What crazy things is Trump doing this week? What's noise and what's important? Let's sift through it, understand, and discuss! No previous knowledge necessary.
What exactly is happening in Trump-World American politics right now? And how do we make sense of it when the headlines seem to change every hour? Which stories are truly important, which are political theatre, and how do events inside the United States ripple out into global politics? In this new discussion series, BO, an expert on U.S. politics who lectures at universities and consulates across Asia and the United States, will help cut through the noise and unpack what Donald Trump is actually doing this week.
In this session, Bo will explore several major developments unfolding at once: the growing tensions surrounding the Iran war, Trump’s recent firing of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem—his headline-grabbing “Barbie” figure known for controversial statements and scandals—his public clashes with major conservative media figures, and even his recent hints about the possibility of invading Cuba. With Trump, multiple stories often explode at the same time, making it difficult to see what really matters. Bo will present the facts clearly and objectively before opening the floor for discussion about what deserves attention, what may simply be noise, what could become dangerous, and how these events might shape the future of global politics. No prior knowledge of American politics is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to explore one of the most unpredictable political moments of our time.
