Mon Episode #1,943: Trump's Policy Groundhog Day, Musk's Power Play & The Hidden Tax Game

Trump's Tariff Tsunami (00:02:28 - 00:56:25): A takedown of Trump's tariff strategy, painting his presidency as a never-ending loop of "Groundhog Day," where policy innovation is as elusive as a shadow on a cloudy day.

• Trade Wars on Multiple Fronts: Trump is reigniting trade wars, focusing on Canada, Mexico, and China with hefty tariffs, ignoring his own USMCA treaty.
• Trump ignores USMCA Treaty he boasted about (I don’t like it but Senate ratified it) and still pretends we’re in Paris Climate Treaty (which was NEVER voted on, not ratified)
• Historical Folly: Reflecting on the 2018 tariffs, which led to a decline in U.S. exports, increased trade deficits, and job losses, this move seems like a repeat of past economic blunders.
• False Pretenses: Trump's justification involves a supposed fentanyl & immigration crisis from Canada, which is statistically insignificant, suggesting the tariffs are more about power than policy.
• Sector-Specific Damage: Some examples from industries like auto manufacturing and paddling sports are bracing for impact, with complex supply chains across borders facing multiple tariff hits, escalating costs.
• Consumer Pain: Like Biden, Trump doesn’t care about negative consequences to push an agenda.

Trump’s Taj Mahal Tariffs (00:58:16 - 01:21:50): Lambasting Trump's tariff strategy as a risky gamble, comparing it to playing high-stakes blackjack in a casino that's already bankrupt. It warns of potential market crashes, hinting that these tariffs might be less about economic strategy and more about sneaking in "hidden taxes."

 
Trump’s Attack Against Free Speech and Free Press (01:23:33 - 01:55:22): Trump's manipulation of the FCC to retaliate against CBS for an interview he didn’t like, a "bully" whose actions threaten press freedom, authoritarian actions where media must kowtow to the ruling power

. 
Musk’s Moves as He Takes Over Agencies. (01:56:49 - 02:20:31): A dramatic "hostile takeover," sparking curiosity about what such a move could uncover or change

 
Zelensky says He Lost $100 BILLION — Doesn’t Know Where the Money Went  (02:21:36 - 02:45:25): Warns Trump not to talk to Putin What does Trump want in Panama?  Looking at the lies about China in Panama and “national security” interests in Greenland.

 
Transgender Policies Win (02:47:16 and the end of the show): — But Why Do We Wait for a President to do what WE THE PEOPLE should’ve done? A stark example of a French gynecologist's suspension and criminal charges for refusing to treat a “trans woman” as if he were a “real woman”.
