About This Show

She’s hot, rich, and f*cking powerful. She’s making millions selling her line of shoes, Jared’s voice is as soothing as ASMR, and her kids keep her busy. But does she have the balls to shape the future? A dazzling meditation on heroism starring an alternate version of America’s first daughter.
