EA on Dublin NewsTalk: US Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship
In our latest hour-long “That Was The Week That Was”, Maddie Hale of The Trump Report and I take apart another chaotic, grifting, ego-driven Seven Days in TrumpLand.
We begin with the latest Trump Administration fumbling over its war on Iran, with talks in limbo but the Iranians pressing their political advantage. I point out how Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, through their attacks, have “effectively kept the Iranian regime in power” rather than forcing it to surrender.
I explain how the Supreme Court, by a 6-3 vote, protected the Constitutional right of birthright citizenship, checking the Trump assault on immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers — but how far will the “nativist” Trump camp go to punish people who are not their “proper Americans”?
I rip through King Donald’s Ego-Fest corrupting the America 250 celebrations, answering Maddie’s question why the Trump camp did not keep the occasion non-political.
I highlight the latest revelations of the corruption and grift of Trump and his family, from $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency schemes to billions in favors from foreign governments.
And we look at Ukraine’s ongoing move from defense to strength against Russia’s 52-month full-scale invasion.

Thank you for getting in touch. Unfortunately, the BBC have not uploaded the interview. However, I have made similar comments in other interviews and in a reel for Instagram.
These can be found on my YouTube and Instagram channels. Each is called Scott Lucas WorldView.
