Trump Spins as Economic Numbers Show Trouble, 5/1/25

The Trump team is getting inventive about playing off bad ecconomic numbers as good. It’s likely hard for Trump, who made promises to voters about his economic prowess, to admit that the US economy just had its worst quarter since 2022. Economists blame Trump’s significant policy changes for shaking up consumers and businesses. We welcome Ambassador Francis Rooney to The Mark Thompson Show. He served in Congress representing Florida’s 19th Congressional District and served as the U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See, under President George W. Bush. We’ll ask Ambassador Rooney what Trump’s American foreign policy should look like. Former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney, David Katz joins us. He will discuss the Supreme Court’s upcoming decision on whether religious schools can be funded with taxpayer dollars.
