OMG: Trump’s friendly Fox interview turns into DISASTER

Someone should probably tell Fox's Maria. Bartiromo not to ask questions that she. doesn't want the answer to. Do you So, do you believe the price of oil and gas. will be lower before the midterm. elections? I hope so. I mean, I think so. It could. be It could be or the same or maybe a. little bit higher, but it should be. around the same. >> I want you to take a look at Bartiromo's. face the moment Trump says gas prices. will be higher. Probably because gas. prices reached an all-time high in 2022. and national averages right now are 8. cents away from that, which will mean.

that Donald Trump will likely be the. president to preside over the highest. gas prices in American history, which. would be bad enough onto itself, but. worse given the fact that Trump. campaigned expressly on this issue. saying stuff like this on a near daily. basis. Gasoline's going to be I think. gasoline's going to be below $2 at some. point in the pretty near future. It's. very low, much lower than it was under. Sleepy Joe. Yeah, something tells me. that Sleepy Joe Biden won't look too. sleepy after Americans see their fuel. bills in the coming months.

But that was actually a high point. during this interview with Maria. Bartiromo because he went off the deep. end saying this. doing well at all. They're getting killed. I could take out. Iran in one day. I could take that in. one in one hour. I could have their entire energy. everything every one of their plants, their electric generating plants, which. is a big deal. And I hate to do it. because if I do it, it takes you 10. years to rebuild. They'll never be able. to rebuild it. And the other thing you. take out of the bridges. I took out one.

just to show them because. they went public with a statement that. wasn't true. They admitted it. I say, "I'm going to take out a bridge." And I. took out a bridge. And that was the end. of that. Now they've been really. behaving quite well. But in one half of. a day, they wouldn't have one bridge. standing. They wouldn't have one. electric generating plant standing. And. they're back in the Stone Ages. I'd. rather not do that, but I do believe.

they're going to come to the table on. this because. nobody can be so stupid as to say that. we want to have nuclear weapons and have. no cards. They have no cards whatsoever. >> Oh, nothing. Just the president of the. United States threatening nuclear war. again against Iran. In case you thought. that maybe just maybe Trump learned his. lesson after threatening outright. genocide against Iran last week, a move. that lost him the support of even his. most vocal allies. >> Now it's time to say no, absolutely not, and say it directly to the president, "No.".

Case you're thinking about using some. weapon of mass destruction, it's the. population of Iran in whose name we. liberated Iran. We killed their. religious leader for their benefit. Do. you remember that? This was last month. Those people. who are in direct contact with the. president need to say, "No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to. stop this because this is insane. And if. given the order, I'm not carrying it. out. Figure out the codes on the football. yourself." I mean, I don't know about.

you, but I am sick of this. I'm just I'm I'm sick of it. Can't he just behave like a normal. human? I mean, honestly, like the. president I 3D chess shut up. shut up about that. You don't threaten to wipe out an entire. civilization. We're talking about civilians just. casually in a social media post. How do. we 25th Amendment his ass?

The problem is to get the 25th Amendment. harder than impeachment. You have to get. 2/3 of the house and 2/3 of the So, what. do we do? Uh tackle Trump and and pretend let him. pretend he's president and publicly. report that he's going through a health. issue and Vance take over. It literally. needs to be something like that. It's. that bad. Yeah, apparently the lesson. Trump took was to lean in on genocide. just in case anyone missed his lunacy. the first go-around. And what's worse is. that it's not like Trump doesn't. understand the economic consequences.

here because in this same interview, he. said this. You want to see a stock. market go down? Let a couple of nuclear. bombs be dropped on us or frankly any. place else. And you'll then you'll see a stock. market that goes down. So, the stock. market has not gone down very much at. all. Gone down a little bit, much less. than I thought. And the frankly the gas. hasn't gone up as much as I thought. But. regardless, even if it did, we have to stop this group of people.

from having And again, it was worse. because Soleimani was a total, you know, radical. uh I'll be nice maniac. He was a maniac. And you can't let them have a nuclear. weapon. So, I I just have the greatest. economy ever. Everything's going along. and I say, "I'm sorry." I tell my. economic advisors and say, "I'm sorry, fellas. We. We're in great shape. We have to go and. take a little journey down to Iran and. we have to stop them from having a. nuclear weapon." all said, "We agree.".

>> that the stock market will crash if he. does the thing he is currently. threatening to do. Something to remember. as he threatens to take any of the. insane actions that he's suggesting. He. knows full well the consequences. He. just doesn't care. It would almost be. better if he was completely ignorant, but he's not. He's just reckless. He. knows that he's using the market and. global economy as a cudgel in his war. games. He just doesn't care because he. is a lunatic who's perfectly willing to. sacrifice everything that we have in. pursuit of his own ego trip. Listen to.

what Trump then said to Bartiromo when. she asked about getting the price of oil. and gas down. going to be enough? The. blockade in the strait, the opening up. capacity in the United States for Is. this going to be enough to lower the. price of oil and gas, sir? Well, it's. going to be eventually going to be. lower. Now, it might not happen. initially, but it's going to it's going. to go down. When this is all over, look, the stock market, the Dow hit 50,000. It. was supposed to be in 4 5 years. He. literally did the Pam Bondi. Like.

unironically, he pulled this move. Because Donald Trump. the Dow the Dow right now is over. The Dow is over $50,000. I don't know why you're laughing. You're. a great stock trader, as I hear Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000. right now. The S&P at almost 7,000. And the Nasdaq smashing records. Americans' 401(k)s and retirement. savings are booming. That's what we.

should be talking about. >> That dog performance was enough to. get Pam Bondi fired. And yet apparently. Trump decided that that's the best he's. got. In case you were wondering how good. Trump's basket of options were at this. particular moment. The reality is that. I'm actually glad Trump is doing this. little press tour. I'm glad that Fox's. audience will hear right from the. horse's mouth how bad things are under. Trump and how bad they'll continue to. get. I'm glad that they don't have to. assume that if they're hearing it from. the left, that it must mean that it's.

spin. There's no spin when it's Trump. himself threatening more war. When it's. Trump himself promising higher gas. prices. When it's Trump himself. revealing how little he cares about. America first and how much he cares. about squandering every tax dollar we. have in another forever war in the. Middle East. Maybe now the whole country. will finally realize that America first. was window dressing to get your votes. and that all Trump really cares about. all the GOP really cares about is. bolstering his ego, building his legacy, and helping himself.

Before you go, I'm very excited to. announce that I've written a new book. titled The Day After: How to Wield Power. in a Post-Trump World. The book explores. what is, in my opinion, the single most. important theme that we're dealing with. in politics today and moving forward: power. Specifically how Republicans. abuse it and how Democrats refuse to. wield it. This book explains how we got. here and more importantly how we should. finally wield power if we're lucky. enough to get it back. It is the. blueprint for progressives who want to. do far more than just restore the status. quo. Please pre-order today by following.
