Washington Week with The Atlantic

@washingtonweekpbs

What was the rationale behind Trump's Wednesday night speech? @jonathankarl.bsky.social: "He's taken a lot of heat for the state of the economy. He sees it. He reads the polls' numbers. He watches the news coverage. He's upset about it, so he thought he could go out there and kind of undo it."

"In terms of the economic piece of this, there is a real awareness that this is a big political, a domestic political problem staring them in the face, that even if, let's say, the war wraps up next week, this is not going to be solved economically immediately," said @michellelprice.bsky.social.

What does it mean to nationalize an election? "I think for Trump, it means to go in there and run the elections in states and localities that he's lost," said @jonathankarl.bsky.social. "He's talking about some sense of a federal takeover of the way the elections are run."

"I don't think we should underestimate Trump's ability to at least try to declare victory just out of the blue," said Missy Ryan. "There really is the reality of continued strife that could, you know, bring down the kind of economic reality that I think is more resonant for him."

Stephen Hayes: "It has been widely reported that Donald Trump was down on [Tulsi Gabbard], and there's nothing you can do if you are in Trump’s orbit that will get you back in his good graces sooner and faster than going and supporting his crazy arguments about the 2020 election having been stolen."

"What's been so striking is how many of those very same Republicans who were calling for the release of the files, had promised to get to the bottom of them, are now saying things that are just the opposite," said Stephen Hayes.

"A lot of these [Project 2025] authors came from the first Trump administration," said @dgraham.bsky.social. "So their idea was to put together this vision for sort of maximalist executive power. ... To establish a very socially conservative vision of America."

"Karoline Leavitt said that what the president actually meant was that he was supporting the Save Act," said @elizlanders.bsky.social. "But [Trump] ... continued to double down on his own statement about nationalizing the election even after she said that's not really what he meant."

"I can say that the administration is still trying to limit the objectives and not make this look like an endless war, but it's been a mess in terms of the messaging of what this actually looks like, what an endgame actually looks like," said @markmazzetti.bsky.social.

"You're taking the people writ large who had the absolute lowest approval rating in the country: journalists, members of Congress, and often the President. You are putting them in a ballroom. You are dressing them up. You are feeding them … filet and lobster," said @ashleyrparker.bsky.social.

Personal attacks on judges are dangerous. That is clear. But calling it general “criticism” misses something important. There is specific rhetoric targeting judges as corrupt or compromised when rulings do not align politically. That has consequences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTx8Uh9SJMw

Happy Trump Taco Tuesday to all those who celebrate! Trump has raised your prices for a war in Iran and what did we get from it?! Trump agreeing to Iran’s 10 point plan and letting Iran turn the straight of Hormuz into a toll road. The Trump Presidency is a joke.
