After SCOTUS Loss, Trump’s Strategy May Be Destroying GOP Election Hopes 2/23/26

Episode Description

A major Supreme Court ruling reshapes the legal landscape around Trump’s sweeping tariffs — but the real story may be what happens next. Instead of stepping back, Trump appears poised to double down, raising new questions about prices, trade strategy, and whether Republicans could face political blowback as affordability remains a top concern for voters. We break down what the ruling actually means, how Trump’s response could redefine the economic fight heading into the midterms, and why some strategists warn the fallout may extend far beyond trade policy.
Gary Dietrich, iHeart TV and radio political analyst, will stop by to talk Trump, tariffs and politics. 
Author and investigative journalist Sarah Kendzior will share her thoughts on trade and the latest Epstein File fallout.
