What Trump and the New Right Really Believe | David French

What does Trump actually believe, and how does his worldview connect to the New Right? Corey Brettschneider and John Fugelsang look beyond the latest outrages to the ideology linking them. Then New York Times columnist David French joins Corey to discuss the forces reshaping the American right.

Inside the episode:

David French on birthright citizenship, the postliberal right, and whether there is a path out of America’s democratic crisis.

The attack on the Smithsonian and the fight over who counts as truly American.

Trump’s ties to the manosphere and the grievance politics driving the New Right.

The pressure on New York Times journalists, the disappearance of a Whitney Cummings joke, and the fight to stop Penn Station from being renamed for Trump.
