4:43Now PlayingDonald Trump clearly has a reality problem, but he’s also being fed lies and misinformation from the very people that he’s trusted to run his campaign. Right wing pundit Eric Bolling has had enough of this, and he is now demanding that Trump’s campaign staff stop feeding him BS and start telling him the truth. If Trump doesn’t know what’s real and what’s not, then he needs to know that the people around him do, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Well, a lot of folks on the right love to tell Donald Trump that you've just gotta talk about the issues. Just talk about the issues, and of course you're gonna win. But there are some people on the right who don't think that it's Donald Trump's talking points that are necessarily dragging him down. No, they're not gonna blame anything on Donald Trump. And instead they're blaming it 100% on the people around him, former Fox News host, and now former Newsmax host, because I guess he got let go. Recently, Eric Bowling, for some reason, was invited on News Nation this week where he offered Donald Trump this bit of advice. He said, quote, I think his advisors are doing him wrong. They're telling him he is winning and he is not. Right now, Kamala Harris has bumped up in popularity and money and polling. He's gotta bring back 2016 Donald Trump, but he's running his 2020 Donald Trump because he is advisors who tell him everything he wants to hear, and it's a mistake. He should be going from Wisconsin to Pennsylvania and then Michigan and just continue to hit those three states. Bowling said.
Now, I'm not gonna rehash for the millionth time why Donald Trump talking policy is a bad idea, but I actually kind of do agree with Eric Bowling because he's right to a degree. And that degree is that yes, Donald Trump has surrounded himself as is his tendency to do with spineless. Yes, people. It it is. I mean, almost carbon copy of the Emperor has new clothes, right? Because Donald Trump is out there thinking that he is wearing these magnificent robes and all of his advisors who, you know, you can only see the robes if you're pure of heart or if you love Trump, they're like, oh dude, that's, that's an amazing robe. We love it. That is so awesome. Nobody wants to stand up and say, Hey, he's naked. Uh, can we do something about this? Can we put something on the guy? He doesn't have any clothes on.
That's what we're dealing with with Donald Trump and his advisors. They know, you can tell from the way they react to simple questions from the press, they know things are going badly. They know he is on the wrong path, but they dare not speak up. They dare not tell him that, Hey, man, I know you, I saw you just posted on truth Social that all these polls are fake. Um, just wanna let you know that they're not, because do you know what's gonna happen to the person who says that to Donald Trump? They're gonna be unemployed. So they would rather tuck away that little conscience tuck away that voice inside their head that tells them to do the right thing just so that they can continue working for this man for a few more months. But I gotta tell you, advisors, staffers, whoever you are, all you people telling Trump that everything is hunky dory, you realize that after
November, your jobs are gonna be over. And then what are you gonna do? You're gonna go try to work for another campaign. You're gonna put down that you worked for Trump 2024 on your resume, and the next politician's gonna look at that and be like, holy hell, you were one of those people. Yeah, thanks, but no thanks. There's the door. So maybe telling Donald Trump the truth right now, if he fires you, he fires you, but you just might live to work on another campaign in the future if you're the one to stand up and say something. Now, where I disagree with Eric Bowling, of course, is when he says Trump should be going out and doing rallies. Have you not seen Donald Trump's recent rallies, Eric, have you not been paying attention? Maybe not. I think you're probably busy probably looking for a new job.
