Trump and Republicans are LOSING IT One Week Before the Midterms
Summary
Pod Save America breaks down the MAGA media's overreaction to Barack Obama’s joke comparing the White House to a Cheesecake Factory. The hosts argue that Trump’s defensive response, which focused on his renovation projects rather than policy, revealed his genuine hurt and out-of-touch priorities. They also highlight the absurdity of the rally for Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, where she received minimal airtime compared to Trump’s lengthy monologue.
