Trump says the Pope should stay out of politics while posting himself as a messianic figure and demanding a submissive public culture. In this new episode of The Oath and The Office, we explain why authoritarians don’t want religion out of politics—they want to control it

Is Trump Committing War Crimes? Lawrence Douglas on Hegseth, Nuremberg, and the Criminal State Podcast Episode · The Oath and The Office · April 9 · 1h 2m

Trump isn’t just testing the limits of power. He’s testing whether the law still means anything at all. This week on The Oath and The Office, we ask the hardest question yet: are Trump’s threats and actions crossing into war crimes territory? Listen now.

Such an interesting podcast, chockablock with information. I doubt he’ll ever be made accountable. You’d think people would realize the consequences of that by now. Just look at Reconstruction’s aftermath.
Thanks, guys.

Trump likely thinks he is using the “madman theory” of diplomacy. The problem is that he may not be acting.

Transcript: Angry Trump Unravels as Polls Worsen and Legal Losses Grow As Trump’s fury darkens amid a spate of bad news, an expert on the presidency digs into the bigger story here: Trump is learning there are serious limits on his power, and he’s beside himself over it.
