Jim Acosta discusses Donald Trump’s ongoing war with the press, recalling how his own press pass was revoked and later restored, and argues that Trump is now using attacks on journalism, democracy, and symbolic power moves to distract from unpopular policies and weak poll numbers. He says Trump is in a desperate and dangerous place, surrounded by sycophants rather than serious advisors, while Republicans in key races are distancing themselves from him. Acosta also warns that the administration’s behavior—from naming buildings after Trump to controversial projects and confrontations with institutions—feels unstable, like the kind of moment when serious political and economic problems could quickly get worse.
