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

Trump officials take part in some major. damage control, or at least damage. camouflage. This is just another day. When it comes to public service, there. are a wide variety of roles. But if you. happen to serve in the Trump. administration, the most crucial part of. your job is definitely cleaning up the. president's. >> And now to this, Secretary of State. Marco Rubio is at the Vatican this. morning for a meeting with Pope Leo the. 14th. Today's closed-door one-on-one. with the head of the Catholic Church.

comes after a spat between the president. and the pontiff. >> A spat? Is that what the world saw? Just. a little tiff between friends? Some pals. engaged in some light bickering? Cuz uh. I seem to remember it differently. >> Tonight, President Trump is slamming the. Pope on social media and to reporters. saying he should quote get his act. together and stop catering to the. radical left. >> We don't want a Pope that says crime is. okay in our cities. I don't like it. I'm. not a big fan of Pope Leo.

>> And uh you know his brother is a big. MAGA person and he's a great guy, Louis. And I said I like Louis better than I. like the Pope. >> I think a spat is when someone forgets. to take out the trash, not when someone. repeatedly calls the Pope trash. But. that's the sweaty situation sweaty Marco. Rubio walked into today. One where a. Pope has preached through church's. message of peace and non-violence and a. US president has called that Pope a. So, for a meeting like this. seeking to uh patch up a contentious. relationship, it was crucial for Rubio.

to show up with the right gift that. delivered the right message. >> Pope's gift to Rubio when he was leaving. was this olive wood pen. And in case the. symbolism was missed, Pope Leo said, "By. the way, this is the plant of peace.". And then Rubio gave Leo a crystal. football with the State Department seal. >> Nice. What was the message there? Here's. a crystal football since you clearly. think our president is concussed. You. know, I don't want to say that the. Secretary of State put absolutely no.

thought into what to get a Pope who's. been relentlessly criticized by Donald. Trump, but not only did he spring for. the palm-size football, Pope Leo is also. widely known to be a baseball fan. The. only way Rubio could have been more out. of touch is if he showed up with a pack. of condoms. And what makes this even worse is what a. special meeting this could have been for. our dear Secretary of State. >> For Rubio, who's a devout Catholic. himself, today's visit is as much about. damage control as diplomacy. >> Ah, man, that has to suck for Rubio as a.

devout Catholic, having to meet his hero. under the shittiest of circumstances. That's like Cash Patel getting to meet a. Budweiser horse on the day he gets. fired. Just not how he imagined it. But. Rubio isn't the only one taking part in. damage control these days. Thanks to. Donald Trump's failed policies, reckless. governance, and let's call it his less. than stellar acts of diplomacy, >> Open the expletive straight, you crazy. bastards. >> So fun. Trump's cabinet officials has. have been tasked with hitting the.

airwaves to turn all of our lemons into. lemonade. >> In fact, I had the head of one of the. big five banks in my office yesterday. going through the credit card data. And. just as Secretary Mnuchin said, credit. card spending is through the roof. They're spending more on gasoline, but. they're spending more on everything. else, too. >> Uh, I guess that's one way to look at. Americans plunging themselves deeper and. deeper into debt just to afford going to. work and feeding their families. In. fact, why stop there? Donald Trump's. tariffs have been so successful,

millions of small business owners have. decided to give their employees endless. vacation time. Yep, Donald Trump has been so adept at. turning everything he touches into a. disaster area, I'm surprised his cabinet. officials haven't reached out to FEMA. for a relief package. Although, it's. probably because they know they'd be. denied. So, Trump officials want the. world to know that our relationship with. the Vatican couldn't be better, our. economy is top-notch, and there's. absolutely no reason that you shouldn't. pack up the family van and splurge on a. little vacay this summer.

>> Now we're getting into that summer blend. gasoline. 90% of Americans take road. trips for their summer vacation. >> Well, for we want to encourage all. Americans to take a road trip, whether. you're going to go 2 hours or 2 days. >> Or maybe even a 2-minute-long road trip. where you and your family head to the. end of your cul-de-sac because that's as. far as you can afford to travel. But we all know why it now costs more to. drive to an open house than to buy an. open house. The totally optional war. that Trump started with Iran. And seeing. the Rube Goldberg hell that it's.

unleashed on the US economy, the smart. move would be for our president not to. run his goddamn mouth. But Trump doesn't. believe in smart moves. >> He says, quote, "A whole civilization. will die tonight, never to be brought. back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will.". >> He doesn't want it to happen, but it. probably will? He's the guy that would. make it happen. That's like Kanye going, "I just wish someone would stop that guy. from selling those disgusting swastika. t-shirts.". And of course, you can count on Trump to.

leave this particular scooping to. the member of his cabinet most repelled. by. >> President Donald Trump has tasked the. member of his inner circle who seemed to. be the most reluctant defender of the. 6-week-old conflict to now find a. resolution. The Republican Vice. President set off on Friday to lead. mediating talks with Iran and Pakistan. >> We're we're we're we're looking forward. to the negotiation. I think it's going. to be positive. >> Wow, looking forward to the experience. Pence is such a glass-half-full. politician, isn't he? Because, yeah, he.

may have to explain why the guy who. threatened to end Iran's entire. civilization is a trustworthy. negotiating partner, but also think of. the meals, the hummus, the pita. Don't. you know what this guy eats when he. cooks for himself? >> I got those crescent rolls that you can. get. They're very good. I rolled them. out like into a pizza shape and put. vegetables and ranch dressing on top and. stuck it in the oven for 30 minutes. >> I know it sounds gross, but he has to. use crescent rolls. He's their mascot.

The reality is Chef J.D. Vance, Marco. Rubio, and the rest of this president's. sycophantic minions are out there being. forced to feel the pain of Donald. Trump's tyrannical actions and clean up. the mess he's made. And all I can say to. that is welcome to the club. Because. being responsible for cleaning up that. mess is what America has had to deal. with for years. Trump promised to build. a border wall paid for by Mexico, but in. the end we got stiffed with the $15. billion bill. Trump bragged that our. nation was getting a free plane from.

Qatar, but in the end we covered the. billion-dollar price tag it cost to. retrofit it. Trump said that his. gold-encrusted ballroom would be at no. cost to American taxpayers thanks to the. generosity of private donors, but. surprise, we are now on the hook for a. billion dollars worth of necessary. security upgrades. >> Special black granite. Granite is the. most powerful stone there is. Marble is. much weaker than granite. I like marble. more because marble can be more.

beautiful, but it's a much weaker stone. >> Wow, pretty crazy to hear how much more. respect Donald Trump has for black. granite than he does for black people. This president doesn't care if he gets. us entangled in foreign wars, bankrupts. our economy, alienates us from our. allies, or even destroys our. relationship with God's favorite White. Sox fan. And that's because he is never. the one who has to fix things. That's. everyone else's job. Trump is pretty. much a baby and the rest of us are the. ones tasked with cleaning up his.
