Maggie and economist Gbenga Ajilore dissect the chaotic state of U.S. economic policies under Trump, spotlighting the ill effects of his tariff tactics that diverge sharply from traditional Republican principles. Trump's surprise at Reagan's anti-tariff stance reveals a startling disconnect. Meanwhile, a Canadian ad during the World Series cleverly trolls Trump by invoking Reagan's words. The discussion pivots to the Federal Reserve's balancing act with interest rates amidst inflation concerns fueled by tariffs, as the administration's internal echo chamber leaves little room for dissent.
