Why Trump Is Crashing Stocks to Save Bonds, Tariffs Impact & DOGE Effects on GDP - Gary Brode

Gary Brode joins TFTC to discuss why Trump is crashing stocks to save bonds, tackling the U.S. debt crisis and bond yields dropping from 4.8% to 4.3%. He explores tariffs’ impact, like Apple’s $500B investment, and DOGE effects on GDP, questioning if cuts up to $1T could reset the economy. Topics include Bitcoin’s rise as a safe haven, Yellen’s treasury missteps, and unsustainable social safety nets with $250T in liabilities. From stock market manipulation to tariff trade-offs and DOGE-driven GDP shifts, this episode unpacks economic chaos and potential fixes with clear insights.
