MS NOW's Jen Psaki kicked off Friday evening with a look back on all the rich and powerful people who sucked up to Trump when he got back in power — and how humiliating it looks now."Now, what was our new normal in this country?" said Psaki. "There was no going back. And American corporations and institutions all had to rush to get on board with his agenda. We watched big, powerful law firms rush to bend the knee to Trump, giving in to nearly every demand. We saw the same thing from major media organizations who settled bogus lawsuits, paid millions of dollars, and caved to his intimidation tactics."But one of the most prominent displays, she said, came from Big Tech, as Silicon Valley "tripped all over themselves to grovel before the mad king."Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg were all at Trump's inauguration, noted Psaki. "Even Apple's CEO, Tim Cook ... went to the White House and presented Trump with a big, shiny trophy that looks a lot like a fake award, doesn't it? And then, Bezos went in public and proclaimed Trump had finally discovered how to be president."What I've seen so far is that he is calmer than he was the first time, and more confident, more settled," said Bezos in the clip Psaki played. "I'm comparing him to his first term, and I think he is a more mature, more disciplined version of himself than he was in his first term.""He's so much calmer now, disciplined, more mature, which, by the way, more mature is such a choice of word for a man who is in his late 70s," said Psaki. "But that aside, it was all just incredibly embarrassing for all of these guys. But that was how too much of Corporate America reacted to Trump's second term. They cowered before him like he and the MAGA world he created were going to reign all-powerful for a thousand years moving forward."Ultimately, of course, this didn't happen, said Psaki — his tariffs and Iran war stagnated the economy, while his personal scandals and his attempts to bulldoze D.C. for monuments to himself triggered widespread backlash.After all of the prostration before Trump by Big Tech, said Psaki, "the illusion of Trump's lasting power and influence has completely faded away, and now even members of his own party are trying to wash some of the Trump stink off of themselves." - YouTube www.youtube.com
