In this candid exchange, Rick Rosner reflects on Donald Trump’s ongoing legal troubles, alleged corruption, and the normalization of unethical behavior in American politics. He critiques Peter Thiel’s advice to Elon Musk against charitable giving as emblematic of billionaire arrogance and moral emptiness, contrasting it with Bill Gates’s philanthropic pragmatism. Rosner connects these issues to America’s agricultural collapse—where misguided trade policies and blind political loyalty devastate farmers—and to cultural dissonance that fractures the nation’s conscience. His analysis portrays a society seduced by power and spectacle, losing sight of empathy, reason, and accountability.
