Trump’s Terrible Tariffs with Rachel Bitecofer

Trump’s Terrible Tariffs with Rachel Bitecofer

Erich McElroy's American Exchange · 2025-04-08

US expat Erich McElroy reaches back across the pond to find out what is happening in America - this week Erich welcomes back to the podcast Democratic political and branding strategist Rachel Bitecofer.

They discuss the state of play in the shadow of Trump’s tariff disaster and how this is the opening that Democrats need to hammer Trump and MAGA for ruining the American economy - which was doing pretty darn good under Biden. They also discuss how Musk is deeply unpopular and how he is a drag on Trump and how the Democrats need to be on the attack.

Rachel’s Book ‘Hit ‘em Where it Hurts’ is still a must read, along with her Substack ‘The Cycle’ and her new podcast ‘This is America’.
