>> when has Trump been anti-putin? Many times! President Donald Trump agreed with @piersmorgan that Russian president Vladimir Putin is an "evil genocidal monster" "I do [agree]. Who wouldnt? [...] When you see rockets going into apartment buildings..." Trump also said: The Russian attack on Ukraine is appalling. It's an outrage, and an atrocity that should never have been allowed to occur,” he said. “We are praying for the proud people of Ukraine, God bless them all.” Trump 🇺🇲 July 15, 2023: ... when Putin went into, ... and look, it's so sad to see, when he went into Ukraine, and he, you know, did what he did, he would never have done that in a million years, it wasn't going to happen, I used to talk to him, it [Ukraine] was the apple of his [Putin's] eye, I knew that, I knew him very well, I actually had a very good relationship with him. Everyone said that was horrible. Don't forget, I'm the one that closed down his pipeline, I'm the one that gave them the Javelins, you know, the tank buster They say, Obama gave him sheets Trump gave them Javelins I was the worst thing that ever happened to Russia, but I got along with him. But think of it, I closed down the biggest job they ever had, which was a pipeline, which was going to make them so much. Biden, in his first week, approved the pipeline, and let Russia build it... I had it turned down, they had started it, it was almost finished, but I stopped it! Who could do that, nobody else but me. Nobody! All these candidates, they're lightweights.

As an American who works in American national politics, all this shows me is that Louis Theroux doesn't even have a basic understanding of US policy. If you spend all of your time talking to members of the far-right in the US, you'll get deeply confused impressions of Trump's viability as a candidate and political perceptions of Trump.

exactly, the fact Trump did not start any new war is really not any evidence of him being anti-intervensionist. He did not pull out of Afganistan, he expanded the drone war, he assassinated Khasem Suleimani, he took over the oil fields east of the Euphrat river in Syria, he provided Saudi Arabia with weapons against Houtis in Yemen. He basically governed like a standard neo-con Republican president within the confides of current political paradigm. Despite his image of being the populist maverick leader he basically bowed down to the American foreign policy and military industrial blob. I actually respect Biden for having the courage to go against so much establishment pressure to withdraw from Afganistan.

Trump won the US presidency. He can do it again. Last election was the only election where they didn't stop counting votes in three swing states until Biden got over the line. If it would have ended on Election Night, Trump would have won. Because we all know those young Democrat voters love using the US Postal service. He's going to win again.

Trump might be appealing because he didn't want a war with Russia like the established politicians, like Biden, Clinton etc, who are pretty much embedded in the industrial military complex. The other reason is that he is does not play the race baiting game, the sexist equality game or the tear down the borders game. However, who knows what is really planned for us behind closed doors. Trump may just be another distraction.

As a child of the elite (his father is Paul Theroux, his brother Justin Thoreaux) Louis is much further from reality than most of the people voting for Trump. As a member of the media class in good standing, it's also a pretty good bet that he's a complete sociopath who (wittingly or not) puts the prerogatives of the ruling class above those of any other group. If this were not the case, he would have already been weeded out of the mainstream, like most good journalists. He's basically confessed in an NPR interview that the "Louis" he presented on his old Weird Weekends show was a character he invented, and not the real him, which already shows a certain level of sociopathy.

Trump is actually quite consistent in that his actions are always self serving. And I don't think we should brush of his rhetoric as crazy talk The difference this time is trump has a plan. He wasn't prepared last time, and he's not gonna appoint people who will tell him no this time.

In particular the recent nominee race in New Hampshire and Iowa - the numbers are not there to support Trump winning the presidential race. Conversely, they actually show support is decreasing for Trump and critically public sentiment has not grown for him since 2020 - contrary to what this channel appears to report here and there.

TR usually manages to interview interesting and relevant commentators, but I'm not sure LT qualifies for that description. The number of Republicans who still support Trump is astonishing. We have Fox News and others to thank for that, as well as the oddly sycophantic politicians in both houses. But as Trump continues to ramble on during his rallies, I think it will gradually become obvious that even if Biden is seen by some as too old, at least his age has brought some wisdom to the game.
