Cognitive Decline Meet Geopolitics: Confidently Clueless

<p>Trump’s back on the mic and it’s… Sharpies, sex, and 'aced' dementia tests while the world edges closer to chaos.</p><br /><p>Marina and Jemma wade through the surreal: from Trump confusing cognitive screenings with IQ tests, to casually musing about&nbsp;seizing<em>&nbsp;</em>Iran’s oil like it’s on a tapas menu. Meanwhile, his administration openly flirts with war crimes, hands out awards for sycophancy, and somehow finds time to discuss ballroom renovations mid-conflict.</p><br /><p>There’s dark absurdity (a literal assassination GoFundMe), genuine fear (what happens if Karg Island is targeted), and the creeping reality that global stability may hinge on one man’s ego.</p><br /><p>Plus: brain-fart moments, EastEnders-style geopolitics, listener stories that hit hard, and a reminder that even in the bin fire humanity still exists.</p><br /><p>It’s chaotic. It’s bleak. It’s occasionally hilarious.</p><br /><p>It’s The Trawl.
