Trumpocalypse Now

Sydney Writers' Festival - Trumpocalypse Now

It seemed improbable enough in 2016, but here we are now in Donald Trump’s second term at the White House. What does the return of the 45th President of the United States mean for the international superpower? And how will it affect the rest of us?

Listen in as journalist and political commentator Peter Beinart, foreign correspondent Nick Bryant and Director of the Australia Institute’s International & Security Affairs Program Emma Shortis join host Barrie Cassidy to unpack the election outcome, Trump’s first few months in office and what to expect over the next four years. This event is Auslan interpreted. Breakfast will be provided.
