Susan Glasser: Trump’s Industrial-Scale Lies

from The Bulwark Podcast · host The Bulwark

For just under two hours, Trump in his State of the Union address lied about the state of the economy, the cost of living, his tariffs, and even his immigration policy—claiming that he favors legal immigration while his armed, masked goons grab and imprison people who followed the law. And if Americans didn’t hear Trump discuss any real policy proposals in speech, it might be because he’s a bit distracted with his quest to capture more media outlets, including his longtime nemesis, CNN. Trump’s attempt to silence dissent has become the signature of his presidency. Plus, the paradoxes and conflicting signals on Iran, the sellout of bipartisan support for Ukraine, Vance finally has a job as VP, and POTUS only allows robotically remixed, Fox fever-dream women in his Cabinet.Susan Glasser joins Tim Miller.show notes Susan's column on the SOTU Susan on Trump's attacks on free speech Josh Barro's new pod, "Central Air" Tickets are now on sale for our LIVE shows in Dallas on March 18 and in Austin on March 19.
