Fancy a fever tree in a glass with ice and rum.

You thought I was going to say gin, didn't you?

But I'm talking about fever tree ginger beer,

made from three gingers for that perfect blend of freshness, sweetness and spiciness.

Delicious with rum, or on its own.

Fever tree ginger beer, mix with the best.

Mmm, that spices things up.

Hello and welcome to the Americano podcast, a series of discussions about American politics, power and prejudices.

It is 2025 and Donald Trump is president once again of the United States.

We will, of course, be following the moves of the Donald's and his second administration very closely. However, it won't just be politics

for us this year. We'll also talk a lot and cover American culture, life and the arts.

I should also remind you, because my producer, Natasha Natasha will not let me hear the end of it,

that we are on Spectator TV.

So head to our YouTube channel to watch that.

Today we're going to be talking about whether Donald Trump is on a winning streak

or whether Maga, his movement, is beginning to fall apart. Because it seems to me

both things might be true at the moment, just looking at my side of the pond. But somebody has

come over from the, from the, what is I going to say? Someone has come over from the swamp, from New York,

in fact.

Roger Kimball, our esteemed columnist and contributor.

It's great to have you in London, Roger.

Lovely to be here, Freddie.
