New episode of the PN Pod is live! Paul Waldman and I discuss Trump’s pathetic thirstiness to be besties with Xi, his almost unfathomable ignorance about AI, taxpayers footing the bill for Trump propaganda ads the administration is placing on right-wing cable, and more!

A Republican state Senate candidate in Minnesota (Austin Peterson) was asked during a debate what he's done to ensure clean water in his community, and his answer was bizarre: "When we put gasoline in our boats, we're putting that gasoline in on the shore and not in the lake. So I mean, it's small things."

Texas House Republican Jeff Leach: “Paxton needs to get on a debate stage with James Talarico and the people of Texas deserve that conversation"

Trump keeps saying his summit with Xi was totes awesome and they're besties now, but note how he never details a single specific accomplishment

RAJU: So you're not planning to help Paxton fundraise at all? CORNYN: That's correct RAJU: Why? CORNYN: This is the way majority parties become minority parties -- by nominating candidates that are less than appealing to a general election electorate RAJU: Does he deserve to be a senator? CORNYN: I'll let the voters decide that

tell me the summit accomplished jack shit without telling me the summit accomplished jack shit

if Trump truly isn't planning to illegally stay in office past 2029, what explains the US government paying for these Trump campaign ads to run on TV? they're just wasting taxpayer dollars to soothe his ego?

that's a lot of stairs for Trump

Q: Did you discuss the war with Iran with President Xi? TRUMP: We did. I think we're gonna do great. (China has reportedly helped Iran kill US troops)

Xi and his wife hold hands. Trump and Melania do not

how do guys like Dan Meuser go on TV, praise Trump is such an obsequious fashion, and not feel embarrassed with themselves? hard to imagine they actually believe this stuff

North Korean shit

Trump: "We appreciate the fair coverage. It's been very fair." (He literally banned journalists from covering the summit ... )

"Just weeks out from midterms that are shaping up to be a bloodbath for Republicans, Trump and his minions are resorting to blaming Biden every opportunity for the fact Americans are deeply dissatisfied with the economy. But the fact of the matter is that Trump has no one to blame but himself." publicnotice.co/p/trump-econ…

Q: On affordability, Republicans have been in control for a couple years, and Americans are not seeing prices come down. What argument can you make that we should continue on this course? MIKE COLLINS: Sure, gas is too high. But also know that we got here because of Bidenomics

"They assured us yesterday that they were not doing that."

Q: Mr President, did you call on President Xi to stop buying oil from Iran? TRUMP: ... Q: What about guardrails on AI? TRUMP: ... Q: Why are you banning media outlets? TRUMP: ... Q: Should US taxpayers pay for ads about you? TRUMP: *walks away*

Just keeps getting better for him.
