Will the Trump bubble burst sooner than you think?

Video Description

Donald Trump has built his entire political project on hype and delusion — the same ingredients that fuel every economic bubble. But belief cannot defy reality forever. When cruelty replaces competence and lies replace truth, collapse follows. In this video, I explain why Trump’s political and economic bubble is unsustainable, how tariffs and speculation are destroying US livelihoods, and why the far-right worldwide will fall with him. Watch to the end — because when the bubble bursts, we’ll need to rebuild democracy, truth, and care. 00:00 – The Trump bubble explained 00:35 – Hype, delusion, and political fantasy 01:10 – When belief replaces value 01:55 – Trump’s economic failures exposed 02:40 – Tariffs, taxes, and lost livelihoods 03:25 – Global far-right follows the Trump model 04:05 – The myth of the Middle East “deal of the century” 04:50 – The coming collapse of Trumpism 05:35 – When belief meets reality 06:10 – A chance to rebuild democracy and decency 07:00 – Preparing for life after Trump TRANSCRIPT A transcript for this video is available at: https://www.taxresearch.org.uk IF YOU WANT TO WRITE TO YOUR MP ABOUT ISSUES IN THIS VIDEO If you want to write a letter to your MP on the issues raised in this blog post, there is a ChatGPT prompt to assist you in doing so, with full instructions, here. https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/06/20/chatgpt-prompt-for-a-letter-to-your-mp/ HOW TO SUPPORT US Please consider donating: https://ko-fi.com/taxresearch ABOUT RICHARD MURPHY Richard Murphy is Emeritus Professor of Accounting Practice at Sheffield University Management School.
