Episode Synopsis
"The small guy will be poor, the rich guy will be richer, and the American budget will still be in the toilet." Donald Trump has announced a blanket 10% tariff on all goods being imported into the United States as well as targeting specific nations with further measures in the latest escalation of the US Trade War. But with American consumers set to bear the cost, are the tariffs simply intended as a massive tax hike by another name? Meanwhile, a loss in Wisconsin signals the declining political capital of a spiralling Elon Musk. Also chatting about the Signal group chat fallout, or lack thereof, threats toward Iran and Greenland, third term talk for Trump, Luigi Mangione, and Corey Booker.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
