Welcome to the Cancelled courtroom Donald John Trump, reality star, businessman, former president and current presidential candidate. 

Donald is no stranger to a real courtroom but today is all about his petty crimes like drinking 12 diet cokes a day, claiming bodies are like batteries and not thinking through the logistics of a particular wall. 

Now, if you genuinely tried to do a Cancelled episode about Mr Donald, you’d be going for a decade so instead the episode covers SOME of the bizarre you may have forgotten about.

Plus, more of your lazy gewl stories.

Listen to Donald Trump Part Two: Yelling At A Child & The Most Embarrassing Tantrum In History, here.
