Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
The first Commentary podcast of the week finds John Podhoretz, Abe Greenwald, and Noah Rothman puzzling out the idea that Trump taping people in the Oval Office represents the rise of American totalitarianism rather than an insanely self-destructive act that (if it’s happening) would only hasten Trump’s own demise. We also point out that mainstream media types and liberals (but I repeat myself) are so eager to attach Trump to Republicans that they now deny Trump-resistant Republicans exist. Give a listen.

Not to worry about mispronounced words. As a grown adult, I once read aloud a lingerie sign in a store as “ling-a-ree.”
Obama had a taping system, so it is quite clear that this is common practice and the outrage is directly proportional to the occupant of the office. John et al are of course correct that it is a problem- see above reason. Smart presidents anticipate the possible consequences of their words and actions.
improvisatory? what a creep!
