Is Trump AFRAID of the Media?

Is Trump AFRAID of the Media?

Has Donald Trump fundamentally changed the relationship between the White House and the American media? In this episode of SOS America, Charles Feldman is joined by Sharon Waxman, founder and editor of The Wrap, for an in-depth discussion about how journalism has evolved during the Trump era—and whether those changes are permanent. They explore why news organisations appear to cover Donald Trump differently than any previous president, whether journalists have become more confrontational, and if some members of the media are genuinely intimidated by Trump and his influence. The conversation also tackles one of the biggest challenges facing modern journalism: the rise of social media as a primary news source. With nothing more than a smartphone and an internet connection, anyone can present themselves as a journalist, publish breaking news, and shape public opinion often without any formal training or editorial oversight. Is social media exposing the truth the traditional media missed... or creating entirely new narratives that millions accept as fact? In this episode: - Has Donald Trump permanently changed political journalism? - Why does the media treat Trump differently? - Are journalists afraid of Trump? - Can anyone with a phone now be considered a journalist? - Is traditional journalism losing credibility? - How social media is reshaping news and public trust. - Are facts becoming less important than narratives?

Has Any US President Damaged Global Alliances More Than Trump?

n this episode of SOS America, Charles Feldman speaks with leading international law expert Oona Hathaway about the foundations of the global order created after World War II, and whether today’s political climate is weakening the rules that have governed international relationships for decades. They discuss: - What the post-war international order actually means - Whether Donald Trump is the first US president to openly violate that order - America’s historical record on international law - Whether Trump represents a more dangerous break from past presidents - How ignoring laws and treaties can damage trust between nations - Why presidential disregard for legal norms can have long-term global consequences - Hathaway explains why international law depends not only on enforcement, but on belief and mutual respect — and what happens when world leaders undermine that system. If leaders act as though laws don’t matter, does that signal to the world that the rules themselves are meaningless?
