Manufacturing orders are down, stocks are down, and mortgage rates are up. But Trump and his family are wealthier than they've ever been. He's got his Ponzi-like crypto scheme, his meme coin, and a boatload of big money types showing up at Mar-a-Lago trying to curry favors from him for some cold, hard cash. Meanwhile, Trump is play-acting like he has a strong hand, but he's begging China to make a deal. Plus, the administration is defunding science and our world-renowned medical centers to buy crypto. And the Abrego Garcia kidnapping and imprisonment has touched a nerve in surprising ways.
Stephanie Ruhle joins Tim Miller.

If you think young men are polling bad now, wait until all these disgusting, piece of shit incel wah-nosphere "bros" find out they're getting drafted to go die in some idiotic fucking war Daddy Trump is going to start. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes! Too bad I'm just a weak, emotional woman and will be safe and sound at home, since I'm too delicate to fight wars and am just a fuckbot!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Steph Ruhle. Tremendous guest, so knowledgeable and good at explaining concepts. (But, Steph, tenet, not tenant.) Tim, it has hit me recently that Charlie Sykes gave the Bulwark to Val Girl speakers. Like, I mean, you know, like, right? (BTW, it is still Ver-sus, not Verse.) Sorry if grammar monitoring rubs you the wrong way, but, you know, like, I mean, Val Speak does like the same to me. Curious, tho, too. When you write, do you Val out and just count on copy editors to make your prose work?
