Jon Favreau

And I was like, isn't that the clip from last month when Kevin hasn't said this?

And then I had to click on it and realize that he basically said the same thing again, but maybe worse this time.

It's so funny because we also, on Friday's pod, covered Besant in the briefing room when some reporter asked him about people's savings being low, people dipping into their savings.

And he's like, well, according to the economic literature, that could be two things.

One, the Doomer view that you just took, which is that people aren't confident or they're spending so much because they are confident and that's why they're dipping into their savings.

Doomers.

Yeah, well, you know what the solution is?

Turn that frown upside down, all you doomers.

Believe, believe in Donald Trump and his- This is wild.

Look, if a man can do that with brass, imagine what he can do for your savings.

So obviously none of this is going too well politically for Trump, but unfortunately for him, even his renovations and corruption are running into some stiff headwinds.

On Friday, a federal judge blocked Trump's plan to close the Kennedy Center for renovations and also ruled that he can't just rename it for himself.

There was a very long Truth Social post where he was ranting about that, that I have to tell you, I honestly couldn't get through it all.

It's just he was very upset.

But basically he's like, I'm giving up on the Kennedy Center.

That's it.

Forget it.

It's like, all right, cool.

The same day, another federal judge in Florida reopened Trump's IRS settlement with his own DOJ because of what she called, quote, grievous allegations that the one point eight billion dollar insurrectionist slush fund was, quote, premised on deception.

Then another federal judge in Virginia temporarily blocked the transfer of money in or out of the fund while she waits to hear arguments in a lawsuit challenging it.
