In this episode of The Bullshit Filter, Cameron and Ray unpack the mythology around Donald Trump’s tariff policies, the real story behind the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the long, hypocritical game the U.S. has played when it comes to global trade. Cameron breaks down the roots of China’s role as the world’s factory, how the U.S. engineered it, and why Americans are now whining about the monster they created.
