Episode 789: Trump Tariff Turmoil; Russia Wants to Honor Trump; Elon v Navarro

This week on Ring of Fire!


Donald Trump proudly proclaimed victory this week as the stock
market continued to nosedive. Trump claimed on Truth Social that
everything was going great and that prices for consumers were all
dropping, which is the complete opposite of what’s actually
happening across the country. It is obvious that he is attempting
to do damage control, but it isn’t working.


The Trump administration has maintained that the people they’ve
deported to the El Salvadorian prison were all violent criminals
that were so dangerous that they had to be sent away immediately.
But a 60 Minutes investigation found that at least 75% of the
people deported have NO criminal records, completely blowing up
the talking points of the administration.


Russian state media is laughing at the United States after Donald
Trump tanked the economy and destroyed global trust in the US’
economic system. In fact, they went as far as to say that there
should be statues built of Trump for the damage that he’s done to
our country. This is a country that clearly hates us and thinks
Trump is a fool, but that hasn’t stopped Trump from giving them
everything they’ve ever wanted.


And Elon Musk is continuing to escalate his feud with top Trump
trade adviser Peter Navarro, saying that he is a “moron” who is
“dumber than a sack of bricks.” Elon also called out Navarro for
inventing a fictional “expert” to justify his obsession with
tariffs. Musk isn’t wrong about those parts, but he’s also being
dishonest with people about the true nature of Tesla vehicles and
the impact of the tariffs on his businesses.
