Trump GLITCHES BADLY as his brain CRUMBLES

At a conference in Miami, Trump appeared confused, forgetting cabinet members’ names and pushing a simplistic anti-drug campaign. He falsely claimed millions of people over 150 are fraudulently receiving Social Security benefits, providing no evidence. Additionally, he mistakenly called Ukraine’s Zelensky a dictator but avoided using the term for Putin.

MORE planes collide, Trump official: "Plane crashes happen"

A series of deadly plane crashes in early 2025 has raised concerns about U.S. air safety. Despite this, the Trump administration is pushing to cut funding for the FAA and air traffic control while blaming Joe Biden. Proper oversight and regulation are essential for safety, but budget cuts put lives at risk. Strengthening aviation agencies is crucial to preventing more tragedies, but Trump is doing the exact opposite.

From yesterday’s show:

Trump adviser MELTS DOWN on live TV, SNAPS at interviewer

Stephen Miller had a meltdown on CNN when Brianna Keilar pressed him on government staffing cuts and oversight. He grew increasingly agitated, struggling to justify the cuts while downplaying their impact. The conversation spiraled into chaos over bureaucratic authority and supposed waste, with Miller unable to calmly articulate his position.

From yesterday’s show:

Meanwhile, Texas is experiencing its worst measles outbreak in decades due to rising vaccine hesitancy. With RFK Jr., a longtime anti-vaccine advocate, now leading public health, misinformation is fueling preventable crises.
