164. How Micheál Martin should deal with Donald Trump
In this week's episode of "Let Me Explain," host Sean Defoe tackles the pressing question: How do you approach a problem like Donald Trump? With Taoiseach Micheál Martin set to meet the US President at the White House, the stakes have never been higher.
Join us as Sean delves into the press conferences of world leaders—Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and Volodymyr Zelensky—to dissect their strategies when facing Trump. From Macron’s diplomatic flattery to Starmer’s subtle nudges, we analyze what worked and what didn't. But when it comes to Zelensky, his direct confrontations with Trump flipped the script of diplomatic decorum, leading to a tense exchange.
As Micheál Martin prepares for his own high-stakes meeting, we offer insights on striking the right balance. Is it all about bending the knee? Tune in for a comprehensive breakdown of how to navigate this complex political dynamic and hear what Martin might need to keep in his back pocket when the cameras start rolling. Don't miss out on Sean's first-hand reports from the upcoming trip to the US, with all the latest updates straight from the Oval Office!
