"For Trump, the appeal of the tariffs was not just his primitive, mercantilist view of international economics. He loved the [tariffs for their role in expanding executive power]."
David Frum examines Trump's reaction to a Supreme Court tariff defeat, arguing the core issue extends beyond economics to presidential power consolidation. Tim Miller discusses ICE enforcement observations in Minneapolis and generational cynicism toward resistance politics among younger Americans. The conversation explores whether Never Trump conservatives maintain their foundational values or must evolve to effectively oppose Trump. Frum also reconsiders the State of the Union address tradition, questioning its relevance and necessity in the contemporary political landscape, particularly during the Trump era.
