Michael Tracey: Trump, His Backers, Administration, Gaza, Ukraine & The Lack Of Criticism In Alt Media



In todays interview I spoke with Michael Tracey, where we focus on the lack of criticism of Trump in the media space, his base and campaign. We discuss the Pro-Israel donors of Trump, including the Adelson's, his administration picks, the lack of pushback during his campaign, his Gaza & Ukraine policy and more.


Although I personally prefer Trump foreign policy wise, compared to previous presidents, where he is slightly outside the Beltway club, there is also a huge blind spot on Trump and basically zero pushback on his so called "America First" policies, from his base and alternative media space.

Michael's Links & Bio


Over the years I have contributed to a wide range of publications across the political spectrum, from The Nation to The American Conservative, the New York Daily News to the New York Post, and many more. A substantial portion of recent columns can be found at the website Unherd. From 2017 to 2018, I was a correspondent for The Young Turks, which was a peculiar adventure; prior to that I was a columnist for VICE. Since 2019, I have been largely funded by online supporters to engage in independent journalism and analysis. Lots of people seem to have very excitable reactions to my Twitter account. Also, look me up on Clubhouse — that app’s a real trip.
