2025/06/06

This week, Rick's Elephant in the Room reflects on the fallout of Elon Musk and Trump (the girls are fighting!). Elon should have heeded Rick's golden rule or read his book, Everything Trump Touches Dies, to fully understand what he was signing up for. Watching the fiery tweets ping-ponging back and forth this week, Trump seems to have finally met his match. Waiting to see what happens next, what if Elon turning on Trump evolves into the ultimate redemption story? We're not holding our breath quite

Unpacking Trump, the Degenerate, with The New York Times

The Lincoln Project ·

2025/06/03

Jonah Bromwich, who's a criminal justice reporter at The New York Times and author of his new book Dragon on Centre Street, joins Rick to drill down to what the Stormy Daniels case actually meant for the American people. The book focuses on Donald Trump’s criminal trial, but it’s also about the way that our institutions have failed to keep up with the 21st century. At heart, this case wasn't about hush money payments or hooking up with a porn star, it was about defrauding the American public during

TACO: Trump Always Chickens Out

The Lincoln Project ·

2025/05/30

This week, Rick's Elephant in the Room unpacks TACO Trump. (And, kudos to the Wall Street Bros who coined the "perfect" term -- "Trump Always Chickens Out.") As the anthropologist on Donald Trump, Rick (who has studied this man for over ten years -- thank you for your service!) sheds light on how TACO applies to all aspects of Trump. This flacid, feeble, fatuous fool is not the strong man he *thinks* he portrays. Completely inept, played by dictators, confused by intelligent people, and obsessively

Trump, a Doddering Old Fool

The Lincoln Project ·

2025/05/23

This week, Rick's Elephant in the Room is Trump's mental decline. With the White House decidedly halting transcripts of Trump's speeches, and a rise of extreme political sharks circling the Oval Office, what's left of Trump's mental cognition has also apparently been deported without a court hearing. On a strict diet of Big Macs and Adderall, Trump's last "cognition test" -- 'Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.' -- seems to be a high point for our drooling Dear Leader. ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ You can

Exhausted AF But, Still, We Persist (and Resist)

The Lincoln Project ·

2025/05/16

This week's Elephant in the Room is exhaustion. You're feeling it, we're feeling it, and Trump and his administration are feeling it. Trump is falling asleep during meetings, and for his staffers, living in fear is draining. Overthrowing a democracy consumes a lot of energy from all sides. We knew another Trump term would mean another serious bout of adrenal fatigue, but this time, the array of high-stakes, stressful headlines is on another level. ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ You can follow Rick Wilson at

Unraveling the threads of the Trump administration's biggest headlines, Jared and Rick touch on Trump's vandalization of the American economy, the insanely stupid idea to roll back FEMA (something that will impact deeply-held Republican states), and how to get anything done with the current GOP sh*tshow in the House.

Removing partisan political rhetoric from state government, Michigan's Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson sits down with Rick to discuss her no-holds-barred style regarding local government. Married into the military, Jocelyn is a no-nonsense leader who isn't shaken by political threats on her life, campaign attacks from the far right, or the pressure to cave to Trump's "stolen election" claims during 2020.

In this week's Friday episode of the Elephant in the Room, Rick recaps Trump's first 100 days in office. From the corruption to the chaos to the skyrocketing costs to the coercion to the cruelty to casting aside the constitution, Trump's damage to our country is utterly unbelievable.
