SWF Livestream: Barrie Cassidy and friends, Trumpocalypse Now

Next date: Sunday, 25 May 2025 | 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM

What to expect from President Trump’s second time around.

It seemed improbable enough in 2016, but here we are now in Donald Trump’s second term at the White House.

What does the return of the 45th President of the United States mean for the international superpower?

And how will it affect the rest of us?

Listen in as journalist and political commentator Peter Beinart, foreign correspondent Nick Bryant and Director of the Australia Institute’s International & Security Affairs Program Emma Shortis join host Barrie Cassidy to unpack the election outcome, Trump’s first few months in office and what to expect over the next four years.
