Trump MIA: 25th Amendment Calls, Economy in Crisis & Measles Return

Donald has disappeared from the public eye, while his team insists he’s “just fine.” But with Rep. Maxine Waters calling for the 25th Amendment, questions about his fitness for office are impossible to ignore. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy is in free fall, tourism is drying up, immigrant workers are fleeing, and — shockingly — measles is making a comeback after decades of decline.

In this episode of democracyish LIVE, we dig into:

  • Why Donald’s absence is sparking 25th Amendment talk
  • How a crumbling economy is hitting Americans hard
  • The tourism downturn and worker shortages
  • The alarming return of measles
