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

And just to continue kind of like the emotional connection, I think it all really, so much of that was going to be what happens to the economy and how are people going to think about the economy overall. voice-verified

I mean, I would argue one of the main reasons that Trump was reelected is because they had a feeling the emotional connection to the economy was so much better during the first administration before COVID, obviously. voice-verified

I think today Trump is really struggling with that. voice-verified

I think his legacy is going to be really damaged unless he can get the economy turned around. voice-verified

The NPR Politics Podcast · As casualties rise, do the politics of the Iran war change? · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

Yeah, I mean, this is one of the most solemn events for a president of the United States, you know, honoring those who were killed in action. voice-verified

President was there for the dignified transfer of four service members who were killed overseas by Iranian strikes. voice-verified

It was a very voice-verified

a quiet event. voice-verified

And as we know, you know, the president is actually now flying back with one of the families of one of the service members killed. voice-verified

Yeah, I mean, the status is not very good. voice-verified

I mean, Secretary of State Marco Rubio actually told reporters today that the U.S. voice-verified

remained willing to negotiate with Iran, but that the leaders of Iran were not serious about negotiations. voice-verified

Trump made that clear as well this week, adding that he's not interested in talking until they are serious. voice-verified

And I think voice-verified

The escalation in the rhetoric, the escalation in the strikes, and now talking about strikes on bridges and power plants, I think that just reflects the frustration that the president has about how well these talks are going. voice-verified

It seems when I talk to strategists and I talk to experts who follow Iran, they tell me this is kind of like an M.O. voice-verified

for Iran, that they're going to drag this out as they can. voice-verified

And the president is clearly trying to will this to an end, will this to a point where they can get back to a potential ceasefire. voice-verified

But it just doesn't seem like Iran is willing to do what the president wants them to do. voice-verified

We've absolutely been having this conversation for months. voice-verified
