TMI Show Ep 92: "Trump’s Rust Belt Revival and Shipbuilding Boost"

In this episode of The TMI Show, host Ted Rall is joined by guest co-host Robby West, stepping in for the vacationing Manila Chan. They tackle President Trump’s bold pledges to reindustrialize the Rust Belt and revive the U.S. shipbuilding industry. The discussion explores Trump’s economic strategy, which aims to boost manufacturing and create jobs in the Rust Belt by revitalizing its industrial base, as outlined in a recent analysis of his top advisor’s hearing. They also dive into Trump’s plan to resurrect American shipyards through targeted tax incentives, a move intended to breathe new life into a declining sector. Ted and Robby dissect the practicality of these promises, balancing optimism with skepticism over historical setbacks, logistical hurdles, and global competition. With Ted’s incisive commentary and Robby’s dynamic input, the episode offers a candid, unfiltered look at Trump’s industrial ambitions.
