About this episode
Is Donald Trump fit to be President and leader of the free world? With people increasingly questioning the Commander in Chief's mental acuity, Christiane and Jamie look at some of the wild swings in Trump’s recent statements about the Iran War and ask whether he is still of sound mind.
Christiane also highlights how Trump’s war tactics have backfired and turned the Strait of Hormuz into an economic weapon that Iran is using as a chokehold on the global economy - and they discuss whether there is any prospect of the Trump administration striking a deal with Iran’s leaders, or if it's more likely that the current blockade in the Strait continues.
Later, they both react to Viktor Orban being ousted as Hungary’s Prime Minister in the country’s recent elections. Christiane & Jamie unpick whether this result means the end of populism in Europe, and what impact it could have on the future of MAGA in the US.
