Description

Tom Nichols joins Tim Miller for a very special LIVE edition of The Bulwark Podcast at 3pm ET. We’re still at war with Iran, and it’s still not going well. Meanwhile, the president is laser-focused on the most important responsibility of the commander-in-chief: putting out insane social media bleats at all hours of the night. And make no mistake, he *really* doesn’t care how much it costs you to fill your car with gas. Plus, it’s time to be asking whether Trump is so crazy that he’ll nuke Iran.

Trump said to MAGA "I don't care about you, I only want your vote". And they voted for him.

Congress could end this today. Their inaction to even do the job they are paid for, to control the executive officer, to be deciding war powers, to remove a person who is obviously ill in body and mind, is beyond failure to do right by the country.

Because owning a Lib is more important than dealing with a mentally ill President.

The problem isn't Trump - it's the republican senators and representatives who are enabling him. You guys should start publicly getting on their individual cases, over and over again. Call them out, hold them accountable for their failure to impeach him.

I was an RN for 48 years and if the hematomas on trump's hands aren't from some sort of IV med administration, I shouldn't have a BSN degree. His mental state is obviously terrible, his memory is shot and confabulatory, and his physical state is obviously very poor. The Republican MDs in the Senate should be sued for malpractice, because the decline is obvious.

The treason accusations are projection. Trump is a literal traitor.

It's just fucking unbelievable!! That anyone is allowing this to go on is insane. Not to mention how frighteningly scary! He's out of his mind.

I think the next time Trump is out in public, like a big sports event, the crowd should chant, " Obama. Obama. Obama. "
