Ep 2: A Trump’s Best Friend

While Lindsey Graham spent most of the 2016 campaign excoriating Trump as a toxic demagogue, he began transforming into his chief apologist after the election—in an effort to influence Trump on national security and foreign policy. But to get Trump to stand up to tyrants overseas, the senator soon found himself willing to compromise on rule of law at home.

The sequel as always worse than the 1st episode, I wish the anti-anti Trump folks would listen to this. I hope your Grievance for buying 6.99 eggs was worth selling out on democracy. Better start saving now tariffs are expensive.

In fact we wondered what happened to the Republican party? Good people at one time, Now seem like traders to democracy. Thank you for putting this together. I’m sad at the lost of backbone. I might add I’ve been watching your YouTube channel lately. Thank you for the humor along with this seriousness.
Brilliant analysis
