Back to EpisodesAndrew Neil: "It's Like Orwell's 1984" | End Of World Order As We Know It Under Trump
Description
Tonight President Trump, celebrating the first year of his second term, treated journalists to a marathon press conference. The topics? His “successes”, his enemies (“they’re laughing because they’re winning!”), and the price tag for Greenland. Broadcaster Andrew Neil joined Harry Cole for a post-match analysis, and he wasn’t mincing words. “It’s the end of the world order as we’ve known it for 80 years,” Andrew Neil said, sounding like a Bond villain. NATO? Wobbling. The West? Looking east, nervously. Trump? Dreaming of being the “imperial overlord” of the Western Hemisphere, with Venezuela and Greenland as his new sphere of influence. With midterms looming, Harry and Andrew agree: Trump could lose the House, maybe even the Senate. That means impeachment is back on the menu. And with cost-of-living woes biting ordinary Americans, could Trump’s bubble finally burst? And Just when UK PM Keir Starmer thought it couldn’t get worse, Trump appears to trash the Chagos Islands deal.
