How is Donald Trump planning his revenge...

GLOBAL
About this episode

Donald Trump is wondering aloud what prison would be like.

He probably doesn't have to -it's extremely unlikely that the sentence eventually handed down to him in July will be custodial. But his MAGA henchmen are already talking about what happens if he wins in November, and what their revenge on the prosecutors who tried him will be.

Has belief in the rule of law amongst MAGA voters broken down? And what is this doing to America?

And whilst one trial is behind us, another has just kicked off.

Hunter Biden, the President's only living son, is in court in Delaware on charges of falsification after he bought a gun as a drug addict. But can Democrats use this moment to their advantage?
