This week on Ring of Fire!
Donald Trump is putting his own reputation on the line with his latest defense and plea to help Elon Musk. After Tesla suffered major losses in the market early this week, Trump got on Truth Social to beg Republicans to help Elon in any way they can (probably by purchasing Tesla vehicles or stock,) and then he claimed that “The Left” is engaging in “illegal” boycotts of Musk’s products. Boycotts are in no way illegal, and Musk is suffering from his own arrogance.
Donald Trump appeared to suffer another mental breakdown on Tuesday morning as he announced that he would be implementing an additional 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum products coming from Canada, while then suggesting that the tariffs could be increased to as much as 50%. He THEN said that all of this would go away if Canada would just agree to become the 51st state of the United States, something that isn’t even possible.
Fox News is desperate to spin the stock market crash from Monday in any way they can, so they decided to tell America that this was actually a GOOD thing, with one host going as far as to say that he’s actually glad that this happened. There is no positive from this, and it isn’t just the market “correcting itself” – it was a massive crash caused by statements that Trump made over the weekend about a possible recession.
All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!
