It's Monday, May 18th.
I'm Jane Koston,
and this is What A Day,
a show enjoying this response from former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg
to current Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's corporate road trip reality show adventure.
Here's Buttigieg on CNN Sunday discussing the time he, too, took a road trip.
I love road trips.
I love America.
I actually took a taxpayer-funded road trip lasting about seven months.
It was in Afghanistan.
Sean Duffy, of course, never went to Afghanistan,
but he did spend time as a lumberjack before going on the real-world Boston,
where he compared a black woman to Hitler.
On today's show, President Donald Trump continues to threaten Iran via social media.
How presidential.
And Trump debuts a new superlative for one of his critics, the worst Republican congressman in history.
Place your bets on who that might be in the comments.
But let's start with happiness, or a lack thereof.
It's easy to say that Americans have not exactly been cheerful for the last few years.
It's even showing up in the data.
