Transcript:
Donald Trump’s inner circle is in full panic mode, trying to cover up what is becoming impossible to ignore. And Lara Trump is one of those people in full propaganda mode on TV, insisting Trump is just sharper than ever. He’s never been sharper, even as his Davos performance was confused, and low energy, and globally mocked.
We are going to break down the psychology of this kind of cult-level myth making and why it signals fear.
Then a female reporter asked Trump basic foreign policy questions, and he implodes. He can’t explain, why did you invite warmonger Vladimir Putin to an event about peace? When he’s asked about buying Greenland, a ship that has long sailed now, he freezes and gives a meaningless answer. Performative geopolitics, yes, but demented as well? We will discuss.
Plus, the United States facing a major measles outbreak. Anti-vax politics are a huge part of the story. Hundreds of cases, quarantines, isolation, schools affected. We were done with measles in the year 2000, and it is back. It is back again.
We’re also going to look at polling that shows 71 percent of Americans believe the country is out of control. But is it out of control because of Trump, or is Trump the guy who they believe is going to get it back under control?
And then a Fox guest admits the truth about the blanket tariffs. Surprise, they’re not good.
All of that and more today.
Don’t miss the full show with these stories and others, plus all of our analysis.
