Q&A: MAGA’s trust in Trump, US-EU divorce & Iran's Lego fightback
About this episode
Christiane and Jamie discuss MAGA supporters' trust in Trump, US-EU relations, Iran's propaganda efforts, and the media's neglect of humanitarian crises.
Christiane and Jamie tackle the question of why so many MAGA supporters still trust President Trump despite rising costs, broken promises and foreign wars. They also address whether Americans truly understand how much damage has been done to the country's standing in Europe. Plus, Christiane and Jamie break down Iran's surprisingly effective Lego-style propaganda videos, explaining why humour has become the Islamic Republic's most potent weapon against the Trump administration. They also tackle a question close to Christiane's heart - why devastating humanitarian crises, such as those in Sudan and Ethiopia, continue to be ignored by the world's media - and reflect on the most important stories they've covered as The Ex Files turns one!
