MAGA Bing! How The Sopranos explains Donald Trump
Listen now
Description
Donald Trump feels like a TV character – and if you’re a Sopranos fan, you might have noticed a similarity with Tony Soprano. Both are imposing egomaniacs, desperate to control their families, get more power and indulge themselves along the way. Jacob Jarvis is joined by former Obama speechwriter and fellow Sopranos superfan David Litt to discuss the comparisons and what the HBO show can teach us about the world of MAGA.  Read David’s piece: The Sopranos Is the Perfect Show to Help Us Understand the Trump Era.   We are sponsored by Indeed.
