Donald Trump, Empath in Chief

Trump says the savage murder of Rob and Michele Reiner was the
result of their own "Trump Derangement Symptom" and says Reiner
was bad for the country. The one real surprise: the number of
Republicans in Congress, and even Trump's own social media
followers, who denounced the post. Jon, Tommy, and Lovett discuss
the Republican pushback and the weekend's (many) other tragedies,
including shootings at Brown and Bondi Beach, and the death of
two U.S. service members in Syria. Then they look at MAGA voters'
growing disappointment with their president, Erika Kirk trying to
stop Candace Owens from spreading conspiracy theories about her
husband's assassination, and growing speculation about Kamala
Harris and Gavin Newsom's political futures. Finally, CNN's Jake
Tapper talks to Tommy about the fate of his network now that its
parent company is for sale, the sham Pentagon press corps, and
his new book, "Race Against Terror: Chasing an Al Qaeda Killer at
the Dawn of the Forever War."
