A LITTLE TREAT: Jessie and Clare Cancel Donald Trump
Subscribe to Mamamia Outlouders, with the US presidential election this week, we thought it would be timely to share with you the time the Cancelled courtroom welcomed 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 including 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 moments you may have forgotten about. Plus, more lazy gewl stories. The End Bits: Listen to the latest episode of Mamamia Out Loud Listen to Donald Trump Part Two: Yelling At A Child & The Most Embarrassing Tantrum In History, here.
