Listen "A Jet, a Lie, a Tariff: The Trump Grift Machine"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The David Frum Show, The Atlantic’s David Frum breaks down what he calls “the week of the four scams”—a stunning display of misinformation and corruption from President Donald Trump involving fake trade deals, manipulated markets, and even a personal jet from Qatar.
