The Freedom Convoy is Complicated, Tales from Trump’s Toilet & Is Trumpism Waning?

In this episode, Alex starts with the ridiculous yet concerning revelations about Trump’s eating and flushing of important documents down the toilet. This comes after the National Archives went to Mar-a-Lago to get 15 boxes of government documents. Then Alex discusses the Freedom Convoy in Canada that some think is about vaccines, others think is about freedom, and others think is about extremism and destabilizing the state. Alex finds that this is a complicated issue and the US media has been genuinely covering them. He mentions that COVID has led to worse inequality and many people that couldn’t stay home are angry and lost. He thinks that we need to address the root of why these protests are happening instead of condemning them. Finally, Trump is down in the GOP and Ron DeSantis is closing in on him for 2024 polling. Some are optimistic that the GOP is moving on from Trump, Alex thinks that it is worse. The party doesn’t need Trump, but they still have Trumpism.
