Rick Wilson, "the Cassandra of the Republican Party," spent thirty years as a Republican strategist and is now one of Trump's loudest critics. We cast an eye over our own politics and connect the dots between Trump and Farage: the money, the media tactics and the networks behind them.
We ask why Trump inspires a "grudging admiration for the evil that he's done," who the "three large components" behind the throne are, why JD Vance is no Gerald Ford, and why European leaders are trying to keep Trump "parked in neutral."
Then there's Trump's relationship with Putin, and why Rick thinks the damage it has done is underestimated. He also names the "two great cover-ups," and suggests manipulated mid-term elections could put America's second foot through the door of fascism.
But all is not lost. Rick, after all, is "a ray of sunshine.”
