Are investors missing the most important macro shift in decades? In this must-watch interview, Julien Garran of the MacroStrategy Partnership joins Trey Reik to explain why the market has completely misread the economic agenda of the Trump 2.0 administration. Behind the headlines and media noise lies the “Real Trump Trade”, a radical restructuring of U.S. economic policy aimed squarely at reversing two generations of blue-collar decline.
Key Topics:
Why markets are reacting incorrectly to Trump’s return and what they’re missing
How four key forces: trade, government spending, energy policy, and antitrust are being weaponized to reshape the economy
Why Julien believes we’re headed first into a deflationary bust, followed by a reflationary boom
What this means for the U.S. dollar, commodities, gold stocks, and Big Tech
Why Julien sees AI as a bursting bubble, with commercial viability hitting a wall
How Trump’s economic team may be willing to endure a recession to trigger long-term change
This conversation offers powerful insights into what’s coming next and why the current investor playbook may be obsolete.
