Summary

Let’s be honest, at this point, it’s starting to feel like the Trump administration is actively trying to kill us. He wants to resume nuclear testing, SNAP benefits are running out, and healthcare is about to become unaffordable for millions of Americans. The future’s looking less “great again” and more post-apocalyptic chic. So what’s the plan here? Is Trump just incompetent, or is this all part of the cruelty? Don breaks it all down, the policies, the fallout, and the grim reality of what happens when power meets indifference. America is not okay. This episode is sponsored by Henson Shaving.
