FRDH Episode 15: Trump's First Hundred Days: How to Survive the Next 100 and the next


Listen Later

Trump's First Hundred Days in office have been like no other presidents. There is no deep channel you can follow in trying to write the First Rough Draft of History for this man’s presidency you are constantly going this way and that on jagged currents. This FRDH podcast rambles looking at Trump as an avatar of a new society which emulates what it watches on TV unable to distinguish between reality and reality TV programs. “It’s a Kardashian world and he’s the Kardashian candidate.”
It also analyzes the precedents for Trump and the resistance to him. Ronald Reagan was the first president to gain the presidency following a television career. It looks at what resistance to Reagan was able to achieve.
It also criticizes the current practice of journalism via social networking sites, particularly Twitter.

Give FRDH podcast 17 minutes and forty-five seconds and I will give you something to think about for the next hundred days.
