Trump deals NIGHTMARE blow to his OWN top officials | Another Day

0:00 Trump officials take part in some major

0:02 damage control or at least damage camouflage.

0:05 This is just another day.

0:10 When it comes to public service, there are a wide variety of roles,

0:14 but if you happen to serve in the Trump administration,

0:16 the most crucial part of your job is definitely cleaning up the president's

0:21 And now to this.

0:22 Secretary of State Marco Rubio was at the Vatican

0:24 this morning for a meeting with Pope Leo the 14th.

0:27 Today's closed door one-on-one uh with the head of the Catholic

0:30 Church comes after a spat between the president and the pontiff.

0:34 A spat?

0:35 Is that what the world saw?

0:37 Just a little tiff between friends, some pals engaged in some light bickering

0:42 cuz uh I seem to remember it differently.

0:46 Tonight, President Trump is slamming the Pope

0:48 on social media and to reporters saying

0:50 he should quote get his act together and stop catering to the radical left.

0:54 We don't want a pope that says grime is okay in our cities.

0:58 I don't like it.

0:59 I'm not a big fan of Pope Leo.

1:00 And you know, his brother is a big MAGA person and he's a great guy, Lewis.

1:05 And I said, I like Lewis better than I like the Pope.

1:07 I think a spat is when someone forgets to take out the trash,

1:11 not when someone repeatedly calls the Pope trash.

1:14 But that's the sweaty situation sweaty Marco Rubio walked into today.

1:19 one where a pope has preached the church's

1:21 message of peace and non-violence and a US president

1:23 has called that pope a So for a meeting

1:26 like this seeking to patch up a contentious relationship,

1:30 it was crucial for Rubio to show up

1:32 with the right gift that delivered the right message.

1:35 Pope's gift to Rubio when he was leaving was this olivewood pen.

1:40 And in case the symbolism was missed, Pope Leo said, "By the way,

1:43 this is the plant of peace." And then Rubio

1:47 gave Leo a crystal football with the State Department seal.

1:52 Nice.

1:53 What was the message there?

1:54 Here's a crystal football since you clearly think our president is concussed.

1:58 You know, I don't want to say that the Secretary of State put absolutely

2:01 no thought into what to get a Pope

2:02 who's been relentlessly criticized by Donald Trump.

2:05 But not only did he spring for the palmsized football,

2:08 Pope Leo is also widely known to be a baseball fan.

2:11 The only way Rubio could have been more out of touch

2:14 is if he showed up with a pack of condoms.

2:16 And what makes this even worse is what a special

2:19 meeting this could have been for our dear Secretary of State.

2:22 For Rubio, who's a devout Catholic himself,

2:25 today's visit is as much about damage control as diplomacy.

2:29 A man, that has to suck for Rubio as a devout Catholic,

2:32 having to meet his hero under the shittiest of circumstances.

2:36 That's like Cash Patel getting to meet

2:38 a Budweiser horse on the day he gets fired.

2:40 just not how he imagined it.

2:43 But Rubio isn't the only one taking part in damage control these days.

2:46 Thanks to Donald Trump's failed policies, reckless governance,

2:49 and uh let's call it his less than stellar acts of diplomacy.

2:53 Open the expletive straight, you crazy bastards.

2:57 So fun.

2:57 Trump's cabinet officials has have been tasked with hitting

3:00 the airwaves to turn all of our lemons into lemonade.

3:03 In fact, I had the head of one of the big five banks

3:05 in my office yesterday going through the credit

3:07 card data and just as Secretary Bessant said,

3:10 uh, credit card spending is through the roof.

3:13 They're spending more on gasoline,

3:14 but they're spending more on everything else, too.

3:17 Uh, I guess that's one way to look at Americans plunging themselves deeper

3:22 and deeper into debt just to afford going to work and feeding their families.

3:26 In fact, why stop there?

3:28 Donald Trump's tariffs have been so successful,

3:31 millions of small business owners have decided

3:33 to give their employees endless vacation time.

3:36 Yep.

3:36 Donald Trump has been so adept at turning

3:38 everything he touches into a disaster area.

3:41 I'm surprised his cabinet officials haven't reached

3:43 out to FEMA for a relief package.

3:45 Although, it's probably because they know they'd be denied.

3:49 So, Trump officials want the world to know

3:51 that our relationship with the Vatican couldn't be better.

