Ep079 - Trump's disdain for the law, our allies, and Americans

Only 3 weeks in and I'm pretty sure Trump has crossed the rubicon into DGAF territory. I lay out why it's already very clear Trump does not care one bit about the law or the Constitution, the American working class, or our allies. He cares about one person and one person only: himself. I go over his Department of Justice's dismissal of the bribery case against NY mayor Eric Adams, his insane insistence that Ukraine must be punished for the war they started (spoiler alert: they didn't start the war, Russia did), and how nothing going on at DOGE is going to make the economy better for working class Americans.
