HOW THE GAME JUST CHANGED ON YOU (AND MOST DON’T EVEN KNOW IT YET)
You ever hear of reflexivity? It’s a theory from George Soros—he used it to become one of the richest men alive. Here’s the short version:
What people believe is happening… ends up causing it to happen.
If folks believe the economy is crashing, they stop spending. That makes companies cut jobs. The economy slows down. Boom—recession. Not because of the numbers, but because of how people felt.
Now apply that to what Trump just did.
- He slapped massive tariffs on foreign goods.
- He’s cutting government spending.
- He’s forcing America to make its own products again.
- Fewer imports mean prices go up.
- Prices go up, and people stop buying.
- People stop buying, and businesses lay off workers.
- Jobs dry up, inflation spikes, and the middle class takes the hit.
