The Daily Show: Trump Weaponizes Victimhood to Defend Kavanaugh - Between the Scenes



Trump's greatest weapon is his ability to wield victimhood, and he's taking full advantage of it to defend Kavanaugh and undermine the #MeToo movement.

So I thought it deserved its own post and not just added to his joking monologue. Trevor really does get U.S. politics better than most people - and he's only been here since 2011 - smart (and funny) guy!

He was really spot on and nailed Trump on one of his most vile techniques that he uses to convert people to his side. I hate Trump more and more every single day. He is the most loathsome person on the face of the earth.

Thanks for posting Rhiannon!

Trevor Noah has powerful understanding, and he conveys it clearly.
Thank you, Rhiannon.

noted how this is being employed by Republicans and Kavanaugh during this travesty.

It’s short and worth the full read.
