Don't Believe Him | The Ezra Klein Show

Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.

I saw a quote somewhere that said "If the situation was hopeless, their propaganda would be unnecessary." Thank you for this video, it let me breathe for the first time in weeks.

“Acting like a king bc he’s too weak to govern like a President!” Beautifully captured!

[trancesta]

Thank you, Ezra. That quote "acting like a king because he is too weak to govern like a President" sums it up beautifully!

Fed and disabled vet here. Really needed to hear this. I was spiraling in the last 2 weeks.

[JeremiahJazdzewski]

As a federal government employee, I can honestly say that this is the most accurate analysis of the past two weeks that I have heard. Thank you Ezra Klein.

“The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It’s easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident.” (Andor)

To all the Gov employees holding the line, Thank You. You are true Americans, and I respect you.

This actually made me feel better about this sh*t storm. Clear eyed and level headed.

[yamaneko-exfy]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! European here. I was worried America is lost and will turn into a dictatorship, but you gave me hope the American people will NOT allow it. Keep defending the truth! Keep defending the Constitution: freedom, democracy and the rule of law!

"Don't believe him." These were just the words we needed. It is overwhelming watching all of this happen, but the truth always has a unique way of asserting itself in the end, and Ezra's work shines through as a beacon of just that.

“Trump is trying to convince you of something that isn’t true” sums up that guys entire life.

60 year old black women who have been looking for this type of information. I'm in tears. Thank you so much ❤

To anyone reading this: You got this, we got this! Let’s not buy into what they are trying to sell us. Let’s hold the line, strengthen local communities, pour into our own cups so we can be strong for others, let’s take deep breaths and remember to zoom out to see right through this game being played without being swept away by it. There is hope and better days will come. ❤️

He united all Canadians. So many of us are boycotting US products and US travel destinations

[leticiavasquez]

He is a sociopath and a pathological liar with a massive narcissistic complex for sure. Pretty scary that people do believe him. He seems so transparently evil to me.
