Trump loves playing the tough guy. But when a credible Iranian threat emerged during his trip to Turkey, Bunker Boy made his return.
Now, the security operation to secretly move Trump off Air Force One makes sense.
The elaborate cover story afterward? A little harder to explain.
Especially from a president who never misses a chance to tell us how tough he is.
Meanwhile, the White House is apparently still determined to prosecute an innocent civilian over Trump’s beloved Reflecting Pool, despite the DOJ already admitting it doesn’t have the evidence to convict him.
Will this be Blanche’s first big loyalty test?
And Trump’s new vaccine order has doctors furious.
Not only is he reviving dangerous vaccine misinformation, he’s recommending a vaccine schedule that isn’t even possible with what’s currently available.
Pediatric critical care physician Dr. Anita Patel joins us to explain what Trump is asking for, what the science says, and why a certain senator finding his voice is…a little rich.
Plus, today’s DEFIANCE comes from an unexpected corner of the resistance.
Do not piss off the knitters.
