Summary

It's over the pond we go to see what cheesy wotsit toddler, Trump has been up to... which is being found guilty on 34 counts. The ladies discuss those who leapt to his defence and the common thread that runs through them before finishing with a Trump sandwich: white bread, full of baloney, Russian dressing and a small pickle.

And while Boris Johnson is still firmly attached to Trump’s bottom, Nigel Farage has chosen to unweld himself and bin off his plans to campaign for Trump in the US - lucky for the US, not so lucky for us. Jemma and Marina discuss what his running means for the election and enjoy some snippets of Farage not doing so well in the face of scrutiny.

There's talk of Labour highs and lows, Tories posing as Labour and charm lessons from Kemi Badenoch - who manages to appear rude, arrogant and affronted, all at once, in her latest media rounds.

Then it's on to some underrated clips and tweets, including a gem from writer, Michael Rosen, followed by a Trump-flavoured pud from Politics Joe.

0:00.0	I'm here with Nigel Farage, Britain's biggest rank state.
0:07.1	Hello and welcome to The Troll, where we scroll through social media so you don't have to.
0:12.0	I'm Marina Perkis. And I'm Gemma Forte. And as ever, there is plenty to talk about. And if you're
0:18.7	watching on YouTube, you'll see that I'm not in my normal position.
0:22.3	I've got a big orange headboard behind me because I'm actually in a hotel room, but not for
0:26.1	sort of sleazy purposes. I'm away on a family celebration. So it does mean that I didn't get
0:32.4	to see, poor me, the live debate between Starmoot and Sunak last night. What did I miss, Marina?
0:41.7	There was a lot. There was a lot to look at, a lot to talk about. I was doing some live tweeting throughout, but I tell you what, it wasn't that compelling. It was about as,
0:45.5	I was compelling as Sheffield v. Burnley.
0:48.8	Oh, God. Oh, God.
0:50.7	Yeah, but because we've got, sorry, if you're a Sheffield or Burley fan, I wasn't loving it.
0:55.5	I felt sort of...
0:56.3	It was quite galling.
0:57.3	I was sort of live tweeting and messaging my neighbour at the same time.
1:01.1	We were just like, gosh, is this...
1:03.2	Is this where we are?
1:04.1	But look, there's so much to talk about, I think.
1:07.0	There's loads of good takes.
1:08.6	Yeah.
1:09.0	And of course, there's fallout, the ongoing fallout.
1:11.8	So we will cover that in the next episode.
1:14.8	But today, let's start across the pond, because giant orange, cheesy, what's it, toddler, Donald Trump has had his day in court.
