🚨 The Warning Signs Are Flashing Red.
In video #2 of his new series – Reality Check – Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, and our co-founder, David Cay Johnston breaks down what’s really happening behind the economic headlines — and it’s troubling news.
While the stock market soars under Donald Trump, the real economy is sliding backward. Small and mid-sized businesses are shedding tens of thousands of jobs, the hospitality industry is shrinking, and Trump’s tariffs have wiped out exports like U.S. soybeans to China.
With the government shutdown blocking official data, private payroll reports show the truth: the U.S. economy has stopped growing and is starting to reverse.
💬 In this video, Johnston explains:
• Why the stock market boom isn’t sustainable
• Where jobs are disappearing fastest
• How Trump’s trade policies are fueling the decline
• What you can do to prepare for a rocky road ahead
