"Let the double haters hate"

That Trippi Show ·

2026/04/10

Joe's been talking about it since at least last November - what critical cohort that decided 2016, 2024, and the 2022 midterms is very, very mad at Trump? And they're a growing percentage of the electorate, too. Plus - why did Melania drop a surprise Epstein press conference on Thursday? Is Iran going that poorly? (Yes!) And can Dems make any gains on the ridiculous trading corruption that's happening on prediction markets right now? Joe explains why we have to keep our eye on the prize.Learn more

Bye, bye, Bondi!

That Trippi Show ·

2026/04/03

Pam Bondi's out - why Joe thinks this might reopen the Epstein Pandora's Box Trump is so desperately trying to hide. (Todd Blanche, come on down!) More evidence saying the Iran quagmire isn't going away for Trump - and Joe points out the underreported "war tax" Americans are already paying. Trump saying the quiet part out loud (cutting health care to pay for the war) won't help either. Will winning back Trump voters matter for 2026? And what about AI fears?

2026/02/17

When politics feels broken, polarized, and paralyzed, what’s the real solution?In this episode of That Trippi Show, Joe Trippi sits down with Nicholas Gruen to discuss an idea that could fundamentally reshape American democracy: citizens’ assemblies chosen by democratic sortition — randomly selected Americans serving in a permanent civic body, similar to a jury. Could a “Citizen’s House” reduce polarization, weaken special interests, and restore trust in government? From the Michigan Independent

2026/02/13

Why Pam Bondi's crashout is indicative of much deeper rot in the Trump White House - and why yelling about the Dow on the Hill isn't changing anything for Trump. He's mentioned in the Epstein files over... checks notes... a MILLION times! And how far is Trump willing to go to steal the election? And are we ready to fight back?

2026/01/23

No, we're not suggesting that after Greenland (Iceland?), the moon is next. But maybe. No - it's because Trump's week from hell is quickly turning into a year from hell. He might be doing everything he wants, but the American people HATE it. Hate hate hate it. Loathe it entirely. His coalition from 2024 is gone. It's worse for him than 2020. Why?

Trump is weaving right into an oncoming train
