Is Trump Becoming a Socialist? (ft. David Bahnsen)

On this episode of CrossPolitic One-on-One, host Gabe welcomes on David Bahnsen from the Bahnsen Group to talk about the issue of Trump's recent economic policies and why they mirror progressive Democratic positions like those of Mayor Eric Adams and Elizabeth Warren.

ABOUT CROSSPOLITIC CrossPolitic exists to put Jesus over Politics and reclaim the public square through bold, joyful, biblically grounded media. We confront the chaos discipling America and build the next generation of Christian media infrastructure. Our mission is simple: all of Christ for all of media for all of America. Mainstream media is collapsing, and too many leaders try to fix national problems with man-centered control instead of truth, justice, and freedom under God. CrossPolitic aims to train Christians to think clearly, speak honestly, and apply Scripture to every square inch of life—without caving to the spirit of the age or the temptations of power.
