This is the New Yorker Radio Hour. A co-production of WNYC Studios and the New Yorker. Welcome to the New Yorker Radio Hour. I'm Claire Malone. I'm a staff writer and I cover politics and the media business. David Remnick is off this week.
Mm-hmm. When I talk to longtime journalists about Donald Trump I sometimes hear a kind of astonishment about how American politics changed so much so quickly. You're probably familiar with what I'm talking about.
Even ten years into Trump's emergence in national politics, we are shocked that a president could threaten to annex Canada, for example. Or blame DEI for a plane crash. Trump is not outside the box, to use the old phrase. He blew up the box. And it's instinctive for people who have covered politics for a long time to point out how far afield he's gone.
