Glasser Criticizes Republicans for Backing Trump Amid Economic and Global Turmoil
Susan Glasser argues that Senator Bill Cassidy’s refusal to oppose Attorney General Blanche shows Republicans will cling to Donald Trump despite worsening economic conditions and international crises.
During a recent episode of the Bulwark Daily podcast, Susan Glasser expressed disappointment that Senator Bill Cassidy chose not to challenge Attorney General Blanche, interpreting the move as evidence that Republicans will do anything to remain on Donald Trump’s side. She characterized the resulting government as a corrupt, gangster-style oligarchy. Glasser highlighted that ordinary Americans continue to suffer from the fallout of Trump’s tariff regime and a failed war, which have left job numbers weak and prices high across the board.
She added that the deportation of legal immigrants stains the nation’s moral standing, while Russia’s energy crisis has forced Vladimir Putin into a dangerous corner. Finally, she noted Trump’s personal “gold-maxxing” activities as another troubling element of his continued influence.
