Trump knows his enemies

This week’s guest, Tim Miller, has spent the last 8 years spending a lot of time exploring the darkest recesses of Donald Trump’s brain. His book ‘Why We Did It: A Travelogue from the Republican Road to Hell’ lyrically and hilariously lays out the experience of the Republican party’s fall into Trumpism from the inside. Now he watches and helps explain the battle for the GOP for millions.

He watched this weeks Trump interview with Bret Baier with a discerning eye and saw some fascinating moments that show Trump knows he’s in trouble but will never back down. He also is still the deeply broken man he’s always been. He may not even recognize his own policies like the idea of executing drug dealers but he knows the absolute minutia of his enemies like Ron DeSantis.

This entire conversation is eye opening and funny as we discuss Trump, DeSantis, and how Republican messaging works so well and the Democrats are incapable of matching the machine. Check it out now or tonight on the MeidasTouch Network at 11:00 PM ET.
