MS NOW’s Rachel Maddow on Wednesday floated an idea about how to keep Donald Trump busy.
Give him his own home makeover reality show.
Asked on ABC’s “The View” whether she thought Trump’s MAGA movement was nearing its end, following what outgoing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) called “an extinction-level event” for Republicans in the 2026 midterms, Maddow noted that Trump still has two years left in office.
“He could leave,” she acknowledged, before suggesting Trump be offered a show modeled on “Pimp My Ride,” the mid-noughties MTV series (of reportedly staged nature) that saw rapper Xzibit oversee vehicle glow-ups.
“It’s my favorite reality show of all time,” said Maddow, who was on ABC to promote her new book about the Justice Department, “Department of Fate.”
She continued:
“I thought somebody should suggest to Donald Trump, he loves all the redecorating stuff and turning the Oval Office gold and erecting statues everywhere. Somebody just offer him a TV show that’s like ‘Trump My House’ or ‘Trump My Town’ and give him little budgets to go put up foam core gold things.”
“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg took the idea a step further, suggesting Trump could buy an island, provided he gave $1 billion to taxpayers, where he could “put up all the gold” he wanted.
Co-host Joy Behar then deadpanned: “It’s a good idea. Rikers Island,” referring to New York City’s notorious jail complex, prompting laughter from the audience.
