1:24:41Now PlayingWhy is everyone so scared of Donald Trump?
Let's dive into the troubling trend of institutions bending the knee to the orange overlord. From major law firms cutting shady deals to stay in Trump’s good graces (and losing real clients in the process), to media outlets softening coverage, playing the “both sides” game, or settling lawsuits they should have fought, cowardice is the word of the day.
And it doesn’t stop there. Social media companies have started implementing Trump’s whims like he’s their CEO, and even universities like Columbia are folding faster than a cheap suit, caving to pressure and handing him political wins on a silver platter.
Where’s the spine? Where’s the resistance?
If we don’t push back now, we’re handing over the country to fear, fascism, and a fragile ego in a red tie. Let’s break it all down and call out the cowardice.
