The economy

As Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House in one month, some economic signals are blinking yellow. Investors unsettled by the Fed's forecast for fewer cuts in 2025 pushed the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 1,123 points, or 2.6%, while the Nasdaq composite dropped 3.6%. The Dow has lost 2,900 points since December 4th. It’s a tale of two economies: consumer sentiment among Republican voters is at its highest since late 2020, whereas Democrats feel the same as they did in the summer of 2022 when inflation was raging. What are the prospects for a Trump economy during the next few years? Is DOGE real and, if so, will austerity prime the pump or tank the economy? The TMI Show’s Ted Rall and Manila Chan discuss the economic picture with market maker Todd “Bubba” Horwitz.

Donald Trump, who takes office in a matter of days, defeated Kamala Harris in large part because of voter dissatisfaction over the economy. But what will his economy look like? In many ways, this is a tale of two economies. The stock market, tech and the wealthy are doing better than ever. The working class and manufacturing are struggling. Can Trump reconcile his populist and billionaire bases? Can he keep inflation under control? Might he consider expanding the social safety net, especially for healthcare, or increase the minimum wage? What will he do as A.I. continues to kill jobs? “The TMI Show” tries to predict the state of the US economy in the coming year. Co-hosts Ted Rall and Manila Chan will be joined by Aquiles Larrea, CEO and Founder of Larrea Wealth Management.
