Trumpdate: Does the anonymous NYT op-ed spell the end for Donald Trump? - a podcast by ABC Radio

from 2018-09-07T16:00

An anonymous op-ed published by the New York Times has exploded like a hand grenade in Washington D.C.

The op-ed was reportedly written by a "senior figure in the Trump administration".

The author said they are among a group of senior officials inside the White House who are working to slow down the worst parts of the President's agenda.

They said that, despite being a supporter of Republican policies, they are disturbed by the President's amorality, and his erratic and anti-democratic behaviour.

What does this mean for the future of Donald Trump's presidency, and the Mueller investigation?

Matt is joined by Gorana Grgic from the US Studies Centre at the University of Sydney and Emma Shortis from the European Union Centre at RMIT University in Melbourne.
