What’s really behind Trump’s tariff madness? Are we watching the US slide into authoritarianism in real time? How should Europe …

American cars are shit
WWE RAMPAGE is all this is about including hair shots and You're fired pre apprentice days
Starmer needs to reject appeasement… are we really going to go through this again?
There are few whose opinions i trust but Rory stewart's opinion i trust fully🎉
Bannon is a grifter and a nutcase. It's terrifying to think people like this are influencing Trump's policies.
A bit rich for Campbell to criticize Trump as undemocratic. He was the man who called for the reversal of the Brexit vote. Seems he only likes the outcome of a vote if it goes his way.
Rory. China does not have anywhere near $7 trillion, not even a trillion, in US treasuries. Show is great w/o need for such wild exaggeration.
The whole US government has been gutted by doge, tens of thousands have been fired for cause, decades of important data is being deliberately destroyed, universities and professors and students under attack – it’s a complete far right Christian fascist oligarchic tech bro take over. Just wait until they trash social security and the ada – the administration is obviously fishing for violence so they can declare martial law ( and crash the dollar)
We’re in for a bumpy ride
Trump himself has talked about deporting US felons to foreign jails – so far 5 citizens have been.
Many gang tattoos are based on luxury brands – LV being one
May as well call maga bloods
America as a brand is as
Elon is to Tesla….
Couldn’t stomach setting eyes on Netanyahu. Proud to be Scottish & on the right side of history. 🏴
Anything that Trump says should definitely be filed under his favourite statement “ FAKE NEWS”.
VW, BMW and MBs are overpriced.
The interviews are on fox, because fox will sell their lies, never actually question any statements. Just promote fascist crap.
Rory – Gaza medics were not "killed" they were deliberately targeted by the IDF & murdered ….most of the media ..the BBC being a particularly heinous complicit news outlet ….are still avoiding the words war crimes in a scale we have only known from Assad …arguably Israel is worse than Assad if for no other reason than they are an ally of the UK. It has taken a lot for you 2 to finally say what thousands of us have been saying for months & months
Lets get this correct, A is left, and Rory is right, they are both academic, their cv s, and past careers are impressive, they have life experience and an astonishing contact list. Whether you agree or not is another thing because they are allowed to say what they want, oh, and you are allowed to stop the video.
This is the most intelligent & balanced political podcast on the net . Love it👍

Thank you for doing what you are doing. It is fantastic to hear two intelligent, informed, level headed people discuss this mess. I'm getting by because I get to watch. By the way, you guys are struggling with all of this – try living here.
Rory hasn't a clue about China.
Trump the thump living in self denial

The far right are far more active on social media than normal people. Its the only place where they can easily find like minded people.
“The question is whether or not they’ve got any guts…”. Republicans answered that question a long time ago with a deafening “NO.”
Gentleman we seem to be crossing many of the rules against humanity that we thought were forbidden in the bad times of the last century this needs a massive response against to show a common responce before it is too late ,

