Trump Tariffs... chaos, or a cunning plan?

Join Americast for insights and analysis on what's happening inside Trump's White House.

Everything has changed…again! Or has it? The team assemble after President Trump scrapped his tariff plans (for 90 days at least) and reverted for a 10% levy across the board. Except for China, that is, who now face a rate of 125%.

So what is really going on? The Democrats are crying market manipulation, the markets remain chaotic, and MAGA Republicans are saying the country should trust the president. We try to separate the fact from fiction.

Plus the search for the youngest, and oldest, Americasters continue.
