Life is pretty expensive right now – and Americans are not happy about it. Trump came into office claiming he would lower prices, QUOTE, “on day 1.” But that didn’t happen – and his own policies are partially to blame. To talk more about the economy, inflation, and what we can do when our lives feel way too expensive, we spoke with Stacey Vanek Smith. She’s a reporter for Bloomberg Businessweek and co-host of the Bloomberg podcast, Everybody’s Business. And in headlines, Trump says Chinese President Xi Jinping offered his help in making a deal to end the Iran war, FBI Director Kash Patel allegedly went snorkeling on his “not vacation” in Hawaii, and did the Supreme Court just become a feminist?

  • It's Friday, May 15th.

  • I'm Jane Koston, and this is What-A-Day, the show that says if you ordered a Trump phone last year,

  • it turns out you might be getting it.

  • Soon.

  • Maybe.

  • Because, you know, counting on a Trump family promise when you've already paid the money seems like a bad idea.

  • On today's show, FBI Director Kash Patel allegedly went snorkeling on his not-vacation in Hawaii.

  • And did the Supreme Court just become a feminist?

  • But let's start with the economy.

  • If you're someone who, say, buys things.

  • You may have noticed that life is pretty expensive right now, and Americans are not happy about it.

  • A CNN poll this week found that 70% of Americans oppose President Donald Trump's handling of the economy.

  • And 77%, 77% think that his policies have increased the cost of living.

  • Not that Trump cares very much, exactly.

  • Here he is Tuesday before boarding Marine One on his way to China.

  • The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon.

  • I don't think about American financial situation.

  • I, for one, am not surprised.

  • Trump came into office claiming he would lower prices, quote, on day one.

  • But that didn't happen, and his own policies are partially to blame.
