TERM TWO: TRUMP REDUX

Following on from the success of the 'Road to the White House' series, The Balance now has a dedicated section exploring the second presidential term of Donald J. Trump.


A 'redux' is something that is brought back or revived - which sums up the return of Trump to the White House.   The question is how different it will be to his first term, and what effect that will have on the United States and the rest of the world.


Building on a 16 year background of covering U.S. politics, Kamahl will bring you his balanced take on the latest developments in the Trump Administration - as ever, based on knowledge and experience, but driven by data and precedent.

RE:BALANCE WITH KAMAHL SANTAMARIA

A month of the Trump Redux, and it's almost impossible to look away.  This podcast attempts to sort the important information from the noise - and there is plenty of both.

"YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER STARTED IT"


Donald Trump seems to have forgotten who started the war in Ukraine, and that it's not up to a country that's been invaded to make a deal to end it.

FREE SPEECH IN THE GULF OF AMEREXICO?


Donald Trump's "renaming" of the Gulf of Mexico isn't the major problem here - it's the White House punishing news organisations for not conforming to his new name for it.
