Trump’s Wild Week: Oval Office Rants & Venezuela Escalation

Christmas is coming, and so is the unhinged consumerism. Jemma and Marina kick off with Quality Street meltdowns, £9 hot chocolates and the most pointless gifts known to humankind, before swan-diving into the real seasonal horror: politics.Meanwhile, across the pond, Trump’s week has been a carnival of chaos. From Oval Office rants and sexist jabs at reporters, to killing-without-trial allegations involving his newly promoted “War Secretary” Pete Hegseth, and a wildly hypocritical pardon, your jaws will be left on the floor. Then it’s Venezuela, airspace brinkmanship, and a potential war brewing while MAGA pretends everything’s fine.There are billionaire bros at the Ukraine-Russia peace table, a leaked “peace plan” which looks like a kleptocrat’s wish list.Crazy geo politics, Christmas rage, capitalism on steroids, Vogue’s worst recipe crime and an Underrated of the Week that’ll make you cry-laugh.Another wild week. Another industrial-sized trawl.Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you’ve even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you’ll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there’s a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it’s your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.
