Sean Duffy Blasted After Announcing 7 Month Road Trip He Took With His Family

Good thing our Transportation Secretary doesn't have anything else to do with his time.

Try to imagine a Democrat announcing this on Fox and what their reaction would be:

Former Fox News contributor Sean Duffy revealed that he spent seven months making a reality show while serving the country as Secretary of Transportation.

In a Friday interview on Fox News, Duffy and his wife, Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy, announced their new program called "The Great American Road Trip."

According to Campos-Duffy, the couple initially planned to use their iPhones to film a family vacation before it turned into a full-blown reality show.

The Great American Road Trip website indicated that the effort was sponsored by corporations like Boeing, Toyota, Shell, Google, Comcast, and United Airlines.

It was not immediately clear how much the Duffys were paid for their participation in the reality show.

Duffy was torched on social media.

Wtf?

If Sean Duffy was goofing off on a road trip for 7 months, then who the heck was running the department of transportation?

You can't hate the Trump regime enough.

Sean Duffy Scolds Child For Yawning During His Speech

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was making comments to schoolchildren from Washington D.C. and Philadelphia when suddenly he singled out one child for yawning.

The Trump administration is using kids once again as a photo op to glorify Trump's birthday by using America's 250th anniversary as cover.

This time it was during Amtrak's unveiling of its Freedom 250 Acela train. Duffy had the kids ride with him for its inaugural ride from Washington Union Station to 30th Street Station in Philadelphia.

Duffy proudly said he's fattening up the kids with soda and chips and sandwiches. At least they weren't given McDonald's fish fillets. Nothing even vaguely healthy for these kids!

DUFFY: Secretary Brigham couldn't be here but we're looking forward to a great day.

I want to thank you all I want to thank the kids -- there's no yawning in this -- we don't yawn -- we're gonna be thrilled to be here so let's go let's go check this great city out in our great history.

Children are not allowed to be children and instead must always be thrilled to be in the presence of a Trump official.

It would be nice if he spent more time working on the bankruptcies, collisions, near misses and jet fuel crisis in our airline industry.

Majority Of Republicans Think Trump Would Beat Them In A Fight

In the highly scientific poll, YouGov asked such questions as:

"Who do you think would win in a physical fight between you and Donald Trump?"

"Who do you think would win in a physical fight between an eight-year-old boy and Donald Trump?"

While a majority of Republicans thought Trump could beat them up, when split by sex and party identification, 71% of Democratic women said they'd win, and 54% thought the 8-year-old would beat up Trump.

Source: YouGov

This week, at a White House event about physical fitness, Donald Trump asked a boy, "You think you could take me in a fight?"

We at YouGov thought that was a striking question, and promptly asked 2,609 Americans whether they thought an eight-year-old boy, a typical American, and themselves could win a physical fight with Trump.

66% of U.S. adults say an average American would beat Trump, while 10% say Trump would win.

On all three questions, Democrats are far less likely than Republicans to say Trump would win. For example, almost all Democrats say they could win a fight with Trump (75%, while only 5% say Trump would win), but Republicans are slightly more likely to say they'd lose than win (33% vs. 39%).

Democrats are more likely to say an eight-year-old boy could beat Trump than Republicans are to think they could beat Trump (54% vs. 33%).

Hassett's Hot Take: Racking Up Credit Card Debt To Buy Gas Is Economic Strength

White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett's Fox Business interview is peak administration spin: "Credit card spending is through the roof... they're spending more on gasoline and everything else!" delivered with that smug grin, of course.

Hassett thinks maxed-out cards signal booming confidence instead of households leaning on plastic to cover higher prices for basics. He was so close to acknowledging the obvious pressure on consumers (rising costs forcing more borrowing). Still, he landed on a sunny interpretation instead, even as Americans struggle in an unaffordable economy.

"In fact, I had the head of one of the big five banks in my office yesterday going through the credit card data, and just as Secretary Besant said, credit card spending is through the roof," Hassett said before putting a sunshine-y spin on it.

"They're spending more on gasoline, but they're spending more on everything else, too," he continued. "And so in terms of the jobs picture for the rest of the year, you know, it's really hard to see having the unemployment rate go up, for example. "It's probably going to drop a little bit, but it's already very close to full employment."
