Trump Makes Everything Worse as His Plans Continue to Backfire
Summary
The episode critiques Donald Trump’s controversial oil deal with Venezuela, labeling it a fraudulent scheme that fails to address supply shocks from the closed Strait of Hormuz. It highlights bipartisan backlash, including Senator Susan Collins’ letter regarding trade wars with Canada and Trump’s erratic “Lake America” posts. The host also condemns Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar for reversing her opposition to the deal and explains how refinery costs, not crude prices, are driving up consumer fuel costs.
