HOT TOPICS | Trump's Tariff Loss & Racist Refugee Policies - May 13th, 2025

Don is back! And so is the news circus we call America. First up, Trump’s tariff “win” with China, which is actually a massive walk-back after the economy started gasping for air. He created the crisis, hit pause, and now wants a trophy for it. Spoiler: we’re not buying it. Then there’s the refugee situation. White South African farmers are being welcomed with open arms, while refugees from Black and brown countries are being rounded up, deported, and tossed into mass detention centers without due process. So much for "equal treatment under the law." Don breaks it all down, the spin, the racism, and the chaos you deserve to understand without the nonsense. Glad to be back.
