'Not about crime': Maddow CRACKS OPEN Trump's real motives in deploying the National Guard to D.C.
"Watch what they do, not what they say." Rachel Maddow shows that Donald Trump is not actually bothered by crime, not just because he is a convicted criminal, but because of many examples of him helping criminals. And what else Trump's actions show is a fondness for using the U.S. military to threaten and intimidate the American people.

Show Notes
Rachel Maddow cites example after example of Donald Trump going out of his way to help criminals, including some really terrible ones, so the idea that Trump's concerns about crime are behind his deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C. does not seem to hold water. Looking more closely at what Donald Trump has done instead of what he has said points to the more likely explanation that Trump really likes pointing the U.S. military at the American people.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump and his health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have canceled hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for mRNA vaccine research, a move that has been widely panned by health experts across the political spectrum, including members of Trump's first administration.
