The Daily Herold – 11/28/2025: Thanksgiving Recap, Trump’s Blunt Message & Ukraine’s Crumbling Inner Circle

Jon Herold returns from Thanksgiving with a light news day but plenty of sharp commentary as he recaps hosting family, cooking with the ChefIQ, and catching up on Stranger Things before diving into Trump’s fiery Thanksgiving message—complete with Trump’s unapologetic takedown of Ilhan Omar, Tim Walz, mass immigration, and the costs of supporting millions of non-citizens. Jon highlights Trump’s vow to permanently pause migration from third-world countries, eliminate benefits for non-citizens, and potentially end income tax altogether. He then turns to Ukraine, covering the major resignation of Zelensky’s top aide and peace negotiator following an anti-corruption raid, questioning how corruption could possibly be “cleaned up” when every associate around Zelensky keeps falling. Jon digs back into the Emerald Robinson controversy, calling parts of the narrative contradictory and illogical, and discusses why certain election-fraud claims feel like deliberate misdirection. He closes with audience Q&A on Ratcliffe, devolution, irregular warfare, narrative control, silver prices, family updates, and why Trump’s critics underestimate him at their own peril, before signing off for family photos and raiding Ghost’s show.
