Why Trump Is Mostly Decorating Lately w/ Jim Acosta
Video Overview & Insights
Jim Acosta & Molly Jong-Fast discuss how Republican senators like John Cornyn and Bernie Moreno are seen as bowing to Donald Trump instead of confronting him, even when faced with serious allegations involving Max Miller, whose conduct is described as abusive and disturbing; the speakers argue that Trump still controls the party because Republicans have given up their own power and moral backbone. They also broaden the critique to say Trumpās influence has created a party of cowardice and delay, especially when it comes to protecting his allies or punishing misconduct, while simultaneously suggesting he is in deep cognitive decline and increasingly disconnected from reality. The conversation ends by portraying Trump as incapable of handling major challenges, from war to governing, and as someone whose political strength masks a larger national crisis that Republicans refuse to address.
NDA's to cover up abuse should be illegal. It's so maddening.

All republicans who know right from wrong are long gone from the party

Let me say the Oval Office is by far one of the tackiest of the tacky. Its a combination flea market, swap meet, garage sale and TEMU combined. š Who was the genius who put together this room?
@EmergingUnicornWhatever, it's less harmful than anything else trump would be doing. Trump's early terrible decorating can be replaced with a sane human decorating theme in 2029.
@Hamish-f4bBut why? Because the American president is not a normal person. He is a sick psychotic maniak. That is why!
Stop trying to find a reason.
It's not a matter of courage it's a matter of doing the job. If a senator can't say no to a prospective AG who has brought vendictive prosecutions and stalled on the Epstein files what hope is there?
They simply don't want to torpedo a lobbying career after they leave office. The only way to return to law and order now is to take the money out of lobbying (I.e. do something to make it less effective) or for people in office to boycott lobbyists who come from a background of voting for political appointmentees who are not suitable just to benefit themselves.
A king doesnāt concern himself with worldly trivialities. Turning the White House into Versailles, if it were decorated by Bratva Liberace, now that is a task worthy if a king. /s
@CantankerousDavemore like Ignoring Doodies
@wjadam024Heās going to leave the biggest possible mess for the next president, just like before
@SharonVisser-u9sYou are assuming that Republicans had ethics before Donald Trump.
@thebreckenridgezone7907The reason that these Republican senators are so supine is that a person with a soul cannot win a Republican primary.
@StephenFlynn-xl2fwTrump is polling greater than ever...
... amongst white men
... with 3 teeth
... that dropped out of high school
... in Mississippi
I don't think it's a mystery. I think it's Trump's personal set of the UN-redacted Epstein Files! "We know what you did just a few Summers back, Senator, Congressman, Donor....And do you think the kids of all those men want Daddy outed? There's been an email found complimenting Epstein on a torture video, for heaven's sake! Blanch has surely provided his master with ALL the names, dates, and locations!
@Ddax-td7qyDon't anyone tell me the parties are the same,Franken, Platner,forced out over allegations, b ut repukelicans just look away!
@leshall3013We would have been better off with Biden. Even with his diminished abilities, he at least had capable & qualified staff to help run the country. Trump surrounds himself with idiots.
@bbybap4729Fucking cowards is right. They are all āSusan Collins.ā Pretending to take a stand, only to never take a stand.
@TrishJohnston-q2vJim Acosta! ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤
@Gratehouse2Misogyny and racism are foundational to white conservatism in general and MAGA in particular.
@georgerestonThank you Molly. Joe was sharp and it was the Dems who decided. It was a huge mistake. Joe would still be running circles around Trump.
@jen6319i gotta stop watching these ---- commiseration aint gonna get this criminal and his cabal out of our govt!!!!!!! oh to have snap elections as they do in europe!!!!!!!
@cskarbek1Didn't Max Miller warn Bernie Moreno that he would expose his homosexual affairs if he publicly defended his daughter? It seems to me that there was a report that Moreno had placed an ad on craigslist several years ago for young men to travel with.
@bowtoyoursensei554Jim mixes metaphors....lol
@tishanasimon7600Republicans: āMorality, whatās that?ā
Misogyny is catching up to racismā¦
We have a blueprint which gives us two courses of action to remove the president. We just donāt have a legislature that will read the constitutionā¦
@judithmccrea2601I worry that by 2028 America will have become something unrecognizable. We are a fairly lawless nation on the international front now. Nationally laws are only for those not in power. Will he leave office in two years? hmmm....
@ljett1849While I donāt condone his behavior, I celebrate Max Miller as the greatest gift to Ohioās Democratic Party for 2026
@sureiswindyThe souls have been bought and are in hell, dear leader the puppeteer with his Zionist mastersā¦ they are dragging the rest of us into a dystopian nightmare!
@michellenankervisComplicit Cowards
@tracydavenport724The explanation is right in front of you. Who has the last word in the United States??? šØāāļø
@TheresaMynattThump likes to posture as the big macho el presidente and war lord, but he also has this thing about flamboyant if not compulsive decorating. Hmmm ... maybe it's a case for the closeted side of his unconscious sexual impulses.
@WillyBluefieldSounds like the maga republicans and the traditional republicans better step aside now for the DSA now. When you are in a big republican tent, and two white establishment men cave to trump, itās pathetic. Move the fuck aside and let the young kids be in charge. It is time.
@Time2ski27Heās not leaving. He beats his wife and child, heās not going on his own will.
@TheresaMynattMitt Romney had a small amount of courage but had he not retired, he would be full MAGA too right now.
@crazycatmama2098š
@RichardLepleyDonald should beg Iran for mercy..Is that too far out of the box?
@salvatoreoddo-x9tIf you can call that sh** decorating
@mariannegiesler9159It will take America generations to repair
Trumpās damage of a few months
When you ride upon a tiger
You can never get off
They get hungry
Buckle up America
Welcome to summer
Things are going to get worse
Much, much worse
The government elected
Is the government deserved
- Jefferson
Oh America
King Trump will ensure
Americans never have a free election
While he reigns over
His American empire
These interviews with Molly go by so fast.
@BootBoy161Miller is a perfect example of why the GOP has become the incel coalition.
@AlistairBostromSenators who Support Toad Blanche are Aiding and abetting (a legal rule where a person helps, advises, or encourages someone else to commit a crime) the Trump Org. to commit TAX FRAUD.
@Jack-TruthSoSomolly, thank you for continuing to talk about the Unreality problem - it's insane that the majority of corporate media continues to ignore this - it should be front and center every single day
@GG_MochiTrump called Max Miller a "good person." Of course we are talking about the man who called Jeffrey Epstein a "terrific guy" who was "a lot of fun to be with." Takes one to approve of one, I guess.
@indigomahiraLook at the GOP still thinking it has a reputation to protect š
@veronicamaine3813Trump's 'unreality' problem has served him very well & made him very successful. š
@cody9419Donāt forget, Grampa didnāt come up with Greenland on his own. Some idiot is feeding ideas to the Chief Idiot.
@supermutantI read that headline as if Trump is decorating with Jim Acosta. Perhaps a comma?
