TACO, TDS, and the Fed – 01.30.26

About this episode

The episode discusses polling discrepancies regarding Trump, the concepts of TACO and TDS, the impact of the Minneapolis crisis on the 2026 midterms, and challenges facing the Federal Reserve.

Why do some pollsters have Trump ad 45%-46% approval and others at 35%-37% approval? Let’s break down the science and art of why you see those fluctuations and what you should know about them. Next let’s talk about TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) and TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) – do they really exist or are they products of social media? Does the crisis in Minneapolis have a meaningful impact on 2026 midterms already and should that concern President Trump? Finally let’s talk about the Fed and the challenges the new chair will have to face like rising national debt. As always, thanks for tuning in. Be sure to like and subscribe and we’ll see you next week.
