Trump's Insurrection: Stop the Steal (Ep 2)

So all he’s left with is January 6th and the hope he can pressure Congress into not certifying the results. Listen to Katty and Anthony discuss Trump’s...

Trump's Insurrection: The Collapse of His Presidency (Ep 1)

As he struggled to deal first with the Covid-19 pandemic and then the BLM protests, Donald Trump’s approval ratings collapsed. Going into election night it seemed certain that Joe Biden would win. Whilst he did so, things were far closer than expected and when Donald Tru...
