Trump vs Los Angeles (and Elon Musk) #116

What this episode covers

As protests in Los Angeles against ICE turn violent, Trump responds by sending in the National Guard—only to be publicly rebuked by California’s leadership. Is this an escalation of authoritarian tendencies or just another display of political incompetence? Meanwhile, a bizarre feud between Trump and Elon Musk unfolds, adding a layer of personal drama to an already volatile political landscape. Was the deployment of the National Guard just a smokescreen to distract from Trump’s embarrassing fallout with Musk?We also briefly touch on the latest developments in the Netherlands, where domestic political chaos adds yet another data point to a growing transatlantic trend.This podcast is published with the help of RAIA NOW gUG but is an individual project between the Director of RAIA Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats.
