Summary
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fm Donald Trump has lost his grip, and it’s making him prone to a variety of political errors, some of which we enjoy with pure schadenfreude, others of which could cause tremendous collateral damage. In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss: * What if anything makes Marjorie Taylor Greene’s early exit from the House of Representatives different from past Trump purges? * Why did he blow up his party’s big plan to make Zohran Mamdani the face of the Democratic Party? * How on Earth does it make sense for him to pick a fight with, and try to court martial, an extremely popular astronaut war hero? Then, for paid subscribers, should we be careful what we wish for? After blowing the vindictive prosecutions of James Comey and Letitia James, should Mark Kelly put himself in harms way and demand his day in military court? Should Democrats be even bolder and clearer about Trump’s general commitment to illegal conduct, and his the specific illegality of his policy toward Venezuela? Is he really just going to blunder us into a destabilizing and terribly unpopular war there? All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed. Further reading: * Brian notes that MAGA disarray will paradoxically make Trump and his loyalists more determined to mount a coup d’etat . * Matt argues against the Strange New Respect on the left for Marjorie Taylor Greene . * Brian’s conversation with Pat Dennis about public opinion formation .
