Brexit ... but make it American

from Make Me Smart · host Marketplace

Nearly a decade after Brexit, the British economy is still feeling the fallout. Now, President Donald Trump seems to be pulling from a similar playbook — with tariffs that could reshape the U.S. economy in eerily familiar ways. (Shocker, we know!) But first: Trump threatens to send Americans to prisons in El Salvador. The constitutional crisis alarm bells are ringing. Plus, poop in space is a bigger problem than you might think.Here’s everything we talked about today:"Trump again threatens to send Americans to prisons in El Salvador" from Axios"Fox Nation Plans Game Show About Isolated People Guessing What Trump Did In His First 90 Days" from The Hollywood Reporter"Trump admin shrinks federal Medicaid funding available to states" from Axios"HHS Lays Off All Full-Time Cruise Ship Health Inspectors Amid Illness Outbreaks: Report" from The Huffington Post"NASA offers $3M in competition to recycle human poop in space" from UPI"How Brexit, a Startling Act of Economic Self-Harm, Foreshadowed Trump’s Tariffs" from The New York Times"Meet the Comedian Putting Trump Voter Regret to Music" from Rolling Stone Got a question for our hosts?
