What Trump’s second inauguration means for us

Last night I spoke about the second inauguration of Donald Trump with

Peter Bale

in a ‘pop-up’ Hoon live video chat on the Substack app on phones.

Here’s the summary of the lightly edited video above:

• Trump's actions signify a shift away from international law.

• The imposition of tariffs could lead to increased inflation in the US.

• Media trust is at an all-time low, affecting public perception.

• The withdrawal from the Paris Agreement has significant global implications.

• Economic unpredictability is a major concern for New Zealand.

• Journalism faces a crisis of credibility and relevance.

• Social media's role in shaping political narratives is critical.

• The need for in-depth journalism is more pressing than ever.

• New Zealand must navigate complex trade relationships carefully.

• The political landscape is changing rapidly, requiring adaptive strategies.

Thank you
