A Moment Of Clarity: Why Trump is Fighting the Pope While You Pay More at the Pump
About this episode
Michael Steele discusses the rising gas prices and inflation while analyzing Trump's distractions from economic issues.
Gas prices are surging to a national average of $4.09, inflation is climbing, and only 24% of Americans believe the costs of the war with Iran are actually worth it. Instead of economic solutions, President Donald Trump is leaning into distractions—from a "no tax on tips" policy that expires before he’d even leave office to a bizarre public feud with the Pope. Michael Steele cuts through the White House's mixed messages to show you the reality behind the rhetoric. Watch to find out why the administration is doubling down on comparisons to Jesus while everyday Americans feel the pinch at the pump.
