Larry Kudlow, Trump's former head of his National Economic Council in his first term, blasted Sen.Tommy Tuberville over the terrible economic polling numbers while exclaiming the GOP is doing nothing. His beef? There is an economic boom going on and nobody knows about it. Kudlow was one of Trump's minions that claimed the COVID pandemic was mostly contained in early 2020 -- a vicious lie. Kudlow introduced Tommy, then scolded the Senator over the many shortcomings of the GOP. Tuberville agreed. Kudlow, once a supporter of Trump's illegal tariffs, now says they were unnecessary and are hurting the country. Still, he was flummoxed that nobody knows there's an economic boom going on. KUDLOW: All right? Is the economy today getting worse or better? 56% worse, 37% better. That's a 20-point deficit, sir. Those are bad numbers. And with all due respect to the Alabama farmers, who are probably suffering because of unnecessary tariffs , the fact remains, I don't think people want more farm aid.