Ha! Yes, But Even Tin Pots hold water wheread the Leaky Far Left only has puddles and Birmingham trash to offer the world.
Yes. Wake up, world. In a nutshell 47:00–48:25.
How far? The Supreme Court is corrupt. The House and Senate are paralyzed. The military is now under the command of MAGA senior officers who will (and likely already have) betray their oath to support and defend the Constitution. Twenty two states are MAGA states. There are 1000+ armed Nazi brown shirts (Proud Boys and Oath Keepers) lurking, waiting to be called to action by tRump. People are already being “disappeared” and sent to foreign prisons. It is past “how far” to “what comes after? I don’t know what kind of country I am living in now. But it is not a democracy. All the major branches of government are corrupt and compromised. Free speech is under attack. Religious fundamentalist’s rule is growing exponentially. The economy is crashing. Shooting wars loom on several different fronts. It is getting ever harder to trust anyone. (I’m even growing shy of leaving negative opinions like this one and will likely, soon, disconnect from any and all forms of social media.) America is way past the point of no return.
Would not all of this make more sense if he was in fact working for the Kremlin?
Depresses me too. Here we have some representatives of the metropolitan elite. A pair of bitter, whining, lefty, remoaners spouting one-sided, groundless twaddle – each simpering over the other's pontifications. Their back-slapping banter and self-regard explains much about the insidious, far left, tyranny now clouding the skies of the UK.
The world has gone!! We have an elected (my god you lot are worse than I thought) as president. You supported the IRA when they were bombing us every week, you back Israel because the own the banks, you back Russia because well god knows. I’d hate to American but even more so right now. You haven’t even got a party to hold his lies to account!!!
How long until Rory is detained at the border? Refused entry or even arrested?
It might be his version of a debt jubilee but I could be wrong
8:27 😂 Great sum up Campbell, Trump is the proverbial showrunner, producer and leading actor of the Trump Legacy. An unprecedented TV series, compiling Tariff Wars, European Conflicts and the continued fight against the US Secret State.
Rory needs to watch his words, he could end up in El Salvador if he’s not careful.
Funny, basically the you are the same as your conservative party in the UK. And correct me if I'm wrong, but you wer part of the Conservatives party, right?
Thank you for your sanity. ❤
I disagree with Rory in that the only thing that matters is Trump and his cronies are out to make themselves richer. The rest is a mechanism to do it. I never thought I would support China, but it looks as if they will stand up to these Republicans. Keep taxing penguins 😮
Wanted to leave this on a more recent video although it pertains to something Rory said in a discussion about Japan and British trade unionists in British politics. Rory's observation that British politicians are increasingly 'in the family buisiness' was absolutely spot on. Although Alistair batted this point away I honestly belive that when politics run in the family (as it does in my own) it also breeds a nerdy technocratic myopia which IS the reason why westminster politicians fail to connect with the majority of the electorate. More dangerously this lack of scope in career politicians is what creates the space for nasty ghastly charismatic extremists to optimise public disatisfacton for their own ends. Should we talk about the Westminster bubble as having less to do with a background of private education and more to do with any circumstance which breeds a detached administrative approach to governing for the people.
What we need to understand is Trump and bannon consider everyone the enemy and they have declared an economic war. We need to understand we are now at war with USA, don't underestimate their intentions. This is literally a WAR! Mental isn't it.
Is China that vulnerable?
I do not know.
As far as I know, their export to the US amounts to 15% of its total export and only less than 3% of GDP
When the economy tanks the rich get relatively richer. Doesn’t help inequality.
Nobody really likes him deep down. It's always been like that and he knows it. People surround him because they smell money but he was never accepted by the 'old money' of New York, knowing his father was a slumlord, fraudster and investor in shady deals. He's always had a chip on his shoulder and an axe to grind because of that. Add that he's charmless, witless and humourless and you have the Trump of 2025. Even his family has stepped back and doing the absolute minimum only to stay in line for the inheritance. Where is Ivanka? Kushner? Even Melania has refused to live with him in the White House.
The two dumbest people in politics. Both architects of the Iraq fiasco – that 2 trillion disaster that cost millions of lives. Tariffs on imports from China are a completely appropriate and proportional response to the egregious breaches of IP protection, labour rights and environmental standards.
If you look at King Trump and really look at what he’s done & doing, I do believe he’s the biggest Terrorist the world has ever seen.
Could Trump be doing it to essentially enrich himself?.. It's chaos, the financial markets go up and down following his tweets, which allows him to predict when to invest and buy? Him and his cronies… yes, I know how it sounds… it's crude. But it's Trump . The guy who goes through life evading all…And the fact that the media all around the world are just waiting for his every words, it's a showman dream… I don't think honestly, it goes further than that for Trump's brain.
Trust in America has totally gone. A broken teapot can be glued back together again but will forever be a broken teapot.
