In this Trawl, we're heading Stateside because, frankly, you can’t look away.

From Pentagon prayer sessions to a defence secretary apparently quoting Pulp Fiction as scripture, Marina Purkiss and Jemma Forte try (and fail) to make sense of the latest chaos unfolding in US politics. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is back making sweeping claims about Iran, the Pope, and global diplomacy many of which don’t quite stand up to scrutiny.

As tensions escalate around the Strait of Hormuz, questions swirl about what’s really going on behind the scenes and who, if anyone, is actually in control.

Plus: MAGA vs the Pope, market-moving statements, political hypocrisy, and one truly unhinged news cycle.

Confused? So are we. Let’s trawl through it together.
