Donald Trump didn’t come out of nowhere—he was engineered. In this episode, we trace how decades of Republican strategies built the perfect conditions for his rise, from Newt Gingrich’s cutthroat politics to fossil fuel alliances, voter suppression, and a relentless war on democratic institutions. Featuring insights from political figures, journalists, and strategists, we uncover how the GOP’s embrace of disinformation, wealth transfers to the elite, and climate denial created not just a president, but a political monster. This is the story of a party devoured by its own creation—and what it means for America’s future.
