Trump Derangement Syndrome

Helen Lewis and Armando Iannucci look into the symptoms of Trump Derangement Syndrome, and those who have been 'cured', including the Prime Minister and the Vice President.

Comedy writer Armando Iannucci and journalist Helen Lewis decode the utterly baffling world of political language.

This week, Trump has truly settled back into the White House, but is it different this time around? Helen and Armando take a look at how this unique politician uses language to get his way. We also look at Trump Derangement Syndrome - a favourite phrase of the new President to describe his detractors - and how other politicians have changed their tune about Trump since his last term.
