Speaker 4 (0:00) Donald Trump has been screaming at his top aides as it is all falling apart. A new Wall Street Journal article says that Donald Trump is expressing massive frustration at his advisors, that he's not getting thanked enough for whatever the hell he thinks he's doing with the Kennedy Center. The report says that Natalie Harp, Donald Trump's Human printer was showing him some of the articles that MSNOW, CNN, and Politico were writing about him, about his low approval rating, and that's when he decided he was going to ban those outlets after Natalie showed him the article. And folks, Donald Trump's staff is leaking to the press and to the Wall Street Journal in particular about just how angry Donald Trump is getting as he's not able to get his way. Speaker 4 (0:51) It's getting nasty at the White House. Now, Donald Trump, of course, was losing it late last night on social media per usual. He was posting the following. Gas prices were much higher under Biden than under Trump. So were almost all other prices, DJT. Donald Trump's supporters on his own social media platform, or I should say former supporters, were not having it one bit. They responded gaslighting. No, they weren't. They really weren't. Pardon me. Gas prices are through the roof. Sure. No, they weren't. End the war, please. I don't care what gas prices were back then. I care about what they are now. Diesel is $7.25 in Michigan.

So while gas prices are surging, diesel prices are surging, as wars rage on across the world, this is what he's posting, his hemisphere. Who the hell do you think you are, you loser lunatic? We all know what a fraud you are right now. Even your own former supporters now finally recognize it. But Donald Trump starts posting photos in his little safe place in his mind. He posts photos of himself playing golf in his Virginia club, hitting balls with Bryson D, hitting balls with Bryson D. That's what Donald Trump posts, these deranged videos as we're at war, as the American people are suffering. That's what he's posting. He posted this weird AI image of the White House. with garbage bags that say CNN, MSNBC, and Politico. I mean, this is his behavior, right? I mean, it is truly the behavior. No offense to deranged toddlers, fascist deranged toddlers. No offense, but that's how Donald Trump behaves. And then when you go to the White House, it says, the White House website, it says, welcome to the golden age. Yeah, that's how I'm sure American people feel like this is the golden age. No. Maybe because you looted from the American people and you stole people's money with all your quid pro quos and you fly around on Qatari Air Force One with Natalie Harp while the world is burning down because of
