Description

Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Yale Professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a leading expert on leadership, corporate ethics, and government accountability. He’s the Senior Associate Dean at the Yale School of Management, organizer of the CEO Summit, and author of “Firing Back,” where he wrote about Donald Trump. After spending a weekend with him at Yale, I knew I had to bring him on the show. We break down the dangerous mix of spectacle and power behind Trump’s second-term agenda, from chaotic trade wars and hollow cabinet picks to the politicization of education and dismantling of oversight. Professor Sonnenfeld offers chilling insights into how Trump’s reality-TV ethos is shaping public policy, why authoritarianism feeds on chaos and loyalty, and what business leaders and civil society must do now to defend our democracy.

We didn’t have most of these problems when I was in my youth. Corporations could NOT make political contributions, individuals had strict contribution limits, SuperPacs didn’t exist, and the League of Women voters held debates based on the issues. Going back to that would help make America great again.

All the horrific stuff that T rump and Musk did. They did rig the election. Where’s my early vote from Nevada. Why is it that no one can get to all his corruptness, like illegitimate doctor records. He shouldn’t have been able to run.
