Trump: One year down, three to go

Deskripsi

The first year of Donald Trump’s second term is over — with three long years still to go. Far from the myth of “Trump the peacemaker,” the past twelve months have been marked by war, repression, corruption, and growing global resistance. In this episode, we take stock of Trump’s record so far: from bombing seven countries and backing Israel’s assault on Gaza, to embracing tech oligarchs at home and unleashing ICE against immigrant communities. But resistance is growing. From some of the largest protests in US history to mass demonstrations in the UK against Trump’s second state visit, a global movement is pushing back. Host Zoe Williams is joined by Zoe Gardner from the Stop Trump Coalition and Alyssa Elliott from Indivisible London, the first international chapter of the major US resistance movement. Together, they explore what Trump’s first year tells us about the road ahead — and how movements can confront authoritarianism moving forward. In This Episode One year into Trump’s second term: what has actually happened The myth of “Trump the peacemaker” vs the reality of endless military action ICE raids, police violence, and the targeting of immigrant communities Mass protests in the US and UK — and what they’ve achieved What global resistance to Trump looks like going forward — and why appeasement and fear are not the answer
