From the transcript
There are moments all across history where the entire world seems to revolve around one man. Right now, at the quarter mark of the 21st century, that man is named Donald Trump. At home in the United States, he's surged to claim the White House on two separate occasions and surged stronger in his second victory than in the first.
Across the globe, he's inspired a range of world leaders to walk in his footsteps, Bolsonaro, Malay, Johnson, McCayley, Duerte, and many more. He stands at the head of the global populist movement, and right now, as we write this, he has reached the very height of his powers. All that's left now is to build a legacy.
When Donald Trump envisions that legacy, we all but guarantee that a global turn towards centrism ain't a part of the plan. It's that very idea, ruled by the moderates, all the establishment, or the deep state that's been public enemy number one for Trump and his broader movements over the last decade.
