Trump is getting Trumpier and Biden, more Bidenish
About this episode
Welcome back to another Saturday coffee klatch with Heather Lofthouse, where we examine the lows and lowers of the previous week. Today on our roster:
— Jobs, the economy, and Bidenomics. With everything going well, why are Americans so unhappy?
— The presidential sweepstakes. Should we worry that Trump is even more outrageous but seemingly physically strong, while Biden is competent but seemingly frail?
— The Supreme Court’s continued rightward drift. If it continues to move in a direction counter to what most people want, how does it maintain public trust?
— Twitter versus Threads. Zuckerberg and Meta are now taking on Musk and Twitter. What’s the likely outcome?
— Weather weirdness, all over America. Will it end in fire or ice?
