On today's episode of The Blindspot, I start by talking about the death of Pope Francis, and then note that Presidents Trump and Zelenski met at St. Peter’s Basilica before the funeral, which leads me into a broader conversation about Zelenski’s fashion choices and the state of the Russia-Ukraine war. From there, I get into the American economy after a series of highly unorthodox moves by Trump, and how he's placed a massive bet that will rise or fall on economic results. I point out how Trump's actions on both Ukraine and the economy don’t even make sense by the standards of their own stated logic. Then I move into how the Democrats are bungling their messaging around Kilmar Garcia, before closing with a brief lament about the Israel-Gaza situation. Enjoy!
