MAGA Billionaires Turn AGAINST Trump On Tariffs!

from The Jimmy Dore Show · host Wase History Club

Some of Donald Trump’s most prominent billionaire backers have begun sounding the alarm on the tariffs that have roiled markets. JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned they could have lasting negative consequences and impact America's long-term economic alliances and the global economy.  Meanwhile, hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, who endorsed Donald Trump's run for president, warned the country was "heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter,” and said business leaders were losing confidence in Trump. Even Elon Musk has expressed reservations about whether the tariffs are all that advisable. Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether maybe the tariffs are actually good if they’re upsetting members of the billionaire class. Plus segments on Trump announcing direct nuclear talks with Iran, Trump and Netanyahu lying openly about Gaza, a top Russian official crediting Trump with averting World War III and GOP Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana slipping up and admitting he wants to cut Medicare. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Dennis Kucinich and Malcolm Fleschner. Plus a phone call from Andrew Cuomo!
