Simon takes you through the big events of an eventful week in US politics, beginning with a 'chastened' Elon Musk announcing he will be stepping back from his role leading the Department for Government Efficiency. A for the President himself, his approval ratings are in trouble - but as Simon explains - he 'continues to double down'. And what of his Vice President? JD Vance has 'nothing to say' to the wife of Mr Abrego Garcia, recently deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador. But the response from the Democrats? Decidedly timid. As Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Bernie Sanders speak at packed out rallies, Senator Chuck Schumer is not exactly impressing the American public. Congressional Democrats have lower approval ratings than even President Trump himself... As Trump jets off to Rome with a barb at Joe Biden, the American public bid farewell to another turbulent week.
