So, like, Trump was asked if he has to ‘uphold the Constitution,’ and he was all like, ‘I don’t know.’ Not really sure why this matters, but here we are. President Trump is out here talking about how it might not even be possible to reach a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. Like, does he even know what he’s doing? Then he starts talking about potential successors like Rubio and Vance, like who even are they?
And get this, Trump says people ‘absolutely’ have the right to criticize him without fear of retribution. Wow, what a concept. He even mentioned calling Bezos if he disagrees with him, like why is that even news? Then he goes on about building a ballroom in the White House and how rising prices for strollers and tires are ‘peanuts’ compared to energy prices dropping. I mean, does anyone really care about this stuff?
Oh, and Trump is all like, ‘I’ll be a two-term president,’ downplaying any talk of a third term. Like, okay dude, calm down. He also downplays recession fears, saying the U.S. will be ‘OK’ in the long term. Sure, whatever you say, Trump. Then there’s this whole thing about cutting federal funding to PBS and proposed NIH cuts. Like, what’s even going on in politics these days?
And let’s not forget about Waltz’s confirmation hearing for a UN post being ‘dominated’ by some scandal. And the #2 House Democrat is all about countering Trump, not waiting until November. Children’s toys might cost a couple of bucks more as the U.S. economy shrinks, but is that really a big deal? Steve Kornacki looks at Trump’s polling against past presidents and how Gen Z is ‘more hostile’ to him. So what?
If Trump keeps breaking the law, ‘we’ll see him in court,’ says the California AG. House Republicans are clashing over Medicaid cuts to push Trump’s agenda. Like, is anyone surprised by this? Overall, it seems like Trump is just doing his thing, for better or for worse. And that’s the news for today, folks. Stay tuned for more updates on this never-ending saga.
