Ezra Klein

It feels like being occupied, and people don't like it, and they react against it.

I mean, the Minnesota reaction was incredible.

and brave and heroic.

But one reason Trump is failing is not just because people think his immigration policy is cruel, though they do, but at its core, what they were asking for was things feel out of control.

We don't want them to feel this way.

And Trump made things out of control in a different way.

He did reduce border crossing, but then he brought this almost war into the interior of the country.

And nobody wanted that.

What they wanted was for their life to feel calm and safe, not to all of a sudden have masked agents running through their streets and picking up— With military-grade weapons and actually killing people.

And then all of a sudden you're seeing Americans gunned down by federal agents.

So Trump is up there making this whole pitch about all the blood being spilled by immigrants.

I don't think he understands that what he was in some ways channeling was an anger disorder.

And now what he is the bringer of is a kind of state sanctioned disorder.

It's not.

And this is why I do think the State of the Union was revealing about Trump's mental state.

Take the whole hour 45 plus and extract out what he said.

He said, the economy is great.

It has never been better.

Best economy ever.

Best economy ever.
