Trump Has Us on the Brink of a Social Civil War
There\u2019s two things that Rick Wilson loves the most in this world and that\u2019s food and politics. On this episode of The New Abnormal, Taste the Nation host Padma Lakshmi joins Rick and co-host Molly Jong-Fast to chat about her experiences foraging onions in the desert, hanging out with Thai women in Las Vegas and gaining 20 pounds, on purpose. Oh, and how immigrants and Native Americans have way more MAGA clout than Trump ever will. \u201cIt should be mandatory that [politicians] go and embed themselves for a week,\u201d she says. Then, MSNBC\u2019s Joy Reid joined to discuss her history-making career move, the impending \u201csocial civil war\u201d and Trump\u2019s ability to praise a drug that could kill people. (\u201cIt's like a cult leader in a way,\u201d she says.) She and Rick also walk Molly through a typical day in Florida (most notably the bath salt, face-eating zombie incident\u2014not to be confused with the also-mentioned \u201cZombie bin Laden.\u201d) Plus! The duo opine about Trump\u2019s failing ad strategy and the morons pushing our country into an economic crisis tailspin.
