Unpopular Opinion: Trump is being LIED To. Prepare your Money.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey Ry Kevin here there is a shocking
potential that could come as a result of
the Trump tariffs and very few people
are talking about this it may not happen
but I think it is in your best interest
to consider this perspective especially
if you are a business operator uh and if
you're an investor you'd like to know as
well so here's the thesis the thesis is
and and this isn't me taking sides I'm
not trying to be political okay this is
just a thesis uh let's talk about it all
right let's get into it so first a lot
of companies right now are announcing
these massive new investments into
America but there's a common denominator
between all of them all of the projects
are announcing this four to five year
time frame we've got the open AI
partnership we've got the Apple
Investments multiple other announcements
that almost get made on a daily basis by
these Powerhouse companies about how
they're going to invest so much more
money into make America great again
what's the common denominator there
they're not spending it right now saying
yeah yeah yeah we'll do it over the next
four years which what is that afford
well first it gives Donald Trump a win
ah look hundreds of billions of dollars
getting announced to come to America
make America great again fantastic
everyone's happy it looks like Trump is
doing what he's saying the companies on
the other hand are in the good graces of
trump hey uh Trump you know these
tariffs are Looney remember we're
investing $500 billion over the next X
number of years we're we're in we're in
this with you we want to make America
great again as well by the way these
tariffs suck okay so what's the point of
this the point of this
is there is a possibility that a lot of
these
companies are saying whatever they need
to to give Trump the impression that
he's winning and what they're really
doing is manipulating the Trump
Administration into believing they've
secured all of these Investments to
leverage clout over Trump to get tariffs
to go away to go back to a world of free
trade and then guess what happens this
is the
punch anyone who actually went all in on
a new unsubsidized Factory or you know
some form of industrial plant in America
ends up screwed why because if you go
back to a future of free trade and the
tariffs go away you're back to square
one which is competing with China
competing with Indonesia Taiwan and all
of the other countries now it's possible
we never go back to free
trade I think that is impossible now
this is my opinion but based on the
research that I'm doing I suspect that
within the next 2 years Donald Trump
will announce some form of great grand
free trade
agreement that means anybody who started
building you know an aluminum Fab let's
say in America has just wasted their
money and the downside of that is they
won't be competitive unless there are
government grants to make them
competitive it's actually why you saw
tsmc come to America not because it was
cheaper to build in America but it was
cheaper to build in America with Biden
bucks uh now what implications do this
have well if Donald Trump does not go
back to free trade here's the other
thing he might not he might hold on but
if he holds on we probably end up seeing
a recession well what is a recession
going to do well if it's a short-term
detox six-month recession maybe nothing
but if it ends up being a long-term loss
generation of investment opportunity
recession people are going to be pissed
and the Democrats will finally find
a non Looney
Democrat and they'll win in 2028 if that
happens or in that case when that
happens what's the first thing they're
going to do well the first thing is you
will lose tariffs and you'll go right
back to free trade within the first 6
months of the next Administration so
either Trump within the next two years
probably brings us to free trade or the
next Administration four years from now
in a few months brings us us a free
trade now forgive me I'm just walking to
my car from the hospital because Max is
in the uh pediatric ICU hopefully he'll
be out of here tomorrow he's finally
clinically better but yeah pretty sick
there so oxygen got down to like 79% for
a moment we're like oh this kid's going
hypoxic maybe we should call a
doctor we did anyway so love the
cybertruck by the way I always have to
check now every time I get to it like
did I get graffitied yet
honestly you know if you read Twitter
you feel like you're going to get
graffitied every day but it hasn't
happened yet so good it's a great car so
all right here's the thing let's think
about this practically for a moment if
you are Apple are you really going to
invest uh 500 million dollar into plants
in the United States because of all
these tariffs and then all of a sudden
they go away and it's cheaper to have
just built it in India because you have
an Administration that is now back to
free trade and you don't have the
incentives so now all of a sudden you're
paying $35 per for Labor uh per hour
where you could be getting it for $3 an
hour now I'm not saying that is good
that yes the American worker suffers
with that the American Consumer benefits
through the form of lower prices and
basically Innovative def deflation
through uh and globalism deflation right
Innovation leads to deflation uh and
globalism currently leads to deflation
but that's really because I mean think
about it if all of us on average make 40
bucks an hour we walk into a room great
and let's say there are a hundred of us
if we then walk into a room where there
are 100 you know people from India
Indian workers and they have an average
wage of $3 an hour well and we walk into
that room and now we have 200 people
half of them with an average of $3 an
hour half of them with an average of $40
an hour or whatever we're making the
average wage of that room is going to
plummet who benefits from that is the
global consumer so in other words the
thesis here the opinion is that a return
to free trade is inevitable it will
either happen under the Trump
Administration or it will happen under
the next Administration either way I
believe and I agree that history tells
us we will almost always return to free
trade this is what we have seen time and
time again in the 1930s we saw it in the
1970s we'll see it again at some point
in the future we will return to free
trade if that is the conclusion if if
