White House clown - Trump’s circus show goes on

Donald Trump’s recent cabinet meeting was everything we’ve come to expect - a circus. All of his secretaries were competing with one another to see who could come up with the biggliest compliment. Was this just a PR stunt made for clips, and what does it say about the state of this administration?  ​Plus, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man wrongly deported to El Salvador, has been detained again and threatened with deportation to Uganda. And Trump’s firing top US officials who simply don’t agree with his nonsense. Chris and Nikki dive into it all!
