The MeidasTouch Podcast · Senator Gallego on Trump’s Mental Decline During Shutdown · 7 Oct 2025 podcast

Democratic Party has been unified saying, we're not going to let you cut the insurance of 24 million Americans.

And for him, he's very confused the fact that he can't bully his way out of this, that he can't embarrass people out of this, that he can't just snap his finger out of it.

And that's why you're seeing him kind of grasp at all these different things to kind of help him

feel good, to feel like he has some sort of power, what you're seeing is actual weakness.

He's scared.

He does not know how to get out of this without compromise.

And to him, that means that he's going to end up looking weak because he started by such a strong stance that says, just open this up.

know it it for someone like him he it does not come naturally to him like he's always been able to either walk away you know like for all his field properties are his jobs uh and just kind of like you know bluster his way into the next thing and this one he's going to either have to walk away and and reinforce one way or the other the affordable care act

or he's going to have to shut down.

And at some point, some of this starts affecting a lot of what he cares about.

Right.

So he cares about certain things that that he wants to execute and whether or not the government shut down.

Eventually that starts having an effect on him.

So I read this as an absolute

like show of weakness.

And it does not surprise me that you're going to see him kind of lash out.

He's going to keep trying different things because he knows that he has no power in this issue.

And he's just trying to figure out how to figure out, you know, how he can still look tough and have control when he really doesn't.

This could end tomorrow very easily, right?

I have zero trust that these guys are going to listen to a CR or budget, right?
