Summary

Confused about the economy? You’re not alone. Between Trump’s tariff bombshell, a stock market in freefall, and zero clarity from the administration, it’s starting to feel like nobody—including the people in charge—knows what’s going on. One thing is clear: people are pissed. From this weekend’s “Hands Off” protests to MAGA voters openly questioning their choices, the backlash is real—and growing. Don goes live to break down the economic confusion, the political fallout, and why this mess is starting to unite people in one shared emotion: pure frustration.
