About this episode

The episode discusses the liberal establishment's changed perception of Trump during his second term compared to his first, particularly in relation to military actions.

Have you noticed how the liberal establishment hasn't been nearly as emotional and outraged about Trump's second term as they were about his first? Now that he's the president who bombed Iran, the entire western political/media class is cool with him. Reading by Tim Foley.
