Summary

Charlie Sykes is joined by Tim O’Brien of Bloomberg Opinion to unpack the chaos of Trump's tariff war, his public humiliation by Vladimir Putin, and his escalating disregard for the rule of law. They discuss how the president’s unchecked impulses are upending markets, weakening U.S. alliances, and threatening legal norms—all while rewarding loyalty and punishing dissent. From stock tips on social media to ignoring Supreme Court rulings, this episode explores what happens when a president governs entirely by id.
