JD Vance: WARNING *THIS* DEATH SPIRAL may Take Down Trump
FULL TRANSCRIPT
that is one of the ways they could take
down Donald Trump it would be
devastating to the president if you had
this death spiral well I have to admit I
have incorrectly been a bond market Bull
since right before the Federal Reserve
cut interest rates 50 basis points I
figured with inflationary signals fading
away company earnings calls remarking on
a lack of pricing power and quite
frankly the likelihood that the Federal
Reserve will have to increase the pace
of their rate cutting not decrease it
there was only one way to go for bond
yields that was down which would mean
bond prices would go up but I missed
this a conversation from JD Vance with
Tucker Carlson and the implications of
pricing in a potential Donald Trump
presidency but don't hear it from me let
me play you what JD Vance said on
September 18th the same day the Federal
Reserve cut interest rates 50 basis
points and then let's talk about what
some of the takeaways from this are what
they mean for bond yields from then
until now which let's just say not good
but then let's also talk about what they
potentially mean going forward depending
on what kind of presidency we end up
getting here we go the thing I really
worry about on on bond markets is okay
we have call it$ 1.6 to2 trillion in
debt every single year in this country
getting added to the national debt and
the only thing that really makes that
service ible is that interest rates are
still pretty low right they're about 4
and a half% right now if interest rates
go to 8% and you're actually spending
way more to service the debt than you
are on actual like good services and
infrastructure for your country like
that can become a huge spiral that could
take down the finances of this country
we've never had that in 200 plus years
of being an American Republic we've
never had a true debt spiral in this
country so I really worry about do the
bond markets do the international
investors the people who are getting
rich off of globalization the people who
have gotten Rich from Shipping our
manufacturing base to China the people
who' have gotten Rich from a lot of Wars
do they try to take down the Trump
presidency by spiking Bond rates and and
one of the things that I think a lot
about and I talked to the president
about this a lot is when we think about
who we're choosing as treasury secretary
one of the things the president of
course it's his choice ultimately is
we've got to find the guy who's going to
make sure that we can manage this
country through a real time of crisis
where we get the country's finances back
on track that is one of the ways they
could take down Donald Trump and you
have to ask yourself the tools at their
disposal they're doing everything that
they can to manipulate voters I don't
think it's going to work but if Trump
wins it's not just going to be smooth
sailing for four years they're going to
do everything that they can to take down
the key number is that interest rate I
think that's probably the most the most
important and the most impactful way
they could try to take down as
presidency is by spiking the interest
rates you saw this by the way Tucker Liz
trust in in Britain okay which by the
way like I I like Liz truss I disagree
with her on a lot of issues um but like
so I'm not I'm not trying to stand up or
say Liz truss is my person but look she
came in she had a plan and the bank of
England I think made a lot of mistakes
maybe intentional interest rates shot
through the roof and it took down her
government in a matter of days of course
we don't have the same style of
government but it would be devastating
to the president if you had this bond
market death spiral and that's one of
the things we're going to have to fight
against when we win again I think we're
going to win let's understand that for a
moment they referred to the destruction
of the Trump presidency potentially via
Rising interest rates through the bond
market now Liz truss took office on
September 6th of
2022 take a look at the 10-year guilt
this is the United Kingdom Bond the
10year version of it you'll notice
between August and then the end of
September and then the beginning of
October during the Liz trust
Administration which lasted less Long
than a lettuce head but she did end up
getting replaced and yields promptly
came down although not as much as they
had come you know as much as they had
moved up there was some relief after she
was replaced but this increase of uh
actually if you look at this from 2.3%
up to about 4.1 this is a
1.8 percentage Point increase in the
yield on the 10-year going from 2 2.3
all the way up to 4.1 this creates
massive losses for bond market
investors and it was due to the fear of
a trust Administration and JD Vance here
the day of the Federal Reserve 50 basis
point cut is arguing what if the bond
market prices in that Donald Trump is
going to Skyrocket interest rates and
since this warning as you could see on
this chart the 10-year treasury yield
has skyrocketed from about
3.65 is% all the way up to about
4.27 now that's only about it's actually
slightly less than half as bad as the
skyrocketing that you got because of Liz
truss but JD Vance is basically arguing
here hey this could really hurt us now
why could Rising yields hurt us like in
plain English why could this be Dev
stating to the Trump
Administration it's simple in 2007 the
Federal Reserve cut interest rates on
September 18th 2007 by 50 basis points
they went from 5 and a qu to
4.75 it's the same exact day just quite
literally 17 years later that we just
cut interest rates from the same amount
5 and a quarter to 4.75 by 50 basis
points except then we did it leading
into the Great Recession great financial
crisis everybody argues today that this
time is different but what actually
helped contribute to the financial
crisis of 2007 2008
2009 Rising yields and this is what JD
Vance is worried about I think he's a
smart person and he realizes that oh no
if markets for some reason think that
Donald Trump or a trump Administration
would lead to Rising yields it's going
to make it harder for us to deal with
the massive debts that we have in
addition to that it could actually
create a recession that's the problem
when yields go up when the Federal
Reserve is trying to loosen monetary
policy you actually make it harder for
the Federal Reserve to relax economic
tension you make it harder to expand
business or to hire or to invest in new
business products or capital
infrastructure or whatever because
interest rates are even higher now add
