Plans A, B & C: Is Trump Planning to Weaponize the National Guard, ICE, and the Ballot Box This Fall? And This Summer?
About this episode
Paul Rieckhoff discusses Trump's potential strategies involving the National Guard, ICE, and the ballot box amidst current events.
It has been a wild, weird, harrowing week — Iran, ICE in Minneapolis, a UFC fight at the White House, the Knicks in the playoffs, and a president who keeps telling you out loud what he plans to do next. In this special Friday pop-media episode, Paul Rieckhoff brings you his weekly conversation from MS Now and breaks down what he's calling Trump's Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C: weaponize the National Guard, weaponize ICE, and weaponize the ballot box. It's not speculation. Trump has said it. Steve Bannon has said it. The reporting backs it up. And Congress — by Paul's read — has stopped exactly nothing.
