The Narrative Ep. 36: The Trump Tightrope

Burning Bright sits down with Lt. General Steve Kwast for a wide-ranging and thought-provoking conversation on Trump’s second term, the info war, and the challenges of leading in turbulent times. From the tightrope of communicating grand plans while facing enemy resistance, to the cultural battles of sovereignty, institutions, and self-determination, Kwast unpacks how strategy, patience, and resilience shape this era. The discussion moves through the administrative state, public-private partnerships, and the emerging space race, highlighting how innovation and national strength intertwine with global cooperation and competition. With insights on nuclear energy, deterrence, and the moral foundations needed to face the digital age, this episode blends geopolitics, philosophy, and leadership into an inspiring roadmap for America’s future.

On The Narrative, we leave readings of the Actual to the side and focus exclusively on the effect of Stories from the past, present and future on the Collective American Mind.

Every week, Burning Bright will be joined by a different Info Warrior as they use a combination of cognitive cyphers, game theory and pattern recognition to more effectively navigate the Info War without succumbing to it.

After all, the War is a Story, and the Story is a War.
