Can Governance Survive Manufactured Crisis? An Administration Untethered
It’s been another chaotic and revealing week in the administration, from Donald’s bluster at the World Economic Forum in Davos and his demands over Greenland to a familiar retreat that leaves everything unchanged. Mary examines the pattern of manufactured crises, the officials tasked with defending them, and the growing disconnect between power and reality — from J.D. Vance and Kristi Noem’s one-sided vision of law and order to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s out-of-touch comments on retirement. As always, we break down the rhetoric, expose the double standards, and mock the absurdity along the way.It's Trump Trolls Trump, Week 52. Please send comments/[email protected] Hosted on Acast.
