Looking Backward On The Presidency Of Donald Trump | On the Media | WNYC Studios

www.wnycstudios.org

Looking back on the impossible election and catastrophic reign of Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States. Adapted from the article by Jon Lovett for The Atlantic.

In the summer of 2015, NPR and The Atlantic partnered up to make a bit of radio drama about the *craaazy * notion of Donald Trump winning the presidency.

This one's got it all - from the anchor talking about Deez Nutz, all the way to a clip show of Democrats and Republicans reaching across the aisle to protect America from the scourge of Trump. As usual, NPR reporters disappear up their own assholes as they imagine hypothetical Americans finally realizing the importance of media literacy.
