Summary

Watch Politics War Room & James Carville Explains on YouTube @PoliticsWarRoomOfficial

James and Al unload on the Trump administration’s discriminatory practices and its war on education before welcoming the founder of the global investment bank Evercore, Roger Altman.  They discuss the intricacies of our relationship with China and the E.U., how tariffs and trade wars can upset the international order, and the effects that the friction they create will have on our economy.  During their analysis, they look at the future of consumer sentiment, the long-term stability of our position as the leader of the global economy, and the risk of declining growth.
