The betrayal of Ukraine is how many observers have described it. The unthinkable swing behind Russia and North Korea has spun the world out and left leaders reeling. Today Marion examines the many layers of cowardice underneath this move and what might happen next. It’s another breathless episode of Irishman In America where we try to understand the many bizarre decisions this administration has made in the last 10 days. Including but not limited to mass firing of Federal workers via the email debacle, the banning of AP from the White House and the firing of General Brown. Is Donald mentally able for the job? He certainly is struggling with complex ideas. Marion digs into the Elon Musk popularity index and the fall of Tesla sales.