to this what companies like Robo bank or
individuals like Nick T over at the Wall
Street Journal say about the Trump
Administration now this is not a dig on
the Trump Administration is just simply
arguing what is being said about the two
administrations first Robo bank has
suggested that Donald Trump would mean
tax cuts for corporations and households
deregulation and a termination of
electric vehicle tax credits in addition
to that we might see the stopping of the
flow of illegal immigrants and we might
end up seeing a single-handed imposition
of tariffs of up to 10 to 20% they go
ahead and outline this here let's go
ahead and jump over to the PDF so you
could see it yourself so you know it's
not just me making this stuff up
although I would hope that you never
think that anyway let's hop
over okay here it is so uh this is what
I just read out to you this section here
and it suggests that Donald Trump can
singlehandedly impose these tariffs on
other countries comma Harris they argue
would instead be Biden with a Twist
reduce health care costs tax hikes for
the rich and corporations tax cuts for
the middle class with a goal to stop
price scouching and provide $25,000 of
down payment assistance for first-time
home buyers the impact out of all of
this well when it comes to inflation
they believe that Donald Trump will lead
to higher inflation in every single year
between 25 6 and 7 now they do argue
that in both cases you will have a
divided Congress and they actually go
pretty generous here on Trump they only
assume when you read the document they
only assume that he's going to get
through a 5% tariff on foreign countries
they actually argue that the inflation
under Trump would be substantially
higher if you had even more tariffs but
take a look look at this 25% Harris in
2025 3.1 Trump 2.7 Harris 26 4.0 Trump
2.3 Harris in 2027 2.5 Trump this is a
remarkable difference here uh and if we
zoom up for a moment I just want you to
see sort of the summary they have here
and then we'll go to GDP look at this
with only one week to go before the
elections the Harris bounce in the poll
is fading a trump presidency would
likely lead to a universal tariff in
even higher tariffs on China with
support from Congress he would cut taxes
deregulate the economy and reduce
immigration a Harris presidency would be
an extension of the Biden
administration's policies with targeted
tariffs on China reducing health care
costs and trying to cut taxes for the
middle class however two new Harris
specific policy plans focus on stopping
price gouging and dealing with the
housing market shortages you know would
lead to uncertainties right in their
simulations Trump's Universal tariff
would lead to a rebound in inflation
that could be one of the reasons why
we're seeing a spike in yields is this
pricing in of Donald Trump that we're
seeing and it's not just uh an inflation
concern but it's also partly a
stagflationary concern which is
concerning take a look at this real GDP
forecast here under Trump negative 2%
compared to Harris in 2025 NE .7
compared to Harris in 26 and .2 compared
to Harris in 2027 this does not even
include a recession scenario and it only
incorporates a 5% Universal uh tariff uh
from Donald Trump so this is kind of
scary because you have Robo bank here
basically reiterating what JD Vance is
warning which is that yeah Bond markets
might be fearful not only of these
uncontrollable fiscal deficits but also
that if public markets think that Donald
Trump is going to be associated with
higher inflation potentially in part
because of deportations or tariffs then
yields are going to go up and you could
actually induce a
recession as a result of yields going up
which is exactly what happened in
2007 now Nick T of the Wall Street
Journal also chimes in on this Nick T of
the Wall Street Journal cites the
Peterson Institute which is considered a
uh pretty unbiased Source I always like
to Google any kind of source uh and then
I type in media bias after that and
there are some good media bias fact
Checkers although you wonder what kind
of bias they have but you know they seem
to be relatively on point and they find
that the Peterson Institute is highly
factual and and almost smack dab in the
middle and so they have uh an analysis
on this uh and again this is from Nick t
i really respect Nick t uh I think he's
he's a great journalist he's pretty
smart uh he's over at the Wall Street
Journal we respect him when uh he covers
uh Drome Powell in the Federal Reserve
and uh you know he doesn't have any kind
of bias or tilt that at least I can
identify he just tries to give it to you
straight uh and uh he argues that both
candidates are going to support policies
that would support growth uh however
both of them might end up leading to the
creation of policies that keep inflation
elevated for longer so higher inflation
for longer and according to the Peterson
Institute Nick argues that deporting
immigrants would quote significantly
reduced economic impact or reduce
economic output rather while boosting
inflation on top of that he argues that
fewer workers would be available and as
a result of fewer workers being
available prices would either go up or
earnings per share at companies would go
down as margins get squeezed now some
people counter this and say that
Americans will just fill that void left
by immigrants who are deported but other
studies come back countering this and
argue that for every 1 million
unauthorized immigrants that are
deported 800 sorry 88,000 Americans lose
their job so in other words kick out 1
million illegal immigrants 88,000
Americans lose their jobs now some
people say hey maybe that's a fair
tradeoff but it is something that's
worth noting tariffs are also considered
to be a stickler with Donald Trump Trump
they expect that there will be an
inflationary impact from Donald Trump's
tariffs now Trump counters this and
argues that we didn't have inflation in
2016 and we just won't again but then
again you saw the very warning from J
Vance himself so if you're wondering
what's going on with a bond trade there
you go and this is a crazy comparison
basically coming straight from JD Vance
a crazy warning about the potential
recessionary impact that markets could
impose upon Donald Trump without even
Trump doing anything just on expectation
in the event that Donald Trump wins the
election so something to buckle up for
and brace for impact on if you're long
bonds and well Donald Trump wins keep an
eye on this now do keep in mind if you
are looking for a way to diversify from
the craziness of public markets right
