and Grover norquist the nerd who was once perceived as the toughest Republican operative in Washington is hiding tonight in his permanent Cocoon of cowardly Silence about Donald Trump's sales taxes Donald Trump's tariffs the last time the gasoline tax was increased in the United States of 13:01 America was 32 years ago with only Democratic votes in the house and the Senate and Grover norquist was outraged the Democrats and Democrats only voted to increase the gasoline tax in America in 1993 the Democrats voted to increase the gasoline tax by 4.3 cents and Grover norquist screamed at the top top of his histrionic anti-tax lungs about what a horrible burden an additional 4.3 cents a gallon of gasoline would be in America what would burden it would be for American drivers and I'll never forget that that outrage about the 4.3 C increase in the gasoline tax because I was working in the United States Senate at the time as the chief of staff of the Senate finance committee and I personally negotiated that number for .3 14:00 with the staff of a Democratic senator who was the final hold out on the gas tax increase the final vote that we needed to get it through the committee we actually started off by trying to increase it by a dime but in the desperate last minute negotiations to get that final vote in the Senate finance committee the most I could get was 4.3 cents which at the time was roughly a 2% increase in the cost of a gallon of gasoline 2% it is no surprise that Donald Trump is once again crashing the economy it is the only thing he did successfully in his first term if Donald Trump was trying to screw us over then he was successful if he's trying to screw us over again now I guess you got to hand it to him he's good at crashing economies he said he didn't want to be Herbert Hoover but that is exactly what he is hopefully that means we get Democratic FDR in 2028 after this but it is all a disaster clearly Trump knows it and we do too that's why we have to call 15:01 him out every single day and if you want to support that as always you can hit that subscribe button leave a like on this video and if you stuck around at the end you can drop a
