“A Very Insightful and Constructive Discussion”

Last week, author and former Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson was interviewed by The Trump Report’s Maddie Hale on the rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump has threatened to “blow up” Iran, and the Wall Street Journal reports the President was deliberately left out of military planning for fear he would react impulsively and leak details.

As is her way, Marianne takes the conversation to a deeper level, noting, for instance, that Trump and his actions are symptoms of a much deeper problem in the U.S., one that includes the corporate capture of the political system.

I appreciate this wise and insightful perspective. Others do too, as evidenced by many of the comments on YouTube about her 30-minute interview. Here’s a sampling.


• Finally, someone has eloquently articulated the problem with the two-party system in the U.S. that is paid for by a handful of billionaires.

• Listening to Marianne Williamson gives some hope for the future of the U.S.

• This is one switched-on lady. Bravo!

• Her last point is the most poignant. The concentration of wealth has led to polarization and people falling prey to false promises and their own darkness.

• This was a really great conversation. Loved the way she talks, just real talk with a healthy amount of disgust for the situations going on.

• Such a beautiful and sane conversation. Thank you.

• Thank you for hosting Ms Williamson. She offers such a rare and necessary blend of thoughtfulness, compassion and intelligence; it's a pleasure listening to her. Please ask her back.

• The lady nailed it.

• Damn, I’d vote for her
