Transcript:
Today, we look at a presidency that is unraveling in real time.
We have new polling that shows Americans are rejecting almost everything that the Trump administration is doing across the board, with a majority saying that the country is on the wrong track, out of control, and that Trump himself is dangerous.
It’s not just polling. We also saw markets plunge yesterday as Trump ranted and threatened allies and picked new fights, including a now unhinged obsession with Iceland. Sorry, Greenland. That’s the mistake Trump made during his speech in Davos today, calling it Iceland instead of Greenland. He doesn’t even know what country he’s trying to steal.
And then there is the rambling and the confusion and the bizarre answers to basic questions. And it’s gotten so bad that there is now a former Trump Press Secretary saying that he needs a psychiatric evaluation.
We will speak to Maryland Governor Wes Moore and see how he has been in his preparing to deal with ICE and other Trump-based calamities, and we will also talk about the consequences of this administration piling up, including what that means for our relationships with large swaths of the world.
What a show. I suggest we record this one.
