In this episode, we unpack the economic and geopolitical mess left in the wake of Trump’s tariffs—who actually paid, who pretended they didn’t, and what it means going forward. We also dive into rising tensions with Iran, Trump’s social media strike on the Houthis (because who needs Congress when you’ve got Twitter), and the tragic, bizarre controversy around the Epstein victim who gave herself just four days to live. Meanwhile, as the world inches closer to chaos, Trump is playing golf like it's a Sunday in 2017. It’s America 2025, and the hits just keep on coming.
