Summary
Donald’s Villages speech leans on “affordability,” but the message quickly falls apart, capped by an odd “I have all the cards” post. On the Sunday shows, officials dodge on rising gas prices and the Spirit Airlines collapse, shifting blame as questions grow about broader economic fallout. And in a striking exchange, the Acting Attorney General is pressed on whether political speech like the Comey seashell post or “86” merchandise could face prosecution.

| 1:08.6 | Over the weekend, Donald spoke at the Villages in Florida. |
| 1:12.2 | The Villages is an almost exclusively white, fairly wealthy, part of the state. |
| 1:20.4 | And Donald was there to address a crowd of mostly senior supporters in what was billed as a policy speech, but as is almost always the case |
| 1:31.0 | with him felt much more like a campaign rally. He spoke about a new word he's learned. Or maybe he's |
