Trump's going full dealmaker mode across the globe while the media reluctantly admits they were dead wrong about his trade strategy. 'm joined by friend of the podcast Amanda Peterson of Amanda Talks Geopolitics to break down Trump's first 6 months of foreign policy wins and stumbles - from his massive EU trade deal that's got European leaders sitting pretty and praising him like he's their new best friend, to the game-changing agreements with Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines that are reshoring American manufacturing and filling our coffers.
But it's not all winning - we're diving deep into the messy realities of Ukraine (spoiler: Trump's getting more hawkish), the Gaza humanitarian crisis that Israel can't seem to solve, and why China's still playing puppet master in conflicts worldwide. Plus, we'll explain why Europeans suddenly love buying American energy instead of funding Putin's war machine, and how Trump's "escalate to de-escalate" strategy might actually work.
The media is trash, diplomacy is back, and we have zero patience for their doom-and-gloom predictions that keep falling flat.
