Tim Miller

an accomplished man.

You don't do that thing.

And Donald Trump is doing that thing right now.

You know what's interesting about him?

I will give him credit on one thing.

He is so much more accessible than any other modern president we've ever had.

He lies all the blood and time.

But he's in the conversation.

He's going on platforms.

He gives open access to reporters on his plane.

When he's walking on the lawn, he'll pop into the briefing room.

So there's a way that he is so accessible that a baseline of his narcissism and mendacity has been normalized for us who are attentive, who are paying attention to the news cycles.

But for folks who are trying to watch Survivor last night, who are watching it to be distracted from the difficulties that they have in their lives,

They don't have that same sense of accessibility.

Instead, there's this weird figure that comes out who is screaming at them that things are fine and that they need to get over themselves.

And they're not really sure that that's what they paid for.

You mentioned it also the other way where I think he's maybe losing his North Star with his own voters or the people that supported him.

is the attention overseas.

And you mentioned how last night he uses MBS and these foreign dictators as validators, saying they say we're doing great, so what are you complaining about?

But the other thing, before the speech, there was some discussion.
