About this episode

Donald Trump has told reporters (several times) that he is “ not thrilled “ by Benjamin Netanyahu's bombing of Hamas targets in Qatar. He’s told Netanyahu it’s “an unfortunate incident “. Just like he’s asked Putin nicely “not to bomb Ukraine“. When is Trump going to realise his words have little effect on either man? He’s failed to stop either war despite coming into office promising to stop them - is he proving once again he’s the TACO president? Is he actually scared of other strong men leaders?

Later, we revisit the story Trump calls a “Democrat hoax “ - his relationship with Epstein now revealed in print form. We talk to the Republican strategist Doug Heye.
