Donald Trump built his brand on being the “strongman” who would restore law and order — but strongmen always need enemies to stay strong. In this episode, we look at how Trump’s constant wars — against immigrants, scientists, journalists, universities, our international trade partners, and “the radical left” — create the very chaos he claims to be fighting.

Drawing parallels with Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, we explore how authoritarian leaders promise peace through strength but deliver conflict. From the dismantling of USAID and the CDC to culture wars over schools and DEI, Trump’s agenda depends on perpetual outrage.

The irony? A politics built on fear and division doesn’t end unrest — it feeds it. The more Trump fights “the enemies of America,” the more enemies America seems to have. In the end, the man promising peace may be the single greatest recruiter for the people he calls radicals.
