The Bulwark Podcast
John Ganz: Trump’s Coalition of the Aggrieved

You try to make it legible for people and you try to put your spin on it, maybe advance your politics a little bit, generally try to communicate the truth.

So I often find that when I attribute, you know, some kind of ideological thinking or some kind of project to anything they do, you know, a week from then, the line has totally changed.

going into it so it's a different type of politics and you know we grew up with and we're accustomed to to commenting on and it very much is is the trump show and he he personalizes everything he is not able to think in terms of systems or abstractions ideas like the market or you don't believe that donald trump can abstract

The Bulwark Podcast

I don't think he can, basically.

The Bulwark Podcast
John Ganz: Trump’s Coalition of the Aggrieved

I think basically he is sometimes swayed by conspiratorial rhetoric.

The Bulwark Podcast
John Ganz: Trump’s Coalition of the Aggrieved

Some people are ideologically conspiratorial because it sort of supports their worldview.

The Bulwark Podcast
John Ganz: Trump’s Coalition of the Aggrieved

I think that Trump is basically psychologically incapable of understanding things

as processes that don't have a person behind them.

The Bulwark Podcast
John Ganz: Trump’s Coalition of the Aggrieved

That's the way he's always done business.

The Bulwark Podcast
John Ganz: Trump’s Coalition of the Aggrieved

He always thinks someone's trying to screw you or you're trying to screw somebody.

The Bulwark Podcast
John Ganz: Trump’s Coalition of the Aggrieved

And you can see the way he runs the economy.

The Bulwark Podcast
John Ganz: Trump’s Coalition of the Aggrieved

The idea of a deal is like a one-off kind of carve out where you make some compromises.

Now...
