Trump's Brand is Breaking with @letsdiscusssomething

This week on the Branding Democrats Podcast, we’re joined by progressive TikTok creator Chris, better known as @letsdiscusssomething.

As backlash grows over federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota, a looming government shutdown, and an economy Trump insists is “winning” despite widespread anxiety, we break down what all of this reveals about MAGA's narrative failure.

Trump is caught between competing interests: a MAGA base demanding escalation and a broader public recoiling from chaos, violence, and instability. His response — pivoting, backtracking, and trying to change the subject — exposes the limits of fear-based governance and the risks of branding strength without substance.

As always, Branding Democrats is about more than reacting to the news; i’s about understanding how narratives shape power, and how Democrats can build a brand that voters are proud to be part of.
