Clips and excerpts from Sarah Huckabee Sanders; Eric Swalwell; Bill Mahar; Katy Tur; Van Jones; Jay-Z; Trevor Noah; Kellyanne Conway; Stephen Colbert; Richard Nixon; Anderson Cooper; Rachel Maddow; Lawrence O'Donnell; Terry McAuliffe; Chris Matthews; Ari Melber; Chuck Todd; The Three Stooges; and Chris Murphy. "Donald Drumpf Theatre is an original radio theatre show, with most sounds culled from the previous week, about a fictional, theatrical presidency. Contradictions tell the story, with songs, skits, and clips from political news shows and late-night comedy routines. The definition of "radio theatre" is stretched here, with an updated Dickie Goodman and/or Richard Foreman-meets-mashup style sometimes, and a more straightforward take other weeks. Currently, the network has ordered another 15 episodes, but there are threats of cancellation. Anyone who would like to contribute to the show, should contact info@wgxc.org.
