The Chris Hedges Report – TRANSCEND Media Service
5 Feb 2026 – With John Mearsheimer
Donald Trump believes that U.S. economic and military might are all he needs to become a benign dictator and achieve unilateral control over USA’s allies — what will the effects of this policy be?
Karl Marx, in his essay “The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte,” said that history repeats itself, “the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.” Donald Trump’s actions in the first year of his second term have spelled out to many that tragedies of history are beginning to repeat themselves, this time certainly as farces.
John Mearsheimer, the renowned scholar, author and R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to contextualize what Trump’s political missions mean through the lens of history.
