00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.240
Calaroga Shark Media from Washington, d
C. Where the depths of Donald Trump's

2
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:15.480
ever changing loyalties balance the heights of
Joe Biden's trolling prowess. This is ballid

3
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:20.199
Today, We've got quite the smorgas
board of stories for you. First up,

4
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:24.960
we'll explore Joe Biden's newfound hobby of
trolling Donald Trump, from mocking his

5
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:30.000
hair to poking fun at his courtroom
naps. Then we'll delve into Trump's secret

6
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.920
plan to take over the Federal Reserve
if he wins in twenty twenty four,

7
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:39.079
because apparently he thinks he's the only
one qualified to steer the nation's monetary policy.

8
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:44.119
And of course we can't forget about
Trump's sudden change of heart regarding RFK

9
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.880
Junior, who has gone from Maga
hero to Democrat plant faster than you can

10
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:55.359
say flip flop. It looks like
President Biden has found a new hobby trolling

11
00:00:55.439 --> 00:01:00.560
Donald Trump, and I've got to
say he's not holding back. From mocking

12
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.760
Trump's hairstyle to poking fun at his
energy levels in court, Biden is hitting

13
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:08.239
the former president where it hurts.
But it's not just personal jabs. Biden

14
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:12.840
is also using policy arguments to get
under Trump's skin, reminding everyone of the

15
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:18.920
former president's questionable track record on issues
like abortion, the pandemic, and the

16
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:23.280
economy. It's like Biden is saying, hey, remember when you were in

17
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.719
charge and everything was a dumpster fire. Good times. Of course, Biden

18
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.959
and his team are being careful not
to talk too much about Trump's legal troubles

19
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.120
directly. They don't want to be
seen as interfering or influencing the proceedings.

20
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.760
Instead, they're just casually mentioning how
busy Biden is with his own campaign,

21
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.000
you know, as one does when
their opponent is stuck in a court room.

22
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:47.120
And let's not forget the split screen
moments as Trump sits in court.

23
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:51.840
Biden's team is making sure everyone knows
what their boss is up to, traveling

24
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:56.079
on Air Force one, meeting with
donors, and definitely not falling asleep during

25
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:00.599
important conversations. It's a not so
subtle way of saying, look at me,

26
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.760
I'm the president and I'm actually doing
my job. Let's take a moment

27
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.479
to appreciate the art of the political
job. First up, we have the

28
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:13.319
classic hair and energy combo. Biden's
been poking fun at Trump's infamous coff and

29
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:15.960
is apparent lack of stamina in the
courtroom. It's like he's saying, hey,

30
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.560
Donald, maybe if you spent less
time on your hair and more time

31
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.280
on your legal defense, you wouldn't
be dozing off in court. But Biden's

32
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.000
not just going for the low hanging
fruit. He's also taking aim at Trump's

33
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:32.039
policy failures, abortion pandemic response,
the economy. Biden's like, remember when

34
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.400
you drop the ball on pretty much
everything? Yeah, I do, don't

35
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.879
forget the I'm too busy to watch
your trial jab. Biden's out there telling

36
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:44.479
donors, sorry, folks, I
can't catch the latest episode of Trump in

37
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.680
court. I've got a country to
run. It's the presidential equivalent of I

38
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:52.400
can't hang out, I have to
wash my hair. But perhaps the most

39
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:58.599
brutal job of all the imaginary conversation
with a defeated looking Trump, Biden's over

40
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.400
here telling stories about how he had
to turn down Trump's plea for help with

41
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:07.919
his crushing debt ouch. That's got
a sting. But here's the thing.

42
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.400
While Biden may be enjoying his new
role as Trump's chief troll, it's not

43
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.680
all smooth sailing. The president has
had his fair share of gaffes and missteps,

44
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:22.080
like repeating debunked claims about driving an
eighteen wheeler or accidentally reading teleprompter instructions

45
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.919
out loud. It's almost like he's
trying to remind us that he's not perfect

46
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.639
either. It seems Donald Trump has
a secret plan up his sleeve if he

47
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.840
wins the twenty twenty four election.
And no, it's not just another scheme

48
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.719
to build a wall or make Mexico
pay for it. This time, he's

49
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.120
got his sight set on the Federal
Reserve. According to reports, Trump's aides

50
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.759
have drawn up a ten page document
outlining a new vision for the Central Bank.

