Transcript:
We’re going to talk about some economic warning signs today that there are a lot of people in Washington pretending not to see, and Americans are falling behind on credit cards. Americans are falling behind on car loans, student loans, even starting to see it in mortgages. And this is a real problem.
Then things get weird. Trump went to China, was totally humiliated by President Xi, reduced to a sputtering mess, and then talked about how great Chinese food is in the United States. We are in the middle of a potential conflict between the US and China over Taiwan and Trump’s talking about Chinese food.
And we are going to also look at JD Vance desperately attempting to clean up Donald Trump’s comments about Iran and the American financial situation, and then a bizarre report of an “if I die” letter that Donald Trump reportedly left for JD Vance in the Oval Office before his current trip to China.
And finally, Barack Obama, that guy, reminding everybody why Donald Trump is so triggered by him. All of that and so much more today.
Don’t miss the full show with these stories and others, plus all of our analysis.
