Episode 18: Christwashing Trump

Details, credits, errata: Today, with our special guest Tara Isabella Burton, we finally ask the question: How did we get Trump? We watched the Liberty University-produced drama The Trump Prophecy to answer this question. It was… an experience.Tara is an all-around genius: read her great piece on this film here and buy all her books for yourself and then again as Christmas presents here.Our episode art for the week is twitterer recordsANDradio’s amazing photoshop of Donald Trump’s mouth onto his eyesockets. It is my favorite in the long history of images mocking the president, whom I loathe. Follow Danny on Twitter.Our theme song is Louis Armstrong and His Hot 5’s Muskrat Ramble, made freely available by the Boston Public Library and audio engineering shop George Blood, LP through the Internet Archive.
