Is Trump THE Sports President? 10.10.2026 1h 47minTrump may have made sports a big part of his business dealings, social media agitations, and domestic and foreign politics–especially in his second term–but how does he stack up to other world leaders who have done the same? We compare Trump to former UK Prime Minister John Major, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the late North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Il. Points of discussion include sports as a vehicle for culture wars and financial corruption, the NCAA, Putin's lifelong sports journey, and some dubious golf scores.Subscribe to the Thinking About Sports newsletter: https://buttondown.com/thinkingaboutsportsFollow the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingaboutsports?psln=MWc1OWZqdDl0ZW9jNw%3D%3DFind the sources for this episode here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KfpIjGmd_J-M9YnkhU3r3FLQpxzBqW3gNGdF5qb8qQ4/edit?usp=sharing All of our music is composed by Oliviana Marie, and our cover art is adapted from the 1921 book Skating With Bror Meyer.
