Episode 774: Kellyanne Gets Younger Replacement; Does Trump Understand Tarrifs?

Ring of Fire Radio with Farron Cousins

This week on Ring of Fire!

Donald Trump has finally announced where his failed attorney Alina Habba is going to land in his new administration, and she will be serving as the new Counselor to the President. This position was previously held by Kellyanne Conway, meaning that Habba has officially become the new Kellyanne. Her job, just like Conway’s, will be to give Trump advice but most importantly to go out and do interviews about how awesome he is.

During his interview with Meet The Press on Sunday, Donald Trump served up an incomprehensible word salad where he appeared to imply that he invented the word “groceries.” He was asked about prices and inflation, and instead of giving a coherent answer, he went on a long rant about “groceries” and then pivoted to how amazing tariffs are – but he still wouldn’t say that consumers will NOT pay higher prices under his policies.

All hell broke loose during a recent city council meeting in the small town of Middleton, Ohio, when JD Vance’s mother demanded that the city honor her son and recognize the “role” that he played in Donald Trump’s reelection. The city plans to honor him, but they don’t want to rush to any conclusions just yet because he hasn’t even been sworn in. This is now the second time in as many weeks that a Republican had his mommy go out and advocate on his behalf.

All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!
