About this episode
Decoding America is a new weekly podcast from Guardian Australia hosted by Reged Ahmad with Jonathan Yerushalmy, one of our editors on the international desk. It will peel back the surface of Trump’s America, decoding the undercurrents of United States’ democracy. In this first episode we look at Trump’s growing frustrations and threats to take out Iran in “one night” in a surreal weekend of condemning allies like Australia, social media posts and White House Easter celebrations. Jonathan also takes us through a now deleted speech which reveals the US president’s growing frustration with allies, the US public and how far removed we might be from the US of old.
