Summary

This morning, we break down the staggering wealth on display in and around the Trump administration, and the growing disconnect between those at the top and everyone else. While many Americans are dealing with rising costs and economic uncertainty, Donald Trump’s finances, and the benefits flowing to those in his orbit, are under increasing scrutiny. At the same time, the ultra-elite are gathering for events like the Met Gala, sponsored by Jeff Bezos, in a moment that feels… a little out of touch. So who’s actually benefiting right now, and what does it say about where things are headed? This episode is brought to you by Aura Frames.
