In this midweek update, Susan Kokinda describes how Donald Trump’s biggest challenge isn’t external forces like the Democrats or the media, but an entrenched ideology within the Republican Party. She argues that the blind faith in free-market economics has roots going back to the American Revolution and has hindered Trump's economic agenda. Highlighting Trump's shift toward policies that emphasize American manufacturing and skilled labor, Kokinda critiques traditional economic dogmas and calls for a return to the ‘American System’ of economic theory. She explores Trump's unconventional strategies on domestic and foreign policy fronts, including his approach to Russia and the Golden Dome Defense program. The episode underscores the need for a new Republican Party that aligns with Trump's vision, moving away from the old market fundamentalism towards fostering genuine economic growth and national strength.
