Is a $12 billion farmer bailout the ultimate admission that Trump's tariffs are hurting the working class more than helping? On this probing episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, host Tara Palmeri sits down with Batya Ungar-Sargon, NewsNation host and author of books on class consciousness, for a no-holds-barred debate on Trump's economic policies.
