During a Substack LIVE conversation on Thursday, Chris Cillizza and Matt Lewis covered a LOT of ground, including:▶️ Epstein File Shockwaves:The Epstein files are coming — and a cryptic Trump-linked email is being decoded two radically different ways. Predator? Whistleblower? Either interpretation is political TNT. ▶️ Trump’s Economic Iceberg:A brutal –34 approval rating on affordability. Chris calls it: “Deep. Sh*t.” From $5 eggs to Mar-a-Lago Gatsby parties while SNAP gets cut, we dig into why Trump’s rhetoric is starting to sound like Biden-era denial.▶️ The Billionaire Populist Paradox:How did a gold-plated Manhattan mogul become a blue-collar folk hero? And why is the spell breaking now? We unpack the aspirational trap at the heart of Trump’s appeal. Plus, Tucker’s problem with “strivers.” Billionaires who cheer for the poor but side-eye the middle class. ▶️ Democrats Are Quietly Channeling the 2015 GOP’s #War PhilosphyThey want fighters. They’re tired of Schumer. AOC is rising. It’s giving 2015 Republican energy.▶️ Trump’s Secret MRI & Medical Mystery:A “perfect” scan with zero explanation. Chris wants full medical transparency, tax returns, and an end to the presidential pardon power—for everyone.▶️ And much MUCH more!
