Trump called out for overreach trying to make even product safety a partisan issue - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC
Not wanting to have your finger chopped off by a drink cooler seems like a pretty universal sentiment, but Donald Trump wants to make partisanship a factor even in this most basic government role.
Mary Boyle, a commissioner of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission who Donald Trump has tried to fire, talks with Rachel Maddow about why Trump doesn't actually have the power to fire product safety commissioners, and the non-partisan nature of product safety before Trump returned to office. - Aired on 05/12/2025.
