Full Episode
Yes, Wall Street and the financiers are turning against Donald Trump with another week of economic chaos, market volatility, the dollar crashing, the bond market imploding, treasury yields going to some of the highest levels in a very long period of time, consumer confidence at the lowest levels in about 45 years, but In turning against Donald Trump, we're now trying to throw him under the bus.
These Wall Street execs, these hedge funders, they're also kind of telling on themselves, aren't they? Because weren't these the same people who teamed up with corporate media when former President Biden was in charge? And we got headlines like this. Forecast for U.S. recession within the year hits 100% in blow to Biden.
A 100% projection of a recession that never happened under former President Biden. How about headlines like this? Why a U.S. recession is still likely and coming soon. This was from Bloomberg. The government is staying open for now, but Bloomberg Economics sees risks ahead from strikes to higher rates and oil prices. There was no recession under former President Biden.
How about this headline from the New York Times back in January 2024? The U.S. seems to be dodging a recession, but what could still go wrong? Economists have become increasingly optimistic about the odds of a soft landing. But as 2024 begins to unfold, the risks remain.
Now, what do you think those same corporate media headlines and economists and hedge funders, what were their projections of recession under Donald Trump? Let me take a look at it right here. This from Business Insider, and I could show you half a dozen more, but you get the point. The probability of a U.S. recession in 2025 is 0%, according to a top economist.
But here's what to worry about instead. Nothing about a recession. So where are we now? Well, You have JP Morgan believing that there's about a 60% recession call despite Trump's 90-day tariff pause, which is not really a tariff pause. He's basically just moved the effective rate of tariffs from 27% to 25%.
And now you have people like BlackRock CEO Larry Fink saying, we're probably already in a recession right now. And you've got people like Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan, who previously said, suck it up when it comes to a little bit of inflation, saying Donald Trump's inflationary measures are likely to cause a recession.
You know, we come with receipts here at the Midas Touch Network, so let's bring those receipts one by one and let me make the case for you. First, I'm going to show you, of course, that all of these hedge funders and private equity people and Wall Streeters are turning against Trump, but I also want to call them out because they're doing it for self-preservation right now.
This from The Independent. Fund managers quietly fear Trump doesn't have a tariff plan and that he might be insane. Some fund managers concern that the White House is not acting rationally, but rather on ideology. And some even fear this may not even be ideology, that it's just his utter insanity causing this all. How about this headline from The Wall Street Journal? Wall Street sounds an alarm.
