Summary

This is a preview of the Patron-only Weekender episode. To gain full access to these episodes, as well as special post-event and live recordings, and to keep the show editorially independent and ad-free, head over to Patreon and become a subscriber today. Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman try to figure out what the hell Donald Trump is trying to do with the tariffs and the economy and the answer is: enrich himself. However, with growing unrest about the markets, there might be a moment of clarity amongst Republicans. If things couldn't get worse, they turn to our immigration policies and they continue to follow the authoritarian playbook. Oh yeah, Trump is also dismantling the IRS for the upper class and Social Security for everyone else.
