Bondi Fired, U.S. Jets Shot Down, Trump’s Easter Ultimatum
from The Lonely Liberal · host Nick Zenkin
Trump had one of the most chaotic weeks of his presidency — and that's saying something. He gave his first primetime address on the Iran war 33 days in, claiming total air dominance over a country that then shot down two of our jets within 48 hours. He fired his Attorney General for not being ruthless enough. He told a room full of Saudi investors that MBS better "be nice to him." And he dropped an f-bomb on Easter Sunday while threatening to bomb a country back to the stone ages. Oh, and NASA launched the first humans to the Moon in 53 years — which somehow got lost in the chaos. Nick and Rick break down Trump's contradictory Iran war speech and what the downed F-15 means for the conflict, the firing of Pam Bondi and what it tells us about the DOJ under Trump, the bizarre FII summit speech, the Supreme Court's skeptical reception of Trump's birthright citizenship case, Hegseth firing the Army Chief of Staff mid-war, the $1.5 trillion defense budget, 100% pharma tariffs, and a new executive order on elections that experts are already calling unconstitutional.
