About this episode
Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the growing fears of a recession as Trump’s first 100 days in office coincide with the U.S. economy contracting for the first time in years. They analyze the Commerce Department’s latest report showing a 0.3% drop in GDP, the role Trump’s tariff threats played in driving up imports, and why consumer spending is slowing. Kander and Gupta also discuss Fox News contributor Jessica Tarlov’s viral moment, Trump’s muddled messaging on the economy, and the chaotic Amazon tariff talks. Plus, they dissect Trump’s bizarre interview on immigration, tourism, and Putin, and unpack how a tweet from Trump about annexing Canada after Trudeau’s resignation fueled a political shift north of the border.
