Am I the only one who thinks that Donald Trump is panicking?

Hey, welcome to a new episode of To the Contrary podcast.

I'm Charlie Sykes.

We're going to do something a little bit different because it's just going to be me and it's just going to be you today. I'm going to answer

as many questions from subscribers as I can. I cannot promise I'm going to get to all of them,

but it's kind of a free fire zone. And frankly, I haven't even decided which ones I've

going to answer yet. So, hey, before I do that, could I just remind viewers of this YouTube video or listeners to the podcast

that you can get free, ad-free versions of all of this by going to my Substack page.

And if you have not subscribed, to the contrary is my daily newsletter through Substack. And it's part of what I think is the increasingly important independent media out there.

I am very, very gratified by its growth.

I try to keep up with the most important things that are happening every day.

I describe it as your daily dose of sanity, your daily reminder that

we are not really the crazy one. So if you have not signed up for it, please, please do so.

It is completely free. Look, I understand that a lot of the substacks have paywalls, and I don't

have a problem with it. I do not have a paywall, but I do rely upon

the kindness of strangers. Right now about, I would say, less than 10% of the readers, the daily

readers of the subject stack actually pay for it, which is kind of an interesting business model

when you think about it. And again, I don't have a problem with that because it is free and you

cannot save democracy behind a paywall no matter what

you say you are doing. On the other hand, keeping up with Donald Trump is a full-time job.

I am committed to doing it and to and being here for the duration. But in order to do that,

you know, those of you who do support my work are incredibly valuable to me.
