Friday Focus: A consequential election and serious warnings about Donald Trump
On this week’s Friday Focus, as we enter into the final stretch of one of the most consequential presidential elections in US history, Janice and Rudyard disregard the often inaccurate polls to make their own predictions about who will win on November 5th. Regardless of the revelations about his personal character, the state of inflation, immigration, and the economy is fueling his resilience in this race. How will the conflicts in Ukraine, Israel, and China – currently stalled due to the upcoming election – start heating up again post November 5th? And how will the winner – Harris or Trump – affect these geopolitical conflicts and the global economy? To wrap up today’s show Rudyard and Janice discuss the revelations being made by Trump’s former high-ranking officials John Kelley and Mark Milley about his embrace of fascism and why voters should take their warnings seriously.
