🚨 JUST IN: Trump denies video evidence, attacks reporters, and spirals into conspiracy chaos during disastrous press conference ⚡.CT
Donald Trump marched into what was supposed to be a routine White House press conference—and within minutes delivered one of the most unhinged public meltdowns of his presidency. The event was intended to showcase a bailout for American farmers, many of whom are facing financial collapse because of Trump’s own tariff war. Instead, it turned into a chaotic spectacle filled with contradictions, rage, conspiracy theories, and moments so bizarre they left reporters speechless.
It all began when a journalist asked Trump a simple question: Where is the video footage you promised to release from the September 2nd strike on a Venezuelan fishing vessel? Days earlier, Trump publicly said he had “no problem” releasing it. But when confronted with his own words, he snapped—claiming he never said it, calling the reporter “ABC fake news,” and stumbling through an incoherent dodge in which he suddenly deferred everything to his secretary. The meltdown was so immediate and so frantic that it set the tone for the rest of the presser.
Receipts from five days earlier proved the lie. Trump had said he’d release the footage. And yet, confronted with his own statement, he simply denied reality.
From there, the press conference nosedived into pure chaos.
Trump insisted America is not facing an affordability crisis and declared—without a shred of evidence—that “inflation is essentially gone.” He claimed he inherited the highest inflation in history, even though every economic record shows the opposite. He rambled about “normalizing prices,” warned about deflation, and patted himself on the back for solving a problem he actually created. The reporters in the room looked stunned.
Things escalated when a journalist asked about the wave of Republican lawmakers announcing their retirement or refusing to run for reelection. Instead of answering the question, Trump lashed out—accusing the reporter of being “unprepared” for not listing Democratic retirements as well. It was a petty, defensive, and hostile eruption that observers say mirrors behavior often associated with cognitive decline. Even for Trump, the aggression felt off.
And then came the flattery circus.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins took the microphone and delivered a cringe-inducing tribute, calling Trump “the greatest boss in the world.” This, as farmers face bankruptcy because Trump’s tariffs blew up global markets and spiked costs for equipment, fertilizer, and seed. Rollins then thanked Trump for “looking into why things have gotten so expensive,” as if the cause wasn’t standing right next to her.
Moments later, Trump claimed modern lawn mowers require a 185 IQ to operate because of environmental regulations—arguably the strangest statement of the day, and there were many contenders.
Rollins returned to thank Trump for bailing out farmers with a $12 billion package, even as Trump somehow bragged that these funds were only possible because of tariffs—the same tariffs that wrecked the market and forced the bailout in the first place.
Then came the conspiracy bombshell. A far-right “reporter” stepped up and declared that “everyone knows January 6th was a Fed-erection”—a fabricated theory claiming the FBI orchestrated the attack. Instead of shutting down the lie, Trump praised the question as “great” and floated launching his own investigation. The room froze. This was no longer a press conference—it was a broadcast from a parallel universe.
Trump was then grilled about the forced resignation of Alina Habba after repeated judicial disqualifications. He dodged responsibility again, blaming Democrats and a procedural rule rather than the fact that his appointee was objectively unqualified.
The meltdown continued: Trump suggested children are being given “88 vaccines in one big glass,” threatened to eliminate insurance companies in favor of $2,000 checks, bragged that his nonexistent health plan “went viral,” and recounted an exchange in which Xi Jinping questioned whether Trump’s claims about soybeans were “real or just a Trump statement,” seemingly unaware he was being mocked.
The finale? A farmer told a story about his son saying he didn’t want Santa Claus for Christmas—he wanted Donald Trump. It was the perfect, surreal ending to a press conference that felt less like governance and more like an unraveling in real time.
This wasn’t a policy briefing.
It was a live televised breakdown.
