Trump's Plan: "Hostage Video With Balloons"
About this episode
The episode discusses Trump's financial gains from crypto, Republican strategies for the midterms, and significant Supreme Court rulings affecting political power and citizenship.
Trump made $2 billion while his own crypto investors lost their shirts — and that's just the opening story. This week on Political Rehab, Republican strategist Matt Wylie calls his own party's Trump-branded midterm convention plan "a hostage video with balloons," the Supreme Court hands Trump sweeping new power to fire independent regulators, Clarence Thomas drops a 91-page dissent warning he'll come for birthright citizenship again, and a campaign finance ruling quietly hands Republicans what Matt Robison calls "a billion-dollar hammer" heading into the midterms. Plus: this week's Battlefield midterm dashboard, and two very different doses of hope.Political Rehab is the show where PTI meets The Daily Show — one Republican strategist, one former Democratic Hill staffer, no scripts, no spin, just the week's biggest political stories argued out loud.🔔 Subscribe for new episodes every week.📩 Read Matt Robison's political analysis on Substack: https://worthknowing.substack.com📺 More Worth Knowing content: @worthknowing-mattrobisonTIMESTAMPS:0:00 – Cold open1:00 – Trump's $2B crypto windfall while investors lose big3:00 – Republicans' Dallas…
