There were audible laughs (at Trump) and groans today during Trump’s latest train-wreck of a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi while in the Oval Office. At one point, Trump compared his war in Iran to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, saying: “We wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"
The Japanese Prime Minister rolled her eyes and was visibly shocked by this comment from Trump. Trump continued, alluding to using nuclear weapons and saying to a reporter, “This looks like one of your people right here. Is he good or bad?”
It’s actions like these, including Trump’s vastly unpopular war in Iran (recent polling shows a negative 28 percent approval rating of the war), and skyrocketing gas prices, that are causing a MAGA mutiny within Trump’s base of supporters.
One former supporter, who says she voted for Trump three times, said to NBC News that Trump was a “worthless pile of sh*t,” and that her decision to vote for Trump three times was “My bad. Apparently I’m an idiot.”
Jo and BDD also cover the confirmation hearing of Trump’s newest hack-appointee, Senator Markwayne Mullin, and GOP Senator Rand Paul’s growing rift with MAGA.
All of this and much more, right here on The Siren Network.
