Trump’s confrontation of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa was about trying to show who’s in charge. On this episode of After America, Dr Emma Shortis and Angus Blackman discuss Trump’s false claims about ‘white genocide’, the administration’s war on Harvard University, Kamala Harris on the Goldie, and whether Anthony Albanese’s talk about “progressive patriotism” will be backed up with real action. This discussion was recorded on Monday 26 May 2025 and things may have changed since recording.
