Trumpism Abroad—With American Prestige
Trumpism Abroad—With “American Prestige”
Daniel Bessner and Derek Davison join us at Fighting Fascism for a wide-ranging crossover on Trumpism, fascism, Iran, Israel, USAID, and the future of Democratic foreign policy.

Here's where to find podcasts from The Nation. Political talk without the boring parts, featuring the writers, activists and artists who shape the news, from a progressive perspective.
That’s right, friends… it’s another crossover episode! We were joined by Daniel Bessner and Derek Davison from American Prestige, a podcast that offers a left analysis on international affairs. Which… we got to eventually (Iran, Israel, USAID, what Democrats’ foreign policy should look like, all the hits)… but only after Daniel and Aaron ended once and for all the age-old debate of: Is Trumpism fascism? All this and more on this banger of a crossover!

No, you're NOT seeing double. It's four F's this week as we release a bonus episode of Fighting Fascism to talk about Tuesday night's historic victories for Democrats. How it confirms some or maybe even all of our priors, why everyone seems to talk like Zohran these days, and who is in good pole position to run in 2028. No guest this episode, but Smucker joins Matt and (a healthy) Aaron for all the punditry.
