Sanchez Effect | 'I had pretty low expectations of Trump, but...'

On the latest episode of RT's 'Sanchez Effect,' we dive into how Trump promised 'America First' but ended up delivering the exact opposite. Rick and 'Previously Prohibited' podcast co-host Melissa Witte agree that under Trump, Americans got a glimpse of what could have been – only to have it snatched away from them. While Trump pledged 'no new wars,' America's so-called greatest ally, Israel, obviously had other plans.

Melissa believes that the Trump administration's mindset – to shoot first and ask questions later – is a recipe for disaster. That belligerent logic could be used to justify any conflict, and suddenly Washington is looking at a potential war with the entire Muslim world!

Let's not forget another destructive path: bad journalism. Rick tears into it with fresh examples – like the Western media spinning tales about Putin's bunker, and a New York Times journalist urging Tucker Carlson to steer clear of certain questions. Spoiler alert: That's not something Tucker Carlson will be doing. And neither shall we. Tune in to see Rick question more – only on RT.
