Trump gets a Stormy ‘spanking’ — and how QAnon continues to warp minds in 2024

A new series counting down to the US Presidential Election – and explaining the nightmare to British audience. This time: How is Trump doing in court? We speak about his alleged but literal spanking, as described by Stormy Daniels. And we ask – what will voters think of it all? Plus, QAnon – how are conspiracy wingnuts shaping the election? Then we dig into the latest polling, look at Marjorie Taylor Greene’s latest failure and much more.  Nikki McCann Ramírez, of Rolling Stone, joins Jacob Jarvis and Chris Jones to discuss the latest issues in US politics – and Mike Rothschild, author of Jewish Space Lasers and The Storm is Upon Us, dials in to discuss conspiracy theories – and how they might change how voters think.  Follow us on social media:  Twitter Instagram  TikTok Written and presented by Chris Jones, Jacob Jarvis and Nikki McCann Ramírez.