51
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.560
And by new vision, they apparently
mean let's let Trump set interest rates

52
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.879
himself. That's right, the man
who once said the Fed had no guts,

53
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.800
no sense, no vision, now
wants to be the one calling the

54
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.479
shots. The player also includes the
authority to give Jerome Powell, the current

55
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.120
FED chairman, the boot. You
know, the same Jerome Powell that Trump

56
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:12.120
himself appointed during his first term.
I guess when you're Donald Trump, loyalty

57
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.519
only goes so far. Surely this
is just a joke, right, No

58
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.360
president would actually try to take control
of the FED and set interest rates themselves.

59
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:25.480
Well, think again. Trump supporters
are apparently dead serious about this plan,

60
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.360
and they want to make it a
reality if he wins in twenty twenty

61
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.560
four. But hey, what could
possibly go wrong with letting a guy who's

62
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:38.639
filed for bankruptcy six times take control
of the nation's monetary policy. All joking

63
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:43.519
aside, this plan is a recipe
for disaster. The independence of the Federal

64
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.480
Reserve is a cornerstone of our modern
financial system, and undermining it could have

65
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:53.879
serious consequences. As one economist put
it, if Trump lets inflation rip,

66
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:59.240
it is likely to be his own
supporters that will be most hurt. Oh,

67
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.399
how the tables have turned. It
seems like former President Donald Trump has

68
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:06.839
had a change of heart about his
new BFF independent presidential candidate, Robert F.

69
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:12.560
Kennedy Junior. After weeks of singing
Kennedy's praises and touting him as a

70
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.480
great service to America, Trump has
suddenly decided that rfk Junior is nothing more

71
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:21.240
than a Democrat plant designed to help
Crooked Joe Biden win reelection. In a

72
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:26.319
series of posts on his beloved truth
social platform, Trump went on a tirade

73
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.519
against Kennedy, suggesting that he's a
radical left liberal who's been put in place

74
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.600
to sabotage the MAGA movement, because
apparently, in Trump's world, anyone who

75
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:40.360
doesn't pledge their undying loyalty to him
is automatically a secret agent for the Democrats.

76
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.360
But wait, it gets better.
Trump even took a swipe at Kennedy's

77
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.839
running mate, Nicole Shanahan, claiming
that she's not a serious candidate. I

78
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:53.079
guess in Trump's mind, the only
serious candidates are the ones who agree with

79
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:57.199
everything he says and do whatever he
tells them to do. Now, let's

80
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.399
take a trip down memory lane,
shall we. Just last month, Trump

81
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.920
was singing a very different tune about
RFK Junior. He was practically giddy at

82
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:10.319
the thought of Kennedy's siphoning votes away
from Biden, calling his campaign great for

83
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.920
MAGA and a great service to America. But now that recent polls are showing

84
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.000
that Kennedy's campaign might actually hurt Trump's
chances of returning to the White House,

85
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:24.199
suddenly he's public enemy number one.
It's almost like Trump's opinions change with the

86
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.040
wind, or more accurately, with
whatever he thinks will benefit him the most

87
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.079
at any given moment. One minute, Kennedy is a hero for taking on

88
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:35.920
the crooked Joe Biden machine. The
next he's a radical leftist plant designed to

89
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:41.720
destroy the MAGA movement from within.
But here's the real kicker. Trump actually

90
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:46.000
suggested that he would take Biden over
Kennedy. That's right, the man who

91
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.920
has spent the last four years railing
against Sleepy Joe and calling him the worst

92
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.720
president in the history of the United
States is now saying he'd rather have him

93
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:58.600
in the White House than RFK Junior. It's like we've entered some bizarre alternate

94
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.720
universe where up is down, left
is right, and Donald Trump is suddenly

95
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:06.319
the voice of reason. So what's
the moral of this story? Well,

96
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:11.160
it's pretty simple, really. In
the world of Donald Trump, loyalty is

97
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.600
a one way street. You're either
with him one hundred percent or you're against

98
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.360
him. And if you're against him, you'd better watch out because he'll come

99
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:21.120
after you with all the subtlety of
a bulldozer in a china shop. But

100
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:25.279
hey, at least we can all
take comfort in the fact that the twenty

101
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:30.040
twenty four presidential race is shaping up
to be just as ridiculous and unpredictable as

102
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:34.360
ever, with Trump flip flopping on
his opinions faster than a fish out of

103
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:40.680
water and Kennedy throwing a wrench into
everyone's carefully laid plans. It's anyone's guest

104
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:44.199
who will come out on top,
but one thing's for sure. It's going

105
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.639
to be one hell of a ride. And that's good for me because I
