Beyond Politics Republican Insider's Letter to Trump: You're F$%^ing This Up
This week on Political Rehab, we break down one of the worst, most deranged stretches of the Trump presidency yet — and why even Republicans (like Wylie) are saying privately (and sometimes publicly) that the President is “screwing this up.”
We kick things off with our weekly Trump Dump, where the big story is Trump threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy U.S. troops to Minneapolis in response to protests over his ICE crackdown. As Wylie puts it: masked ICE agents dragging U.S. citizens off the street and shooting Americans isn’t “law and order” — it’s a constitutional crisis.
Then we hit:
Trump’s botched attempt to launch a criminal probe into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, which triggered global market panic, GOP backlash, and international condemnation.
A wave of federal prosecutors resigning from the DOJ after being ordered to investigate…the victim of a police shooting and her widow.
A jaw-dropping round of economic gaslighting (no, groceries are not cheaper) and administration messaging blunders.
The latest foreign policy absurdity — including a bizarre conflict brewing over Greenland.
The right-wing crackdown on dissent, from raiding journalists to subpoenaing the Clintons in the Epstein saga.
And Trump’s sudden interest in capping credit card rates at 10% — why it might save consumers money but also why it’s pure political desperation theater.
We wrap with Good Idea / Bad Idea, a brutal new That’s Bullshit segment, and a surprisingly heartwarming Dose of Hope featuring Marco Rubio memes and China’s favorite Trump impersonator.
