At the UN this week, Trump threatened to annihilate Iran and “drive them into hell,” only to announce hours later that his team had enjoyed a “very good” and “very productive” meeting with Iranian officials.
This is, for lack of a better word, insane.
So who better to discuss this latest bout of madness than Banter contributor Bob Cesca to try to make sense of what you might (generously) call “The Trump Doctrine”.
In the show, we talk about Trump’s policy towards Iran, the bizarre relationship with China, why Taiwan is now in serious danger, the scary unraveling of the postwar international order, and why America’s allies are abandoning ship.
We also discuss Trump’s escalating war on the news media, whether the press has learned anything over the past decade, and why the instability Trump has injected into American politics is more damaging than any of his terrible policies. It was a fascinating discussion so well worth watching.
