Why did Donald Trump’s Sunday damage‑control effort backfire spectacularly?

Rep. Thomas Massie 0:00
Hey, who's driving? I've only driven four! Where are we going?

What do you mean, what do you mean?
Ben Meiselas 0:19
What do you mean, what do you mean?
Scott Bessent 0:34
Devisol D-vitamins can be found in pharmacies. Orion Pharma. Building well-being.

It's time of the year again, which everyone has been waiting for. So, let's hurry up and keep it up. First a gift, then to the grocery store, sometimes to clean and pack. King Kunin, boxes to the kitchen, it's about to start. Food to the table, snacks to the table and to eat.
Adam Kinzinger 1:08
Then we share the gifts, we repeat the same the next day, but without gifts.
Ben Meiselas 1:11
Dreaming of a birthday, finally and finally trying the best time of the year, when the piano falls to the ground. Donald Trump is spiraling out of control on Sunday from the official White House account. They're posting photos of Donald Trump with Melania that say America's power couple. Do you think that's going to make us forget that you're covering up a child's sex trafficking ring like that. We're just going to go, oh, Donald Trump's name wasn't all over those Epstein emails that were just released because Donald and Melania, they're America's power couple. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's been posting post after post after post. Now he's attacking Indiana because they refuse to go along with his gerrymandering scheme.
Ben Meiselas 2:05
There he goes. Very disappointed in Indiana State Senate Republicans led by Rhino Senators Rod Bray and Greg Good for not wanting to redistrict their state, allowing the United States Congress to perhaps gain two more Republican seats. The Democrats have done redistricting for years. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. By the way. That's why it was such a power move for California Governor Gavin Newsom to assert his moral and formal authority in California with Prop 50. Because it sent a message to the rest of the country. If you do this, blue states are going to do this. If red states scheme, blue states are going to respond with force. And we saw it there as well.

How did Trump’s attack on Indiana’s redistricting plan spark controversy?

It should also be noted right now that Donald Trump is waking up to this map. 23 U.S. states currently in a recession. 11 are on the brink of recession. And Michigan is the latest to tip into a contraction mode. According to Moody's, this is deeply problematic. And Donald Trump continues to spiral. It should also be noted that Marjorie Taylor Greene was making her rounds on the morning shows yesterday. This morning, Marjorie Taylor Greene was asked about Donald Trump's betrayal of the MAGA movement. And she says, I don't know, I mean, he's promoting H1B visas to replace American jobs, bringing in 600,000 Chinese students to replace American students, saying that foreign workers are better than American workers.
Ben Meiselas 3:34
Here's what Marjorie Taylor Greene has to say. Let's play this clip.
Unknown 3:38
Sounds like you're saying that he is not representing the MAGA movement that he started right now.
Marjorie Taylor Greene 3:45
I can say that promoting H-1B visas to replace American jobs, bringing in 600,000 Chinese students to replace American students' opportunities in American colleges and universities, those are not America first positions. And continuing to really travel all over the world doesn't help Americans back at home. I really, and I said this to him. And I and I will say it out loud. I would love to see Air Force One be parked and stay home and there be nothing but a constant focus in the White House on a domestic agenda that helps the American people once and for all.
Ben Meiselas 4:29
Marjorie Taylor Greene also says that she disagrees with Donald Trump bringing in the former leader of Al Qaeda and spraying him with perfume and cologne in the Oval Office. She goes, that's probably a bad look to do on the Marines 250th anniversary. This is what Donald Trump is waking up to as well. Play this clip.
Marjorie Taylor Greene 4:49
And I can disagree with the president at times, especially particularly this past Monday on the Marines 250th anniversary, when he honored the new Syrian president who is an al Qaeda terrorist and was wanted by our government for years with a 10 million dollar bounty up until March of this year. I very much am against that.
