THE UNFILTERED POTUS: Watch The Moment Trump Told Reporters To Ditch The Policy Talk And “Talk Sex”

Not exactly investor-friendly remarks

At the end of his address to the Future Investment Initiative Priority Summit at the Faena Hotel in Miami Beach, Trump opened the floor for questions with a declaration about his openness.

“Unlike other politicians, they would like the questions screened. I don’t ask for a screening of the questions,” he said. “You can ask me anything you want. You can talk sex, whatever the hell you want. I am here for you.”

The room reacted, but the response online was considerably louder.

Earlier in the speech, Trump referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the “Strait of Trump” before correcting himself. “They have to open up the Strait of Trump – I mean Hormuz. Excuse me, I’m so sorry. Such a terrible mistake,” he said.

Beyond that, the speech tried to stay serious.

Trump said the U.S. is “closer than ever to the rise of a Middle East finally free from Iranian terror.” He called Iran’s military “decimated” and claimed the country is “begging to make a deal.”

He also pushed Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords. “It’s time now,” he told the delegation. The kingdom has resisted joining since the agreements were signed in 2020.

Then he turned to domestic politics.

Trump called congressional Democrats “lunatics” for blocking DHS funding for 42 days. He accused them of wanting open borders and no immigration enforcement.

All of this played out during a summit dominated by the war.

Goldman Sachs analysts warned Saudi Arabia’s GDP could shrink by 5% if the conflict stretches into April. Ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has dropped to about one-fifth of normal levels. The energy market, and the investors in the room, are feeling it.

There were also mixed signals from Trump’s own team.

His envoy, Steve Witkoff, said earlier that U.S. and Iranian officials could meet “this week,” adding: “We’re certainly hopeful for it. Ships are passing. That’s a very, very good sign.”

Trump’s tone was different. He described Iran as obliterated while also insisting they want peace, on his terms.

This was his second straight appearance at the Saudi-backed summit.
