The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

It’s officially been one year of Trump 2.0—and it’s hard to overstate just how much has changed. Trump is back in the Oval Office with fewer guardrails, a more loyal team, and a far greater willingness to push presidential power than ever before. Jessica Tarlov sits down with historian and Letters from an American writer Heather Cox Richardson to take stock of Trump’s first year back in office—how history may remember it, what it means to have a president with so few constraints, his open assault on truth and democratic norms, and whether the U.S. is sliding toward an imperial presidency. Then, they turn to Trump’s unlikely transformation from anti-globalist firebrand to guest of honor in Davos—and what that shift says about today’s global order and the possible unraveling of the post–World War II diplomatic system. And finally, they unpack the sudden wave of 2016 nostalgia online: why people are longing for that moment, and what we’re really missing when we call it “the last normal year.”
