Trump has DISASTER MEETING with MACRON and NEARLY COLLAPSES!
Donald Trump just had a disastrous. meeting with French President Emmanuel. Macron. Donald Trump traveled to France. after falling asleep at the UFC event on. Sunday. When Donald Trump met with. Macron, Donald Trump looked lethargic. He looked sickly. He looked as if he. didn't even know where he was. Watch as. Donald Trump was shaking Macron's hand. And again, Trump looks completely lost. Let's play this clip. >> Yeah.
>> Then when Donald Trump started to speak, he started talking about the UFC event. to Macron. Play this clip. >> Merci beaucoup. >> So, I want to congratulate. the president last night. Ciryl Gane won. the fight against a great fighter. Supposed to be unbeatable. And uh that was it. Ciryl is from. France. Did you watch the fight? >> Yeah. Not directly,
but I saw it this morning. >> That was a great fight. It was a great. evening at the White House. >> Very proud of Ciryl. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Now, state regime media, which calls. itself Fox, tried to make sense of how. sickly and lethargic Donald Trump has. been looking, especially how he's been. looking since he's arrived in France. And they said, "Well, it's impressive. that he can even walk right now.". So, is that really where we are? Where. state regime media is praising the. ability of Donald Trump to simply be.
able to walk and be alive? Really? Here, play this clip. >> They're talking about something My main. observation so far is that this is the. first time I've seen a world leader. photo where it's the other leader, not. Donald Trump, gave a thumbs up. The. president just kept his hands at his. sides. >> The fact that he can even walk, Peter, given all he's been through in the last. 24 hours, I think really is quite. remarkable. He's got to be beyond. exhausted. >> Now, going back to this meeting between.
Donald Trump and French President. Emmanuel Macron, Donald Trump then says. that the deal that was just entered into. with Iran is so much better than Obama's. deal because Obama's deal, Donald Trump. said, "Billions of dollars were given to. Iran and you can never do a deal like. that.". Hey Donald, you may want to look at the. deal that you just did where over 300. billion dollars is potentially going to. be given to Iran and tens of billions of. dollars seem to have already been given.
to Iran by your regime, Donald, and. through funneling it through other. Middle East countries. Here, listen to. what Trump says. Let's play it. >> So, we had two big moments when I. terminated the JCPOA. That was the Obama. deal, the Barack Hussein Obama deal. And when I terminated it, it was very. important cuz it was a road to a nuclear. weapon. It was a horrible deal for the United. States. It was a deal where. billions of dollars was given to Iran.
It was a deal where 1.7 billion in cash. was put on a. Boeing 7. Well, not a 7757, I guess, right? But, it was put on a big, beautiful Boeing. 757. They needed a Boeing 747 to be honest. with you because it was a lot of cash. 1.7 billion. was taken out of the banks and given to. Iran. And on top of that, tens of billions of. dollars was paid. So, they tried to bribe.
them to make a deal and that didn't. work. It never works. And uh we. we've done a great job. and hopefully it's going to be a good. relationship and we're going to get. along. And if we don't, we go back to where we. started, but I don't think it's going to. be necessary. The uh. >> Then you can see Donald Trump's just. drowsy body language. Again, he's. sitting very weird as well as French. President Emmanuel Macron is trying to.
address kind of very serious issues. Donald Trump's just completely out of. it. Watch for yourself. Let's play it. >> First it was. fix the nuclear issue. And and it's a very important matter for. for peace. for the whole world and. and it will reopen almost. could provide peace in Lebanon and so we. are ready to uh. take our fair share of the burden and be. part of the the commitment of the. international community in order to. support this deal.
And we will discuss about that together. and with colleagues later on. But it's a very important step towards. peace but as well for global economy. We. will have the occasion to discuss about. uh. the war in Ukraine. in order to re-engage together and and. negotiate a good and solid peace and. sustainable peace and President. Zelenskyy will be with us as well. Tomorrow. >> Then a reporter asks Donald Trump, "So. when will the text of this memorandum of. understanding with Iran be out?" So.
Trump didn't even do a deal with Iran. It's a memorandum of understanding to. begin technical negotiations to maybe do. a deal sometime in the future. And then. Donald Trump says uh you know, "Look, it's a it's a very strong document. My. document is just so strong." What does. that even mean it's a strong document? Watch what he says right here. >> Maybe involved I mean that. but JD was coming in for that. specifically. >> Thank you. >> Mr. President, when will the text of the.
MOU be released? >> I think pretty soon I would say. I mean. I want it to be released cuz it's a very. powerful document. It's not like the. Obama document which was just a terrible. document. This is a very powerful. document and I want it to be released. So, probably pretty soon. I would say. after sometime after Friday. Because the strait opens completely It's. open now, but it opens completely. We'll have all. the mines knocked out of for the most.
part. We have a lot of lanes right now. already. >> Mr. President, >> So, I think I think sometime. I I think sometime in the very near. future, yeah. >> Then the way Donald Trump describes. Israel invading Lebanon and blowing up. buildings in Beirut and in Tyre and in. other areas, he says, uh, "We got to get. that whole Lebanon thing. That Lebanon. thing, we need to get it straight. And. maybe I need to have a little talk with. Hezbollah, too.".
