This week, Rick and I break down the chaos in Trumpworld and beyond:

Serious Headlines

  • Trump’s tariffs ruled illegal — then reinstated by an appeals court.
  • Trump claims he lowered China tariffs to protect them from civil unrest.
  • Steel tariffs are set to double, prompting fears of a trade war rerun.
  • “TACO” — Trump Always Chickens Out — goes viral (and he’s not thrilled).
  • Lobbyists reportedly charging for help securing Trump pardons.
  • Trump cancels a $766 million Moderna bird flu vaccine grant — during an actual bird flu outbreak.
  • The MAHA report cites studies that don’t exist (including one that links to a dog food site).
  • The State Department considers an “Office of Remigration” — a term borrowed from European far-right parties.
  • PBS sues the Trump administration, just days after NPR did the same

Weird and Funny Stuff

  • Trump retweets a conspiracy theory that Biden died in 2020 and was replaced by a robot.
  • Elon Musk allegedly did so much ketamine while advising Trump that it affected his bladder.
  • A newspaper publishes an AI-generated summer reading list with fake books
  • Senator Joni Ernst, asked about Medicaid cuts, says: “Well, we’re all going to die.”
