0:00.0	Donald Trump is losing it as he has returned to Washington, D.C. and a general strike has been initiated in the great state of Minnesota, and a general strike is spreading across the United States. We haven't seen a general strike of this scale for about 70 years or so. And the hope is that this becomes
0:24.5	the biggest general strike in the history of the United States in solidarity with the pro-democracy
0:32.8	forces who want to stop this fascism, these ICE and Border Patrol, Gestapo invasion, these Trump
0:40.5	attacks on the workers. And so whether you're looking right now in Minneapolis and St. Paul,
0:46.9	by the way, where it's like negative 16 degrees Fahrenheit and the people are out there protesting
0:52.4	the ICE regime, calling in sick, engaging in this

1:46.7	wheel where you're going to take our money, what, put it in Katari bank accounts to build yourself
1:52.6	golden arches and golden ballrooms. I mean, look what Donald Trump was posting this morning. More
1:59.6	photos of golden arches that he wants to build in Washington, D.C.
2:04.0	While he rips away the health care of tens of millions of Americans, not extending the Affordable Care Act subsidies, continuing to cover up a child sex trafficking ring as he continues to make it more difficult for people to afford their
2:20.3	rent or purchase a home. This is what he's posting. Renderings of golden arches with AI
