Скачать или смотреть How Trump’s America Is Changing Pop Culture

A year into the second Trump administration, popular culture continues morphing to match the moment. From Sydney Sweeney’s jeans ad and GQ interview to fan reactions following Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” and the Trump-themed NBA YoungBoy tour, stars and their audiences are working out where the lines are now.

The Popcast hosts Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli were joined by their colleague Ross Douthat, an opinion columnist and the host of the video podcast “Interesting Times,” to discuss how culture and politics collided in 2025.
