Keen On Democracy
The Apotheosis of Donald Trump? Peter Wehner on Madness, Mayhem and How Trump Eludes Shakespearean Tragedy

“His descent is in a sense our descent.” — Peter Wehner on Trump at 80 Donald Trump turned 80 two weeks ago. But Peter Wehner's timely Atlantic piece, “The Apotheosis of Donald Trump,” isn't much of a birthday present. Wehner even suggests that for all Trump's madness, mayhem and malevolence, the orange octogenarian eludes Shakespearean tragedy. So no historic hall of infamy for Donald. He's too sad for that. Trump is a man, Wehner says, of borderless corruption — malicious, totally corrupt, without any visible redeeming qualities. But he isn't King Lear. Trump lacks Lear's complexity, Wehner says. Lear was a figure with whom you could have some empathy. Trump is not. He is, as Wehner notes, “a flatter figure in that sense” — but that doesn't make him any less dangerous. For the DC-based Wehner, what makes Trump more dangerous, as an octogenarian, is his decomposition. The signs are everywhere: the disinhibition intensifying, the impulsivity more easily triggered, the volatility producing a foreign policy that no ally can track or trust. His descent, Wehner warns, might be our descent. Peak Trump. The apotheosis of a pathetically malevolent madman. Just in time for the semiquincentennial, which Wehner will “celebrate” at Monticello. Five Takeaways •       Trump at 80: The Apotheosis and the Decomposition: Wehner's Atlantic piece, written to mark Trump's 80th birthday, argues that what we are seeing is not just the decline of an old man but a visible decomposition in his mental and physical capacities that is making him more, not less, dangerous. The disinhibition is more intense. The impulsivity is more easily triggered. The volatility is producing a foreign policy that no ally can track or trust. Trump 2.0 is more dangerous than Trump 1.0 — and Trump 1.0 was not a walk in the park. The question is not whether this ends well. The question is how badly it ends. •       Not King Lear: A Man of Borderless Corruption: Wehner uses a King Lear allusion in his Atlantic essay but hesitates to lean on it. Lear was a complicated figure — someone you could have empathy with, who saw things at the end he hadn't seen earlier. Trump is not like that. He is, as best Wehner can tell, a man of borderless corruption, malicious from head to toe, with no visible redeeming qualities — a flatter figure in the Shakespearean sense. That flatness makes the Lear parallel partial. But it does not diminish the danger. His descent is in a sense our descent. •       European Mystification: When It Happens Twice, That Breaks Trust: Andrew has just returned from Europe, where every prominent journalist and historian he met was mystified by Trump. Wehner agrees: Trump is sui generis, unlike any leader the post-war world has produced. What he says is particularly disturbing is the second election. If it had happened once, Europe could have told itself it was a parenthesis. When it happens twice, that breaks trust. Even if the next president is sane and rational, there is no guarantee the following one will be. That uncertainty, Wehner says, is a real inflection point in the relationship between the United States and the rest of the world. •       The Crack-Up of MAGA World: The cult-like grip Trump had on the Republican Party and the MAGA base is no longer there. His approval among Republicans has dropped from the nineties to the seventies — still high, but significant. And the fissures in MAGA world are, in Wehner's word, extraordinary: Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly and Candace Owens have broken from the movement or turned on its leadership. Marjorie Taylor Greene too. The crack-up has begun. Whether it is fast enough or decisive enough to matter remains to be seen. But the movement that once seemed invincible is showing its first serious cracks. •       Monticello for the 250th: Welcoming New Immigrants: Wehner and his wife are considering spending July 4 at Monticello — Thomas Jefferson's house in Charlottesville, Virginia — where a friend has invited them to an event welcoming new American citizens and immigrants. It is, he says, going to be a birthday that is not untainted by sadness even as there will also be hope of what can still happen. Six days from the 250th, Andrew asks what Jefferson would think of Trump. Wehner: probably not terribly favourable. Probably true of most of the founders. About the Guest Peter Wehner is a Contributing Editor at The Atlantic and a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. He served as a senior policy adviser in the administrations of Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush. He is a frequent contributor to The New York Times. His Atlantic piece “The Apotheosis of Donald Trump” was published June 14, 2026. References: •       Peter Wehner, “The Apotheosis of Donald Trump,” The Atlantic, June 14, 2026 — the piece that occasions this conversation. •       Episode 2945: Samuel Moyn on Gerontocracy in America — referenced at the opening. •       Monticello, Charlottesville, Virginia — Thomas Jefferson's home; venue for the July 4 immigrant-welcoming event Wehner mentions. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 3,000 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting. WebsiteSubstackYouTubeApple PodcastsSpotify Chapters: (00:31) - Introduction: Trump at 80 and the apotheosis (02:07) - Visible decomposition: more dangerous than Trump 1.0 (02:54) - Something to celebrate or be concerned about?

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message|Donald Trump's second term is rewriting presidential history with a breathtaking sprint of achievements that may signal the dismantling of FDR's nearly century-old New Deal coalition. In just 165 days, Trump has accumulated foreign policy triumphs, legal victories, and domestic policy wins at a pace unseen in modern presidential history.The centerpiece of this remarkable run is the "Big Beautiful Bill" signed into law on Independence Day - a comprehensive piece of legislation that doubles down on supply-side economics in ways not seen since Reagan's presidency. Far from the conventional wisdom that predicted economic doom from tariffs, the economy shows declining inflation, four-year low gas prices, stable unemployment, and record stock market highs.Trump's foreign policy achievements have been equally impressive. Operation Midnight Hammer struck Iran's nuclear facilities, restoring American deterrence and credibility on the world stage. NATO allies have committed to unprecedented 5% of GDP defense spending after years of American pressure. A US-brokered peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda demonstrates Trump's expanding diplomatic influence while securing critical mineral rights.The Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v. Cato Inc. represents a structural change in the balance of power between the judiciary and executive branch by restricting nationwide injunctions - judicial tools that had been weaponized against Trump's agenda. Meanwhile, immigration enforcement has achieved what many thought impossible: a 93% reduction in border encounters compared to the previous year, with zero releases into the United States for consecutive months.What we're witnessing may be more than just a successful presidential term - it could be the beginning of a new American golden age predicated on economic growth, renewed global leadership, and the rolling back of the administrative state. The next three years will determine whether Trump can maintain this momentum and cement his place as one of the most consequential presidents in American history, alongside Washington and Lincoln.Explore the full story of Trump's remarkable comeback in Newt Gingrich's "Trump's Triumph: America's Greatest Comeback" and follow our podcast for continuing analysis of this pivotal moment in American politics.Key Points from the Episode:• Trump's Big Beautiful Bill signed into law on July 4th represents a doubling down on supply-side economics• Operation Midnight Hammer successfully targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, restoring American deterrence• Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. CASA Inc. restricts nationwide injunctions that previously hampered executive action• NATO allies committed to raising defense spending to 5% of GDP following Trump's pressure• Border encounters down 93%, with zero illegal immigrants released into the US for consecutive months• Economic indicators defying predictions: declining inflation, four-year low gas prices, stable 4% unemployment• Trump's success potentially signals the end of FDR's New Deal coalition after nearly a century• Foreign policy victories include US-brokered peace agreement between Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda• Successful tariff negotiations with China and Canada demonstrating America's economic leverageOther resources: Want to leave a review?

Jason Hartman and Adam tackle a potential sign that we're entering more financial risk as mortgages that aren't backed by the government are being bundled together and sold as bonds in the marketplace. It's not being done on a grand scale YET, but it's a practice that's growing quickly and steadily. Remember, this is part of what caused the Great Recession, so it's something worth watching.
