HOT TOPICS | Everything Trump Touches Dies - May 21st, 2025

Today on Hot Topics, we’re diving into the latest meltdown inside the MAGA circus tent, and it’s getting harder to tell if this is a government or a group chat gone wrong.

Elon Musk is stepping back (sort of), Kristi Noem just admitted she doesn’t know what habeas corpus is (yes, really), and Marco Rubio had a full-blown tantrum during a hearing with Senator Van Hollen.

Don breaks it all down: the infighting, the ignorance, and what this MAGA implosion means for the rest of us. Because when this cabinet clowns, the country pays.

Let’s get into it. 🍋
