“Profiles in Cowardice” Author on How Trump Got Powerful Leaders to Back Down

Season 2026 Episode 8252 | 17m 48s

Jacob Weisberg's new book "Profiles in Cowardice" delivers a twist on JFK's famous "Profiles in Courage." Through portraits of eight public figures, ranging from Jeff Bezos to George W. Bush, the book looks at why powerful people who once resisted President Trump have stayed silent during his second term. Jacob Weisberg discusses what he sees as a broad, collective failure to defend democracy.
