Transcript: Trump Racist Tirade at Dems Bursts MAGA Post-Speech Bubble

He’s not moving away from right-wing nationalists, from Trumpism, from that whole set of ideologies. And that’s the problem they have right now.

Rosenberg: They had a decision to make before this speech: whether they would correct course and actually do things that would be good for the American people, because the things they are doing are harming us. Or if they were going to take the bullshit route to get their way, cheat in the election, have the Russians come in and do whatever they want to do. And they chose the second path. And that’s the decision they’ve made for now.

I don’t think, as you’ve heard, that the Republican candidates and those who want to win the 2026 elections and who are unsuccessful will be satisfied with this decision. I think they would have preferred a change of direction and actually done things that they can build on and that will help improve people’s lives. And Trump didn’t give them that last night. So I think we’re in a situation where we have to anticipate his growing desperation, his willingness to do extraordinary and dangerous things – like invade Iran without a real plan – because he knows that unless something fundamentally changes, we’re going to win the election, he’ll be subpoenaed and, as Mike Johnson said, basically his presidency is over. And they will do everything they can to prevent this from happening.

Sergeant: Well, Simon Rosenberg, I tend to agree that the Democrats seem to be in a strong position, but as you also pointed out, Trump has been in a worse situation before and he is surrounded by people who have won elections before. It’s always nice talking to you, man. I guess it’s going to get really interesting this year.
