The Master Investor Podcast with Wilfred Frost8 Okt 2025

BONUS: Sir Niall Ferguson on Trump vs Nixon

Renowned historian Sir Niall Ferguson discusses the comparisons between two of America’s most controversial leaders - Richard Nixon and Donald Trump - with the help of Wilf's Dad's legendary Frost–Nixon interviews. They cover the boundaries of executive power, use of tariffs and other shock economic strategies, and the high-wire act of geopolitical brinkmanship with China and Russia. Ferguson reveals Nixon and Trump’s surprising parallels and unlikely connections, from early political prophecies to tariffs, anti-globalist instincts, and the shadow of constitutional crisis. Essential listening for anyone obsessed with the past and future of the American presidency, global power shifts, and what happens when history repeats itself—live on the world stage.
