Trump so confused, the room FREEZES

There was an event in the Oval Office yesterday involving the president and others, and it went so strangely that the people around Trump were sort of stunned into silenced into silence. Trump looked confused. The people in the, in the Oval Office looked confused. Trump really struggling even to finish a sentence here. And Donald Trump continually trying to minimize this completely corrupt bribery project called

the ballroom in which various actors and grifters are donating out of the goodness of their hearts for the demolition of parts of the White House in order to build Donald Trump's ballroom. And Trump says that they're doing a lot of things. Not only are they doing ballrooms, they're going to be doing arcs or arch. I don't know what he's talking about.

Take a listen to this.

Well, as you Mr. Dell about contributing, can you walk us through maybe who you've been

talking to and how much more we can expect on top of it? I think the people you probably would think I would be talking to I have. There's a group of people out there that have been very successful and we've already started talking to him. You know, we're doing ballrooms, we're doing ox, we're doing we have a thing that's being planned that's going to be a great tribute to the country, as you know, you probably heard about it. The arc that we're looking at by the bridge by near Arlington, there's going to be something.

We're doing some other things for Washington itself and for the country itself. But a lot of the people that have, you know, gone in and done a real job with that, the ballroom, I think Michael and Susan, the next time we meet, well, I think we'll hopefully we'll meet before then. But we're going to have a big event over in the ballroom to celebrate this. We're building a ballroom that they've wanted at this beautiful White House for 150

years. They've wanted it so badly. Right now, we can hold 109 people, if you're lucky, in a room. It's a beautiful room, but it's 109 people. And we're building something. You see the trucks in the back. You see the clanging, the banging and when it's completed, it'll be one of the greatest

ballrooms anywhere in the world. It's going to be amazing. So people that were involved in that process, I have a lot of friends with a lot of success and every one of them, I would be shocked if anyone turns us down. We're going to have a lot of big contributors.

Jeff. If anyone turns us down, we're going to have a lot of big contributors. Jeff, does anyone in my audience, even if you are a MAGA believe that these projects are on the up and up and I've got to commend this. I don't normally take this show as an opportunity to just praise MAGA people, but there are some MAGA people I want to praise. I am hearing more regularly than ever from people who write to me and they say, you know, David, I'm not a person of the left.

I don't really agree with the left's view on tax policy. I don't really agree with the left's view on a lot of social issues even, but the level of corruption, grifting, self dealing that this president is involved in, I cannot support it. And this is what suggests to me that the opportunity to really unite to the extent that unity is possible against this MAGA movement is not about convincing right wingers that we should

be taxing the rich more, even though, by the way, that's a pretty popular position, but many of them don't agree with it. We are not going to find unity by convincing right wingers on issues of, you know, trans or LGBT. Like that's not what it's going to be. It is going to be, listen, everything is at stake with this level of corruption going,

uh, on, uh, w w without consequences I think is the way that I will say it. And if and when we can remove such a brazenly corrupt administration and movement that is MAGA, then we can get back to figuring out what should the top tax rate be? What should we do about issues of transports or foreign policy or whatever? And I want to really commend, it's not a lot of them, but I am hearing from more and more magas who are writing to me and saying, I can't

in good conscience support this grift, this corrupt grift anymore. And it's this sort of stuff that is making them feel that way. A reporter brought up to Trump, you know, you've you pardoned the former president of Honduras. Seems like it is at odds with now going after alleged narco traffickers connected to Venezuela. When on the other hand, if you really cared about drug trafficking, you wouldn't have pardoned the Honduran president. Trump goes, no, no, no, no, no. That was a Biden witch hunt. Take a look. I did. You also pardoned the former president of Honduras and he was released from prison.

I did. Well, he was the president and they had some drugs being sold in their country and because he was the president, they went after him. That was a Biden horrible witch hunt, which was a lot of people in Honduras asked me to do that and I did it. I feel very good about it. Uh, if you have some drug dealers in your country and you're the president, uh, you don't necessarily put the president

in jail for 45 years. That was a Biden inspired witch hunt.

Did his letter impact your decision on that?

You know, Donald Trump many times has called for the death penalty for drug dealers. When he was a candidate, he said they should get the death penalty. And now Trump is pardoning, pardoning someone convicted of narco trafficking. But there's an incredible detail here. You know who prosecuted that case, which Donald Trump has now issued a pardon for the Biden witch hunt case. It was a guy named Emil Bovee. That name might ring a bell because Donald Trump made Emil Bovee a judge on a court of appeals federally. Sounds like Trump was really disgusted with that prosecution,

right? Remember that it is all grift. It is all grift. Trump on policy proposals saying we're looking at programs to raise the birth rate like what Australia did.

We're originally discussed as a way to incentivize people to have more children.

Are there any other policy proposals you're looking at like this to encourage the birth

rate to increase?

Well, we are looking at, at programs. We're looking at, there's a certain Australian plan that people are liking and they're talking about. You know what I mean? There's a plan where, not for children necessarily, but it's for people, working people. And we are looking at other things different from this.

I think this is very unique, but different from this, but very important, yeah.

You mean the Australian retirement savings program? Now, as if you couldn't tell from that deranged word salad, Trump doesn't know what Australia did. He seems to have no idea what Australia is doing, but I'll tell you what Australia is doing to try to increase the birth rate. Number one, they've increased the subsidy for what's called the childcare subsidy. They've increased the amount of money and they've removed the annual cap on the amount

families can claim. Republicans are against that sort of thing. They've done direct cash incentives called the baby bonus. Trump said he might be up for that. They've set up, this is so critical. Australia set up a parental leave and family payment structure.

Okay. Over decades, Australia has expanded the financial support for families through family benefits and per child payments. Republicans hate that crap. They don't want paid, paid parental leave. They don't want any of it.

So the current thinking is that everything Donald Trump is saying we should be looking at is stuff that Republicans have said they are against. Does Donald Trump really even understand what's going on with the birth rate? Does Donald Trump understand what Australia is doing? Of course not.

But he delivered a word salad so impenetrable that everybody around him froze. But he delivered a word salad so impenetrable that everybody around him froze. Question, do you think Republicans really care about the declining birth rate or is it just a proxy
