#65 - Project Extra: Trump Tower or Bleak House

In this bonus episode of the podcast, Aidan and cultural anthropologist, Jared Miracle, discuss Donald Trump's legislative victory on tax reform. Republicans from the Senate and the House of Representatives have agreed on a joint bill which will sanction significant restructuring to US taxation. The Washington Post and Fox News , to the surprise of nobody, have taken entirely different views on the bill. These contrasting stances are typical of the polarisation of political discourse in the age of Trump. Writing in the Post , Fareed Zakaria claimed that the bill is "ushering in a bleak future." However, David Moore of Fox News argued that Democrats "can't ever be happy by anything the president or congressional Republicans do." According to the media, America is either doomed or is on the march towards greatness. This bonus audio was recorded after Aidan and Jared's conversation for an upcoming special episode, ' 2017: The Year in Review '. The episode will be released later this month.
