This week, A’ndre is joined by former National Security Advisor Ambassador John Bolton for a wide-ranging conversation on the return of Donald Trump to the White House — and how the second term is stacking up against the first.

Drawing from his front-row experience during Trump’s first administration, Bolton reflects on the decision-making process he witnessed firsthand: the role of personality, the unpredictability, and the often transactional approach to global affairs. We dig into what’s changed, what hasn’t, and what it all means for U.S. national security.

Topics include:

• How Trump’s foreign policy in term two compares to term one
• Who Trump listens to and who he does not, and how that shapes U.S. policy
• The recent NSC firings and what it may signal about who has influence
• Trump’s approach to China, NATO, and the war in Ukraine
• What to make of Trump’s renewed talk of acquiring Greenland — and why Amb. Bolton believes there are real security interests behind the idea
• How Bolton views Trump’s latest tariff decisions through the lens of his leadership style

Amb. Bolton brings his signature candor and deep institutional knowledge to the table as we explore whether the second Trump term is more strategic — or a continuation of its most unpredictable tendencies.
