JD Vance shot down by former Trump official over his Mike Waltz 'promotion' comments

A former official in Donald Trump's first administration who served as both national security adviser and ambassador to the United Nations shot down the spin from Vice President J.D. Vance that Mike Waltz was getting a "promotion" after being ousted from his advisory position.

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," John Bolton said there is no legitimate comparison between the two jobs.

Co-host Jonathan Capehart pressed his guest, "Let's talk about your other the other job you had that at least talked about in the intro. You were the United States ambassador, permanent representative to the United Nations. Vice President Vance is trying to is trying to spin Mike Waltz's nomination to be in the job you had as a promotion. I mean, on paper, it might it seems like a promotion from national security advisor. But you tell me, as someone who has been in both jobs."

"Look, I loved being U.N. ambassador, it's a great job, there's no question about it," Bolton replied. "But in terms of being able to influence policy, it's not even a close question."

"National security advisors is far more likely to be influential," he elaborated. "The office is only a couple of yards down the hall from the Oval Office, and the fact is the U.N. ambassador actually has a job to do, too, in addition to, to what? to what the what the level of the title may show."

"So I think if you took a survey and asked any, any number of national security-related people in Washington or around the country, they would overwhelmingly say that national security advisor was the more important job. I don't even think that's a close question," he added.

Prepare for Trump to lose his mind on Sunday night: MSNBC host

Following a debate on MSNBC's "The Weekend" on whether former Vice President Mike Pence deserves to be the recipient of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for his actions on Jan. 6th, co-host Jonathan Capehart stated he was more interested in how Donald Trump will react.

Pence will receive the award for “putting his life and career on the line” when he oversaw the certification of the 2020 presidential election results despite threats and pressure from Trump combined with an assault on the Capitol that forced lawmakers from both parties to flee.

Noting the award will be presented at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum Sunday night in Boston, co-host Elise Jordan defended Pence, explaining, "I think the award is a good move just because it shows grace for anything –– what happened in the past, I'm not going to say I agreed with everything Mike Pence did as vice president certainly –– but the human capacity for change and how it is powerful when people step up and they do their job, which sometimes it is simply doing their job and not taking orders, and he could have taken orders and it could have been disastrous."

That was when Capehart jumped in, "You know, but you know the best –– come on –– I'm just going to speak for myself. But the thing I'm most looking forward to is the reaction of ––."

"Of who?" Daniels interrupted.

"President Trump! Because it's totally going to be..." Capehart responded as he mimed Trump's head exploding.

"True Social is going to be lighting up," Jordan interjected.

"Lit, as the kids would say," Capehart agreed.

'I don't buy that': GOP strategist's rosy economic prediction shot down by CNN host

An attempt by a Republican strategist to paint a rosy picture of the Donald Trump economy turning soon around was shot down by CNN host Abby Phillip on Saturday morning.

During an appearance on CNN's "Table for Five," conservative Erin McGuire suggested a Republican-authored budget deal that includes tax cuts will lead to "a shift" in opinion on the president's tariff war.

As she explained, " I think for the longer term of Trump's economic plan here, you're about to see a little bit of a shift in it right now, not only because you're hearing about China possibly coming to the table –– and the last couple of times that's happened that has lifted the markets.any indication a deal could be coming everybody gets a little excited –– but in the Capitol right now they're going through budget reconciliation."

"If they get this tax deal done, now I understand they want to do it in one big beautiful bill and as the Hill dork I am, I think the fact that you have two budget vehicles available to you gives you double the power and opportunity to get big economic policy done," she predicted. "Everything needs to have a budgetary impact in order to beat the filibuster in the Senate."

"But they get this tax work done, it will help alleviate the work that needs to get done on trade and tariffs, and take some of the pressure off of those points and it's happening right now in the Capitol and it's not being discussed about," she stated.

'It's gone too far': GOP lawmaker draws line in the sand for Trump during MSNBC appearance

During an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday morning Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) served notice to Donald Trump that he is joining with some of his Republican colleagues in the Senate to reclaim the right of Congress to set and approve U.S. trade policy by pointing out that the president has overstepped his his authority.

Speaking with the hosts of the newly revamped "The Weekend," Bacon -- an occasional foe of the president –– urged Trump to back off.

"Article 1, Section 8 [of the Constitution] gives Congress the authority over tariffs and taxes," he began. "It's pretty clear in the Constitution."

"But what Congress has done way before my time ... is that we gave emergency authorities to the president, and it was intended to go lf like if Russia invades Ukraine, let's put tariffs on Russia and things like that," he explained. "It was not intended to do tariffs against 80 countries and a wholesale policy change which is what I see today."

"So I share the views of Senator [Chuck] Grassley also [Kentucky Republican] Rand Paul and other Republicans in the Senate that it's gone too far and Congress should restore this. authority back to where it belongs ––– and that's with us," he added.

Trump-appointed judge just 'made it so easy' for other judges to block him: George Conway

A federal judge appointed to his current position by Donald Trump during his first term has handed a roadmap to his colleagues on the bench to block the president from invoking the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) to do whatever he wants.

That is according to conservative attorney George Conway who appeared on MSNBC's revamped "The Weekend" on Saturday.

Pointing to U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr's ruling, where he wrote Trump's use of the act "exceeds the scope of the statute and is contrary to the plain, ordinary meaning of the statute's terms," Conway suggested Rodriguez did the heavy-lifting other judges can invoke themselves.

Speaking with host Eugene Daniels, the anti-Trump Conway pointed out, "The bottom line is it's a no-brainer."

"I mean, what the judge pointed out was the Alien Enemies Act –– the president has broad powers under the Alien Enemies Act –– but only if certain prerequisites are met. First is there a declared war? No declared war. Second is there a military invasion or incursion? You know, do we have troops or guerrillas going over the border taking property and taking land or blowing things up? That's not happening."

"These are people going here and there in different parts of the United states and allegedly engaging in criminal conspiracy –– that doesn't even come close," he exclaimed. 'The judge made clear to what is. what was supposed to be covered by this law and so it's so easy. The court, the judge made it so easy."

"It's going to be other judges in other districts are going to rule exactly the same way and everybody's going to," he predicted.
