Trump Gets Schooled On…Everything! + A Conversation with Professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld

from Mea Culpa · host Podcast WABCRadio

Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Yale Professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a leading expert on leadership, corporate ethics, and government accountability. He’s the Senior Associate Dean at the Yale School of Management, organizer of the CEO Summit, and author of “Firing Back,” where he wrote about Donald Trump. After spending a weekend with him at Yale, I knew I had to bring him on the show. We break down the dangerous mix of spectacle and power behind Trump’s second-term agenda, from chaotic trade wars and hollow cabinet picks to the politicization of education and dismantling of oversight. Professor Sonnenfeld offers chilling insights into how Trump’s reality-TV ethos is shaping public policy, why authoritarianism feeds on chaos and loyalty, and what business leaders and civil society must do now to defend our democracy.