3:53 Our economy is topnotch and there's absolutely no reason that you shouldn't

3:57 pack up the family van and splurge on a little vacay this summer.

4:01 Now we're getting into that summer blend gasoline.

4:04 90% of Americans take road trips for their summer vacation.

4:08 Well, first of all, we want to encourage all Americans to take a road

4:10 trip whether you're going to go 2 hours or 2 days or maybe even

4:13 a 2 minute long road trip where you and your family head to the end

4:16 of your culdesac because that's as far as you can afford to travel.

4:20 But we all know why it now costs more to drive

4:22 to an open house than to buy an open house.

4:25 The totally optional war that Trump started with Iran.

4:28 And seeing the Rube Goldberg hell that it's unleashed on the US economy,

4:32 the smart move would be for our president not to run his goddamn mouth.

4:36 But Trump doesn't believe in smart moves.

4:39 He says, quote, "A whole civilization will die tonight,

4:42 never to be brought back again.

4:44 I don't want that to happen,

4:46 but it probably will." He doesn't want it to happen, but it probably will.

4:50 He's the guy that would make it happen.

4:53 That's like Kanye going, I just wish someone would stop

4:56 that guy from selling those disgusting swastika t-shirts.

4:59 And of course, you can count on Trump to leave this particular

5:03 scooping to the member of his cabinet most repelled by President

5:07 Donald Trump has tasked the member of his inner circle who

5:10 seemed to be the most reluctant defender of the six-week old conflict,

5:14 to now find a resolution.

5:16 The Republican vice president set off on Friday

5:19 to lead mediated talks with Iran in Pakistan.

5:22 We're we're we're looking forward to the negotiation.

5:24 I think it's going to be positive.

5:25 Wow.

5:26 Looking forward to the experience.

5:28 Vance is such a glass half full politician, isn't he?

5:31 Because yeah, he may have to explain why the guy who

5:33 threatened to end Iran's entire

5:35 civilization is a trustworthy negotiating partner.

5:38 But also, think of the meals, the hummus, the pa.

5:42 Don't you know what this guy eats when he cooks for himself?

5:44 I got those crescent rolls that you can get.

5:47 They're very good.

5:48 I rolled them out like into a pizza shape and put vegetables

5:53 and ranch dressing on top and stuck it in the oven for 30 minutes.

5:55 I know it sounds gross, but he has to use crescent rolls.

5:59 He's their mascot.

6:00 The reality is Chef JD Vance, Marco Rubio,

6:03 and the rest of this president's sickopantic

6:05 minions are out there being forced to feel

6:08 the pain of Donald Trump's tyrannical actions and clean up the mess he's made.

6:12 And all I can say to that is welcome to the club because being responsible

6:16 for cleaning up that mess is what America has had to deal with for years.

6:21 Trump promised to build a border wall paid for by Mexico,

6:24 but in the end, we got stiffed with the $15 billion bill.

6:28 Trump bragged that our nation was getting a free plane from Qatar,

6:31 but in the end, we covered the billion dollar price tag it cost to retrofit it.

6:36 Trump said that his golden crusted ballroom would be at no

6:39 cost to American taxpayers thanks to the generosity of private donors.

6:43 But surprise, we are now on the hook

6:46 for a billion dollars worth of necessary security upgrades.

6:50 Special black granite.

6:52 Granite is the most powerful stone there is.

6:55 Marble is much weaker than granite.

6:57 I like marble more because marble can be more beautiful,

7:01 but it's a much weaker stone.

7:03 Wow.

7:03 Pretty crazy to hear how much more respect Donald Trump

7:06 has for Black Granite than he does for black people.

7:09 This president doesn't care if he gets us entangled in foreign wars,

7:12 bankrupts our economy, alienates us from our allies,

7:15 or even destroys our relationship with God's favorite White Socks fan.

7:19 And that's because he is never the one who has to fix things.

7:22 That's everyone else's job.

7:24 Trump is pretty much a baby,

7:26 and the rest of us are the ones tasked with cleaning up his Ew.

7:42 But second, the reality is that we are

7:43 now in a political environment where this administration can

7:46 lean on any of the social media platforms

7:47 to suppress certain voices if they don't like critical coverage.

7:51 That means my longevity here is in the hands of a few tech billionaires

7:54 who are already making it clear that they

7:56 are willing to cater to this administration.
