Trump gets MANIPULATED by foreign leader AT THE WHITE HOUSE

If it wasn't already clear that every. other world leader knows exactly how to. manipulate Donald Trump, this should put. any doubts to rest. >> Mr. President, it's an honor having you. Thank you very much. >> Oh, no, thank you. >> Thank you. >> I've been looking forward to this visit. for a long time. >> Thank you very much. >> Meeting such a great president like. yourself. >> That's a very nice thing. See, he knows. how to get to me. >> [laughter]. >> He knows he can have anything. Now he can have anything. Would you like. to say to them? >> That was Trump with the Lebanese. president at the White House today, where the foreign leader put on a clinic.

in how to get what he wants from Trump. And let's be clear, it's not difficult. All you have to do is be willing to. compliment Donald Trump, or better yet, give him gold trinkets, or even better, be willing to siphon a few million. dollars into his crypto wallet, and then. he will gladly be your friend. Which. explains this post from Trump shortly. after their meeting. After meeting with. the president of Lebanon, Joseph Aoun, who has done a remarkable job working to. transform his country, I'm hereby. directing the administration to allow. all US airline carriers to fly directly.

to Lebanon, so that Americans can easily. visit this beautiful land. Hopefully, other countries will do the same. Enjoy, President Donald J. Trump. What do you. know? A foreign leader sucks up to. Trump, and Trump does something nice for. them. It's almost like, and I hope. you're sitting down for this, these people know exactly how to. manipulate the sitting president of the. United States. Which, I mean, doesn't. sound great for the security of our. country. But the truth is that Trump is. a narcissist. Narcissists want to be. praised and complimented. >> And on behalf of all Americans, thank.

you for getting rid of that ridiculous. red card. >> [laughter]. >> This is his. >> interesting. >> It was spectacular. There was a reason. the FIFA trophy sat here for as long as. it did. >> Other world leaders aren't dumb. They. know how to manipulate him because he. makes it really easy. For example, this. was the leader of one African nation. >> A Nobel Peace Prize, while I don't see. any problem with it, I think that.

President Trump deserves it for all the. efforts. that he's worked on. And he. brought peace back in the CEA region. That is my region, the region where DRC. and Rwanda. signed a deal. And so he is now bringing. peace back into a region where that was. never possible. So I believe that he. does deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. That.

is my opinion on this. >> Well, thank you very much. It's very. very nice. Thank you. I didn't know I'd be treated this. nicely. This is great. We could do this all day long. Thank you very much. >> And here's Bibi Netanyahu. >> I present to you, uh, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize. Committee. Uh, it's nominating you for the Peace. Prize, which is well deserved. And you should. Thank you very much. This I didn't know.

Wow. Thank you very much. Coming from you in particular, this is. very meaningful. Thank you very much, Bibi. >> Thank you. Thank you for everything. you're doing. >> Thank you. It's a great honor. >> I mean, hell, even Republican lawmakers. were doing it so that they could get a. little pat on the head from Daddy Trump. and curry favor with him ahead of any. potential primary challenge. >> Thanks to his actions, then then he has. brought peace here. Now he's brokered. this peace deal. And I would submit to. you that there's no one more deserving.

of the Nobel Peace Prize than Donald J. Trump. >> Yeah, Congressman, I mean, you're not. the only one who thinks that. Uh, Pakistan, yes, Pakistan, also nominated. President Trump for the Nobel Peace. Prize, only to condemn him a day later. for the strikes on Iran. Now, of course, Pakistan is a close ally of Iran, but I. mean, what did you make of that big. flip-flop? >> Well, you know, again, here here is. someone who is achieving something that. has been attempted by other people for.

years. I mean, let's face it, Barack. Obama won a peace prize, a Nobel Peace. Prize for giving speeches. And and. Donald Trump, he's delivered. He's. actually taken action and and brought. about peace and he deserves it more so. than anyone else I can think of. I mean, this should be a slam dunk. Think about. what he's done. He's he's trying to. broker peace in in between Russia and. Ukraine. He's trying to broker peace and. he has achieved brokering peace in the. Middle East. The Abraham Accords.

Everything he's done. Everybody wants to. say, "Oh, he's a warmonger." No, just. the opposite. He wants peace. He wants. the economies to to thrive. He wants to. and he understands how important this. is. >> And I know that you said it's a slam. dunk, but the president has been. nominated for the prize multiple times. He hasn't won yet. Is it going to be. different this time around, in your. opinion? >> It is. Again, I think this time is is the. charm. I think he'll he'll receive it. this time and he is certainly deserving.

of it and if for some reason he doesn't. get it, it would really be a travesty. >> I don't know which is worse, that these. people are so willing to publicly debase. themselves to be in the good graces of. their megalomaniacal narcissist leader, or that this megalomaniacal narcissist. leader demands this slavish fealty of. everyone who's in his presence. Either. way, not great. But, it's not just the. fact that the that Donald Trump has. these people flating him for stuff as. insignificant as a Nobel Peace Prize. What about the rampant corruption? What.

about selling access via his. cryptocurrency? What about trading on. tariffs for foreign real estate deals? What about the fact that his kids. financially benefit from being at war. given their whip-fast investments into a. raft of military-aligned companies. This. entire presidency is so steeped in. corruption that it's almost impossible. to quantify it, but this is the reality. of the Trump era. This is not about a. president acting in the best interest of. the United States. It is about the. president acting in the best interest of. his own finances, and he's put that on. full display throughout the entirety of.

his second term. And just as bad as Trump's self-dealing. is his entire party's collective. unwillingness to stop it. Remember, Republican senators and Republican. lawmakers are in a co-equal branch of. government. They have autonomy. And yet, instead of exercising that autonomy, they've contracted every ounce of their. power over to the executive branch. They. watch this corruption take place on a. daily basis, and then all these people. who needed fainting couches over Hunter. Biden selling some paintings don't have.

a single word to say about Don Jr. getting hundreds of millions of dollars. worth of defense contracts. I almost. don't know which is worse, the. corruption that we're seeing or the. cowardice when it comes to calling it. out. And frankly, we already know that so. long as Republicans run this government, nothing will change. The grift and the. graft will continue unabated, and the. groveling sycophants will continue to. run cover for dear leader. Something to. remember the next time any of these. people pretend that corruption is. something they despise, as opposed to. their entire governing philosophy.

>> [music]. >> 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. fortunate enough to get it back. It is. the blueprint for progressives who want. to do far more than just restore the. status quo.
