Hi, I'm Angie Hicks, co founder of Angie. One thing I've learned is that you buy a house, but you make it a home. And for decades, Angie's helped millions of homeowners hire skilled pros for the projects that matter. Get all your jobs done well@angie.com. All right, Yesterday, there was just an obscene off the rails. This guy is mentally cooked presser before he leaves to go to Davos. And everybody knows who I'm talking about. This first clip is so insane. Yesterday, Pumps and I were talking about, like, programming for the podcast. I was like, I don't want to do any more of, like, Trump stupid press conferences. She's like, I agree, we're all so sick of that. Well, then of course he out crazies himself. And we're going to show you all this because I think it's important that this be injected into the record and that all of us in this community, the I hipsters that we understand that this guy's going to continue to do this every single day. The Republicans and corporate Dems and European allies that are complicit in this at this point or the problem. He's predictable. His unpredictable press conferences have become so predictable. So here he is, completely off the rails. This is a little over a minute. His presser yesterday was two hours. But listen to how insane this is. Play the clip.
B
In my area in Queens, I grew up in Queens, we had a place called Creedmoor. Creedmoor. Did anybody know that? Creedmoor. It was a big. I said, mom, why are those bars on the building? I used to play little league baseball. There a place called Cunningham Park. It was quite the baseball player. You wouldn't believe.
A
I'm sure he was.
B
I said to my mother, mom, she would be there, always there for me. She said, son, you could be a professional baseball player for sure. I said, thanks, Mom.
A
I said, why not?
B
Those bars on the windows, Big building, big, powerful building. It loomed over the park, actually. She said, well, people that are very sick are in that building. I said, boy, I used to always look at that building and I'd see big building, big, tall building. It loomed over the park. It was sort of, now that I think it was a pretty unfriendly sight. But I'll never forget. I don't know if it's still there because they got rid of most of them. You know, the Democrats in New York, they took them down. And the people live on the streets now. That's why you have a lot of the people in California and other places they live in the streets. They took the mental institutions down. They're expensive, but I'd say, why does that building up those bars, boy, it didn't. It wasn't normal. You know, you're used to looking at like a window, but this one, you look at it, all the steel, vicious steel, tiny windows, bars all over the place. Nobody was getting out. It's called the mental institution. That was an insane asylum. Designated antifa.
A
As designated antifa. Okay, I have a theory. Everybody knows that pumps. And I fancy ourselves armchair psychologists because we ourselves have had so much therapy over the years. I think part of this story is true. I think he was in the park with his mother. I think he sucks at baseball because we all know he's not athletic. And I think his mom said, you're crazy and if you're not a good boy, you're going to end up in an insane asylum. Because you know how I've told you guys, old people, they just start leaking like a sieve about what the problems here he is talking about his childhood and it links his lack of athleticism, which he feels very insecure about. It links his obsession with, with his insane asylum. And it also links clearly he's got mommy daddy issues. And beyond that, beyond the psychological deep dive. This is the Amer American President. This is the President of the United States. You guys, we are so cooked because he is so cooked. And right now the stock market is crashing and this is an opportunity to where you see that within the Republican party, Trump has 90% support. Well, the cultists that don't have 401ks will say the course, these country club Republicans that I like to beat up on all the time, the most morally bankrupt people in the United States of America, they will all of a sudden go, oh, my God, I can critically, critically think now this is beneath the dignity, dignity of the Oval Office. As soon as it affects their pocketbook, that willful lack of critical thinking and their willful denial will completely turn off because these people have the ability to do that.
C
You kind of stole my theory. My theory was that he knows he's failing all these cognitive tests, so he knows that he's headed and needs to be in a mental institution somewhere deep inside. And so he's telling you this, that that was my theory. So you kind of stole it, but it was just a little different.
A
Okay, Moving along, he is still laser focused on Norway and he just like, he cannot understand the difference between those seeking asylum and an insane asylum. He cannot. People have tried to explain it to him. This has been going on for years. He cannot understand that the Nobel Peace Prize headquarters are in the country of Norway. But the country of Norway has nothing to do with the prize. Much like the Oscars, the Oscars are housed in the United States of America. The United States government doesn't control who wins the Oscar yet. But I'm sure that old queen over at the Kennedy center center and this old queen running the White House will probably have input on that. But here he is laser focused on this Nobel Peace Prize, which we're never going to hear the end of.
B
Never should have gotten the Nobel Prize for each war. But I don't say that I saved millions and millions of people. And don't let anyone tell you that Norway doesn't control the shots, okay? That it's in Norway. Norway controls the shots. They'll say, we have nothing to do with it. It's a joke. They've lost such prestige, got all. That's why I have such respect for Maria doing what she did. She said, I don't deserve the Nobel Prize. He does. When she got it, they named. They said, wow, that's amazing. I thought President Trump would get it. President Trump does.
