The latest Nir & Rupar features Aaron and special guest Paul Waldman going deep on how Trump bungled his way into a way of choice that’s becoming more and more of a political albatross as it becomes clear he has no idea what he’s doing.
Waldman — who does fantastic work as a Public Notice contributor, including a piece from last month that has already aged extremely well about Trump’s failure to sell the public on his Iran misadventure — explains Trump’s failures in the context of George W. Bush’s propaganda efforts surrounding the Iraq War (which look sophisticated by comparison). We also discussed what Waldman thinks about how low Trump’s approval numbers could go this year, the political media landscape in light of Pete Hegseth’s disconcerting comments about CNN’s ownership situation, Democratic strategy heading into the midterms, and much more.
I hope you enjoy the conversation, and if you’d like to ask us questions live during next Friday’s Nir & Rupar — we took a number of them this week — please become a paid subscriber.
