Republicans 'in for a world of hurt' after 'killer' Trump poll: conservative analyst

During an appearance on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” conservative journalist David Drucker suggested that, unless the Donald Trump White House makes a radical U-turn on some of his least popular policies, the Republican caucus can expect an apocalypse in November when voters go to the polls.

After co-host Jonathan Lemire reported the GOP lawmakers are likely “slamming their heads on their desks” after the president insisted he will bring back his unpopular tariffs after Friday’s Supreme Court 6-3 smack-down, Drucker agreed and cited a new Washington Post/ABC News/ IPSOS poll that shows the president’s approval numbers are in a death spiral.

'Seems to be getting worse': Attorney floored as GOP deposition scheme backfires on Trump

A lawyer was floored on Sunday as he discussed how the GOP's scheme to ignore the deposition of a potential co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein's backfired on the president.

Last week, the House Oversight Committee held a nearly five-hour deposition of Leslie Wexner, the former CEO of Victoria's Secret.
