Trump backpedals as bad economic math triggers widespread outrage
12 Nov 2025
Jen Psaki reacts to the collapse of Democratic resistance in the shutdown fight and the fact that no Democratic Senate candidates support the deal, while Republicans remain in abject disarray. The angry reaction to the Trump administration's poorly conceived economic ideas, including a 50-year mortgage that is seen as a gift to big banks, has Donald Trump scrambling even with his own base. Stephanie Ruhle joins Jen Psaki to talk about why the Trump administration's ideas are impractical.Jen Psaki explains how Republican theatrics over being included in federal investigations of Donald Trump's effort to subvert his 2020 election loss has led to the inclusion of a retroactive legal provision in the new spending bill.
