President Trump ousted National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and gave the job to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, officials are hoarding supplies ahead of an expected spike in prices, someone needs to check Attorney General Pam Bondi's math, and Stephen weighs in on a question that is burning up the internet.First, as I wrote in John Oliver examines RFK Jr. & HHS, "Hoover Cleveland will only do the right thing for the wrong reasons." Instead of firing Waltz for using Signal instead of government email, I'm sure he replaced him with Marco Rubio because he included Editor of the Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg and let the public know about the chat. Second, nominating Waltz to be Ambassador to the United Nations is a promotion, not a firing. I don't know if he'll be an improvement over Elise Stefanik. Probably not.
I'll get to Pam Bondi later. In the meantime, officials hoarding toilet paper is a bad sign of trouble ahead, even if China has very little to do with toilet paper. Also, I'm a biologist, so I'm supporting what the experts are saying about gorillas, as much fun as 100 men vs. a gorilla sounds.
I turn next to Seth Meyers in Trump Ousts Waltz After Signal Scandal, Says Kids Don’t Need Toys Affected by Tariffs: A Closer Look.
Seth takes a closer look at turmoil and confusion in Trump's White House after he announced he was moving his scandal-plagued national security adviser to a different job."Once a leaker, always a leaker, often a leaker." Yeah, Kegseth, you'd know.
Hoover Cleveland's callous remarks about Christmas presents is another bad economic sign. It's also enough to earn him the nickname "Donnie Two Dolls." Now I'm thinking of Sugar and Spice, Two-Face's girlfriends from Batman Forever.
That may not be as effective as comparing Hoover Cleveland to The Grinch or Marie Antoinette. I'm looking forward to the memes already.
I'm continuing with The Daily Show's Mike Waltz Leaves the Group Chat for a U.N. One & Trump’s Town Hall Gets Racist.
Michael Kosta continues TDS coverage of Trump’s 100th day in office with reports from NewsNation’s town hall, where the president racially slighted Stephen A. Smith, as well as details on Mike Waltz’s exit and subsequent United Nations promotion, and Pam Bondi’s ridiculous claims about fentanyl deaths.Stupid racism from Hoover Cleveland at a town hall? I'll let Iago respond for me.
Speaking of stupid, Bondi's math on fentanyl rests on very shaky assumptions, and it just gets worse. That doesn't stop him from believing it. As I've said before, "the voices in his head are not reliable sources. Neither are the real people he listens to." That includes Bondi.
I close with Jimmy Kimmel's Trump Fires His First Cabinet Member, Gets Protested Across Country & Called a "Man of DEEP FAITH!"
Thousands of concerned citizens joined shoulders across America to protest our dear leader and his minions, employees at the FEC will soon be required to report their location every day, Trump headed to Mar-A-Lago today for another three day weekend, Elon is dialing back his DOGE duties to focus on his own disaster of a company, Don Jr is co-founding an exclusive members only club in Washington D.C., all of America’s most prominent religious figures were at the White House today for a “National Day of Prayer,” Dr. Phil claimed that Trump is a man of deep faith, NewsNation had a town hall where Trump talked about how much people who are “Black” love him, a deal was signed with Ukraine for rights to their rare earth minerals, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz is OUT, longtime anchor Steve Doocy made a major announcement this morning on Fox & Friends, and it’s time for our now-beloved tradition, the “Can You Believe What Month it Is” montage for May.I'm glad to see Jimmy K. report on the May Day protests. All the other late-night hosts missed them in their monologues, but they're on the East Coast. Jimmy is southern California, so he has three more hours to catch up on the news.
