Donald Trump and UK politician Nigel Farage celebrate in Trump Tower, New York, November 2016
Listen to Discussion from 2:07.10
I chat with Olly Mann about Trump’s latest thought bubbles. These include his retreat only two days after declaring a 50% tariff on all goods from the European Union, and his outburst at Vladimir Putin over Russia’s record-setting drone and missile strikes on Ukraine.

In the second half, I turn to Farage, the leader of the UK Reform Party, and his pose as “friend of the working class” — a brazen play for Labour Party voters given Reform’s attacks on employment rights, the National Health Service, and unemployment and other benefits.

At the end, there is a brief look at King Charles III’s visit to Canada and how Trump has revigorated ties between Ottawa and the UK monarchy.
