Trump and His Strategies (10-2025)

Three world class scholars debate Trump’s strategies, policies, and results. 

*Niall Ferguson, VD Hanson, S Kotkin: 3 Historians Debate The Era of Trump (UnCommon Knowledge 10-15-2025) 

Each has made good points on each topic. It is very high quality. 

A little earlier Niall Ferguson gave two (or three) interviews. The one with Bari Weiss is very helpful, perhaps because in part Bari Weiss is a very good journalist.
