17:43Now PlayingRick Wilson argues that Donald Trump’s political tricks are no longer working because his approval ratings and economic credibility have collapsed, so stunts like renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America” now draw ridicule instead of fear. He says Trump’s tariffs, corruption, and cuts to programs like SNAP, Medicaid, and USAID are hurting the very red-state farmers, ranchers, and working people who once supported him, while also damaging America’s reputation abroad. Wilson warns that Trump is shifting campaign money toward ads that tie Republicans to his legacy, which could hurt swing-seat candidates, and he emphasizes that Trump remains dangerous even as his influence appears to be fading.
