Summary

Donald Trump is calling it Liberation Day—but for the economy, it might be more like Detonation Day. Today, he’s rolling out sweeping new tariffs, and economists, business leaders, and everyday Americans are bracing for impact. Will this move tank the stock market? Spark a trade war? Or trigger the kind of economic chaos that hits wallets nationwide? Don goes live to break down what these tariffs mean, who gets hurt, and whether this is strategy—or just more political spectacle with real-world consequences. Join us, Lemon Nation. The stakes just got higher. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
