The Lincoln Project's Rick Wilson tells Molly Jong Fast Donald Trump had a very bad week, with Kimberly Guilfoyle asking to resign, a live execution being canceled, a press secretary being fired, and new controversy swirling around Rick Grinnell and possible money from the Democratic Republic of Congo for the Kennedy Center. The discussion also focused on Trump’s apparent decline, his disinhibited and increasingly unfiltered comments, the backlash over switching off Starlink to Ukraine, and concerns that he is putting the United States on the side of Vladimir Putin. The transcript also highlighted anger among voters, heroic efforts by students marching miles to vote, criticism of social media platforms like Meta and TikTok for cracking down on certain accounts, and worries that tech oligarchs and donors like Elon Musk are trying to shape politics behind the scenes.

What Trump And Elon Are Secretly Plotting w/ Rick Wilson

Ali Velshi discusses Donald Trump’s latest press secretary, saying she seemed uncomfortable and unqualified for the role, and uses that as an example of the administration’s recurring incompetence and chaotic decision-making. He then shifts to data centers, describing them as noisy, resource-hungry, heavily subsidized by tax breaks, and often welcomed without enough public scrutiny, while arguing that the real issue is crony capitalism and regulatory capture by the richest tech and AI interests. The conversation moves into the midterm map, where he says Democrats are in a strong position in many races despite heavy Republican spending, though Senate control remains an uphill battle with key contests in places like Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Maine, Ohio, Texas, and Alaska. He also raises questions about how these results could affect Chuck Schumer’s standing, noting that even a Democratic Senate victory could bring internal party tensions over leadership and influence.
