Summary

The US election is hanging in the balance with either candidate looking just as likely to win in November. Brian Klaas, author of Fluke: Chance, Chaos, and Why Everything We Do Matters and professor of global politics at University College London, says it’s “absurd” that the race is as close as it is and joins the panel to explain how catastrophic a Trump 2.0 Presidency could be. And in the second half, we went to see the new biopic ‘The Apprentice’ which Trump called a “politically disgusting hatchet job”. How was it, and has it damaged the former President’s campaign or fired him up?
