Did Trump Just Pass a $12 Billion Socialist Bailout

Is a $12 billion farmer bailout the ultimate admission that Trump's tariffs are hurting the working class more than helping?

On this probing episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, host Tara Palmeri sits down with Batya Ungar-Sargon, NewsNation host and author of books on class consciousness, for a no-holds-barred debate on Trump's economic policies. They dive into the recent $12 billion farmer aid package amid trade wars, whether tariffs represent revolutionary protectionism or socialism in disguise, the real impact of deportations on wages and prices, reshoring manufacturing dreams versus current job losses, and why affordability remains a pressure cooker despite wage growth outpacing inflation.

How much short-term economic pain from tariffs and deportations are Americans willing to accept for potential long-term working-class gains?
