Description

Trump leaves ice cream cartons, potato chip bags, and candy wrappers all over his personal space at the White House. His diet aside, his aides are working overtime to keep the state of his health a secret. And it turns out that his loss in 2020 made him more powerful: He didn't have to deal with post-Covid inflation and the withdrawal from Afghanistan. He also wouldn't have been prosecuted, which ultimately led to him getting his get-out-jail free card to break all the laws, courtesy of the Supreme Court. Maggie joins Tim to discuss some of the revelations in her new book, including the pardons Trump is promising and the relationship between POTUS and a young aide who writes him "raw" and "emotional" love notes. Oh, and Marco—who's having the time of his life—was the guy who set up the deal to send people to the gulag at CECOT.  Plus: Cam Kasky on why DSA candidates are resonating with voters and how things feel on the ground around Platner in Maine and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. Cameron Kasky and Maggie Haberman join Tim Miller.

I read the book. And I don’t think the story they told and the picture they painted could’ve been done justice in a real time reporting. Frankly, as a federal employee, I really appreciate this book in a different way than others might. I lived some of that chaos. The book told the full story start to finish—you can’t get that from real time reporting. Not everyone reads the same things, no do they read them on the same timeline order they happen in. They nailed the story. What’s more, their credibility and dedication to fact checking also helped me know I could trust what I read. Well done Maggie and Jonathan. 👏🏽

What about blowing up all those boats… killing folks they said were drug dealers? That was pretty horrific!

End the pardon, end Presidential immunity, end stock trade, end self dealing, and curb exec power and put Trumps cabinet on trial.

J. D. Vance is just conceding that corruption is more acceptable today. Is that what he wants to crow about? I'm just a retired line cook, but It blows me away that people at the top of our govt. are this shallow and void of ethics.

Presidential pardons are ridiculous. The next president needs to change that.

If I'd paid two million dollars for a pardon (the going rate), I'd be pissed if everybody else got one for free!!
