- 8 minutes
You're about to see something
you will not believe.
And this is crazily,
a very real product for sale.
Take a look.
A message from the 45th president
of the United Ponds of America.
Let's make fishing great again. Okay.
He's here. Everyone's favorite fish.
[00:00:17]
- Trumpy trout.
- No one has ever seen a fish like me.
Trumpy trout is an animatronic
talking fish with a big personality.
- I am the.
- Hugely biggest fish in the.
Pond.
Watch his fins flap
and his large mouth move as he makes
[00:00:34]
speech after speech in high fidelity.
Sounds like a bad fish.
Crazy fish,
criminal fish and druggie fish.
But some bass are good fish
and I only love some of them.
Mount him to your wall
or use the built in stand
to display him proudly on your desk.
[00:00:50]
Now you'll never miss
a Trumpy Trout rally.
I'm building a new pond
and the bass will pay.
For it.
This is a real product
being advertised on Newsmax.
The wildest part is I'm sure
it's going to sell so much.
[00:01:08]
And to be honest, I kind of want one.
I kind of want one
because I think this is the most accurate
depiction of Trump I've seen.
I think it captures his essence best.
And before we go to our panel
for some commentary,
I just need you to see a little bit more
of this mind bogglingly strange ad with
[00:01:25]
two very strange elements they add in.
- This next part, set him to.
- Motion, activated to surprise his fans.
I mean fans.
My fans are big. I have the biggest fans.
No fish have fins like me or turn him on.
- And let his inspiring words delight the.
- Crowd.
[00:01:42]
All the fish love Trumpy.
They just love me.
Catch Trumpy trout
for yourself or someone you love.
Oh they can't try, but they can't.
They just can't.

Trumpy trout for just 59.99.

great Again certificate of authenticity.
[00:02:01]

stand and Trumpy trout jingle free.
- He is the greatest trout.
- Without a doubt.
Okay, maybe for strange things
there one the price $59.
[00:02:17]
Unbelievable.
Two, it has a motion activated mode.
People are going to have heart attacks and
die with the last thing they see in their
life being a trump trout yelling at them.
Third,
it needs a certificate of authenticity.
There's not going to be knockoffs
of this product if you have one,
[00:02:34]
you know it's the authentic one.
And lastly, as if it didn't kiss
ass enough towards Trump,
it has to have a song that sings
about how great the Trump trout is.
My mind is blown.
And yet really, I really do want one.
[00:02:49]
There's no weirder thing to display
outside your house for Halloween,
which is coming up.
Mondale, you look stunned,
so please chime in.
No. No way.
This is a real this this is
this is from onion comm cut.
This ain't no way in hell
the guy has fins.
[00:03:07]
That looks like Trump hands.
I. Am. I think I want one of these fish.
I think I'm going to go order one too.
I hate this is this is
this is where we are with our politics.
The 45th time.
That's what they said.
This is a message from the 45th time.
[00:03:24]
Like, are we serious?
President of the United States has a fish
that talks and sings about how big he is.
Bass, bass.
This is funny for all the wrong reasons.
I'm actually sad right now.
[00:03:39]
I this is disgusting.
We have presidents that we were
talking about Jimmy Carter earlier.
Jimmy Carter by far has
to be the best example
of what an American president should be.
Leave office, go back home,
never become super rich,
and just work and continue to serve.
[00:03:57]
Effortless and without any scandal.
Donald Trump is on the opposite end
of that spectrum.
He is a fish that should be in a pond,
without any access to Twitter,
truth, internet or people.
I'm disgusted at this point, Story.
[00:04:13]
I also, sadly, this is the most
serious I've ever taken Trump.
I listened to this fish more than I would
any actual Trump speech.
I don't know what that says,
but, this fish has got gravitas, Jordan.
[00:04:28]
I just never understood
the allure for anybody, of, like, the
singing fish wall toys in general, like
the big mouth Billy Bass being a huge,
like, widely selling product seemingly
everywhere for a couple of years,
[00:04:44]
just never registered with me.
I never got the allure.
Kind of a fishing joke there, I guess.
But it was,
it was just such a weird thing.
And now they're doing it again.
Like, I hope this isn't.
[00:04:59]
I hope this doesn't sell.
Well, also, just the price tag,
the sticker shock on this thing
with shipping and handling, it's $70.
And maybe looking at it now, I mean,
okay, well, there is a built in stand
and you do get the exclusive premium
jingle for being realistic.
[00:05:18]
This probably costs five bucks per unit,
maybe ten bucks to make.
That is just ridiculous.
It's just a cheap, cheap,
plastic cheap speaker.
And they're just ripping off these rubes.
[00:05:33]
I mean, to tie it back
to the beginning of the show.
Him just siphoning money
from his campaign into his businesses.
And while this isn't him, it's just these
people just keep falling for these scams.
Some of them are just pure suckers.
But also, there's an element,
an element of me that feels bad
[00:05:50]
for some of these people.
- No. Are you sure it's not him?
- Yeah.
I don't know who's behind it,
but I think Jordan's wrong.
In this instance, at $60 plus shipping
and handling, this is a bargain.
I think Jordan's jealous.
He doesn't have his own
fish mounted face available for sale.
[00:06:08]
It says a bunch of different stuff.
It said 1 or 2 things.
Yeah, if it said 1 or 2 things.
Jordan, I get it.
Maybe it's a rip off,
but it says lots of things.
It has the exclusive jingle
that you did remind.
- Me those things.
- Yes.
And you're forgetting
the certificate of authenticity.
So if anybody questions,
if it's the real thing, you have
[00:06:25]
the certificate you can pull out in case
of emergency where you have to prove it.
I just this for sure will sell a lot.
I am just looking forward to then when
the Trump fish starts playing the other
preloaded stuff that it unlocks after
several months that then the fish start
selling the Trump Trout Golden Sneakers
[00:06:45]
and the Trump Trout branded Bible.
I think those will sell out
in short order as they should,
because if you're a Trump trout follower,
you need the Word of God being delivered
to you through the mouth of a fish.
I think that goes without saying.
I don't even know why I had to say it.
[00:07:01]
- Agree or disagree fellas.
- I agree 100%.
Yeah, and I now I hear you.
In retrospect, I was wrong.
I wanted to just take accountability here.
The certificate of authenticity I think
proves this is an appreciating asset.
Correct. Ten, 20, 30 years down the line.
[00:07:17]
- You can retire on this.
- Correct?
- It takes a.
- Big fish to admit when he's pond.
And I really appreciate
that you did that, Jordan.
And I'm glad, Mondale,
that you're on board as well.
I will be buying both of you Trump fish
to mount on your wall, or again, to put
[00:07:34]
just on your countertop, because it does
include the premium upgrade of the stand.
- Yeah.
- Just keep just keep mine for me.
Keep mine for me.
- Buy it, but keep it at your place.
- I'm sorry you're breaking up.
And you said you want two.
I'll get you two.
No problem.
Happy to make your dreams
come true with this Trump fish.
[00:07:52]
The greatest fish in the pond.
We're going to build a bass and make it.
Whatever. I'm very excited.
- My dreams have been realized.
- Thanks for watching The Young Turks.
