The Incredible Shrinking Trump: The Coffee Klatch | August 31, 2024
About this episode
Friends,
Today, Heather and I take a deep dive into the week’s remarkable political news, as Kamala Harris and Tim Walz continue to rise in the polls, and Trump evidently has no idea what he should do. He’s gone on rants about windmills, bacon, trans boxers, Al Capone, and crowd size, and reposted crude racial and sexual slurs about Kamala Harris.
We review the Harris-Walz bus tour in rural America and Trump’s botched publicity stunt at the Arlington National Cemetery, as well as the revealing battle over turning off the mics during the upcoming presidential debate (Harris doesn’t want Trump’s mic turned off when she speaks — which tells you all you need to know).
Please join us (and take our poll).
