The Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson tells Molly Jong Fast Donald Trump had a very bad week, with Kimberly Guilfoyle asking to resign, a live execution being canceled, a press secretary being fired, and new controversy swirling around Rick Grinnell and possible money from the Democratic Republic of Congo for the Kennedy Center. The discussion also focused on Trump’s apparent decline, his disinhibited and increasingly unfiltered comments, the backlash over switching off Starlink to Ukraine, and concerns that he is putting the United States on the side of Vladimir Putin. The transcript also highlighted anger among voters, heroic efforts by students marching miles to vote, criticism of social media platforms like Meta and TikTok for cracking down on certain accounts, and worries that tech oligarchs and donors like Elon Musk are trying to shape politics behind the scenes.

Someone needs to remove the ORANGE!
We've had Hamilton the musical when is Putin the Musical comong out.Who will play Trump?
Rick's smile just gets bigger For us Dems if we win big amd I mean If we will enjoy it but not as much as Rick.
They are not going to give up power. They accuse others of what their plans are.
None of you will listen. You all made this bed
MUSK is NOTtrustworthy!
MUSK companies are NOT trustworthy!
Depending on MUSK companies is NOT safe!
If they won’t prosecute the criminals then we need a no Dems march
I took Xanax (prescribed) before dental surgery and walked past the dental office and started heading downtown before my ride intercepted me, but I was gakked out of my mind on drugs – what's Trump's excuse?
What a corrupt and cruel country the US has shown itself to be! Vile!
Cut the caffeine just a wee bit Rick.
In 2020 the Democrats had a 1 vote advantage in the senaye. They had Manchin and Seinie. I wznt to know what the democrats could have done? I what to know what they are going to do. Now.
Those kids marching to vote made me cry! It's their future at stake. Go vote!!!❤ Let's strip the oligarchs from all the money and power they DO NOT deserve!
He's rotting. He has been for 4-5 years. However you look at it, Drumpft is a BFer.
"The president of the United States of America is not a well man and nearly everyone knows it."
Watching trump walk off into the field, I was wondering why he wasn't looking for his golf cart since he must be heading for a tee time!
Oligarchs think Dems will never have power again & that there'll never be accountability bcuz they HACK ELECTIONS! They were probably in on what happened in 2024!
What is this show — a political gossip hour? Americans needs more facts and less bs, cussing and antics. Thanks.
Trump looks bad and smells bad !!! 🤧💩🦨
I blame Congress and the Republicans on the Supreme Court. This Supreme Court is disgusting and they aren't doing their job.
"Secretly Plotting" implies the guy who orchestrated Jan6th on Twitter, hoarded top secret documents to pass around at his house parties, jumps thru hoops for putin, appeared in the epstein files more times than god, jesus, and the holy spirit are mentioned in the bible, and had sex with the devil on national television. To imply that HE has any ability to SECRETLY PLAN ANYTHING sort of discredits this shows. 😂
Reportedly, a small cadre of late teenage boys were trafficked by Epstein. One of whom was later found murdered.
I’m sorry, ma’am, but your voice is insufferable
Watching those kids march to the polling place kind of choked me up. It really gives me hope
We are at the end of the world….. Trump Putin and Netanyahu are evil and they are destroying mankind
The star link replacements are already in the works.
I am hearing that they are removing mail boxes and pad locking mail slots so people have to go into the post office to mail their ballots. Isn't this illegal.
Don't harp (No pun intended) on the 80 years old thing, please. There are countless 80-year-olds who are sound of mind. Rump is not of sound mind but it's not because he's 80 years old. There are other reasons.
Any time these two want to re-start their podcast would be good for me.
OMG — Rick, please stop interrupting Molly!!!!
My internet bill would go down if I switched to Starlink. I won't do it! I don't care how much I pay for internet.
Can we please stop calling college students and college-aged people "kids." They aren't "kids"; they are young adults. They are old enough to vote, take out loans and be drafted.
Space X needs to be nationalized. I mean, this is bullshit.
If POTUS is gay, so what? I want the Epstein files released.
The crazy part is Darlene Graham will win SC. We live in Idiocracy.
As an older Gen-Xer who lived through a chunk of the Cold War, I did not have "the US and Russia forming the new Axis of Evil in my lifetime" on my bingo card.
Boycott Zuckerberg, cancel your FB , I see alot of people are doing this
@TheDemocrats #EatTheRich or we'll eat you. Keep in mind all the WATER Data Centers use-we'll have no food or water. Everywhere Data Centers are going up will be a polluted wasteland-devoid of farms, animals, trees, vegetation & people. And who pays for whole communities all over the country to relocate? And WHERE do they go? @SenatorWhitehouse @SenChrismurphy @ElizabethWarren @BernieSanders And WHY is no one talking about this FACT? The Town Counsel in my daughter's farming community in GA wants a data Center there & are telling people they're working on the electricity consumption. The thing is-b/c they're always in a drought & only allotted so many gallons of water per day & the Data Center will use a lot more than what they're allotted-so what happens to the people & farms? What happens to food production? This is an existential crisis & y'all act like it's only about the cost of energy to run them! We have no one to harvest food & the answer to this is to kill whole communities & their food production by stealing their water?
He’s swearing a lot too. Dementia
Speaking gay and swearing. Now he talks about them at other rallies. 😂
2 more women gone.
