Trump’s 250th Anniversary Plan? Harambe & UFC! w/ Wajahat Ali

About this episode

Francesca Fiorentini and guest Wajahat Ali discuss Trump's unconventional strategies to engage young voters, including a UFC fight and Harambe memes.

Recent polling has shown that Trump and his MAGA regime have been starting to lose men under 30. But don’t worry! They have a plan to win them back. Wajahat Ali of The Left Hook joined Francesca to talk about Trump is hosting a UFC fight on the White House lawn. Surely that will get the boys on board…and if that’s not enough, what if we brought back Harambe memes? That’s right, the White House official Twitter account put out a “memorial” post commemorating the 10 year anniversary of the gorilla’s demise. We talk about why our government is basically just 4chan from 2016. *** *Have you ever wanted to join the Frantifa?
