I had the privilege of speaking with Maryland Governor Wes Moore, and let me tell you—this conversation is a must-watch. Trump and his regime are trying to gaslight us into thinking the economic chaos they’ve unleashed is just a “detox.” But Governor Moore shut that down fast.
“This isn’t detox. This is destruction,” Moore said. And who’s bearing the brunt of it? The very people who have dedicated their lives to public service—our veterans, our first responders, our federal employees. These are the people Trump and his cronies are targeting, calling them “non-essential” while gutting their jobs and cutting the very services they provide.
It’s all part of a pattern. Trump’s entire presidency—hell, his entire life—has been about punching down. He goes after marginalized communities, disrespects our allies, and now, he’s making sure veterans don’t get the benefits they earned. He called them “suckers and losers” before, and now he’s proving just how much he meant it by slashing 70,000 VA jobs.
Governor Moore, a veteran himself, had no patience for this cowardice. “Hearing that come from somebody who was never willing to take that oath is very rich—and, as a veteran myself, very offensive.”
And let’s talk about Trump’s so-called strength. Moore put it perfectly: bullies like Trump project toughness, but deep down, they’re weak. The past 60 days of his second term have been nothing but a parade of weakness—whether it’s his pathetic attempts to intimidate governors or his desperate need to please actual strongmen like Putin.
Moore also exposed the farce of Trump’s so-called “efficiency” in government. While Trump lets Elon Musk call the shots behind the scenes, Governor Moore is actually making government work—cutting waste in Maryland without gutting services or breaking the law. Contrast that with Trump’s reality: erratic policies that destabilize markets, performative cruelty, and incoherent ramblings when asked even basic questions about the economy.
At the end of our conversation, I asked Governor Moore what message he’d send to Trump’s people watching. His response? There’s a difference between disruption and destruction. The casualties of Trump’s chaos aren’t just bureaucratic reshuffling—they’re real people, real lives, real futures.
If you want leaders who actually get things done—who fight for working people instead of screwing them over for the benefit of billionaires and cronies—look no further than Governor Wes Moore.
