About this episode

Along the illustrious Davos Promenade, the US administration has taken over a 19th century church that’s been reconsecrated for the week as a shrine to business and politics. On the eve of President Donald Trump’s arrival, a banner hangs behind USA House spelling out, “House of God.”
It’s as good a visual cue as any for the power plays ahead as Trump descends on the Swiss Alps for the first time since 2020 in the final year of what was, with the benefit of hindsight, a more restrained first term. That goes for European leaders as well as the gullible billionaires duped into buying fake tickets for access to Trump’s entourage.
Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy. On this edition, Joe speaks with:
- Bloomberg Washington Correspondent Tyler Kendall.
- Bloomberg News' Christina Ruffini.
- Bloomberg Intelligence Senior US Policy Analyst Nathan Dean.
- Stonecourt Capital Partner Rick Davis and Harvard Kennedy School's Ash Center Visiting Democracy Fellow Jeanne Sheehan Zaino.
