In this episode of The David Frum Show, David discusses how the
Trump administration is in for a stark reality check due to its
trade policies. David also debunks the claims of a painless
economic transition promised by President Donald Trump and makes
the point that the administration is not only bluffing and
mismanaging fiscal and trade policies, but also misleading the
public with promises of easy success. Then David is joined by the
premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, to discuss Canadian reactions to the
sudden economic and rhetorical attacks from their once-trusted
American neighbors. After the interview, David answers listener
questions about the Trump base, the media techniques of fascists,
and the hidden gift of Trumpism. Get more from your favorite
