Description

The recent Trump vs. Biden televised debate has led to calls for President Joe Biden to be replaced ahead of the 2024 U.S Election later this year. In the first half of this episode, we discuss Joe Biden's political career, and in the latter half we cover the almost Shakespearean tragedy of his life course, from hawkish statesman who suffered tragedy upon tragedy in his personal life, ending up publicly humiliated on TV due to late stage dementia. We consider that why the average age of politicians is increasing might be due to younger generations distrust in institutions and politics? Plus, Biden as a quintessentially 20th century politician, whilst Trump a firmly 21st century figure, Howard Hughes as the real American hero, Biden as Junior Soprano, and Trump as the prototype of the gold rush modern-day cowboy of a lawless frontier.
