Trump’s instability and potential of a post-American world

Season 2025 Episode 23 | 16m 34s

In President Trump's first administration, he was surrounded by buffers and filters. In his second, he's surrounded by amplifiers. Jeffrey Goldberg and Thomas Friedman discuss the chaos of Trump's conflicts, how world leaders are viewing the instability and Trump's explosive feud with Elon Musk.

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, Otsuka, Kaiser Permanente, the Yuen Foundation, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
