1
Is there anything that Donald Trump can't ruin by attaching his face to it?
2
Find out in this week's episode of "Donald Trump is Making
3
the World Worse." I think you can guess what the answer to this original question is going to be.
4
Of course, Donald Trump can make something worse just, just by attaching his face and his name to it.
5
And it's funny
6
because it seems like the thing Donald Trump loves to do the most is attach his name and face to things.
7
so bad, that name is so
8
poisonous that face is so droopy from his last stroke
9
and his dementia and his poor eating habits that he is even able to To shut down an airport.
10
Yes, all hell has broken loose with air travel
11
and it is a different reason from previously in this horribly dangerous Trump administration.
12
We are going to get into it all.
13
Why people are pissed, why everyone hates Trump, why it's really fucking funny.
14
We're going to get into it, but it does start with the context of the airport that Donald Trump is causing problems with.
15
And you won't be surprised to hear this, it's one, that he used your money to put his name on.
16
Fresh off the NATO summit this week, Donald Trump has plunged America back into a war with Iran.
17
Gas prices are once again on the rise.
18
Inflation is still way too high.
19
Oh, and today, home prices in the United States hit an all -time high.
20
So that's a lot going on.
21
Don't worry everyone, because the Trump administration and his crack economic team are on the case.
22
They're hard at work, clearly.
23
In fact, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson rushed back from the NATO summit, flew directly to Tennessee to handle one of those top priorities in this country.
24
We gather along one of the great highways that binds our nation from coast to coast.
25
Now, above the waters of Lake Douglas, the name of the president who puts the American people first.
26
There is no one, no one more deserving of it, than Donald J.
27
Trump.
28
from-- this day forward Every driver that encounters this bridge will see that it bears his name.
29
- Yep, that was Treasury Secretary Scott Buston today, dedicating a bridge in Tennessee to his boss, Donald Trump.
30
And honestly, even calling it a bridge is kind of generous for
31
that humble stretch of infrastructure you see there right on your screen.
32
But those kind of ego -stroking tributes really do seem to be the number one priority for Trump
33
and his allies these days.
34
Their focus seems to be slapping his name on everything they can get their hands on.
35
And that little bridge in Tennessee wasn't the only thing that got branded with the Trump name today,
36
because today the name of the Palm Beach Airport was officially changed to the President Donald J.
37
Trump International Airport.
38
Now, Typically, lawmakers wait until a president is out of office before dedicating an airport to them.
39
There are other presidents who have airports dedicated to them.
40
But I guess giving Trump his own special airport was a priority in making him feel like a special boy
41
while he's in office.
42
It's not really a surprise, though, that some passengers, well, or less than thrilled.
43
Thank you.
44
I think it's patently absurd
45
that we're spending taxpayer money to rename an airport after a criminal that's sitting in the White House.
46
I resent that we have to have every institution in this country being named after Donald Trump.
47
I think it's ridiculous.
48
I think the efforts and the funds are better spent helping people than glorifying the president.
49
a lot of other bad things.
50
I do not like it at all.
51
And a lot of other bad things.
52
I love that part.
53
Now, despite all of the crises facing this country, many of them Trump's own making, he is the president after all.
54
He's made it clear that the thing he cares about most are his own vanity projects.
55
putting his name on buildings building himself a new ballroom spending all his time
56
and your money on gaudy overpriced
57
and unnecessary beautification projects in washington dc no detail is too small okay
58
so um that was pretty stupid
59
that was pretty dumb he knows people can't actually i'm going to take
60
that back he doesn't know that people can't eat right now
61
that they can't buy homes that they can't get gas he doesn't care And that's the whole point, right?
62
That is the whole point that he doesn't care.
63
Donald Trump hates his supporters more than anyone else.
64
Donald Trump might hate his supporters more than you and I do.
65
Like, I hate them.
66
They have ruined this country.
67
But Donald Trump steals from them.
68
Donald Trump pushes them into poverty.
69
Donald Trump closes down their hospital, takes away their SNAP benefits.
70
Donald Trump sends them out to the great American state fair to die in the heat.
71
Donald Trump really hates his supporters the state.
72
And people really hate Donald Trump right now,
73
so much so that just putting his name Putting his name while he's still alive and still in office,
74
which is just the display of narcissism that we've come to expect from this man.
75
But putting his name on the airport has caused...
76
So many problems that this story is now getting national attention.
77
I want to get into it all.
78
I want to make fun of Trump after.
79
I hope you stick around for that.
80
But let's talk about this nonsense.
81
Airline reacts to passenger boycott of Trump Airport.
82
The airline has an update for flyers who'd rather steer clear of President Donald J.
83
Trump International Airport.
84
I don't think anyone's going to be calling it that.
85
miracle is reportedly preparing to allow passengers free flight changes if they'd rather not pass through President Donald J.
86
Trump International Airport.
87
You heard that correctly.
88
Donald Trump is so unpopular that a private company, an airline, is giving shit away for free as flights continue to get more expensive.
89
That is wild.
90
The airport formerly known as Palm Beach International Airport, which I'm sure is what people will continue to call it,
91
was officially renamed in honor and dishonor of the 80 -year -old president last week,
92
White House for a second term in January 2025.
93
For travelers who'd prefer to steer clear of the newly rebranded airport,
94
United plans to offer complimentary flight changes to nearby Fort Lauderdale or Miami,
95
according to an internal memo obtained by Live and Let's Fly.
96
The airline would allow eligible passengers to switch airports without paying typical change fees,
97
giving anti -Trump flyers an easy off -ramp.
98
Again, a private company is doing this.
99
That is wild.
