## Resource

This weekend’s political chaos tour begins with Donald’s appearance on Fox State TV’s Special Report with Bret Baier, where he defended controversial remarks about Iran and reflected on his recent trip to China amid growing economic and global tensions. Mary Trump also breaks down Education Secretary Linda McMahon openly discussing plans to shut down the Department of Education, alongside Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche reviving false 2020 election claims despite years of investigations disproving widespread fraud. From election denialism to growing extremism inside the GOP, this latest political roundup captures another surreal weekend in American politics.
