Trump Just RUINED Meliana’s WEDNESDAY!

Ajouté : 2026-05-10

[00:00:00]Oh, man, do we seriously have to do this? I'm afraid it's going to give people stupid.

[00:00:06]Okay, fine.

[00:00:08]Hello, beautiful viewers. I hope you have your anti-stupid medications on hand. Donald Trump just made a stunning admission about the hidden military costs of the war in Iran, and in some, not only is he spreading stupid faster than he spread COVID, he's also wasting your tax dollars. What about those? All the remote-throwing details coming up next here on the David Redditch show.

[00:00:33]>> [music] >> Welcome to the show, beautiful viewers.

[00:00:42]I am your host, as ever, encouraging you to subscribe to our channel now. You will stay up to date on all stories in American politics, and help us get the word out to others. But, we have a lot to unpack in this story, so let's just get into it, shall we?

[00:00:57]With the Iran war dragging on past 60 days, and new reports emerging that Iran has actually done considerably more damage to American targets than previously known, see our other videos for more on that, Americans have questions about how things are being run, to say the least. Not to mention, the cost of the war remains a constant point of contention. We have not yet received from the Pentagon the costs of the war. Do you have either A, a cost estimate coming to us anytime soon, or B, a specific supplemental request? So, approximately at this day, we're spending about $25 billion on Operation Epic Fury. Um most of that is in munitions. There's part of that that's obviously O&M and equipment replacement.

[00:01:39]We will formulate a supplemental through the White House that will come to Congress once we have a full assessment of the cost of the conflict.

[00:01:45]>> Jared So, you're saying the full cost at this point is 25 billion?

[00:01:49]Yeah, that's our estimate for the cost.

[00:01:50]>> Okay. Interesting, cuz we I'm glad you answered that question, cuz we've been asking for a hell of a long time, and no one's given us the number.

[00:01:56]I want to go to Zachary Cohen to just get your thoughts on what we've heard so far. Yeah, well, the big thing I think we've heard so far is $25 billion.

[00:02:04]That's how much the war with Iran has cost so far and really there's a concern among lawmakers that you talk to both privately and what we've heard publicly that there's really no clear off-ramp, no into the war inside at this moment.

[00:02:16]>> What's this have to do with Trump spreading stupid? Hang on, we're getting there. Needless to say, the longer the war goes on in Iran, the higher the cost both in terms of finances and human toll. Perhaps for that reason, to deflect the ever-louder criticism about this war, President Strokey von Chickenhawk hosted a special ceremony for military moms at the White House earlier today. And for some reason he brought along Melania. He probably lured her there saying she could perform her cover of Don't Cry for Me, Mar-a-Lago.

[00:02:49]But already I'm getting off topic.

[00:02:51]Melania gave remarks lauding her husband's empathy and that did not sit well with the crowd.

[00:02:58]Most know my husband as the strong commander-in-chief, but his empathy transcends the role and shape a caring leader >> [laughter] >> who constantly remembers each and every American soldier is someone's child.

[00:03:19]Did you catch the giggles there? Donald Trump's level of empathy makes Hannibal Lecter look like Mr. Rogers. And even in the presence of President Taco, people couldn't hide their feelings, which makes what happened next even more baffling. Trump apparently, to offer his version of some kind of empathy, went off into one of his incoherent screeds where he actually happened to reveal that he's using the military to correct the spelling of his tweets. Seriously.

[00:03:49]Check this out. I love the name Melody because for a long time, you know, they have spell correct and word correct and these crazy machines that we use to put out truths or they used to be called tweets and every time I wrote Melania, it would correct to Melody.

[00:04:10]So, I do think and I work very fast.

[00:04:13]It's very fast.

[00:04:15]And I talk about and I say, "And Melania is fantastic." And "Happy Mother's Day, Melania. Our great first lady, Melania." But it would spell correct and and word correct to Melody.

[00:04:28]And sometimes I wouldn't proofread it and I'd say, "Hmm." And I would [snorts] get just absolutely decimated. These people would decimate.

[00:04:36]They said, "He didn't know the name of his wife. He keeps calling her." And I said, "What the hell is wrong with this machine?" I didn't know about that little feature. But I got that corrected eventually. You know who corrected the military? I said, "Come here. You got to correct this. You're killing me."

[00:04:51]I took more abuse. She's been called Melody a lot. Anyways, I had to explain it to you this way. I stood up here to explain it to you.

[00:05:01]I apologize. Okay. So, first of all, when will Melania and all the other barnacles on Trump's micro dinghy realize that someone has blown his pilot light out? He is not okay. And I have no idea what that digression was even supposed to be about. But more importantly, my sexy Americans, how do you feel about your tax dollars going to fix spelling? Is this how we want our military implemented? And more importantly, with this war costing well over 25 billion dollars, don't tell us that we can't afford health care in this country. Don't tell us we can't afford to upgrade our infrastructure or subsidize energy costs or education. In fact, if someone had spent that kind of money on education, Trump might know how to spell or at least fix his own damn autocorrect.

[00:05:53]Actually, on that last point, probably not.

[00:05:56]So, I encourage you all now to wet home to take your anti-stupid medication, read a book, do a crossword or a Sudoku, and as ever, wash it all down with a healthy dose of the David Pakman Show.

[00:06:09]It's good for what ails you.

[00:06:11]I'm David Pakman.
