## Resource

Mary breaks down another bizarre week as Don Jr.’s wedding plans collide with Donald’s schedule, Senator John Kennedy accidentally describes the current regime while defending authoritarian crackdowns abroad, and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins claims soaring beef prices are proof that RFK Jr.’s MAHA movement is working. Mary also reacts to Donald’s over the top TrumpRx rollout, his promise to make the “reflecting lake” his proposed $1 billion golden ballroom “waterproof,” and the latest jaw dropping comments from one of Donald’s congressional enablers. It’s Trump Trolls Trump Week 70 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
