Episode 739: What is Trump Promising to Big Donors? Lindsey Graham in the MAGA Crosshairs

This week on Ring of Fire!


At his fundraiser this past weekend, Donald Trump promised the
crowd of wealthy supporters that he would fight to keep their
taxes low if he gets back into office. This was part of his sales
pitch to ensure that they give him money for his campaign. The
wealthy class doesn't care about his coup attempt or his criminal
charges or the threat he poses to the country - all they care
about is saving a few million dollars a year on their taxes.


The company that is backing Donald Trump's fraud trial bond has
come under fire from prosecutors, and Judge Arthur Engoron has
even scheduled a hearing with the company to determine if they
can even afford to post it. And now new reports have found some
serious discrepancies with the actual contract that the company
produced for the bond that could result in it being completely
thrown out.


Lindsey Graham wasn't happy with Donald Trump's recent comments
about letting states decide what rights women are allowed to have
(Lindsey wants the federal government to take those rights away,)
and this prompted Trump to go nuclear against his former friend.
But it didn't end there. Later in the day, Trump decided to
finish off Graham for good, and Trump said that he takes the
blame for Graham existing in the Senate because his endorsement
is what saved his career. It is safe to say that, for now, this
relationship appears to be over.


A federal judge has taken the unusual step of sending a letter to
the "friends and allies" of a convicted Capitol Rioter, warning
them to stop saying that the man did "nothing wrong" and to stop
condoning and downplaying political violence. While the letter
was supposedly meant for the convict's inner circle, it read more
like a warning to the Republican Party itself that continues to
downplay what happened on January 6th.


All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!
