I’m pleased to announce that I’m scheduled to be going back onto Thom Hartmann’s show on RT America to talk about the turmoil in the Trump White House and how it’s been affecting critical policy issues – notably, the just-concluded summit with Japan’s prime minister. In fact, the segment will draw on my post this morning on the same subject.

The interview will start at 7:15 PM EST. If you don’t receive RT on your TV system, you can watch on line live here. As always, I’ll post a link to the streaming video as soon as one is available.

I’m pleased to announce that the video is now on-line of my appearance last night on Thom Hartmann’s TV show on RT America. Click here for a great discussion of President-elect Trump’s China trade policy. The segment starts at the top of the program.

Also, I’ve been quoted in this new Lifezette.com article on why there may be less to the new U.S. economic growth figures than meets the eye.

And on December 20, this American Prospect post by a prominent liberal writer tried (unsuccessfully in my view) why folks on the Left should be exceedingly wary about Mr. Trump’s trade policy positions. As you can see, a previous version was published on HuffingtonPost.com.

I’m pleased to announce that the video of my interview last night on RT America’s The Big Picture is on-line.  Click on this link for a great discussion between me and host Thom Hartmann on why Trump-style changes are urgently needed in U.S. trade policy.

The interview has (so far) capped an unusually busy period of media appearances.

Today, I was quoted in a nationally syndicated McClatchy News Service article on the possibility that former steel company executive Dan DiMicco will be named as Mr. Trump’s new chief trade negotiator.  (Spoiler alert:  I’m a big fan of Dan’s.)

Yesterday, this Lifezette.com post featured my views on whether or not Congress’ Republican leaders can derail the President-elect’s apparent trade overhaul agenda.

The day before, Newsweek quoted me in an article on Mr. Trump’s likely relations with Big Business’ Offshoring Lobby – and what’s left of the Republican establishment in Washington.

Also on the 14th, another Lifezette report presented my thoughts on another contender for the chief trade negotiator position.  (Spoiler alert:  I’m not a fan.)

On December 5, Newsweek quoted me on the odds of Mr. Trump igniting a trade war with China.

And on December 4, a New York Times piece on the implications of the President-elect’s controversial move to prevent the offshoring of Carrier air conditioning jobs to Mexico.