He truly has no clue what he's even. saying at this point. And it's deeply. disturbing to watch this. And I think. this needs to be called out loudly that. we literally have someone there who's a. lunatic and who's there physically, but. not there mentally at all. Let's play. this clip. >> effect. >> Mr. President, what do you expect from.
France and. >> Well, I would love them to do that. I don't think we're going to need much. help because we have an agreement where. it's going to be open. and still free. We had a little argument. on that. It's still free. So, I don't. think we're going to need much help. But, I don't think it's a bad idea to. have a ship or two up here from. a few countries. You'd be a great. country to do it. Cuz you never know what happens, but I. think it's going to be open and. I think it's going to be free sailing. We do want to see if we can straighten.
out the Lebanon the Lebanon thing. Cuz it just seems to just never end. And, that's a mini version of what we. were doing, but and it should not be. tough. Should not be tough. So, Hezbollah, we have to. we have to have a little talk with them. >> The Midas Touch podcast is brought to. you by the Freedom From Religion. Foundation. Let's talk about what's.
really at stake right now. America. started with a rebellion against kings, against divine authority, and against. the idea that government should belong. to one religion or one group of people. That's why the founders created a. secular constitution. No religious. tests, no state religion, power comes. from the people. But right now, we're. seeing a coordinated effort to blur that. line, bringing religion into schools, into laws, and into public institutions. That's not moving forward, that's moving. backward. The Freedom From Religion. Foundation is fighting back, protecting.
the First Amendment because it protects. everybody's freedom of conscience. As. America approaches its 250th. anniversary, we're at a defining moment. Do we keep expanding freedom, or do we. start restricting it? Visit. ffrf.us/midas. or text midas to 511511 to join or learn. more. Go to ffrf.us/midas. or text m.
may apply. >> Then Donald Trump again, all he wants to. talk about is this UFC fight where he. was sleeping. through most of it. I mean, we saw the. footage of him sleeping. I mean, I've. been playing it all morning and played. it yesterday. And Donald Trump's like, "What do you think about the French. fighter? What do you think about the. French fighter? This is better than. better than the World Cup to some? You.
think it's better than the World Cup?". What are you What are you talking about? Let's play this clip. >> happened, but I had two very good. conversations yesterday. We'll be. talking about it. And we had a really exciting, I think. maybe one of the most. incredible evenings in the history of. the White House. We had an evening last. night with the fighters, and. I was very happy. I called last night, very late last night to congratulate you. because in the heavyweight division, a. French fighter won. I I don't know, is.
that maybe more important than the World. Cup to some people? It might be. But it's to some people it might be You. have a good team in the World Cup. Very. good team, but you have good fighters, too. And uh you're a great country, and it's an honor to be with you. Thank. you very much. >> And then Donald Trump says, "And. everybody knows the Strait of Hormuz is. already partially opened, and on Friday. it will be completely opened.". Oh, really? You know, we can track the. ships that are coming in and out. You. know, the strait is relatively narrow,
and these ships are pretty big. So, we. have a sense of ships going out, ships. coming in, and there ain't a lot of them. Let's. just play this clip. >> I was very happy to. say. very. very signed. The deal's all signed. And the strait is already partially. opened. As you know, they're doing a. little hunting for a couple of mines. that. they've already found. Uh but it's essentially ships are. starting to go out.
now. On Friday it'll be completely. opened. We got along very well with Iran. It's a. different set of leaders. As you know, the first set is gone, the. second set is gone, and we found the third set to be very. smart, >> [clears throat]. >> strong, very smart, but uh we ended up. making a deal. Uh I felt badly that we had to go back. on the attack for two nights, and I. thought a third, but. we made it before that happened. >> Now, again, on state regime media, they. were trying to normalize all of this,
that which cannot be normalized at all. And you have MAGA Republican Congressman. Mast, right? And this guy is like the the. neocon, we're going to invade, we're going to. make Iran submit. That's what this guy. has been saying, right? I mean, this guy. wears IDF, I'm not making this up. He. wears the IDF uniform in Congress. Like, that's who this guy is. And so, he goes, look, look, this is a great deal. Yeah,
we're going to give him $20 billion. We can give him $300 billion. But in the end, we can give him hundreds. of billions, but we're $500 billion. ahead. So, we've actually won and. they've paid us, even though we're going. to give them hundreds of billions of. dollars. That's where they are right now. in MAGA world. Just, you can listen to. it for yourself of what they're saying. after criticizing Obama for unfreezing. $1.7 billion.
