Trump Made $2.9 BILLION On His Meme Coin And Americans Still Can’t Afford Eggs

from Who Dem? · host The OX Institute

Representative Gil Cisneros (D-CA 31) and Max Katz recap Trump's latest economic moves; from tariffs on foreign films to the ethics of his meme coin profits. Discussions include: executive overreach, how unchecked power threatens working Americans, GOP’s chaotic reconciliation bill, internal Republican dysfunction, and why Democratic messaging struggles to break through. Gil and Max then explore the dangerous shift in political norms, the Supreme Court’s controversial immunity stance, the erosion of checks and balances, and why young voters feel disconnected from party leadership (& what it will take to reenergize Democratic enthusiasm). They wrap with a BTS look at the Congressional Baseball Game and how lawmakers are repping their hometowns.Chapters:0:00 - House Republicans cancel hearings2:00 - Trump’s economic lies and the fallout from GOP policies6:00 - Supply chain chaos and the real cost of tariffs10:00 - How GOP tax cuts hurt working Americans14:00 - Why young voters are frustrated with Democrats18:00 - The minimum wage fight and Democratic messaging flaws22:00 - Trump’s distraction tactics and the Alcatraz stunt26:00 - Does the president follow the law anymore?30:00 - Supreme Court immunity and collapsing norms35:00 - Meme coins, bribery, and Trump’s billionaire grift40:00 - Pardons for insurrectionists and real January 6 stories44:00 - The case for bold Democratic leadership48:00 - Baseball, hometown pride, and the Congressional game52:00 - Practicing at Nationals Park and representing your districtThank you for tuning into the ‘Who Dem?’ Podcast!
