About this episode

The episode explores Donald Trump's upbringing, his controversial actions, and the context behind his political career.

We have some deep dive episodes on the the worst things Trump has ever done coming out soon, but before we share them with you we’re putting this previous (but still relevant) episode back into your feed for more context and clues into why Trump is (unfortunately) the way he is. Before Trump was elected as President of the United States, Luce and Rubes discussed Trump’s affluent upbringing, his racist past (and present), how he treats women, his business ventures, his dodgy dealings, his political career and heaps more.  In next week’s episode, Luce and Abby bring you: The Worst Things Trump Has Done to Democracy and Immigrants.
