Trump Told Voters to Pretend He's on the Ballot. So I Did.

President Trump keeps telling rally crowds to pretend he's on the ballot this midterm. So I'm taking him up on it, starting with American manufacturing.

In this episode, I go through the numbers since Inauguration Day: blue-collar wages up nearly 8% and 72,000 manufacturing jobs added in 2026. Then the specifics, from $1.3 billion for fertilizer plants in Nebraska to Stellantis reopening its Belvidere plant and GM, Toyota, and Ford moving production back from Mexico and China. I also get into why Democrats have put Trump front and center on their own ballots.
