Trump has become a template for a whole planet full of bad-faith actors and wannabe strongmen, MSNBC political analyst @mehdirhasan explains on today’ss @newabnormalpod
Before he became the host of his own TV show in America, @mehdirhasan interviewed all sorts of international politicians: “What I noticed over the last few years is that they all now start talking like Trump.”
Of course, all politicians are bullshit artists. But what’s different today, Hasan tells @mollyjongfast and @therickwilson, “is the way in which Trump and co. have turned lying into not just an art form, but an instrument of power.” trib.al/IL8CaV9
