Economist Justin Wolfers joins Charlie Sykes to unpack the economic whiplash of Donald Trump’s on-again, off-again trade wars, explaining why the president's tariff policies are more than just political theater—they’re rewriting the rules of international trade. In a lively, metaphor-rich conversation, they explore the constitutional implications of executive overreach, the fragility of global trust, and why bad policy still sticks even after walk-backs. Also on the menu: toxic masculinity, burrito economics, and why we might all be cheering for the churro.
