Jim Bianco: Is Trump Trying to Wreck the Economy?

Is Trump trying to wreck the economy, or is he just ripping off the Band-Aid?

Macro expert Jim Bianco breaks down Trump's economic strategy—tariffs, tax cuts, and shifting focus from the stock market to the 10-year Treasury yield.

We discuss the potential risks of short-term pain, the surprising Crypto Strategic Reserve, and whether this shift could lead to long-term economic stability. Is this the start of a recession or a necessary correction?

Tune in for Jim’s expert take.
