Mamamia Out Loud

Picture this. You're driving through Maccas desperate for a cheeseburger, only to be greeted by Donald Trump. Not a hairnet in sight. Which part of this scenario you find the most disturbing? That's entirely up to you.

But to unpack exactly why Trump was cosplaying this week at McDonald's, special guest Amelia Lester, Deputy Editor of Foreign Policy, joins us to explain not only this but the crucial difference between poll predictions and election vibes. Plus, the man from Fox News who always calls the election early — and correctly. What's he got to say this time?
