In this episode, Mary Trump and the Nerd Avengers explore the ongoing issues with media corporations bowing to Trump’s demands, the dangerous implications of his lawsuits against critics, and the growing shift towards autocracy in America. They dive into the devastating effects of privatizing key services like the U.S. Postal Service, as well as the troubling stance on climate change and disaster management under Trump's influence. The conversation also touches on how Democrats have failed to effectively push back against the GOP’s extreme agenda, with a focus on the disastrous outcomes of their lack of leadership.
