  • The Price Is Wrong: Trump’s Terrible Game of Tariff Roulette
    This week we spin the wheel of misfortune for a whammy of a looming economic disaster- Trump’s proposed tariff policies. We break down how these misguided measures could send shockwaves through American households, potentially doubling or even tripling grocery bills and skyrocketing prices on everyday goods. From the devastation of U.S. agriculture to the crippling of international trade, we cover the far-reaching consequences of Trump’s tariff obsession. But it’s not all doom and gloom – learn about the strategic battlegrounds in Congress and the courts where this economic catastrophe can be averted. But wait there’s more! Tristan discusses the recent developments in the many legal cases against Trump, the developments in South Korea and so much more.
