1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, I reckon has had as bad a week

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: as any he's had. The difference this week for me,

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: the stuff that made it stand out was he looks

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: increasingly unhinged. Don't you think it was not the un speech,

5
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: don't worry about that. That was classic Trump, a lot made

6
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: of a lot of made up stuff and grandiose pomposity.

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: It sort of wasn't the visa's either given At its core,

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: its classic Trump. They want Americans hired, not immigrants. That's

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: on brand. Chaotic, but on brand. It wasn't even Kimmel,

10
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: I mean celebrating the demise of somebody as a sad trait,

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: but once again on brand, even though Kimmel's back in

12
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: Trump's stance on free speech looks decidedly mad or non existent.

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: Now the real turn of events was won the war

14
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: and two Taylando for a bloke who was sorting Putin

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: day one and Todd Zelenski he didn't have any cards.

16
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: The about face seems astonishing of not worrying. The pivot

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: hands the problem of course to NATO and the EU.

18
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: But what was he thinking taking it on in the

19
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: first place. I mean Putin basically schooled him. He spanked him,

20
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: He's humiliated him. He has that as yet unexplained hold

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: over him that no one seems to understand. And then autism.

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: In watching the heavily touted announcement, the one we'd apparently

23
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: been waiting for for twenty years, he didn't seem to

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: have a clue as to what he was talking about.

25
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: The Amish were raised for God's sake, The ingredient was

26
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: mispronounced and stumbled over, and as a result, pretty much

27
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: anyone in health all over the world called it a

28
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: pile of nonsensical rubbish. The basis of Trumpism is making

29
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: America great again. Too many migrants, too many bad trade deals,

30
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: an economy that isn't performing up to scratch. All of

31
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: that is understandable, and it's what got the votes. Yes,

32
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: there was a chaotic, comedic, braggadocious style to it all,

33
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: but at its base, if you were of a certain disposition,

34
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: it kind of made sense and you can't argue against

35
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: the electoral success. But as the months have unfolded, it's

36
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: got madder and more unhinged and wandered off into areas

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: of extreme improv culminating this week in complete humiliation over

38
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: the war and a pronouncement in an area i e. Health,

39
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: He clearly has zero experience and expertise and clearly has

40
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: listened too much to his nutty mate with a mad voice.

41
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: Disagreeing with his policy approach as politics, but being seen

42
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: as a global clown undermines his reputation and that of

43
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: the entire country, and that's where he took it this week.
