The TLDR News is here to guide you through the chaos of Donald Trump’s second administration while highlighting What to Follow.
2024
With the election in full swing, both candidates are seeking endorsements. Trump is seeking the backing of podcast bros and RFK Jr. The Harris campaign are pulling support from mainstream celebrities including a (non-existent) special guest at the DNC.
With major policy U-turns on sex, drugs and rock & roll (okay, not the last one) we consider if Trump is getting more liberal.
This week we wade into the argumentative world of presidential debates to unpack if they really matter (to anyone other than our four-legged snacks...I mean friends). We also discuss who Putin's endorsed and Trump's continued legal problems.
This week we take a look a look at the second assassination attempt of this election cycle, a truly wild sentence. So, we unpack why political violence is such a major issue in the US and why people don't seem to mind politicians lying to them.
This week we discuss whether Trump is the only candidate who can really pull off the red MAGA hat, why calling yourself a Nazi isn't the most politically savvy move and how the electoral college could be in for a shakeup.
This week Walz and Vance went head-to-head in a... slightly more polite and less dog focused debate. The thing is though. Does it even matter? Did anyone really win the VP debate?
Over the last week we've seen a sudden shift in the Harris campaign's media strategy, with the VP suddenly showing up all over the place. This is a major departure from their previous 'anti-interview' approach. So, what's changed, and why does it matter?
This week, Kamala's campaign pivot targets men who seem to be flocking towards Trump even as he and other key Republican figures continue to embrace conspiracy theories amongst their voters. So why is this? And why is it bad news for American democracy?
It seems that president isn't the only job Trump is vying for; so, will Trump's shift at the drive through really cut through with working class voters?
With less than a week until election day, you'd expect the candidates focus to be lazar focused on the campaign trail...right? Well, in 2024 they're more focused about appearing on podcasts and letting podcasters make 'edgy' jokes.
With the size of Trump's victory surprising many, and with him likely to secure all branches of government, we unpack how we ended up on this timeline and what is likely to happen next.
The US President is sometimes referred to as the Leader of the Free World, and that's because their influence extends beyond the 50 states that elected him. So how has the world reacted to Trump 2.0? And what does his Presidency mean for the rest of us?
Trump is assembling a star-studded team to join him for his second stint as President, but the names aren't exactly political heavyweights. So, is he just filling the cabinet with his buddies? Or is something more sinister happening to American democracy?
When the world's richest man and a champion of the working class are on the same side of an issue, alarm bells should probably be ringing in your head. So, is Elon a secret Bernie Bro? And why is Trump stacking his cabinet with his own family members?
2025
We're heading into a new year, with a (very) old president. That doesn't mean there isn't change ahead. So, in this video we outline what Trump can expect to slide across the Resolute Desk in 2025.
In Trump’s recent Mar-a-Lago speech, he flirted with the idea of expanding America’s territorial control, with Canada, Panama and Greenland all in his sights. But can the President actually go around and buy sovereign states? Or is this all just bluster?
When you think of an oligarchy, you probably think of Putin’s Russia. But there was something consciously oligarchic about the sight of America’s three richest men, all tech billionaires with fingers in the federal pie, lined up together to pay homage to the new president at his inauguration. But is it really fair to call Trump’s court an oligarchy? Or is he just more honest about what’s always been the case?
Trump spent a lot of the campaign saying he’ll introduce massive tariffs all over the world, and it seems he’s putting America’s money where his mouth is. But why is he waging trade wars with enemies and allies alike? And will it backfire eventually?
Trump’s America First policy seems to have the US coming in second place amongst its oldest allies, as he throws Ukraine under the bus and Europe gears up for a political divorce. It's only been a month in his presidency, but he's been a very busy boy…
Trump's famous business acumen doesn't seem to be living up to its reputation as the stock market and the dollar are both down, and now there's a looming recession on the horizon. So just how did things go so bad, so quickly? Spoilers: it's Trump's fault.
Trump is no stranger to legal battles, but it seems that Republicans are now on an offensive against the judiciary that could upset the balance of power and the structure of the US government as we know it. But that's just another week in Trump's America.
It's been one hell of a week, hasn't it? Stocks tumbled as Trump's tariffs sparked a political and economic meltdown around the world, but the fallout isn't just being felt internationally with battle lines being drawn in Washington. So WTF just happened?
With Trump once again butting heads with the Federal Reserve, uncomfortable discussions about central bank independence and the safety of the dollar are coming to the fore that could have global ramifications that are sure to leave everyone asking... WTF?
After campaigning on apparent economic contradictions, Trump is finding it difficult to impose his will on policies and please everyone causing his polling to continue to slip. So, will his U-turns help and can the Democrats actually capitalize?
You might assume that Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are polar opposites, but recent economic policies have seen the President shifting further left... Is Trump feeling the Bern? Or have the lines between Democrat and Republican blurred on the economy?
