Charlie Sykes sits down with Financial Times U.S. National Editor Edward Luce to examine the accelerating retreat of Western liberalism and the fragility of democratic institutions in the Trump 2.0 era. They discuss Jane Goodall’s viral quip about “rocketing” world leaders into space, the performative nature of Trump’s domestic “wag the dog” tactics, and the escalating intimidation of judges across the country. Luce also critiques the Democratic Party’s reactive strategy and outlines why it must abandon its subtractive politics to meet the moment and build a winning coalition.
