🚨 A president or a prophet? Power, war and self anointment collide. Day 47 and the spectacle turns surreal. Donald Trump posts an image of himself as Jesus Christ while a rift with the Pope deepens and a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz threatens the global economy. As “peace talks 2.0” are floated, the line between strategy, theatre and belief is becoming dangerously blurred. Tonight George Galloway asks the question others won’t. When political leaders present themselves in messianic terms while escalating war, what does that mean for the world? Is this diplomacy, delusion or doctrine? Joining George: Chris Hedges – Journalist, author and host of The Chris Hedges Report. A moral and political dissection of power, religion and the language of empire. Dan Bilzerian – US veteran and entrepreneur. A blunt take on American leadership, influence and the direction of US policy. Plus: Trump’s “messiah” image and the politics of self belief The Vatican rift and the collapse of moral authority The Hormuz blockade and the threat to global energy The Latest Gaza flotilla Peace talks 2.0 and whether they are real or tactical 📊 LIVE POLL: Will Trump’s Hormuz blockade force Iran to surrender? 📞 US: +1 844 944 33 44 📞 UK: 08 081 96 55 22 Watch live on YouTube and Facebook.
