This week on The Trawl , Jemma and Marina wade through a global cesspit of power, propaganda and, quite literally, poo. From Donald Trump’s unhinged AI fantasy, featuring himself as a crowned Top Gun pilot dropping actual sewage on protesters, to the real-life horror of leaked GOP group chats filled with racist bile, America is plumbing new depths. Meanwhile, back in Blighty, Tesco’s being called out, M&S thinks it’s Harrods, and the Palace is in a PR panic as Prince Andrew’s name re-enters the headlines ahead of Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir. Thank goodness for characters like Zohran Mandami who aren't afraid to hold powerful men to account for their sleazy misdemeanours and indeed crimes. There’s hypocrisy, hubris, and high-octane nonsense on both sides of the pond — plus your usual Underrated Clips and Tweets of the week. Grab your waders, Trawlers. It’s a murky one.
