For the last 10 years, everything in American politics has basically

revolved around one man. And as a political journalist, who came of age during

β€œDonald Trump's rise in 2016, I've had a front row seat.”

Ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for President of the United States.

It's going to be only America first. America

comes first thousands of supporters of President Trump stormed the U.S. capital rejecting at this hour, the 47 president of the United States. Donald Trump will be elected to return to the White House.

β€œBut is it possible to talk about politics without talking about Donald Trump?”

That's the question I'm going to ask in our new show from box. The idea of like a post-Trump are not exactly Trump focused show can exist because he's not really driving any agenda items. It's really does feel like so reactive. On this show, we'll still be covering the news. But we'll be doing it from the bottom up.

β€œNot the top down. You know, I think this around thing is also going to cause a big split”

in the GOP. So far, it doesn't among like people who say their mug of voters are still

with Trump. But like, for the first time, you see, on a major issue, open opposition

from the start of this war. Even though we're talking about the Iran War and rising prices, we're going to have some fun along the way. Just because everything around us feels super

serious, doesn't mean we always have to be. I'm a Stan Herndon and welcome to America, actually.
