Trump’s Midterm Gamble Meets Growing Corruption Questions
Summary
Mary Trump discusses the critical US midterm elections, arguing that Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada and self-centered behavior are undermining his party’s chances. She warns that if Republicans lose both houses, an "unmoored" Trump could escalate corruption and foreign policy missteps. The conversation also addresses the scandal of a Russian oligarch funding Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding and Jared Kushner’s influence on Ukraine policy, while Trump’s comments on breaking up the UK are viewed as provocative and uninformed.
