Don sits down once again with the hilarious Jennifer Welch, co-host of I've Had It, for a conversation on the endlessly tacky decor that Donald Trump has forced this country to endure. A UFC arena on the White House lawn, a golden Oval Office, the destruction of the East Wing to build an absurdly large ballroom, a Trump Arch!? Why does everything this man touch turn to gold and then die? How much more of this country's legacy is left to ruin? And how quickly will the next Democrats in power tear it all down? Fingers crossed, Lemonheads. 🍋
