Tom Friedman interview - interesting listen

[Anonymous]

I'm not usually a TF fan but this was a good listen: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-thomas-friedman.html

And my blood was boiling by the end of it. Imagine if instead of destroying America, Trump invested in America - in our industry, in our research, in our people. Like China is doing.

I saw a tweet yesterday that said if Trump was actually trying to ruin America it wouldn't look any different from what he's doing.

Assessment 100% Trump should be investing in our country vs destroying it

Trump and republicans are marxists. They have taken control of the economy and have stopped free markets.

I listened to this too and agree it was worthwhile.

Likewise, this daily podcast about the impact of tariffs on one small business: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/her-business-was-thriving-then-came-the-tariffs/id1200361736?i=1000703443731

Is that you Tom?

I think he periodically comes in here to post his own garbage takes. I don’t think there is any other pundit who has been so wrong so often.

NP and not Tom. I thought it was interesting. What do you disagree with?

Yes, trying to learn and be informed on all sides. What has he been wrong about? Articles, links, which helped you know this. Thank you!

Even a dummy like Tom Friedman can see through Trump.

Sadly one-third of this country is dumber.
