No Country for Old Men | A 2024 Election Survival Guide Dutch-American comedian Greg Shapiro (Boom Chicago, BNR, Comedy Central) presents a US Election Special. Kamala Harris says: “We’re not going back”. Greg Shapiro says: “Leaving Trumpland”. 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.
Greg Shapiro is known as the voice of the ‘Netherlands Second’ video from ‘Zondag met Lubach.’ But now, if Trump wins, will Shapiro ever feel comfortable returning to the country of his birth? Shapiro keeps hearing the question: “Don’t you want Trump to be president again?” His answer is the same thing Mark Rutte said to Trump in the White House: “Haha! No.” ‘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. Korte vertaling:
Donald Trump is terug! Greg Shapiro presenteert met ‘Leaving Trumpland 2.0’ een survivalgids voor de Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingen in 2024. Zal Shapiro ooit nog kunnen terugkeren naar zijn geboorteland wanneer Trump wint? Steeds weer krijgt Shapiro de vraag: “Maar wil je dan niet dat Trump weer president wordt?” Zijn antwoord daarop is hetzelfde als Mark Rutte ooit in het Witte Huis zei: “Haha! No!” Pers over Greg Shapiro:
