Trump 2.0: A “Hostile Takeover of Washington”

Season 2025 Episode 8052 | 17m 38s

The Trump administration's immigration crackdown is just one example of the whirlwind changes in Washington this year. From aid and foreign policy to trade and beyond, Trump has upended U.S. doctrine, transformed institutions and redefined America's place on the world stage. The New Yorker's Susan Glasser joins the show to cut through the noise and identify the defining themes of the presidency.
