Episode The Damage Behind Donald’s Politics of Spectacle

0:00 25:28

Mary and veteran White House journalist April Ryan discuss Donald Trump’s sweeping vanity projects in Washington, growing national security concerns, MAGA failures, and what these priorities reveal about an administration consumed by spectacle and self-interest. They also examine the growing progressive resistance and what it could mean heading into the midterms.

April Ryan is a veteran White House journalist who has covered the presidency since 1997. She works as the Washington bureau chief and senior White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks and has reported on several administrations from both parties. Ryan is also a frequent political commentator on television and is known for asking pointed questions during White House press briefings, particularly on issues affecting Black communities and urban policy.
