No Heroes, No Villains: Grading Trump’s First Year by Outcomes. Why Economics Matters

In this episode of Why Economics Matters, I issue a clear-eyed report card on the first year of the Trump administration—grading outcomes, not personalities, and results, not rhetoric. Some policies earn a strong A+++: Support for crypto and financial alternatives The dismantling of NGO pipelines used to fuel rent-a-mobs, color revolutions, and unrestricted illegal immigration A long-overdue push back against narrative enforcement and institutional capture Other actions earn an unambiguous F+++: Unwavering support for Israel regardless of consequence The abandonment of Jeffrey Epstein revelations and the broader issue of deep power and blackmail The bombing of Iran and the dangerous escalation it represents There are also unexpected grades, including a B for Venezuela—not because I support interventionism, but because it reflects a strategic pivot toward a modernized Monroe Doctrine and a hemispheric focus that breaks with decades of European and NATO entanglement. I also explain why I give a strong A+ to breaking with Europe and NATO, and why the post-WWII alliance structure no longer serves American economic or geopolitical interests. This episode is not pro-Trump or anti-Trump. It’s about agency, sovereignty, power, and economic reality—and why pretending every policy fits neatly into partisan narratives is how we keep missing what actually matters.
