“America Is Screwed Up From Top to Bottom” — The Trump Warning David Brooks Makes | APT

What happens when a nation loses trust in its institutions, its leaders and even in one another? In his third Yale Conversations lecture, David Brooks examines the cultural forces behind America’s growing distrust, populism and resentment — and explains why the crisis goes far deeper than politics. Brooks discusses Donald Trump, the Democrats’ struggle to win back voters, the rise of resentment and the possibility of a new cultural shift built around humanism, dignity, admiration and hope. He argues that America’s recovery will require more than political change — it will require rebuilding the culture itself. The lecture was delivered at Yale University on April 7, 2026, followed by a Q&A. #DavidBrooks #DonaldTrump #America #USPolitics #AmericanPolitics #YaleUniversity #YaleConversations #PoliticalCrisis Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @apt_news
