In Donald Trump’s first administration, he was surrounded by buffers and filters—but in his second, he’s surrounded by amplifiers. On a special edition of Washington Week With The Atlantic, the foreign-affairs columnist Thomas Friedman joins to discuss the chaos of Trump’s conflicts, and how world leaders are viewing the instability.Meanwhile, the end of Donald Trump’s friendship with Elon Musk was never really a question of “if,” but “when.” “Nothing here is modeled, nothing here is stress-tested, everything is a rift,” Friedman said last night. “The country is being run like the Trump organization today, not like the United States of America.”When it comes to Trump and Musk’s feud, “we’re dealing with two extremely unstable characters,” Friedman continues. “But what’s really more important is: What’s the wider world audience saying?”Watch the full episode with Friedman and The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, here.
