Trump's battles with data, DC, and world trade

25 min • 8 augusti 2025

In the past week, President Donald Trump has imposed sweeping tariffs on dozens of countries – and made moves to suppress signs of a weakening economy. Today on the politics roundtable, host Colby Itkowitz speaks with White House reporter Emily Davies and senior national political correspondent Naftali Bendavid about how Trump’s recent economic moves are playing politically. They also cover his recent threats to take federal control of D.C., and the latest on how the Justice Department is pursuing investigations into Trump’s perceived political enemies.

Today’s show was produced by Arjun Singh. It was edited by Laura Benshoff and mixed by Sean Carter.
