The Best People with Nicolle Wallace · Heather Cox Richardson on America’s Vibe Shift · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

When he springs to power in California... matched

media people laugh at him because he makes stuff up, and they think it's really funny, and they don't get that he's creating this worldview. matched

One of the things that Trump was always was a salesman. matched

And in many ways, he was the culmination of that... matched

worldview that was based in image and not in reality i mean his whole identity was based when he went into public office was based in the apprentice and the guy who created the apprentice said you know we made that up and the reason that we put him in the centerpiece of that was because we tried to get real businessmen and they actually were attending to business so they didn't want to do anything with us they didn't have time and he was the only guy who was free and you know matched

That idea that he created and embraced a TV show, really. matched

And Susie Wiles, you know, people have identified her, who's the chief of staff, as producing a reality show every day in which Trump has to win at the end of every day. matched

You know, people loved that. matched

People got on board that as late as 2024. matched

And now we are watching what happens when you have this hologram really take over aspects of our lives that really matter. matched

And you're watching, you know, the end of the freedom of the seas in Iran, which means that the free exchange of goods, which has made America so wealthy and kept our prices so low. matched

That sure looks like it's going away. matched

And now we're seeing the rollback of health care, the rollback of abortion care. matched

And so women are dying. matched

You're seeing children who are unable to eat. matched

You're watching reality crash into image. matched

And some people, I think, will never let go of that image. matched

They love what that looks like. matched

They loved who they were during it. matched

But governance and life is actually a lot of hard work. matched
