How is Donald Trump's economic policy affecting consumer confidence?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
As Donald Trump continues to wreck the economy and consumer confidence is almost as bad as it ever was in recent modern history, the University of Michigan survey shows the worst consumer sentiment since 2022. Also, the inflation expectations, the worst since 1993. What's Donald Trump talking about? tariffing champagne in response to his tariffs. He's saying to all the champagne businesses in the US, because there's all those champagne businesses in the US. I'm not sure Donald Trump realizes where champagne is actually made. He's going to be the protector of champagne because Europe's put on retaliatory tariffs, because Trump arbitrarily and unilaterally put on tariffs against Europe for stealing aluminum into the rest of the world.

What else is Donald Trump talking about in addition to to champagne? Because as people's 401ks and pensions are being destroyed, Donald Trump's top official at the DOJ is Attorney General Pam Bondi had an important message that she and the Trump administration will be doing everything possible to protect Tesla's. Play this clip.
Pam Bondi 1:08
We have people who are locking up on that. We have someone in jail right now from one of the dealerships. They threw a Molotov cocktail through a dealership. They're looking at up to 20 years in prison. So if you're going to touch a Tesla, go to a dealership, do anything, you better watch out because we're coming after you. And if you're funding this, we're coming after you. We're going to find out who you are.
Ben Meiselas 1:30
I mean, these are decisions that they're making to go out and say these things. Let's bring in Democratic Congressman Jared Moskowitz. Congressmember Moskowitz, what do you make of just this moment? What are you hearing from your constituents right now?
Jared Moskowitz 1:43
I'm hearing they're getting everything that they voted for. They specifically voted for this tariff on champagne. They had enough of big champagne taking advantage of them and are happy finally as my dog is digging in the background. His name is Obi. He's a sheepadoodle. He's wearing a tie. He's ready for Congress. Obi, you're ruining the podcast here. Sit down. Are we done? I think we're done. He's excited. He's excited. He got into the champagne, actually. That's what happened. No, so here we go, right? Donald Trump. Okay, what is he talking about? Champagne. It's what people voted for, right? They wanted him to go after big champagne. They're tired of being taken advantage of. Look, this is, it's total chaos. I mean, it's just chaos. You know, everyone's like, oh, what's the Democratic bumper sticker? It should just be chaos.
Jared Moskowitz 2:43
There's no better word to describe than what's happening right now that Trump is doing. You know, Trump said in January of 2024, in the lead up to his election, that it's the Trump stock market. As the market was increasing, he took credit for it. Well, guess what, buddy? In March of 2025, it's your stock market also. And things are not going well. We're down like 4,000 points. Can you imagine for a second as we sit here, just take a step back, If the market had gone down 4000 points in two weeks and Joe Biden was president, I mean, they would be literally trying to impeach him. OK, what we actually need right now, speaking of Joe Biden for a second, you know, for all the claims about Joe Biden, it would be nice if Trump actually went to the basement.
Jared Moskowitz 3:29
Like if there is a basement, right, if that was true, we need Trump to go there, like take like a week off because it's just it's too much. He, you know, with the tariffs, he's just tariffing everyone, which, by the way, don't listen to me. Listen to, you know, Senator Mullen, who says a tariff is a tax. He was a business owner. Tariffs are taxes. You know, and then as far as Pam Bondi is concerned, you know, we don't don't touch a Tesla. Why is the Epstein files in the Tesla? I mean, look, we obviously don't want violence. You know, we shouldn't be seeing violence. But why? I mean, what's so important about a Tesla that's different from another car? Maybe the Epstein files that you can't find are in that Tesla.
