Is this pop star the left's answer to Donald Trump?

8/5/2025
Tim Myers is challenging much more established candidates in the race to be the next lieutenant governor of California - the number two role in a state now considered the fourth biggest economy in the world. He's also one of the founders of the pop band OneRepublic - who catapulted to fame in the late 2000s. Myers went from a janitor cleaning toilets to music fame and success at breakneck speed. He tells Martha Kelner why he wants his next career step to be the second highest political office in one of the most important states in the US - and how he can succeed where “career politicians” have failed. If you've got a question you'd like the Trump100 team to answer, you can email it to trump100@sky.uk. You can also watch all episodes - including the interview with Tim - on our YouTube channel.

What would Trump do if China invaded Taiwan?

8/1/2025
If China invaded Taiwan - what would Donald Trump do? Would he come to Taiwan’s support as peacekeeper-in-chief, or let China exact their desire for a reunification? Sky's Asia correspondent Helen-Ann Smith has been in Taiwan. Mark Stone talks to her about how the Taiwanese are feeling as the threat from the mainland rachets up and the island's military mimics responding to an attack from Beijing. We also discuss whether Chinese President Xi Jinping really wants to take the islands in 2027. If you've got a question you'd like the Trump100 team to answer, you can email it to trump100@sky.uk.

Has Trump broken from Netanyahu over Gaza?

7/29/2025
Sir Keir Starmer travelled to Scotland for talks with Donald Trump, with the US president publicly distancing himself from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who has said there is no starvation in Gaza. How significant is this moment, as renewed UK-US aid efforts to the Strip are announced? Plus, Trump cuts down Putin's deadline to stop Russia's war in Ukraine. And Martha speaks to one of the 252 Venezuelans deported by Trump to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. He describes brutal torture and dehumanisation - this despite not ever having committed a crime. If you've got a question you'd like the Trump100 team to answer, you can email it to trump100@sky.uk.

Why has Trump just called his own supporters ‘stupid’?

7/17/2025
Trump scrambles to try and fire the chair of America's central bank - despite being constitutionally barred from sacking him without just cause. All of this feels like distraction and obfuscation from the Epstein files debacle - a political crisis that is eating MAGA alive. Plus: tensions are flaring in the Middle East once again. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is urging de-escalation between Israel and Syria. If you've got a question you'd like the Trump100 team to answer, you can email it to trump100@sky.uk.

Is Trump in a corner over Epstein files?

7/16/2025
For years, Trump and his MAGA base blamed the deep state for the cover-up of unreleased details about disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. They accused the Biden administration of suppressing the extent of Epstein's paedophilia, predatory behaviour and his so-called "client list" - thought to contain names of the rich and famous who conspired with him in a child sex trafficking operation. So far, so conspiracy theory. But now, Trump officials who previously said with certainty that the list exists are claiming it doesn't. The people who stood beside Trump as he decried the deep state aren't happy. They want the files. Where have they gone?

Courting Trump: why Africa wants to win over the White House

7/9/2025
After an evening briefing on the latest attempt to broker an Israel-Hamas ceasefire in Gaza, will the final couple of days of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington bear fruit in the search for peace in the region? Wednesday also saw five leaders from African states visit the White House, where they became the latest to lavish the US president with praise in the hope of gaining his favour, and a path to avoiding Mr Trump's trade tariffs. Is this the new status quo in interacting with Trump's America? And - why is one of Donald Trump's cabinet members under fire for saying that there is no Jeffrey Epstein 'client list'?

Why has Trump U-turned over Ukraine?

In an extraordinary cabinet meeting, the US president criticised his Russian counterpart, and announced that he had approved sending defensive weapons to Ukraine. After weeks of rejecting Volodymyr Zelenskyy's request for defence support – why the sudden change of tact? Is Trump's relationship with Putin fraying? And what's the latest as Trump hosts Benjamin Netanyahu again, a day after the Israeli Prime Minister announced that he had nominated POTUS for the Nobel Peace Prize.
