Harsh Tariff Truths Sinking In, While MAGA Celebrates Trump 'Genius'
About this episode
Trump reversed course, and the stock market flowered in response, and everything's now OK, right? Well, except that a lot of damage has been done, most of the tariffs actually still remain, and there's no sign that the administration really has learnt the lessons of what just happened. As a result of that sinking in, the stock markets have been sliding again today. And the world is getting to grips with what it really means to have the two biggest trading nations locked in a fierce trade war. While we're doing that, MAGA leaders are celebrating Trump's genius and saying how this was the plan all along. As a result of the stupidity, this episode carries an 'enhanced snark' warning!
