Trump's Contradictory Crusade on Economy, AI, and His Own Party

Trump’s chaotic attempt to rebrand the economy as he mocks “affordability,” confuses inflation with deflation, and delivers a meandering Pennsylvania rally full of distortions. They examine how Americans view Trump’s economic record compared to the end of the Biden presidency and why his messaging isn’t matching voters’ lived experiences. Kander and Gupta also dig into Trump’s $12 billion farm bailout sparked by his own tariffs, and the criticism that foreign competitors—not American farmers—benefited most. They explore Trump’s push for a sweeping national AI rule to override state protections, as well as his surprising reversal on advanced chip exports to China. Plus, they look at Miami’s first Democratic mayor in decades, the GOP’s internal fight over Obamacare subsidies, and escalating MAGA infighting heading into 2026.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-truth--6487495/support.
