In this week's episode, we break down Trump's chaotic new trade war and its immediate devastating impact on the markets. We draw parallels between this administration's trade "liberation" and the Bush-era Iraq War disaster, examining:
- The fallout from Trump's sweeping tariff announcements that wiped $1.65 trillion from the US stock market in minutes
- The mass layoffs hitting public health agencies, senior services, and cultural institutions
- How Elon Musk's DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) is driving record job cuts across the country
- Surprising Democratic victories in local elections across Wisconsin and Illinois despite Musk spending millions
- The ongoing SignalGate scandal expanding as more security lapses are revealed
- Laura Loomer's alarming influence over national security personnel decisions
Join us in the Cornfield Resistance for our trademark blend of political analysis, righteous anger, and sardonic humor as we document the latest chapter in Republican mismanagement. As we remind our listeners: "Never forget, it was our Republican neighbors, colleagues and family members who did this. This is what they voted for."