A
Okay, this is a prime example. She gave him the award. The thing that he wants more than anything on the planet, mind you, a black man earned it on his own. He has to have somebody come give him his. And this is a prime example that nothing will fill him up. Nothing will fix him. I would even say that next year, let's say that Norway and everybody just went apeshit bananas. And they were like, effort. Everybody's appeasing this guy. I want to appease him, too. Let's give him eight peace prizes. He would still be bitter about this one. Nothing will fix him. Nothing will fix this man. To quote his niece, Mary Trump, too much is never enough.
C
But here's the thing about this. Like, if you're that in love and dying to have sloppy seconds and you're not embarrassed by the fact that you're getting sloppy seconds again, I don't know what to say. If you want an award and I. You said, angie, I want you to have the award. I would say, it's yours. I don't want you to have it because I don't want sloppy seconds. I think of myself as better than sloppy fucking seconds. He doesn't. He's happy to take sloppy seconds.
A
Look at this conversation, what this is reduced to. We're talking about the President of the United States. And if I gave Angie an award, she wouldn't Take it or she gave me an award. I wouldn't take it. We're podcasters, okay? This is the President of the United States. His brain is cooked. He's mentally ill. He clearly has Alzheimer's, dementia, whatever. He's really not that bright. He's failing his cognitive exams. And the fact that he's even talking about cognitive exams, all of this just makes me so goddamn mad at Joe Biden and Merrick Garland. I could take my computer and bang it. That something about people, when they get in power, this whole country over party and country over personality and all this stuff, it's such on either side. We saw what happened on January 6th. He was this crazy. Then he's running around with the MyPillow guy doing crazy stuff that my pillow TV channel is in there asking him questions. And this, he's going to continue to do this. He's going to continue to not be filled up by losing the Nobel Peace Prize. I want to remind you, we're talking about the President United. Like he ran for a very serious job that is going to require a lot of criticism, a lot of wins, a lot of losses. You have to have thick skin and be smart and emotionally stable to be able to do this job. And again, we're all reduced. Not just pumps and me, but everybody's reduced to having these regressive conversations like he's 10 and it's, it's just completely unacceptable. And he's going to do this every single day. He's going to wake up, go to the podium, throw grenades and at his own legacy, at the United States of America, at the country we've built for 250 years. Everybody's pulling all of their investments, dumping bonds, dumping Treasuries. Everybody is dumping the American dollar. And at this point, I want to talk about the people that are appeasing him, the appeasers. They are the fundamental problem because they've seen this press conference. And here he is with wrestling with a giant paper clip and a printout of his accomplishments. Play the clip.
B
Here's the book. These are all things we have. I'm going to read a few of the samples, but look at this. These are all. Each line is something that we did. Nobody did that before. And it's big stuff too. Look, we have the hottest country in the world.
A
Okay? This is just. He is so cooked. I mean, his brain is mush and he's sitting there with his printout fully slipping through it. He didn't say anything of significance, throwing papers around. You know, this is the Democrats. You guys, I'm going to lose my mind that there are are not groups of centrists, progressives, leftists standing together and targeting alleged moderate Republicans on the microphone, calling them out and saying, this is 25th amendment time. Our dollar is tanking Canada and everybody is retrieving to China. While this man is on the global stage whining about not winning a trophy, China is saying, hey, we understand your former partner is being difficult. We're open for business. Right? Come do business with us. So all you country club Republicans that are able to vote against the people you love in your lives that may be marginalized because you care about money more than you do your family members and or friends that are from a marginalized group, he just F'd you. He just F'd you just like he does everybody else. There's going to be no quick fix to this because he's so mentally unstable.
C
Well, and you look at what we heard, that Tulsi Gabbard was going to give briefings about national intelligence through a Fox News type style hit because he can't read it. Famously, during his criminal trial in New York, they had somebody running around printing stuff in the courthouse to tell him how great he was so he could sit through the trial like an adult. Last week he had a meeting with somebody and had a binder full of his accomplishments. He has to hold his accomplishments because he's that insecure. And I dare say there are not a full page of accomplishments other than like, we've stopped windmill growth. Okay, well that's bad. We changed it to Gulf of, you know, I mean, it's just like the, it makes no sense. Like he doesn't have any accomplishments. And what is wrong with somebody that has to have somebody running them around and tell them how accomplished they are? Is that a big boy? Is that a high T, alpha male? No, it's the teeny tiniest of little handed little man, insecure person. And he's our president.
A
And again, I'm going to bring this back to you guys. He's going to consistently have these grievances that he rolls out.
