Welcome to Trump’s America, The i Paper’s World Insight series presenting the sharpest, deepest thinking on an era-defining shift in history and politics, investigating how Donald Trump and his administration have changed the US and the world – and where we go from here.

• America can’t afford to retire• The US is becoming impossible to live in• The White House I worked for would have condemned this image. Trump refuses• Maga leaders want “traditional American families” – but can’t stop having affairs• Sin City has lost its shine. It shows how far America has fallen• The Florida street that exposes America’s growing homophobia• Inside America’s most loyal Trump town – where people still think he’s ‘a good man’

I am now halfway through my 2026 comedy tour Unicorns in the Kitchen, and I end every show with a live Q&A session with the audience. I was unprepared for how frequently I would be asked the same questions EVERY night. No matter what city I am performing in, the number one inquiry is ALWAYS about the President’s anatomy. It is usually a man doing the asking!

Another question I’m frequently asked is: “What is your pet peeve?” I usually give a light-hearted response that I hate it when my husband replaces the batteries in the TV remote by taking them out of something of mine (let’s pretend I am referring to my electric toothbrush). While irritating, it doesn’t compare to my actual biggest pet peeve: Hypocrites.
