Trump's Come to Jesus

Apr 16th, 2026 9:00 AM

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Donald Trump’s latest late-night spiral as a barrage of erratic posts, attacks on Pope Leo XIV, NATO, and political enemies raises new questions about his stability. They analyze the escalating rhetoric, the role of figures like J. D. Vance as he distances himself from the Pope while promoting the administration’s agenda, and what it signals about the state of Trump’s inner circle. Kander and Gupta also dive into rising global tensions with Iran, stalled negotiations, economic anxiety at home, and alarming new data on inflation and consumer sentiment. Plus, they are joined by Ken Harbaugh to explore what recent international political shakeups can teach the U.S. about countering authoritarian movements and the growing backlash to AI data centers across the country.