of Iran funds from decades and decades. and decades earlier that was done. through very controlled mechanisms to. actually do a comprehensive non-nuclear. deal called the JCPOA versus Trump. saying that there's some framework and. then just giving Iran all this money. Watch for yourself. >> [laughter]. >> What kind of confidence do you have that. they'll do it? >> Yeah, there's very little confidence. based upon their history. But what you. see is as a change right now is their. leaders and American leaders, as you.
pointed out, coming to the table to sit. sit together historically for the first. time in in so many years. So, that's a. big deal. You have support from, of. course, the Gulf countries, negotiations. by Qatar and Pakistan meeting in. Switzerland. The presidents with the G7. to discuss it, even though they haven't. had our backs on this. And so much of. Europe also speaking about this. So, there is wide broad-based support to see. this change in behavior take place. And. you have the leaders of America, the. leaders of Iran coming to say, "Okay, we.
can work this out." And let's remember, Iran doesn't have a choice in in a lot. of this because we destroyed so much. Yeah, and I'll give you a quick math. equation. Okay, maybe they do end up. getting $20 let's say. Let's say we're. still 300 to 500 billion dollars ahead. considering we destroyed their navy, destroyed their air force, destroyed all. those nuclear facilities I already spoke. about, their steel manufacturing, their. drone manufacturing, and so many other. things. We destroyed all that and closed. their ports. We're pretty far ahead. >> Yeah, and then you have Brian Mast over.
here talking about Trump's message at. the G7 needs to be that. um Europe needs to be a lot more like. America and less like Europe. What are. you even talking about? Let's play this. clip. >> That was when he was in the Oval Office. with Friedrich Merz, the German. Chancellor. The the fact that he is now. engaging with these leaders who. basically turned and ran instead of. helping him out. It's got to make for. some interesting conversation, I would. think. >> Yeah, undoubtedly. The G7 wants to. remain relevant. They want to have a.
seat at the table even though they. didn't have a seat in helping to destroy. the the very aggressive Iran that had. been attacking everybody. I think the. president's probably going to tell them, "Be a little bit more American and less. European. If somebody is a fighting you. and attacking you, have the stones to go. out there and hit back instead of run. away like what you were doing." And you. see this a little bit. You see Italy, I. believe, has since uh in signaled that. they might uh send a ship or two in. there to help deal with some of the mine. sweeping, but I haven't seen much more. since then. A congratulations from. Starmer, I think that would be the.
extent of it. >> Now, just to remind you of the types of. things that were going on on the White. House. I mean, you had the UFC fighter. screaming that Michelle Obama is a man. Donald Trump hasn't called that out. I. mean, that was the behavior that was being. exhibited at this event. UFC fighters. saying that. You had, you know, uh very. strange. uh like like events where people like. had their shirts off and they were like, I don't even know what they were doing. And then you had like fights break out.
Just take a look at what was happening. over here. >> Hey, watch out. Cops, cops, cops. You're. going to jail, buddy. >> Hey, he just attacked me. >> Come on, man. >> Hey. >> No, stop. >> Meanwhile, you have Iran's President. Puzeshkian putting out the following. statement. The memorandum of. understanding that has been drafted as. the result of months of dialogue and. persistent follow-ups in this regard.
And if all of its provisions are. properly implemented, it can be. considered a document of pride for the. country. I deem it necessary to thank to. thank my brothers, Dr. Galibaf, Aragchi, the members of the Sutra Council, and. all those who have played a role in this. path. That's what they're saying out of Iran. Meanwhile, in the United States, this is. what's being leaked to the press. A. senior US administration official called. Oman very duplicitous in negotiations. with Iran. Showing.
big disapproval with the long-time Gulf. mediator, the foreign minister of Oman. We were very unhappy with the job the. Omanis did. So, we kind of threw them. out of this process. So, just okay, you're attacking Oman right now. Is that. Is that the next place that the Trump. regime is looking to. go after? New new reporting as well. You know how. we reported last month that Trump did. about 3,600 to 3,800 stock trades in the. first quarter? Well, we're getting some. numbers around that. As CBS is. reporting, Trump's investment accounts.
traded between $212 million. and $695 million in stocks and other. securities in the first 3 months of the. year, which is an unprecedented sum, yeah, for for for a a president. And. when Donald Trump did this deal, one of. the things he mentioned or this. memorandum, he mentioned the stock. market, the stock market, the stock. market. But at the end of the day, as. I've been saying, Trump's strategy to everything is just. painted blue, right? That's what I've.
said is like the big symbolism of the. entire Trump regime, painted blue. When. it comes to the reflecting pool, just. painted blue on the bottom. But this is. But as I said on the Substack that I. just wrote, the algae always comes back. You can try to paint over the problem, but when you don't address it, just. painting it blue is never the right. solution. A duck swims over algae at the. bottom of the Lincoln Memorial. Reflecting Pool, which has been painted. blue at the directive of Donald Trump. ahead of his 250th anniversary. This is. what it now looks like. Paint it blue.
