Will the Trump bubble burst sooner than you think? - Richard Murphy

18th October 2025

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.
