"I don't think he thinks anything" 😂😂😂😂😂 that just sums it up. thank you! talking about Trump as if there is ANY kind of intellectual processing/intent going on there feels deeply wrong

Zakaria is the best non-political, political pundit there is. Smart, rational. We need to hear more from him.

Haven’t listened yet but I’m
still wondering what I posted several weeks ago:

Wonder if Fareed Zakaria wishes he hadn’t said in November that he was “excited” to see what DOGE would do under its “brilliant” leaders?

Another excellent discussion. Realistic pessimism. Thanks.

You cannot casually have a coffee house conversation about whether a group within American government is actively working to overthrow the American system of government and the Western order.

All Democrats need to BOYCOTT the joint address to Congress next week. Not a SINGLE Dem should show up. SCOTUS Dems should stay away. Get some fucking BALLS!!!!

Kind of missed boat from go: “Trumpism”=selling white/US faux victimhood as he defrauds ppl/profiteers. Anti-Japan ad in 1980’s=wrong focus: racist attacks on CP5 is illustrative. Everything flows from that grift: loose cannon idiot spouts whatever BS his audience wants, w cunning connection skills.

Hearing from someone who is so intelligent and has such a nuanced, historically informed perspective, really makes me yearn for leaders with the same characteristics. Remember when being way smarter than the average person was a prerequisite for high office?

Richer. You meant way richer.

rabbijill.bsky.social•1 day ago

You said that so beautifully. That was exactly my reaction to listening to this podcast.

cdevlew.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thoughtful, insightful conversation. You didn’t go all the way there, but I can’t help surmising that Trump’s ultimate goal is a world carved up among three strongmen, Xi, Putin, and himself.

I encourage you to watch the Ezra Klein interview with Kara Swisher. That should clear up more of the chilling endgame.

The MAGA movement accuses LGBT people for falsely portraying themselves as victims. Trump consistently portrays USA as a victim in the world even though USA is the richest nation in world history.

Whining is his go-to move to garner sympathy - he's pathetic

Good timing. … I know its not your “wheelhouse” but perhaps more frequent foreign policy podcasts in the future?

pmasella.bsky.social•3 days ago

Great show ... Very informative and insightful. Love this podcast . Ezra thanks for teaching me something Everytime I listen

I just finished reading the transcript. One question. After Friday's Oval Office ambush and insult to our allies and all Americans, what do you say now?

Trump is "so mercurial"... how can one possibly ascertain his motives?? lol

valeryperry.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Very good analysis; however in the discussion on the possible reasons for gutting USAID they left out the point that an administration that has disdain for democratic values domestically will naturally cut support for them globally: http://www.democratizationpolicy.org/to-strangle-these-same-values-at-home-usaid-has-to-be-incapacitated-globally/

Excellent. Listened on my walk today but I’m going to listen once more before the SOTU.

btucker.net•22 hours ago

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social I wish you asked him directly whether his thinking has shifted since he wrote this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/11/22/doge-government-cuts-musk-ramaswamy/

Does he still think DOGE is being instructive?

achderflo.bsky.social•3 days ago

how‘s your update on „don‘t believe him“?

morralexand.bsky.social•2 days ago

At one point you talked about how Trump respects leaders who are dominant, most of whom are autocrats, and disrespects most leaders of democratic countries.

He has said (surprisingly) nice things about Starmer, so far at least. I wonder if that is because Labour won a huge majority.

brianfett.bsky.social•3 days ago

There is an alternate reality where somehow, Fareed Zakaria is our leader, and I hate the people who get to live in that reality so much.

intrusivesone.bsky.social•1 day ago

This one was a pleasant reprieve from the last episode which made me feel infinitely dumber for listening to it.

I’m glad you’re brining on different voices but some boomer Cuban with a persecution complex because of big tech just ain’t it bud

I loved the podcast. But occurs to me…why even start from the assumption that Trump has a strategy? He’s an empty, malicious, sadistic shell. His strategy is to get what he thinks he wants and to crush as many people along the way as he can. Full stop.
