Trump's Trade Con (with Joey Politano)
from Neon Liberalism · host Liberal Currents
On April 2, 2025, Donald Trump announced "Liberation Day" tariffs which, according to him, would fix the trade deficit and bring American manufacturing roaring back. One year on, Samantha and economic analyst Joey Politano dig in to what actually happened. Manufacturing is down, the deficit is barely changed, fake "deals" have been signed--and, according to Joey, the heads of many of America's largest and most influential corporations have exposed themselves to criminal liability for bribes, corruption, and insider trading. Join us as we explain the tariff chaos, why it didn't cause an economic apocalypse, and what is really going on behind the scenes.
