It's been, let me bail out anybody who supports me no matter what crimes they commit.
One of the first actions he took was issuing those pardons for all the January 6th defendants, regardless of what their crimes were.
on January 6th, regardless if they were violent, if they beat police officers.
And we are seeing a lot of those people who Donald Trump pardoned now being unleashed on the streets, crime being unleashed on the streets, threatening and harassing politicians, being arrested for a variety of other reasons.
And Donald Trump, every step of the way, when we look at what he's doing with these kind of crypto barons, and we see what he's doing with these corrupt executives and all of these various people, the message that he is sending is, as long as you support me and do not criticize me,
I got your back.
So go ahead, commit crimes.
You got free range.
Remember when Donald Trump during the campaign suggested essentially the purge, like the movie The Purge for the United States, where he said, maybe we just have one day we have everybody get it out of their system.
That's the actual, that's the plot of a movie called The Purge.
It's a horror movie.
And that's what Donald Trump was suggesting for our country.
But I think that's how he views this country.
He thrives in the chaos.
He likes the chaos.
He likes when his enemies are attacked.
And you think about also what happened after the murder of Charlie Kirk, when any mainstream figure out there spoke out strongly against that.
like the clip of Rob Reiner that we saw, like we did here at the Midas Touch podcast, like every single Democratic politician did, like every talking head on TV did.
And what MAGA does is they will take the statements that are made by random people on the internet with no likes, no engagement, whatever, just
whoever they are, random people on TikTok, just people with no actual power in a political party structure, in the media.
