Maggie hosts economist Gbenga Ajilore to dissect the Trump administration's economic strategies, revealing a chaotic blend of tariffs and austerity measures that favor billionaires over working families. They highlight the USDA's refusal to use contingency funds for SNAP benefits, exacerbating economic inequalities. As Trump tours Asia, potential trade deals with China hang in the balance, with little optimism due to previous erratic policies. Meanwhile, rising tariffs threaten holiday prices, and the Fed contemplates interest rate cuts amidst inflation concerns.
