Episode notes

In the latest episode of America: A History in the Making, we dive into the evolving political landscape in the United States, focusing on recent developments regarding Trump's shift in stance on military aid to Ukraine.

We discuss how Trump's promise to provide weapons through NATO has sparked mixed reactions among his supporters, particularly from notable figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who openly criticizes his approach.

And we explore the implications of Elon Musk's potential formation of a new political party, examining the challenges he might face in a system traditionally dominated by two major parties. Finally, we discuss how these changes could signal cracks in the MAGA base and what that might mean for future elections.
