Since returning to office, Donald has used the power of the federal government to try to reshape how Americans register to vote, how states maintain voter rolls, how mail ballots are handled, and who oversees elections. At the same time, Donald continues to insist that American elections are vulnerable to being rigged or stolen. These stories sometimes make headlines, but corporate media rarely connects the dots. Taken together, they show how claims about election fraud have become the basis for an expanding federal role in elections traditionally administered by states.

With the midterms just days away, Donald is crisscrossing the country at a feverish pace, delivering increasingly bizarre campaign speeches, promising $5,000 dividend checks, and bragging about polls that are now telling a very different story. Meanwhile, his rallies are becoming showcases for hecklers, outrageous claims, and some truly uncomfortable moments. JD Vance lectures Americans about government fraud, Pete Hegseth's staff destroys a historic Eisenhower globe, and Melania apparently has a new mission: negotiating peace between Russia and Ukraine. From imaginary payouts to questionable priorities, the absurdity never stops. It's Trump Trolls Trump, Week 92.
Mary Trump SLAMS Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy over a $4 million attack ad and reveals the family trauma behind Donald's destructive brand of cruelty. From his upbringing in a family that prized domination and viewed weakness with contempt to his admiration for authoritarian leaders, Donald's obsession with power and intimidation has shaped his entire political identity. As the midterm elections approach, Donald and his Republican allies are increasingly turning to cruelty, fear, and intimidation. Mary exposes the psychology behind these tactics, the dangerous consequences for American democracy, and why Donald's greatest fear may be losing the power he has spent his entire life trying to protect.
With the midterms approaching and Republicans facing mounting political pressure, Donald Trump is taking his increasingly bizarre campaign speeches into traditionally Republican territory. But instead of focusing on the issues facing voters, Donald seems far more interested in talking about himself. From evaluating the physical appearance of Republican candidates to admiring the beautiful women attending his rallies, wondering where their husbands have gone, and admitting that even terrible people can win him over with enough flattery, Donald's speeches offer a revealing look at his priorities. Mary brings together the most outrageous moments, the rambling word salad, and the relentless self-praise in another episode of The Breakdown, where Donald's own words tell the story better than anyone else could.
Mary joins Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell on The Rest Is Politics: Leading for a revealing conversation about the cruelty behind Donald’s rise to power, his betrayal of Ukraine, his ties to Vladimir Putin, and the corruption threatening American democracy.
