On the first day of the new year, Donald Trump wrote on his social platform Truth Social, what he wanted for 2026. And I quote, “Peace, peace on earth”. Two days later, Trump invaded Venezuela. And now, the American president is threatening to invade at least four other countries. Today, Bruce Wolpe, senior fellow at the United States Studies Centre, and a former congressional staffer, on whether Trump’s imperialist aggression, and a recent mutiny of more than a dozen top-ranking MAGA members, might break his hold on power.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce Wolpe’s latest US commentary focuses on a second Trump term, highlighting concerns about the US becoming more authoritarian, his use of executive power, and the potential impact on international relations and Australia. He has recently discussed issues such as the escalating rhetoric from Trump, his challenges to democratic institutions, and potential shifts in US foreign policy regarding issues like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “Everyone knew that once Congress passed legislation requiring the Justice Department to release all the Jeffrey Epstein files, US President Donald Trump would go on a tear to “flood the zone” with other distractions so he could command the agenda. And that's exactly what he did. Over the next four days, Trump met with FIFA President Gianni Infantino in the Oval Office to announce expedited visas for fans at next year's World Cup (though, pointedly, not for all)” https://www.ussc.edu.au/trump-s-attacks-are-worsening-why-is-he-becoming-even-more-vengeful The post Saturday, 29th, Nov, 2025: Bruce Wolpe, Senior Fellow, US Study Centre, Latest from the US, the Release of the Epstein Files; Trump’s LGBTIQA+ Supporters appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

The U.S. federal government has entered a shutdown, a few hours after the U.S. Senate failed to pass a short-term spending bill on Tuesday night US East Coast time. It's the first government shutdown in nearly seven years. The last and also the longest federal government shutdown occurred from late 2018 to early 2019 during President Trump's first term when Democrats opposed funding the U.S.-Mexico border wall. The result was a shutdown lasting over five weeks, during which some 800,000 federal employees were forced to work without pay or take unpaid leave. Hundreds of thousands of federal employees will be forced to take unpaid leave this time too, with some public services potentially suspended or delayed, and the release of economic data possibly impacted as well. Bruce Wolpe is a senior fellow at the University of Sydney's United States Studies Centre and has served on the Democratic staff in the US Congress. He's been speaking to SBS's Virginia Langeberg about the impact of the shutdown.

Donald Trump is favoured to be the Republican candidate, despite facing multiple charges over removing classified documents. President Joe Biden has indicated he intends to run again, despite the fact he'll be 82 at the time of the poll and 86 if he completed another four-year term. In this podcast, author Bruce Wolpe - a senior fellow at the United States Centre at the University of Sydney, who previously worked with the Democratic Party in Congress, discusses his new book “Trump's Australia”. Wolpe argues a second Trump term would have shocking consequences for Australia.
