Podcast: Trump’s 1st 100 Days — Success, Failure, or Disaster?

Posted by Scott Lucas | Apr 28, 2017 | 0

I joined Trump spokeswoman Jan Halper-Hayes and journalist Niall Stanage of The Hill on BBC Radio Ulster’s Talkback on Thursday for a 25-minute discussion of Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office.

Much of the time is taken up by Halper-Hayes’ increasingly frantic and loud attempts to present something positive about Trump, but usually ending in the blame of others (“liberal media”, Democrats, establishment Republicans, Talkback’s host).

Content to let Halper-Hayes keep digging, Stanage and I handed her a shovel but did offer some perspective on the discord and uncertainty of the White House and its occupant.
