Trump's Family is Shockingly Corrupt. Why Doesn't Anyone Care? (w/ John Prideaux) Mona Charen Show [View all]
Dec 8, 2025 The Mona Charen Show
Mona Charen sits down with John Prideaux of The Economist to talk about the brazen corruption of Trump’s second term—foreign governments showering him with luxury gifts, crypto windfalls, tariff favoritism, donor pardons, and a lobbying apparatus built around flattering one man.

Mona Charon is one of my least favorite former republican never-trumpers, but this is a show about the pumkinface's corruption - a topic which could be a major wedge issue for the Democrats if they can get the messaging right. No one likes the government mis-spending their money, right?
The article discussed is at this link https://www.economist.com/leaders/2025/11/20/welcome-to-anything-goes-america
It is unfortunately behind the Economist's paywall, which I also cannot read.
