As Donald Trump continues his campaign in the form of a flameout nervous breakdown, the theme of the 2024 election is ‘No Country for Old Men.’ Specifically, Old Weird Men.
‘Leaving Trumpland 2.0’ is a mix of standup and storytelling, with a bit of Trump-inspired improvisation at the end. Shapiro wrote Leaving Trumpland 1.0 in 2020 - during COVID. He argues that a Trump comeback would be about as welcome as COVID 2.0.
In Shapiro’s most personal moment, he shares the details of how COVID killed his step-father, due to Trump’s fantasyland followers. Now, Shapiro is accused of lying about his step-father just to make Trump look bad (like Trump needs help). Greg is happy to peel back all the layers and share the unvarnished truth. Leaving Trumpland 2.0 is Shapiro’s most brutally honest show yet.
Leaving Trumpland 2.0 is performed in English, with some content in Dutch.
