4:37Now PlayingDonald Trump got in touch with his inner streamer on Monday when he gave a livestreamed speech to his supporters that was riddled with complete lies and incoherent messages. At one point, Trump doubled down on his claims from last week that migrants who speak unknown languages were coming into this country, with Trump claiming that the languages were "from Mars." And he also told people that he doesn't need their votes, which could haunt him in the general election. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this absurdity.

Earlier this week, prior to Super Tuesday, Donald Trump decided to embrace his inner streamer. And he actually did a livestream. He wasn't necessarily taking questions from, you know, the comment section, but Donald Trump did a livestream address to his supporters that was, of course, filled with falsehoods and just some of the most incoherent things you've ever heard. One of the falsehoods, uh, falsehoods, excuse me, that he said during this live stream was actually pointed out by the, uh, Biden Harris, uh, campaign on Twitter, where Trump said, quote, his economy was the greatest in the history of the world. The economy under Donald Trump, the former president claimed was the greatest in the history of the world, not just the United States folks, but there was never an economy in existence anywhere on this planet that did better than the US economy from January 6th, 2021, or excuse me, January 6th, 2017 to January 6th, uh, uh, uh, 2021, January 20th.
I'm sorry, I'm getting my dates screwed up. But anyway, sometimes it happens January 6th, obviously on my mind at the moment. But Trump claimed his economy was the best in the world, really. I mean, the Biden Harris HQ did fact check it, and they said Trump left office with the worst jobs record since the Great Depression. And President Biden has since presided over historic economic growth. And yeah, Donald Trump loves to talk about how great the economy was under his watch, and he forgets that in the last year of his administration at the height of the Covid Pandemic, we couldn't buy toilet paper. We couldn't buy paper towels. You couldn't buy any paper goods really, uh, soup was sold out at the grocery stores. The supply chain issues that, of course Republicans loved to blame on President Biden occurred during Trump's tenure. They started under him like that was a Trump issue, but everybody wants to blame Biden for it because we have such bad short-term memory here in the United States.
But in addition to the falsehoods, he also said some things that were just flat out weird. Like at one point he mentioned that people are coming into this country. A comment he had started making last week in his trip to the border, where he said, of course, last week, that people were coming across the border speaking languages that nobody knows of. So he decided to continue that talking point during his live stream where he said that their languages from Mars, the man that used to be the president of the United States that had the nuclear codes, could order a nuclear strike at any second, says that people are coming across our border and speaking languages from Mars. I don't even need to add a comment to that because that's insane. If you heard somebody on the street
