Today on the show, some sad news. We may have seen this administration spend four months bombing, threatening, and negotiating their way to an Iran deal—maybe—that is way weaker than the Obama deal that Trump tore up, which got us into this in the first place. “Premature exaggeration” may be the right term for what’s happening.
Plus, a bizarre string of moments at the G7. Trump wanders off, has to be brought back, seems disconnected from reality during a group photo, delivers rambling comments that left other diplomats scratching their heads.
And we will also look at the growing cracks in the administration’s Iran messaging. Even Trump-friendly voices have started asking good, obvious questions. And JD Vance can’t seem to answer them in anything approximating a coherent way.
Later, Trump’s latest vanity project, the reflecting pool, is turning literally green, an algae-ridden mess.
And JD Vance pounded on live TV by a group of middle-aged women. And it doesn’t go well for JD Vance.
All of that and much more today.
