Topic: David Cay Johnston

Journalist David Cay Johnston discusses Donald Trump's historical business losses, characterizing him as a "wealth destroyer" rather than a successful businessman. The hosts counter this by noting that casino bankruptcies were common in the 1990s and that Trump was considered a "comeback kid" because banks found him too big to fail.

Pulitzer Prize winners Glenn Greenwald and David Cay Johnston engaged in a heated debate on Democracy Now regarding the Mueller report's conclusions. Greenwald criticized the media for a "scam" narrative, while Johnston struggled to defend his previous claim that Trump is a "Russian agent," eventually pivoting to calling him an "asset." Greenwald argued that Trump’s aggressive policies toward Russia in Ukraine and Venezuela disprove the "stooge" narrative.
