HOT TOPICS | When Trump Sounds Like Bernie: Did MAGA Just Go Left? - May 12th, 2025

The Don Lemon Show

Trump is now calling for pharmaceutical price cuts and floating tax hikes on the rich, and suddenly long-held GOP talking points are… looking suspiciously like Democratic policies.

So what’s happening here? Is this the dawn of Trumpian socialism? Or are Democratic ideas only “evil” until Trump decides to rebrand them as his own?

Let's dive into the ideological blender that is MAGA in 2025. Do they have any real principles? Or is the platform now just “whatever Dear Leader said this morning on Truth Social”?

It’s not left. It’s not right. It’s just chaos in a red hat.
