Big Talk, Bigger Backtrack: Trump's Foreign Policy Promises vs. Reality | 04-01-26

Sam Bushman and James Edwards break down the growing gap between Trump's bold rhetoric and his actions — from rising gas prices and the war with Iran to the fight over NPR funding and a 47-story presidential library. Plus, a surprise visit from a tiny Easter Bunny, an April Fools prank, and the return of those "I Did That" stickers — this time on fast food menus.
