Episode notes

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the latest chaos surrounding Donald Trump as markets continue to crash due to his tariffs with the S&P 500 officially hits correction territory—while Trump administration officials bizarrely calls it the “best 50 days ever.” We dive into Trump’s unhinged meeting with a NATO leader, where he threatened to again annex Greenland and Canada. Meanwhile, the EU and Canada are pushing back hard against Trump’s escalating threats. Plus, Trump is walking back some of his biggest initiatives. And Schumer caves on the House GOP Continuing Resolution. Ben and Brett break down all this and more.
