Trump's Broken Promises: Wars, Tariffs and Assassinations | 10-12-26

Sam Bushman and Lowell Nelson unpack Trump's Columbus Day defense and why judging historical figures by today's standards is dishonest. Then they dig into David Pyne's warning that the GOP faces a midterm wipeout thanks to Trump's war on Iran, broken promises to drain the swamp, and betrayal of his anti-war base. Ron Paul's column exposes how Trump's tariffs act as an $800-per-household tax Americans never voted for, imposed without Congress. Plus, Jacob Hornberger documents 235 military killings on the high seas without due process, and Lawrence Vance asks what Marines actually fight for versus what they're told.
