Trump's Sunday Just Got Even Uglier...
Summary
The episode critiques Donald Trump’s attendance at a golf event amid record-high gas prices and his misleading claims about the economy and the Strait of Hormuz. It covers the ongoing conflict with Iran, including the capture of a US drone, Iranian diplomatic statements, and the US administration’s contradictory narratives regarding trade and military strikes. The hosts also discuss the collapse of the Romanian government following US diplomatic interference, the negative impact of tariffs on American farmers, and a suspected bomb plot at a UK air base used for strikes on Iran.
