The Truth About Trump’s Time Interview (And Why He’s Angry)
Donald Trump gave Time Magazine a wide-ranging interview, and TJ Walker breaks down what Trump chose to focus on, from his Supreme Court picks and approval ratings to his complaints about the questions reporters were asking. Then the episode turns to an extraordinary piece of political history: the Trump Justice Department hearing arguments that Richard Nixon may have gotten a raw deal over Watergate. TJ looks at what that says about political power, historical memory, and what happens when even long-settled events become partisan arguments. Also in this episode: Tennessee’s troubled attempt to execute Krista Pike raises new questions about the death penalty and government competence. The Portland Trail Blazers hire and fire broadcaster Braden Bell in the same day after old social-media posts surface. And TJ connects all four stories through one question: what happens when institutions, politicians, and the internet refuse to forget, or decide to rewrite, the past?
