About this listen

 This episode breaks down what we call Trump’s Privileged Economy — a system where market gains, tax advantages, and policy outcomes disproportionately favored the already wealthy, well-connected, and insulated, while millions of working Americans were left with rising costs, stagnant wages, and shrinking security.
We unpack:
Why stock market highs didn’t translate into everyday economic stability
How tax cuts and deregulation concentrated gains at the top
The illusion of prosperity versus lived economic reality
Who actually benefited — and who paid the long-term price
Why economic narratives matter more than economic facts in politics
This isn’t about party loyalty or personalities.
It’s about power, access, and who the system is designed to protect.
If you’ve ever felt like the economy was “doing great” on paper but not in your life, this episode connects the dots.
