Trump's A+++++ Affordability Message

Donald Trump holds a campaign-style rally to hit his
affordability message: making fun of the very idea of an
affordability message, and telling parents to buy their kids
fewer dolls. And when asked by Politico what grade he’d give the
economy right now, he answers: “A+++++.” Jon and Dan discuss how
Trump’s communications effort is landing and then turn to the
rest of the news, including Indiana Republicans’ decision to
reject a new Trump-backed congressional map, Trump’s
jaw-droppingly low approval rating in a new AP poll, and
Democrats’ continued fight to extend Affordable Care Act
subsidies before they expire at the end of the year. Then, Rep.
Adam Smith, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services
Committee, talks to Jon about the administration’s seizure of an
oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela and the illegality of the
strikes on boats in the Caribbean—including what Smith saw when
the Pentagon showed him the video of the infamous double tap
strike.
