Psaki Bombs! Trump dumps his humiliating Iran bungle on Vance as right-wing supporters turn on him



Jen Psaki takes a look at how things are going for the heir apparent to the MAGA movement, Donald Trump's vice president, JD Vance, who was awkwardly left hanging for a moment trying to get Trump on the phone at a political rally in Hungary, and then had the flaming mess of Trump's Iran ceasefire negotiations dumped in his lap.

Trump Iran war is going so poorly that even some of his most vocal right-wing media supporters are turning on him. Meanwhile, disgraced former Trump secretary of homeland security, Kristi Noem, can't seem to escape the news cycle as we are learning that her extravagant plane with the bedroom in the back will be offered for use by Trump's Cabinet and Melania Trump.

And Jen points out that the flip side of Donald Trump's cratering popularity is an ongoing series of victories for Democrats. And we check in again on Democratic candidate Bobby Pulido, who has turned his opponent's insult that he belongs performing at quinceañera parties into a legitimate campaign tactic. - 04/09/2026.

the whole Melania announcement was strange timing. Somethings up with it and I think Trump is scrambling to throw anyone or everyone under the bus.
