The Roundabout: President Trump’s second first year

Listen
Share:

This week, our Roundabout panel discusses President Donald Trump’s second first year.

Have we entered “The golden age of America” as President Trump said during his inauguration speech — or something else entirely? Immigration policy. The economy. Military action in foreign lands. We break it all down. Plus, we want to hear from you. Call 615-760-2000 during the live show or pop into chat on our YouTube stream to weigh in with your question or comment.

Guests:

Mike Floss, Co-founder, Southern Movement Committee
Ian Shapiro, PhD, Political Science, Tennessee State University
Chris Walker, Founding partner, The Poplar Group
