Why are Trump supporters suddenly saying he didn’t mean to implement tariffs and mass deportations?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Have you seen this meme right here? We didn't think he meant us. Now a lot of people who voted for Trump are finding out he did mean you, he did con you, and we're now seeing the GOP try to do some damage control and They're going on the media and saying, actually, we don't think uh we're gonna do the tariffs, uh, we don't think we're gonna do the bloody mass deportations, uh, we don't think he really means that, does he? Yes, he absolutely means that. But now that the constituents of like MAGA Mike Johnson or uh Congress member Gonzalez from Texas are saying, wait a minute, you're really doing this? They're trying to do some damage control here. I mean the The entire Trump inner circle right now is a total mess.
Ben Meiselas 0:45
Apparently his chief of staff, Susan Wiles, has completely lost control. Donald Trump's like making cabinet picks at his kind of whim, which is par for the course for Donald Trump when he's on his airplane or at a UFC fight. Um, you've got uh just complete and utter chaos with uh um Howard Lutnick, for example. Who is trying to position himself to be the Treasury Secretary? We're learning this from a recent New York Times piece. Mr. Lutnick, who has been running Trump's transition operation, is getting on Trump's nerves lately. Trump has privately expressed frustration that Lutnick has been hanging around him too much and that he has been manipulating the transition process towards his ends. And you take it.

Take a look. You have Elon Musk, who's letting everybody know that he is a co-president. You see him with Donald Trump right there, as our editor-in-chief uh Ron Philipkowski said. Trump's face says, How the hell am I going to get rid of this guy? Because he doesn't seem like he wants to go home. Also, have you seen this meme right here? This is of RFK Jr., the one hand that's I flew on the Lolita Express with my friend Jeffrey Epstein, and all the kind of MAGA red hat wearers are like. Great, that sounds uh absolutely uh amazing right here. Um, going through some more of these uh kind of inner circle MAGA people, let me just show you, for example, what's taking place right here. Um we have on the uh take a look at MAGA Mike right there at the UFC fight.
Ben Meiselas 2:21
I mean, this stuff is just so utterly uh embarrassing. Oh, here you've got uh on the airplane as well. Remember, they're all like, make America healthy again. We are going to um, you know, dictate what it is you can eat and not eat based on whatever RFK Jr. says at any given time. Then you see like RFK.

Who is Howard Lutnick and why is his role in Trump’s transition causing chaos?

Ben Meiselas 2:41
Elon Musk, Don Jr., and Donald Trump eating McDonald's on the plane. By the way, you then have RFK Jr. with uh some Zin, which is like uh like nicotine dip. The ingredients, artificial flavor, stabilizers, binding agents, and synthetic nicotine. But no seed oil. So I uh suppose it's uh good for you. Also, we're learning that Pete Heggsith. Uh, Donald Trump's pick for Secretary of State. Um, we talked previously about sexual assault allegations that have resurfaced. Well, we're also learning right now that he paid a woman an undisclosed amount after she accused him of sexual assault. So there's a hush money component to this as well. I mean, what a complete and utter disaster. New York Times also is reporting the following.
Ben Meiselas 3:32
Donald Trump is planting the seeds of his own political demise with a corrupt, incompetent, and extremist men and women around him for these critical posts. Also represent direct threats to Donald Trump. Let me show you this right here. This is MAGA Republican Representative Tony Gonzalez. He's a Congress member from Texas. They define him as a Texas. Texas border rep, uh, based on where his district is located. And so, you know, of course, Donald Trump appointed Tom Homan to be the border czar who said bloody mass deportations. Donald Trump's appointed Stephen Miller to work with Homan on bloody mass deportations, which literally means knocking on people's doors, doing work site raids, and taking away
Ben Meiselas 4:22
people who have been productive and who have contributed to the American economy, um, and ripping them away and just send putting them in cages or concentration camps and sending them away.
