President Trump will pose challenges to governments all over the world, and news today that Elon Musk – the billionaire owner of social media site X – joined in the first call between Donald Trump and President Zelenskyy of Ukraine.

While the Democrats begin the soul searching about why they lost, the Trump team is busy preparing for power.

We were joined by Republican strategist Kristin Davison.

We were joined by Peter Loge, who was a senior advisor in the Obama administration, and is now a professor at George Washington University.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz maintained his usual unruffled exterior last night as he delivered a bitter explanation as to why he had fired Finance Minister Christian Lindner.

Donald Trump’s victory made the Dollar, Wall Street and the crypto markets – along with his crypto-bro backers – yelp with joy, sending Bitcoin to a record high.

We’re joined by Fred Fleitz, who has worked for the CIA and the Department of Defence, and who worked for the National Security Council during the first Trump administration. He is now at the America First Policy Institute.
