Trump even fails at the little stuff, haunted by Mamdani's success
6/25/202641 min
Jen Psaki looks at how Donald Trump failed at what should have been the easiest assignment of his presidency, celebrating the 250th birthday of the United States. And Trump even managed to blow up the signing ceremony for what should have been a no-brainer, bipartisan, American-helping housing bill. But it was in his unhinged tweets that it became clear what was really on his mind.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries discusses last night's primary elections, including the races in New York in which candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani defeated candidates backed by Jeffries.
Jen Psaki explains the difference between the America 250 planning to celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States, and "Freedom 250," which is Donald Trump's vehicle to make America's 250th birthday about himself at to his own benefit. Senator Jon Ossoff joins to discuss how self-dealing corruption has become a hallmark of Donald Trump's presidency.
Senator Elizabeth Warren talks with Jen Psaki about Donald Trump's refusal to sign a bipartisan housing bill that will help Americans struggling with the high cost of living in Trump's economy.

Being the President of the United States is a hard job. We all know that. I mean, all the hard decisions land on your desk. Every single president says this, and it's true. But there are actually some parts of the job that are supposed to be, well, much easier than others, simple things that the leader of the free world does in between all of the difficult stuff. Like say throwing a birthday party for America, I mean, that's supposed to be one of those very easy things, right? But for Donald Trump, even
