Trump’s Wild New Fits of Rage Over Debate Fiasco Reveal Deep Weakness
As Trump vents at ABC News journalists for fact checking him at the debate, a shrewd press observer discusses why being trapped in the MAGA media bubble is so politically dangerous for him.
After Kamala Harris’s shellacking of Donald Trump at the debate, Trump ventured on to Fox News, where he attacked the moderators as deeply biased against him. Incredibly, he even said their network, ABC News, should have its broadcasting license revoked. This is really a show of weakness: what enraged him is that real scrutiny was applied to the lies he can air unchallenged on right wing media. We talked to Media Matters senior fellow Matt Gertz—author of a new piece on Trump’s debate struggles—about Trump’s retreat into the MAGA media bubble, why that’s so politically perilous for him, and what it all says about today’s GOP. Listen to this episode here.
