Donald Trump left Washington to go play golf in Ireland this weekend. And now, his trip has generated more actual news than most full presidential visits, as he has been met with mass protests across Ireland. Meanwhile, back home, Jimmy Kimmel just quietly outrated Trump's own convention. The Houthis just pulled off one of the most stunning military advances of this entire war in Iran. And there's a whole lot more happening right now. If you can, as always, hit that subscribe button for the price of a coffee or supporting independent journalism. Like, comment, share. We have the major Trump investigation coming out in just one week, and I need your support to make it happen. See, Donald Trump today landed in Ireland for his first visit to the country since 2019. And it's already been one of the more chaotic foreign trips of the second term. This was supposed to be a golf weekend. He owns a course in the tiny village of Dunberg. And he flew over largely to watch the final round of the Irish open there. But the moment he touched down, the protests began.

Thousands of Irish residents have taken to the streets today to display their disapproval of the president of the United States. And as he was flying in, this is what he saw. On the top is an F Trump engraved grass field. That was on the way into the airport where Donald Trump landed this morning. On the bottom, no kings, Gaza, Iran, ICE is on Dublin Bay in Dublin, Ireland. Also, the president has seen this. Crowds have taken over the streets of Dublin today to voice their disapproval of the president. And while there are reports that he is not too happy, he himself is trying to claim he has not seen the protests, but he has. And he is not super excited about it. Because a recent poll found 69% of the Irish public does not actually support this visit. A coalition of political parties and advocacy groups organized demonstrations under the banner, no welcome for Mr. Trump, as they marched towards the Irish Parliament within hours of his arrival. One community worker named Sarah Clancy told reporters that she had never had so much

reason to protest pointing for his support for Israel in Gaza, the war with Iran, and what the war has done to energy prices back home in Ireland. Ireland ended up deploying roughly 4,000 security personnel, including 1,000 US secret service agents, Sniper is an anti-drone technology, all at a reported cost of 20 million euros to Irish taxpayers, just to get one American president through a Gulf tournament. And Trump's response to all of this, he basically pretended like it wasn't happening, sitting next to the Irish Prime Minister, a reporter asked him about the protests, and Trump said, I didn't know there was a protest, I haven't seen any of the protests, it's a friendly one, let's say. He then turned around and told business leaders that Ireland had fleeced the United States, referring to decades of American companies moving jobs and taxpayer dollars over to Ireland. His exact words were quote, you fleeced us, but that's okay. Not exactly the kind of thing you say about a country you're currently a guest in, but then there was a part of the trip that nobody saw coming, sitting next to the Irish Prime Minister, Trump said he would love to see a unified Ireland, Northern Ireland,

unify with the Republic of Ireland, calling it something that is quote, going to happen eventually, and a very good thing. Take a listen. He said he tried to, but I won't tell you, I'd love to see a unified. I have friends on both sides, great people. They're Irish people, how can they be bad, right? I'd love to see a unified. I think it would be great. A great feather in everybody's cap, if that happened. It's going to happen eventually. Mr. Biden, you know why? The way I look at it's going to happen eventually, what happened now, we're talking about it, and you get the right man over here to get a movement, but yeah, I'd love to think it would be a fantastic thing. Now, the UK, well, I'm something we say, but I'll be a soon, but I think it would be a great thing. I mean, how can it be bad?

But this is a very politically sensitive issue. You see, right now, after decades of violence in the Good Friday agreement, it's not really Trump's to weigh in on. The British government just weeks earlier said a referendum on the North status was quote, completely off the table. Unionist leader Gavin Robinson fired back immediately saying Northern Ireland's constitutional future will be decided by the people of Northern Ireland, not by commentary in London, Dublin, or Washington. Trump, as usual, kind of just says whatever comes to mind. And now, an entire country's diplomats have to go clean it up. While Trump was busy insisting his midterm convention was some kind of massive rating success, the numbers are now telling a very different story. Jimmy Kimmel's interview with Texas Senate Canada, James Talleriko, has pulled in more than 5.8 million views on YouTube. Trump's own two-hour convention speech drew about 2.5 million viewers on Fox News, and that was the only major network that even carried the whole thing. CNN only had 441,000 viewers watching the same speech, added every single number from the convention, and it still doesn't beat what Kimmel did on its own. And remember, Trump posted on

truth social claiming that his overall numbers completely beat the NFL, but the math just does not matter. Here's the part that should actually concern people, though. Kimmel didn't even air that interview on television. He posted a trade to YouTube because in his words, the FCC had threatened me, threatened my show, threatened our network, over so-called equal time rules. FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez called this out directly saying Jimmy Kimmel's decision to interview a Senate candidate off the air shows just how far this administration's campaign of censorship and control has gone. She said plainly that no-host or network should have to weigh federal retaliation before booking a guest. It's not a small thing. It's a sitting commissioner telling you the government is pressuring broadcasters. And on top of all that, Kimmel spent his monologue picking apart the actual footage from Dallas Convention, where cameras caught visibly empty seats while Trump insisted that the place was completely packed. I do want to touch on something very serious, which is what's happening in the Middle East. The Houthis and Yemen have pulled off one of the fastest military

advances of this entire war. And the finger pointing between Washington and Rida and Riyadh, afterwards has been brutal. Riyadh is Saudi Arabia. In about 36 hours, Houthi fighters over ran the port city of Moka and seized paramiland despite Yemeni officials repeatedly warning US central command that things were turning critical. One regional source described it to CNN as a disaster made in DC and Riyadh and did not hold back calling it a Saudi-American F-UP of effort proportions. It was reported the full day with zero Saudi air support despite minute by minute updates on the ground. And part of the breakdown trace is back to the UAE pulling its remaining forces out of Yemen back in January at the request of Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia never actually filling that gap. On top of it all, Yemeni army rosters turned out to be full of what one source calls post ghost names, meaning the actual fighting force was only about 20% of what was on paper. The Saudis threw the Yemenis under the bus. And where was Trump in all this? Down in Dublin, telling reporters that the Houthis called us and they don't actually want to fight with us.

We've had discussions. The Houthis called us and they don't want to fight with us. They let us know. They don't want to fight with us. They don't want me to go after them. They don't want us to go after them. But they've called and they've talked to us and they don't want us to. They would much prefer not having us involved. And they're letting most ships go through. This is one country that they're not doing after you. And we'll get that straight down. So that's where he's at. Meanwhile, at the Brick Summit in New Delhi, China, Russia, Iran, India all managed to agree on a joint statement calling for maximum restraint in the region, which is notable because their foreign ministers couldn't even agree on a statement back in May. So that's everything you need to know right now. As always, I have a full breakdown every single day, no matter what, even on a Saturday. Make sure you subscribe, support this work. Independent journalism is the future is the present. Like, comment, share, and I'll see you soon.
