January 23, 2021 EP. 31: Revisiting How I was Right... Yet So Wrong about Trump as President
Taking a look at an article I wrote for REVOLT TV in 2016 on "3 reasons why Trump as president isn't as bad as you think". Because it was actually way worse than I could have ever imagined. And although I got some things right in the assessment, I was way off on others I could have never imagined even in the best episode of Black Mirror. I also give my takeaways and inspiration from our 2020 Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman
SOUND OFF: What did you think in 2016? Did you anticipate the last 4 years going the way they did? What's your biggest take away moving into 2021 and a new administration under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?
