While the American people have been paying Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to do his job—like alleviating the high price of gas and air travel—lobbyists have been buying him off with a seven-month-long family road trip. But of course, Trump is also being looked after: His ghastly, 22-foot golden sculpture was unveiled, and Republicans promised a billion taxpayer dollars for what was supposed to be a donor-funded ballroom. Trump needs a little bit of a psychological boost after his apparent defeat in Iran. Plus, Ukraine is gaining ground and Putin sounds like he's winding his war down, Trump has basically ended the post-WWII order, and Tennessee's redistricting was pure racial gerrymandering.

Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.
