It’s not any one issue. Trump had a systemic problem in which he was easily fooled by the bureaucrats he put around him who convinced him to defy his own convictions and screw over his base. Today, we explore this thesis through the timeline of how Trump screwed over his base on crime and COVID. In light of Rand Paul’s staffer getting attacked by a man released under Trump’s First Step Act, I reconstruct how Trump shut out his supporters and joined with the bad guys to accomplish for the Left what it couldn’t do on its own. Later, we’re joined by Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute, who shows that it was the same modus operandi that was used to get Trump to support COVID fascism and get his base to stand down. Tucker leaves no doubt as to the facts of how Trump owns lockdowns and everything about COVID. He warns about the need for restoration and healing from COVID fascism; otherwise we will face “techno-primitivism” aka a life of hell. Tucker sums up the problem with Trump: Whatever is put in front of him is the whole of his reality at any given moment. Unfortunately, those placing the policy food on his plate are often not our people.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
