'The golden Don’: The Weeknight hosts rip Trump’s giant gold statue
MS NOW
0:01 his Rose GardeClub.
0:03 This is a very serious sentence.
0:04 This is where he pretends the White House is one of his hotel properties.
0:08 The president spent several minutes ranting and rambling
0:12 to his guests all about his vanity.
0:18 DEMOCRATS, AND IT'S A LITTLE HEAT FROM MY WIFE,
0:22 SHE SAID DARLING, WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY GRASS?
0:25 I SAID PEOPLE GOT TIRED OF Standing in mud,
0:28 we're going to get a gorgeous stone, which we did.
0:31 And we're going to put this up here.
0:32 I don't know if you got this here.
0:34 It's just completed with the granite, the black granite.
0:37 We'll be opening up the reflective pond.
0:39 It's called the Reflective Pond.
0:40 It's going to be beautiful beautiful color i picked american flag see the blue
0:44 i picked american flag it was called
0:47 american flag blue we're building a ballroom
0:49 in the back which will be i think the most beautiful ballroom anywhere
0:53 in the world you'll never see anything
0:56 like it as a native Washingtonian, I'm sorry.
1:00 Reflective pond?
1:02 What planet are you YOU DON'T KNOW THE REFLECTIVE POND?
1:11 SERIOUSLY?
1:11 REFLECTION POOL, BABY BOY.
1:14 COME ON.
1:14 WAKE UP.
1:15 I JUST, I'M SORRY, BUT THIS is just ridiculous.
1:18 Like, I just...
1:19 I gotta pick something.
1:21 No, you're right.
1:21 He should know what it's called.
1:23 I think you're right.
1:24 What he's doing at the White House is ridiculous.
1:26 It is.
1:27 We're going to continue to show it to you because it's also tone deaf.
1:30 Like, these are the things when the president has
1:32 the opportunity to speak extemporaneously about what is on his mind.
1:36 It is the paint that he apparently had time to hand select,
1:41 to paint the reflecting pool and not the beef is up 15,
1:48 16%, not the gas prices, not the war in Iran.
1:52 Like he's rambling about random things when he's not rambling.
1:55 He is closing his eyes for 10 seconds at 12 .45 p .m.
1:59 today during the maternal health meeting.
2:01 Don't take my word for it.
2:02 There's a video.
2:02 They'll pull it back up at some point.
2:04 Well, and don't forget that he's busy slapping his name on everything,
2:06 a banner outside of DOJ, a banner outside of USDA,
2:09 the 2026 National Parks Pass, an America 250 commemorative coin.
2:14 But Michael, really, it's the golden dawn in Doral, Florida that gets my goat.
2:23 yeah that little ditty do they have a close-up
2:25 because it looks quite thinner than the actual president
2:28 so he had a whole bunch of preachers i
2:30 guess down there to kind of bless this This thing,
2:33 this that this thing, this thing,
2:36 oh my goodness is that from when he was that's the assassination attempt?
2:41 Yes.
2:42 Oh my goodness.
2:43 That's from Butler.
2:44 So you know it says the whatever and and but here's the part
2:48 that that I find the most offensive about all of it is
2:52 that you had these preachers there and and they had to make
2:55 it very clear that they they weren't here you know to you know
2:59 to you know honor the fatted calf or to or to give
3:03 homage to uh you know the idols of donald trump but i just
3:07 want to put on the screen for the preachers out there who
3:10 did go down and bless this thing and be a part of this.
3:13 One Corinthians 10, 14, and for Donald Trump,
3:16 that's the other Corinthian you don't know about.
3:20 Therefore, my dear friends, flee from IT CAN'T GET ANY SIMPLER THAN THAT.
3:27 YOU'RE STANDING THERE PRAISING A GOLDEN STATUE.
3:33 THINK ABOUT IT.
3:34 THERE ARE LOTS OF PASSAGES in the Bible that a lot of pastors say that they
3:39 listen and read to, read and preach
3:40 from that talk about the dangers of gold and idols.
3:45 But again, these are the things the president is focused on.
3:49 I just don't take our word for it.
3:51 I just want the American people to really sit back and think that every,
3:55 and look at the facts,
3:56 every single time the president has the opportunity to speak extemporaneously,
4:00 to talk about what's important to him, to give you a window into his psyche.
4:04 He is talking about shoes, which are questionable, and then his little projects.
4:11 That's what he's focused on.
4:13 Did the president get elected to rebuild I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
4:18 WE HAVE THE CLOSED-EYED VIDEO.
4:19 PUT IT UP FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
4:21 HE'S EITHER DOING THIS OR HE IS SLEEP OR JUST EYES CLOSED, OKAY?
4:24 BECAUSE SANDERS SAYS I CAN'T SAY HE WAS SLEEP BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW.
4:26 I WASN'T IN THE ROOM.
4:28 BUT IF JOE BIDEN FELL ASLEEP OR CLOSE HIS EYES,
4:31 WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT IT FOR MONTHS ON END.
