More of the country is understanding that Donald Trump doesn’t know what he is doing and is making a mess of democracy and our government. The most recent polls are showing the increasing disapproval of his job. That is why Robert Reich titled his most recent op-ed “Ineptitude, incompetence, stupidity, and chaos” in reference to Trump’s presidency.

On Tuesday’s Halitics YouTube videocast, host Hal Ginsberg and I continue our weekly discussion about politics and other news. I bring up the topic of economic stagnation, a worldwide trend affecting conditions around the world. Economic historian Aaron Benanav posits deficit spending and economic redistribution as ways to change this harmful trend.

Hal and I also talk about the lack of concern among Americans about the rising civilian death toll in Gaza from merciless Israeli attacks. Another topic among many others was what course of actions could reverse the poor image of the Democratic Party.
