单集简介 ...

In the last year and a half, President Donald Trump has put his name, image, or both, on a whole host of things — federal buildings, passports, the resident National Park pass, the administration’s child savings accounts, the under construction border wall, and of course, the Kennedy Center. But why? Why is Trump so obsessed with seeing his name on pretty much everything that isn’t nailed down (and a lot that is)? To find out, we spoke with Alex Wagner, host of Crooked Media’s Runaway Country. And in headlines, the Iran war hits the six-month mark, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh suggests the central bank may have to raise interest rates, Trump announces a U.S. Space Academy, and Trump plans to send Vice President JD Vance to Ground Zero for the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

  • on the real issues at play with President Donald Trump's renaming of Lake Ontario.

  • Here's what troubles me.

  • So it took me 12 years to remember that acronym to learn the Great Lakes.

  • It's HOMES, right?

  • Oh.

  • All right.

  • The O changes to A.

  • That's close to Hamas.

  • That's what bothers me about changing the name from Ontario to America is how close that acronym is to Hamas.

  • Yes, Trey, that's the problem here.

  • Also, 12 years?

  • OK.

  • On today's show, we talk about Trump's naming obsession with runaway country's Alex Wagner.