the answer is we will be returning to
free trade at some point in the future
why would you actually build a $500
million facility in America you probably
wouldn't because the moment you finished
it and we went back to free trade
sitting on ampts you'd be uh you'd be
right back in a disant disadvantageous
position now you just invested all of
this money into an area where
congratulations you open up shop and now
you have a horrible
opportunity to compete on a global scale
again because everybody's competing with
free trade and you could have had lower
wages somewhere else I believe that
companies realize this and that's why
they're doing whatever they can to talk
big about these four-year plans now
realizing that they are not actually
Liars if they do nothing for the next
two years and just wait because they
said four years yeah we're just spending
the first two years planning bro then
you get to midterms who knows the
uncertainty is resolved by waiting
companies know that and so that's an
interesting conclusion there uh you know
and it's something that we look at as
you know we look at this in the housing
market as well so so you know we have
the non-accredited raise for house hack
but I want you to think about the with
the housing market we look at markets
that are structurally and always going
to be underbuilt that's where we like
investing because that's where we can
make our investors money and when we IPO
in the future we hope we can
institutionalize what we're doing and
it's big dollars for everybody involved
okay that's the goal I'm biased
obviously house act.com but the point is
some things don't change you could have
a politician say they're going to change
things and they're going to change the
rules and they're going to make things
temporarily different fine then you just
wait for it all to return to the mean
the same thing that's true in housing I
believe will also end up being true in
manufacturing do I really think we're
going to manufacture aluminum in the
United States is that the best use of
Americans Talent do I really believe
that the UAW saying uh tariffs are great
for Americans is truly great for
Americans or is it great for Union auto
worker union dues who represent about
400,000 workers out of the 154 million
workers in the country in other words
less than
1% so I I hate to say it but this may be
a very unpopular opinion because right
this this implies that somehow oh I'm
anti-trump I'm anti- tariff I think
tariffs are a stupid idea if you want to
use them to negotiate that's fine but I
actually think he's just doing this to
try to get to free trade again and then
when we get back to free trade well now
we don't have tariff induced inflation
and oh my gosh rates can come down and
you accomplish everything thing so then
you accomplish uh lower inflation lower
rates and hopefully an economy that
hasn't yet gone into recession but we
will return to free trade and companies
know that and they don't want to be left
building infrastructure in the most one
of the most expensive places in the
world probably outside outside of like
Europe or the United Kingdom to
manufacture why why if you're not going
to get incentivized the only reason we
were really seeing manufacturing come
back to the United States and I'm not
here to shill Biden by any means but
things like the the inflation reduction
act incentivizing Manufacturing in the
United States was an instantaneous
transformation for business end phase as
an example uh was Manufacturing in
Romania because it was cheaper to
manufacture inverters in Romania
inflation reduction act comes around
they're like oh my gosh guess what we're
doing now we're Manufacturing in America
well if the inflation reduction act goes
away guess what they're going to go back
to going back to Romania and then people
are like oh but but then you'll go to
tariffs fine we might go to tariffs for
the short term you go to tariffs for the
short term you create economic pain you
create lower growth uh you create this
talk about investment and then it never
actually happens and then guess what you
end up back at free trade anyway now
best case scenario we see a reduction of
retal tffs retory tariffs right this is
actually a very interesting thesis that
you could use I think I get allies out
here
loser ah anyway there's this idea that
you could actually use these
negotiations to
reduce the tariffs that have been
implemented against the United States so
again it ends up being just a leverage
argument but even in that case if you go
into a reduction of of tariffs so like
the inverse of retaliatory tariffs like
everybody together going to free trade
then what you end up with again is free
trade so we will revert to the mean we
will revert to free trade that's my
opinion that's my thesis I could be
wrong that's why I'm putting opinion in
this title because I don't want people
to think that you know I'm I'm telling
you this is exactly what's going to
happen I'm telling you what I I think is
going to happen uh and I think you know
maybe you could leave a comment Down
Below on this I don't know if these sort
of videos are going to be interesting to
people do people just sort of only want
the news or do you actually also want my
opinion hence again why I'm putting
opinion in the title to isolate to
people who might be interested in that
but think about the long-term investing
implications of this well if we go back
to free trade we go back to growth it my
opinion uh you remove
uncertainty uh and in the long term we
won't have an inflation issue you'll
have a a disinflation issue you'll be
right back to the money printer turning
on which when the money printer turns
back on what do you want you want assets
it could be anything it could be Bitcoin
uh it could be gold or it could be real
estate it could be stocks because they
preserve your purchasing power in the
face of
inflation now even we might not have
inflation I don't think we're going to
have high inflation the money printer
will be on so technically what we're
doing is we're just fighting deflation
because we should be seeing deflation in
our numbers in a capitalistic economy
but we don't because we print too much
so kind of funny but uh point of all of
that is be cautious of these
announcements meaning anything for our
GDP in the meantime in the near term and
wait for that like we go back to free
trade and avoid a recession your boy
Kevin's back to buying the dip
