At age 80, Donald Trump became the second-oldest president in US history on Sunday. And to celebrate his victory, he hosted a UFC cage fight on the White House lawn. Justin, Anthony and Mariana join Matt Chorley on 5 Live to discuss how the UFC Independence 250 event has been received in the US. Was it a money trap or a celebration of all things American? Did Trump actually fall asleep part way through the show and say something about his ability to do the job? Also, what does Trump’s deal on Iran mean — and is it different from the pre-war situation? The president called the New York Times on Sunday and criticized Netanyahu as “a very difficult man.” Do the American people think the negotiation process is viable? Also, who is Jon Ossoff, and could he be the presidential candidate for 2028? The team answers your questions about Democrats ahead of the Georgia primary. And with the World Cup underway and the New York Knicks winning the NBA title for the first time in over a century, the team pulled off something that had sports fans talking.
