EA on International Media: Trump Camp’s “Limbo” in Its War on Iran
I joined Times Radio’s Maddie Hale on Thursday for our “That Was The Week That Was (in TrumpLand)”, tracing tales of absurdity, ineptitude, and loyalty to a convicted felon as President.
After a glance at whether the World Cup will overcome Trump’s ego, we do a deep-dive on the “Groundhog’s Day” limbo of the US War on Iran, with “neither war nor negotiations”.
We return to the US to look at how Trump’s nominees for high office — Todd Blanche as Attorney General and Jay Clayton as Director of National Intelligence — confirmed in Congressional hearings that the priority is their Dear Leader rather than agency independence and the US system.
We deal with the faux-macho absurdity of Pete Hegseth’s bluster on testosterone.
And we close with a look at whether the Trump camp might finally support Ukraine against Russia’s invasion.
