Shiftheads - Why Trump’s Speech Sounded Like a Desperate Sales Pitch
Description
Donald Trump promised billions, misread numbers, and claimed victory — but what was really going on? Veteran broadcaster Rob Breakenridge joins Shane Hewitt to dissect a national address that felt less like policy and more like panic.
They explore the deeper implications: the emotional tone of a leader under pressure, what polling data reveals about voter sentiment, and how economic messaging can fall flat when it doesn’t match lived experience. All that, plus a festive detour into childhood Christmases, complete with Star Wars toys and the magic of being 10.
An episode that starts cozy, then zooms in on one of the most important political questions of the moment.
