  • What are we doing here?

    I appreciate the reporting that Scott and the rest of the team do here, but I don’t understand what value this podcast is supposed to offer me.

    NPR’s Up First and Politics pod already offer a snapshot and deep-dive into Trump’s latest shenanigans, respectively. I don’t need an even tinier micro-update popping into my feed.

    I think NPR would have been better served to let this feed die after Trump’s Trials or do something bolder than provide cliff notes to their flagship programming.

  • Important and impartial

    Keeps me up to date on what’s happening with POTUS in a neutral way while also not insulting my intelligence.

  • Necessary updates to orange chaos

    There’s so much political noise these days, and it’s genuinely hard to follow. But thanks to NPR‘s Trump‘s terms, I feel like I’m always aware of the orange man’s latest chaos. While I might be heavily biased, the team at NPR does an amazing job of reporting the facts without picking a side. Highly recommend! But the abundance of ads could be overwhelming some days.

  • I'd like to give this podcast 5 stars...

    However, it's only bc it seems that the commercial time seems disproportionate to the reporting time that I was not able to give it a 5th star.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump's SCOTUS wins and losses this term
Q: How did he take those defeats?
Tamara Keith explains that Trump criticized the court and framed losses as political considerations, while also noting his muted public response on certain issues, contrasting with his earlier campaign messaging.
Tim Kaine on why Senate vote to take away Trump's power to wage war with Iran matters
Q: Is this a milestone moment for you?
Yes, because with both houses now opposing the president's approach, Congress is asserting its authority and signaling that the war requires congressional oversight and legitimacy, even if the path to actual policy change remains complex.
U.S. military strikes Iran amid ongoing negotiations to end war
Q: So what were these US attacks on Iran trying to achieve?
The attacks were framed by U.S. officials as self-defense aimed at disabling missile launch sites and boats to pressure Iran, especially on the strategic Strait of Hormuz and the broader aim of reopening trade routes, while negotiations to end the war continue. The responses from Iran and allies indicate a contested balance of leverage as talks proceed.
Trump's Truth Social lays bare narrow obsessions of an extremely online president
