    The Illusion of Elon Musk’s Control Over America

    Chris Cuomo breaks down Elon Musk’s growing influence in U.S. government, questioning whether Musk’s role with the White House's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) amounts to an administrative coup. Cuomo unpacks the legal limits of Musk’s authority, debunks claims that he can dismantle agencies like USAID or the Department of Education, and explores how Musk’s control over X amplifies his personal agenda. He also examines the shifting dynamic between Musk and Trump, why their alliance may be unstable, and what Musk’s track record with Twitter reveals about his claims to government efficiency.

    How Trump’s Tariffs Could Backfire on America

    Chris Cuomo breaks down the truth about Trump’s tariff plan, explaining why it’s misleading economic policy that could fuel inflation rather than help American workers. He dives into how tariffs really work, the impact they’ve had in the past, and why targeting China, Mexico, and Canada could backfire on U.S. businesses and consumers. From Smoot-Hawley’s economic disaster to China’s retaliatory tariffs, Cuomo challenges the myths surrounding Trump’s trade rhetoric and explains why tariffs are often more about politics than economic success.
