The Trump Scorecard

It's a vacation-shortened episode of The Trump Scorecard, and for once I'm the one going on vacation, not the president. But let's take a quick dive into a few big issues: ethical violations, despotism, and the Mystery of the Missing Aircraft Carrier.

It's OK to be afraid when a giant orange toddler is in charge of your nuclear arsenal, especially when he seems more focused on cake than on diplomacy. We answer the age-old question, which is more disgusting: Jeff Sessions or Mar-a-Lago?

Donald Trump launched an attack on an air base in Syria, and we hear from Win Without War's Stephen Miles on the horror that could be coming our way. We're still stuck in Russia, Kushner and Bannon have a slap fight, and we go a little nuts with the quick hits.

Mike Pence dines alone, Devin Nunes is caught in a lie, Rex Tillerson says "nah we're good" on human rights violations, and I do my first ever listener call-in segments. And did you know Donald Trump never makes mistakes?

The news just kept coming in Trump's ninth week. Russia! Health care! And because we're talking about Donald Trump: inappropriate sexual comments! I talk to Ian Millhiser of Think Progress about Trump's SCOTUS nominee Neil Gorsuch. (He's bad.)

Was this the worst week yet for the Trump presidency? Health care is off the rails. His Muslim ban gets blocked. His budget is evil. And he gets into a fight with Snoop Dogg. I talk to Summer Brennan about how Trump wants cripple the United Nations.

In week seven of the Donald Trump presidency, the Republicans finally introduced their health care bill, and it's as bad as you'd expect. I get all the gory details from Obama administration health care expert Andy Slavitt. Also, deranged Trump tweetstorms! Separating mothers and children! Abortion! Ben Carson! And much more...

Trump's sixth week as president started and ended the same way: mired in scandal about his campaign's Russia connections. I speak to Rep. Dwight Evans about why Jeff Sessions need to resign, and tell you about the worst thing Donald Trump has ever done.

We've passed the one-month mark under Donald Trump, and somehow we've survived. This week I take a look at his terrifying relationship with Alex Jones. We go on a magic budget roller coaster and meet Trump's two black friends. I also talk with Sarah McBride of the Human Rights Campaign about Trump's attacks on transgender children.

In the fourth episode of The Trump Scorecard, Trump faces his first big resignation and his first Cabinet nominee withdrawal and holds the craziest press conference of all time. I talk to Gabe Ortíz of America’s Voice about the rash of ICE raids and deportations.

In the third episode of The Trump Scorecard, the White House and President Trump are in full meltdown mode, and I talk to Hunter Blair of the Economic Policy Institute about how Trump is trying to bring back the economic disaster of 2008.

In Donald Trump’s second week as president, he issued an executive order targeting Muslim immigrants and banning many of them from entering the United States. I speak to Iraqi refugee Taif Jany about the ban. Trump also nearly started three wars and said some extraordinarily stupid things.

The inaugural episode of The Trump Scorecard, a weekly podcast documenting the very worst the Donald Trump presidency has to offer.
