The NPR Politics Podcast · How Trump's focus on his legacy drives his decisions · 10 Aug 2026 podcast

I mean, our colleague Hadil Shalchi spoke about this earlier today, about how, you know, the Iranians appear to be taking advantage of those political pressures by trying to drag this out. voice-verified

I was just looking, reading up on an Iranian parliamentary advisor who was saying that there is no way that Iran will agree to any deal with voice-verified

with Trump this term, knowing that they can just wait him out. voice-verified

Yeah, President Trump has talked about Hoover quite a bit. voice-verified

He's, you know, he mentioned him even before he took office when there were some economic challenges that Biden was having. voice-verified

And Trump actually at that time said that he hoped if there was a recession that it happened then so that it wouldn't be under his watch if he was reelected because he didn't want to be associated with Hoover. voice-verified

I mean, this goes further. voice-verified

This is definitely something that Trump has been afraid of for so long. voice-verified

I mean, Hoover, who is just so well known of being kind of the epitome of the challenges of the economy. voice-verified

And this is something that Trump has, you know, kind of talked about quite a bit because he's clearly thinking about his legacy. voice-verified

He's thinking about what makes a good president, but also about what's going to be written about in the history books. voice-verified

You know, President Trump and others are so scared of any type of association with Hoover. voice-verified

Like you said, Miles, because of his association with the Great Depression. voice-verified

It was a time when the stock market crashed and just a few months after Hoover had taken office. voice-verified

And he was widely considered of not doing enough to take action. voice-verified

He basically kind of stuck to his Republican principles that the government shouldn't meddle in the economy. voice-verified

And that decision is something that many political observers see as one of the worst political mistakes of the 20th century. voice-verified

Yeah, I mean, look, I mean, I think the risks of a recession are real and they certainly are higher today than they were before. voice-verified

prior to the war and they get higher the longer that inflation persists. voice-verified

When I talk to economists, they note that inflation has persisted for five years. voice-verified
