The Intersection with Michael Popok

It looks like the Trump Tariffs are going down in flames, as most of the 11 judges of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals today acted skeptical that Trump has the powers to impose tariffs at all! Popok breaks down what happened today at the oral argument, and what the Supreme Court is likely to do with the issue on a future emergency appeal by Trump.

Trump's efforts to coerce Brazil in to dismissing criminal coup charges against its former president and best buddy of Trump Bolsonaro by imposing a 50% tariff on Brazil and sanctioning a Supreme Court Justice has already backfired, as the world unites against Trump's attacks on an ally. Popok reports.

Trump's threats to steamroll the Senate to get his unpopular MAGA judge and US Attorney picks through has hit a 91 year old speedbump: Senator Chuck Grassley who is against changing the Senate rules to help Trump, and to give Trump a Congressional "recess" to just appoint who he pleases. Popok explains it all on his latest hot take.

The Federal Reserve Chairman just led a 9-2 vote to not cut the interest rates as Trump demanded, and that's a great thing for the US Economy that is being managed solely by the Federal Reserve at this point, as Trump abandons all rational economic thought. Popok uses his Wall Street Super Powers to explain who dissented (Trumpers), and why this middle finger from the Fed to Trump is so important at this critical point in his Administration.

New questions are being asked about the ethical implications of the close relationship of Trump's criminal defense lawyer Todd Blanche who masquerades as the #2 official in the DOJ, and Ghislaine Maxwell's defense lawyer David Oscar Markus, including new video evidence of how friendly they really are. Popok examines how the relationship between Blanche and Markus and Markus relationship with former Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz who was accused of sex misconduct at one time as well, plays in the stench that hangs over this Trump led coverup.

It's hard to believe that Trump could make the Epstein Scandal and his involvement in in worse, but he just inadvertently confessed to knowing that Epstein "stole" young "girls" that worked for Trump at Mar a Lago including Virginia Giuffre, that were sexually abused by Epstein, and that is the reason for their alleged falling out -- that Trump didn't like that Epstein stole "young girls" from Trump! Popok ties it all together on this latest hot take.

Forget Trump's phony victory lap about his tariff "deal" with the EU to pump "$1 billion dollars" in to the US Economy. Never happening, and the EU just robbed Trump blind, with a NON-BINDING unenforceable deal that cannot compel private businesses to make any of the investments the EU 'committed' to in return for a much lower tariff rate. Popok looks closely at the details, and explains how the EU got a REAL tariff rate reduction in return for an impossible, unattainable unenforceable so imaginary commitment to try to invest more in the US!

Join Popok at the Intersection where he takes your questions, doesn’t pull any punches and is completely uncensored. Tonight, along with audience questions, he briefs the audience on: 1) late breaking Epstein news, including Trump’s admission that he knew that Epstein was using Mar a Lago as a hunting ground for his pedophile ring; 2) the corrupt members of the DOJ running into trouble keeping their US Attorney position (Habba) or their appellate court nomination (Bove); 3) an additional layer of grimey grift by Trump as he not only waits to receive his $400 million dollar Qatari plane/bribe, but uses tax payer dollars to turn his Trump Organization Golf Course celebration in Scotland into an “official” public event; 4) the truth behind the non-binding, unenforceable completely impossible to accomplish EU tariff non-deal, deal, and how this shows how unmoored from reality Trump and his cabinet are about what matters to the American people, and so much more at the Intersection.
