Will We Ever Get Post-Trump? | DMZ America Podcast | Ep 258

Ted’s latest column drops today — and this DMZ America is built around it. Left-leaning cartoonist Ted Rall and right-leaning Chicago Tribune cartoonist Scott Stantis will take apart Ted’s argument that beating Trump is not the same as erasing him. Will America ever be able to move past Trump? In the column, Ted says politics is war: if the statues, appointees, agencies, place names, and wars stay standing, the last president still wins. He wants the next Democratic nominee to promise a full teardown — White House ballroom and Rose Garden included — plus an exit from the Iran war, a break with Israel’s current war policy, rehiring DOGE casualties, and reversing the ratchet that lets Republican “radical stuff” survive Democratic “moderate stuff.” Scott and Ted will ask: is this revenge theater dressed up as strategy? Can you annul an entire presidency by press release? 2028 voters may hate Trump without wanting Democrats to campaign as a demolition crew. Expect the usual DMZ mix — history, cartoons, and two friends from opposite sides of the aisle going at the question the column actually poses: if you won’t scrap what he built, why should anyone believe you beat him? Live Fridays at 11 am Eastern/10 am Central. Streaming after on YouTube and the usual podcast apps. X: @tedrall and @scottstantis Web: rall.com
