9 Months to Impact: Trump’s Betrayal and America’s Coming Crash
The cushion runs out in August. The CEOs already know. And Trump’s own supporters are starting to figure out they were betrayed. On this livestream, MAtt Robison of Worth Knowing brings together three of the sharpest analysts in the country to connect the dots between Trump’s political betrayal of America and its coming economic crash — and to ask the question no politician has yet had the nerve to ask out loud.
SEGMENT 1 — THE BETRAYAL
Anne Kim and Ira Shapiro, editors of Betrayed: America Didn’t Vote for This, lay out 12 major areas where the Trump administration has dismantled pivotal institutions, trampled norms of governance, and advanced an authoritarian agenda — and why 1 in 5 Trump supporters now regret their 2024 vote.
SEGMENT 2 — THE CRASH
Lawrence Winnerman, COO of Blue Amp Media and author of the viral essay “This Isn’t a Recession. It’s Worse,” walks us through the supply chain time bombs ticking right now — from Gulf Coast oil inventories to fertilizer prices to AI-driven labor displacement — and explains why what’s coming is not a recession. It’s something we don’t have a name for yet.
Together, these two stories are the same story. Don’t miss it.
