Episode 769: Making Sense of a Trump Victory and What's Next?

This week on Ring of Fire!


Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, shocking most of
the country by tearing down the “Blue Wall” that was supposed to
keep him from returning to power. But unlike 2016, Trump actually
won the popular vote (as of right now) and he officially got his
mandate to return to power. To make things worse, Republicans
also retook control of the Senate, giving Trump a blank check on
judicial appointments.


From Elon Musk to Alina Habba, some of the dumbest and biggest
crackpots in the country are going to wield a lot of power. In
fact, Trump made sure to point that out during his victory speech
on Tuesday evening. This is going to be a rough time for people
with common sense, but this is what the people voted for.


Donald Trump has been far more incoherent and unintelligible
during this year’s campaign, and now that he’s heading back to
The White House, one has to wonder what is going to happen to his
mental faculties. The man was already unstable, but his
increasing cognitive decline is going to present very real
problems that he’s not prepared to face – and those around him
aren’t prepared to handle. This is going to be rough.


All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!
