Did Trump Just Make The Misstep That Will Bring Him Down?
from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker
The Charlie Kirk memorial today marked the inflection point that MAGA believes the event of his assassination represented. As a result, the administration has ramped up its move against President Trump's opponents. Yesterday, Trump accidentally told the world that he is pushing the Attorney General Pam Bondi towards bringing prosecutions against key political figures. It could not be more blatant - but blatant is suddenly becoming the standard operating practice. Is MAGA mistaking the moment - thinking that Kirk's death has given them permission to go further and faster than they really have? Which is why suddenly even some of Trump's biggest supporters are looking alarmed at the real face that they're seeing? Let's discuss.
