Ann Coulter and Peter Hitchens go head-to-head to debate the highs and lows of Trump’s first year back in the White House, as Freddy Gray moderates. Has Trump 2.0 lived up to its promise – or fallen short of the “Golden Age?” As ever with Trump, there are plenty of questions that demand answers. Is Trump reinvigorating American democracy – or suffocating it? Is he choking capitalism through his Liberation Day tariffs – or preserving free markets in a new, less globalized era? Is he showing other western governments how to lead – or empowering autocracy throughout the world? Is he making the world safer – or more dangerous? Our panel analyze all that and look ahead to the 2026 midterm elections.
