What was said

"I would imagine some kind of leverage we can't see. And you know, again, I am not saying anything other than when I look at the screen and I watch the person that I supported, I feel that he is doing things that he finds distasteful and that he resents the people who made him do it, but that he doesn't have the power not to do it."

Bret Weinstein says he finds Donald Trump’s conduct in office hard to explain and speculates he may be constrained by unseen “leverage”. He says this is only his interpretation based on Trump’s on-screen behaviour, not a confirmed account.
