EVERYTHING TRUMP TOUCHES DIES

In this smart and funny critique, we see perhaps the one good thing that has come out of the Trump presidency and conservative populist movements in general -- uniting rational minds from across the political spectrum in an effort to defeat a common enemy.

A lifelong conservative, Rick Wilson was one of the first and most powerfully vocal members of the Never Trump movement, and he has leveled a consistent, powerful, and witty critique of Donald Trump from the right. EVERYTHING TRUMP TOUCHES DIES explores the forces and people that made a President Trump -- and more broadly, burgeoning populist movements abroad -- possible. From the political left to the right, from the rich to the poor, even the religious and mainstream media all played a part, as did Russia and Putin.

We'll see how Trump's campaign of insults, economic nostalgia and blatant lies enabled the mainstreaming of racism, sexism, bigotry and just plain ignorance. Other highlights include: an American embarrassment on the world stage, "shithole countries," a tragicomic mishandling of North Korean leader Kim Jong Don, and a questionable relationship with Vladimir Putin. Rick will wrap up this social satire with an eye toward a post-Trump world and how, or if, this wave of populism will subside.
