BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
Trump wants Greenland and he's going to stamp his feet until he gets it. Jemma and Marina look back over a week which has included a lot of tariff threats, 'no comment' on military force, and a President who expects the rest of the world to just… nod along while he makes demands.
Marina Purkiss and Jemma Forte wade through a truly unhinged news cycle: from Trump’s Greenland obsession and the fallout across Europe, to Britain discovering that rolling out the red carpet doesn’t actually stop you getting slapped with tariffs.
They unpack:
- Why Greenland has suddenly become Trump’s favourite chew toy
- The US tariff threats hitting the UK, Denmark and beyond
- Starmer’s awkward position
- Britain’s alarming love affair with Palantir and Peter Thiel
- The surreal announcement of Trump’s self-appointed “Peace Board” (featuring some very familiar faces)
- Who’s finally standing up to Trump and who is embarrassingly getting on their knees
Plus: political backbone from Denmark, crowd chants in London, leaked clips, authoritarian vibes, tech bros, trade wars, and one musical number involving a Nazi that somehow makes everything feel slightly better.
Doomscrolling so you don’t have to, because apparently we’re all collateral damage now.