C
Right?
A
I didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. I look at all these lists that my staff prepared, look at this big thick book and he's going to throw it around like an old queen listening to Phantom of the Opera and he's going to not understand the difference between those seeking asylum, insane asylum. He doesn't care that people don't have health care. He has no health care plan. This is going to be every day. Wake up, he walks to the podium, his brain is cooked, his brain is mush. He's morally depraved. He goes to sleep, he rage, tweets all night, he gets up and he repeats it. This is his normal. This is the only stability we're going to have as far as the executive branch. We can sit here and pull our hair out by the root and have the same episode every morning all day long. The focus at this point must be the people that are appeasing him, the people around him that are going along with this, obviously Pam Bondi, all of the people in his cabinet. But why are the Democrats oftentimes voting for this agenda? Why are the Democrats, when we are really have them by the balls during the government shutdown? Why are we appeasing this administration? And that's something that we really are going to have to reconcile with because this man is predictably unpredictable. It's the same old tired story just like this. Here he is laser focused on the 2020 election. He will never shut up about this.
B
All allowed in here by an open border policy of the worst president in the history of our country. A man that didn't win the election, by the way, got a rigged election. Everybody knows that now. And by the way, numbers are coming out that show it even more plainly.
A
It's just a lot of.
B
We caught him.
A
No, you didn't.
B
So I just want you to know that it's, it's a terrible, it's a terrible thing.
A
There he is throwing on the floor.
B
Again the book on.
A
Okay, we've seen this. So I don't know if he's tranquilized in addition to all of the other mental shortcomings that he has. But the problem that we have here is you think about all these country club Republicans that talk about the Constitution, they talk about the dignity of, of the office. Think about the Senate Majority Leader, John Th, and he is watching this. Any Republican that is going along with this, the Republican Party MAGA at large, country club Republican voters that go along with this now until forever have zero credibility. Zero. They have zero credibility because they don't believe in anything. They don't believe in anything. They want this power so bad, in this childlike impulse to own the libs, this childlike impulse to say, oh, we did it, you know, we're able to get up here. And then they're so blinded by their own insatiable pursuit of power and racism and you know, you put pronouns in people's bios and DEI made us feel crazy and neutered that they're willing to tank the entire country, including their own 401 case for this little short sighted moment. And so this man is going to continue to be this way. He's going to continue to be a two to three trick pony. Nobel Peace Prize 2020 election. I'm the greatest, hottest thing on the planet. That's it. That's his shtick. That's all he has. It's going to continue. The Democrats, you still have your voice. You might have the minority, but you have your voice. Every single day. There should be a resistance press conference wherein you select some vulnerable Republican in the House or in the Senate in a purple county, in a purple district that you laser focus on. Do something. Do something about this. We are podcasters. We talk about all this time we don't have power, but you actually do. And you could start putting pressure on these people and you could say, it's interesting that Senator XYZ says this because in the cafeteria the other day he was bashing Trump. These people are all liars. They're all con men. They're going along with this and they don't give a About America, get aggressive, for God's sake. We don't need Cory Booker talking about giving ICE more money for better training when the ICE trainer is the one that shot somebody in the face and then called her an effing. So this is unoriginally, predictably predictable. I mean, this is what this man does every day. Democrats do something different. We are begging you, begging you to have a resistance. All right, like subscribe, comment. We'll be back later with more news.
Episode Title: Trump Throws Things At Insane Presser As World Leaders Ice Him Out
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Date: January 21, 2026
This episode centers on the hosts' comedic yet scathing take on a recent, chaotic Trump press conference held just before he leaves for Davos. Jennifer and Angie dissect the President's erratic behavior, vacillating grievances, and apparent cognitive decline—while sharply critiquing the Republicans and Democrats complicit in enabling him. With trademark irreverence, they blend armchair psychological analysis, political outrage, and biting humor, urging their listeners—and Democratic leaders—to actively resist and confront both Trump and his appeasers.
The tone throughout is acerbic and exasperated, interwoven with humor and disbelief. Jennifer and Angie pull no punches: they ridicule Trump’s performance, lament the spinelessness of political enablers, and urge listeners to stay angry—and act. Their analysis dwells equally on Trump’s apparent psychological unraveling and the urgent necessity to resist normalization of his behavior, ending with a rousing plea for daily action:
“We are podcasters... but you actually do [have power]. And you could start putting pressure on these people... Democrats do something different. We are begging you, begging you to have a resistance.” [15:49]
Useful for: Anyone seeking a fast, insightful, and entertaining account of Trump’s January 2026 press conference, the hosts’ psychological reading of the president, and an urgent plea to political leaders to resist normalization of dysfunction.