100
While airlines don't normally let passengers change destinations for free just because they dislike an airport's name,
101
United Airlines appears to see this renaming as controversial enough to make an exception according to Live and Let's Fly.
102
If a customer does not want to fly to the airport,
103
use your empowerment to offer acceptable The memo circulated to reservation agents reportedly reads,
104
the internal memo gives reservation agents a suggested response.
105
This is happening so much they have a suggested response.
106
This is hysterical that they can send to frustrated passengers.
107
"I understand that you rather not fly to this airport anymore.
108
This is truly hysterical.
109
We can look at a nearby airport like Fort Lauderdale or Miami instead.
110
Is that an acceptable alternative?
111
According to Live and Let's Fly, agents are then instructed to process the change as an even exchange.
112
The Daily Beast has contacted United Airlines and the White House for comment.
113
Since returning to office, Donald Trump has been determined to immortalize himself.
114
Through buildings, institutions, and government symbols, branding everything from federal buildings and monuments to limited -edition passports
115
and even commemorative U .S coins with his name and disgusting likeness.
116
The airport said the rebrand to President Donald J.
117
Trump International Airport came with a $5 .5 million price tag that we are paying for.
118
The move is a tribute to Trump's adopted home state of Florida, home to the president's Mar -a -Lago resort.
119
Since the rebrand, the airport's social media pages have been flooded with negative comments, and many furious flyers have suggested they will boycott the airport altogether.
120
100 ,000 million years.
121
Use this airport ever again.
122
One Instagram commenter wrote last week responding to the pages announcement that a brand transition was in progress.
123
One person wrote flying out of Fort Lauderdale next week.
124
Thanks, while another warned, watch the dip in passenger numbers.
125
Notice obtained complaints directed to the airport's online contact form during
126
the first five days after the rebranding via a Florida Public Records Act request.
127
A recurring theme in the messages was a vow to boycott the airport entirely.
128
Another quipped, hopefully you'll have plenty of airbags to catch the barf from people as they drive up.
129
A woman identifying herself as Dawn asked, How do we continue to get on our knees for such a narcissistic criminal so -called president?
130
President Trump is focused on saving our country, not garnering recognition, the White House spokesperson said in a statement.
131
That is just ridiculous.
132
However, given his vast accomplishments, of which they cannot list, including signing the largest tax cut in history for billionaires,
133
securing the border , restoring peace through strength, we're at war, and more, it is natural that local officials
134
and other great patriots want to recognize the president's incredible work on behalf of the American people.
135
What horseshit.
136
That was a bit of a long read.
137
But my God, the narcissism of this man is truly off the charts.
138
And this is one of the stupidest things that he has ever done.
139
It is also one of the funniest considering how badly, badly, badly it is blown up in his face.
140
I have said this a million times, and maybe I am doing it to cope with myself, or maybe I'm doing it just because I want to,
141
I want to relay it to you.
142
Um, you don't have Trump derangement syndrome.
143
Right?
144
Leaving a nasty comment, as you should, on the Instagram account of this newly renamed airport, does not make you a deranged person.
145
Do you know what makes you a deranged person?
146
Renaming an airport after yourself with five and a half million dollars.
147
of taxpayer money.
148
That is deranged.
149
That is true Trump derangement syndrome.
150
And it is the only kind that we will recognize on this show because it is just bonkers.
151
But this is what Trump's doing.
152
It's also a really clear sign that he doesn't have any faith that Republicans actually like him.
153
Like there is no love in this relationship.
154
It is just based on fear and a cult.
155
Like if Donald Trump truly believed, If he really truly believed that he would be immortalized for his incredible achievements, he would think some Republican
156
President in the future would do it
157
but clearly Donald Trump is hedging his bets and saying either there's never gonna be another Republican president, you know, and inshallah.
158
Or, or any things that like, they'll just hate him as the rest of the country will, because why wouldn't we hate Donald Trump?
159
He's the worst fucking president we've ever had.
160
and he puts his face everywhere and makes us hate him more so A lot to unpack here,
161
but the fact that Donald Trump can literally shut down an airport and allow, or not allow,
162
but force a private company into giving away free flight changes is truly some incredible levels of everybody fucking can't stand you.
163
Like that is historic proportions of everybody hates your guts.
164
And that is just funny.
165
And he deserves to be mocked.
166
He deserves to feel bad.
167
We will call him out every single day on this show.
168
leave a nasty Instagram comment if it'll make you feel better.
169
send a form complaining, do not fly into that airport, Take it as a small win.
170
It's just truly embarrassing.
171
It's embarrassing.
172
He is an 80 -year -old dementia -addled nursing home patient in the White House.
173
with billions of dollars he's stolen from us, and it is still more, more, more.
174
And that is what these people do.
175
Do you know what?
176
One day it's going to come back to get them.
177
One day, people like you and me are going to have a lot more power over this whole thing.
178
And he's going to jail.
179
The idiot kids are going to jail.
180
The cabinet's going to jail.
181
The Republicans who allowed this to happen are going to jail.
182
And you know what?
183
We'll name the jail after you.
184
You can have that, okay?
185
You can have the jail.
186
We'll name the jail.
187
That is a proper...
188
That is a proper honoring of Donald Trump.
189
My God, just what a loser.
190
I just truly don't know what to say.
191
I'm at a loss for words.
192
But we're going to keep on calling him out, even when it's ridiculous.
193
And if you want to support that, as always, you can hit that subscribe button.
194
Leave a like on this video.
195
If you stuck around in the end, drop a blue heart in the comments.
196
Keep on fighting y 'all.
197
Don't let him silence you.
198

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
