218: Catherine Rampell on Trump’s Tariffs and DOGE

from The Al Franken Podcast · host The Al Franken Podcast

Despite widespread warnings about what economic havoc they could cause, Donald Trump announced his plan to put tariffs on nearly every nation in the world. Catherine Rampell, opinion columnist for The Washington Post and co-host of MSNBC’s The Weekend, gives her instant reaction to Trump's plan. If history (and the current stock market) is any indication, we're in for a painful road ahead. Catherine also discusses Elon Musk and how his Department Of Government Efficiency has created painful chaos as he dismantles the government’s workforce and essential services.Read Catherine's writing in the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/catherine-rampell/
