23:01Now PlayingThe Court of History’s Sidney Blumenthal & Sean Wilentz discuss Sidney’s new column in The Guardian titled “The ghost of Ronald Reagan has spooked Trump over tariffs.” They explore how Donald Trump’s tariff campaign signals a revival of 1930s-style protectionism, a stark departure from Ronald Reagan’s free‐market legacy and the implications of this shift for the power of the Supreme Court of the United States and the separation of powers in America.
