00:00And it's really interesting because we're talking about what's happening abroad when it comes to Donald Trump.

00:07He's obviously involved in this negotiation to try and end the war between Russia and Ukraine.

00:14But domestically, things are happening in the U.S. too.

00:17And Robert, the Democrats have just released new images from Jeffrey Epstein files

00:22that do include pictures of President Donald Trump and Bill Clinton and Steve Bannon and many others.

00:30How damaging could this be for the U.S. president?

00:33Because right now we see him trying to end these wars abroad.

00:37But at home, there's more trouble bubbling when it comes to these Epstein files.

00:42Yeah, I think the real struggle for the U.S. in terms of its domestic political politics

00:47and from the perspective of the president is that his hard coalition,

00:54this mega coalition so-called, is beginning to fall apart.

00:57Now, I don't want to overstate that.

00:58But it's clearly fraying right now.

01:02And I think that the images that you've just described are going to make it more difficult

01:08for him to keep certain elements of his own coalition on side.

01:12At the same time, you see some within his own party who are clearly uncomfortable with the stance

01:17that he's taking vis-a-vis Ukraine.

01:19The U.S. domestic political situation is becoming much more complicated

01:25and it's much more difficult for the president to get his own way in all instances,

01:30even within his own party.
