Trump Agreed With Bernie, Bessent Trashed the Free Market, What's Going On?!

Get our FREE Newsletter at https://www.PrometheanAction.com — Susan argues that Trump’s recent comments praising overlap with Bernie Sanders and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s critique of “slavish devotion to free markets” signal not a change of sides but a shift to a different economic system. It frames Trump’s “new economic plan” as an industrial policy that uses tariffs, tax policy, directed investment, and potential public-private stakes in major AI firms, while also challenging Federal Reserve practices and Wall Street forecasting. Citing the latest jobs report (172,000 jobs versus a 105,000 forecast, with prior months revised upward), it claims the plan is working, though manufacturing hiring is still early, following a sequence of orders, production, investment, then jobs described by Peter Navarro. Susan says this approach revives Henry Clay’s “American System,” presented as distinct from free markets, free trade, or socialism. 🇺🇸 America 250 Merch drop, featuring Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and Alexander Hamilton: https://shop.prometheanaction.com/collections/america-250-founding-fathers-collection-17762026 🔗 ALL PAID subscribers get access to all the citations, links and resources used to write this script https://www.prometheanaction.com/#/portal/account/plans 👉 *Make a one-time donation to Promethean Action* https://donate.prometheanaction.com/donate_social_otm?recruiter_id=139893 00:00 The Saturday Wrap-Up - Trump Agreed With Bernie, Bessent Trashed the Free Market, What's Going On?! - June 6, 2026 01:16 Trump's Team Is Dropping Economic Bombshells 05:58 First Orders.
