What can we learn from Trump's speech, the Democratc response, and the ongoing tariff and Ukraine meltdown? If you ignore Trump yelling about volleyball and transgender mice (they're not, check the show notes) a few things are clear.
First, the tariffs may be a week spot. Second, Senator Slotkin is right that Trump would have lost us the Cold War, and this may be effective messaging. Third, the Discourse Machine running joke about "West Russia" gets more true by the day.
