Richard Wolff: Trump Will MELT DOWN When He Realizes This

Donald Trump’s political appeal is riddled with contradictions, and economist Richard Wolff lays them bare in this compelling dissection of the former president’s economic and electoral strategy. Wolff argues that Trump’s understanding of politics as a personal brand war—divorced from ideological consistency—has allowed him to promise everything to everyone, from tariffs to immigration crackdowns, with little regard for internal coherence or long-term viability. But these contradictions now threaten to implode. Trump’s embrace of tariffs—functionally taxes—directly clashes with the GOP’s century-long anti-tax ethos and worsens inflation, the very economic condition he weaponized against Biden. His anti-immigrant rhetoric, meanwhile, collides with the tech sector’s dependence on skilled foreign labor, exposing a rift between his MAGA base and corporate allies like Elon Musk. At a deeper level, Wolff suggests that Trump’s contradictions mirror those of a declining U.S. empire: a nation clinging to past dominance while BRICS economies surge ahead. As Wolff explains, America’s capitalist class is being slowly re-educated by crisis, forced to reckon with geopolitical limits they long pretended didn’t exist.
