The Week in TrumpLand: The Trump Camp Fails From Iran to Ukraine-Russia to Canada
I joined international outlets on Thursday and Friday to discuss Donald Trump’s attempt to buy votes in forthcoming US mid-term elections.
At the Republican “mid-term convention”, Trump offered $5,000 to each American adult if the Republicans hold both houses of Congress.
I highlight that the stunt is not legally, politically, or economically viable. But beyond Trump’s egotistical posturing, I emphasize the wider significance.
If Trump thought Republicans were going to do well in the elections, would he have needed to offer a bribe to voters?

In a 23-minute discussion on the Saudi outlet, I detail the serious problems facing the Trumpists amid failures on the economy, immigration, health care, and the War on Iran.
Then I dismantle the fact-free Red-baiting of Trump activist Rob Arlett.
