Rick Wilson
Summary
Rick Wilson and Molly discuss the plummeting approval ratings of Donald Trump and the resulting panic among Republican candidates, who are distancing themselves from the president. The hosts analyze the economic fallout, specifically how $7 diesel prices are devastating farmers in key states like Iowa and Kansas, and how this is driving voters away from GOP incumbents. They also cover the exodus of major Republican donors, the strategic risks of Trump rallies in red states, and the diplomatic failures surrounding his recent state dinner with China's leader.
