The Aftermath of Trump's Third Assassination Attempt
4/27/202630 min
Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov examine the incident that took place this weekend at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where an armed suspect was apprehended after breaching a security perimeter. The incident, described by authorities as a potential assassination attempt, has renewed questions about the safety of high-profile political figures and the persistence of political violence in the United States. They discuss what is known about the suspect, how the breach occurred, and what the continued threats against Trump tell us about the state of the country. Is “violent rhetoric” to blame — or are we seeing a country roused to anger by cable news and social media? Would Trump’s ballroom have made those in the administration safer? And, how do the threats that Trump has faced compare to what past presidents have gone through? Plus, Scott and Jessica check in on the latest developments in the Middle East, where Iran has floated a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a prolonged ceasefire. With global energy markets already under strain, Scott and Jess consider what the offer signals about Iran’s position — and whether a resolution is any closer.
