Trump WALKS into ULTIMATE TRAP with CRISIS of His OWN MAKING - Meidas Touch



Ken Harbaugh argues that the American middle class was built not by billionaires but by the labor movement — and that the current Trumpian crisis could be the catalyst for transformative, systemic change.

He speaks with Harvard-trained UT Austin bankruptcy law professor Mechele Dickerson, whose New York Times bestselling book The Middle-Class New Deal makes the case for a wholesale reordering of America's economic life. - 06/16/2026.

What a pleasant interview with Ken Harbaugh, a former U.S. Navy pilot and nonprofit executive, speaking with Harvard-trained UT Austin bankruptcy law professor A. Mechele Dickerson.

Easy listening, without the hard sell, and an enjoyable video as well.

Thank you Rhiannon (of 260, 482 DU postings).

Where are these people going? Into the super wealthy column or the poor & homeless column?
I'm betting on the latter.
