How You Know Trump Think He's In Trouble w/ Jim Acosta - Fast Politics w/ Molly Jong-Fast
Jim Acosta joins Molly to unpack the abrupt firing of Pam Bondi and her replacement by Trump attorney Todd Blanche, framing it as part of a broader effort to bury the Epstein files while weaponizing the Justice Department against political enemies.
They predict a return to “Trump 1.0” chaos marked by nonstop leaks, rapid-fire cabinet shakeups, and staffing drama used as distraction from larger scandals, including escalating conflict with Iran and its economic fallout. The discussion ranges from potential DOJ leadership picks like Judge Jeanine Pirro to concerns about recession pressures, soaring gas prices, and international allies distancing themselves from U.S. instability.
They close by arguing Democrats must push structural reforms—like Supreme Court term limits and court expansion—to “lunatic-proof” democracy against future authoritarian spirals. - 04/03/2026.
