This week on Ring of Fire!
Donald Trump has made many lofty promises about what his trade war tariffs would do for Americans, and so far not one of them has come true. He promised that Americans wouldn’t see higher prices; He promised that we’d be richer than ever to the point where tariffs could eliminate most of our income taxes; He promised that other countries would pay the price; And now he’s promising that the slight reduction in gas prices will make up the difference for the increasing cost of goods. None of this is going to happen.
Even though he’s only been in office for 4 months, Donald Trump has already received an unprecedented number of “gifts” from foreign countries, not even counting the trash plane he wants to take from Qatar. But the truth is that none of these things are actually “gifts” – describing them as bribes would be far more accurate. And now former White House ethics lawyers are warning that Trump is being bought off by just about everyone with money to spare.
As Elon Musk slowly slinks away from The White House to return to his failing Tesla business, Republican strategists are proclaiming that the Party is DONE with Musk and the toxicity that he has brough with him. A new report highlighted several prominent Republican strategists and pollsters who talking about how Musk has cost the Party far more than he’s worth, including costing them some very winnable elections this year alone.
All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!
