When Donald Trump ran for president, he campaigned on both dramatically increasing tariffs on America’s biggest trading partners and reducing the size of the federal government. On his first day in office, he signed a series of executive orders, including some aimed at cutting federal agencies. His administration has also pursued plans to privatize key government services, including the Postal Service, Medicare and the Department of Education.

In the video above, Straight Arrow News contributor Dr. Rashad Richey argues that Trump’s tariff policies and targeting of government agencies are intentionally driving the country into an economic crisis. He believes this strategy aims to privatize the entire federal government, a move he warns will harm most Americans.

The following is an excerpt from the above video:

You see, I believe their plan is much more diabolical than once assumed. Think about it: what president of the United States would literally do everything he could do in order to offend the very groups that elected him, from veterans to white males to white women, and the list goes on and on.

Thirty percent of the workers fired by Elon Musk and Trump at the VA (Veterans Affairs) are, in fact, veterans. He said he loved veterans. He’s also offending white women, who, once again, the majority of white women in America voted for Donald Trump, but they are also being fired, and now they have buyer’s remorse.

Why is he governing in such a way? Why is this happening? Well, the 25% tariffs against Canada, 25% tariffs against Mexico, the tariffs against China, and the list goes on. Well, remember, he’s currently taking dinners with CEOs and millionaires who are connected to these industries that are adversely affected by the tariffs. Why is he taking these meetings? Well, I believe he’s taking these meetings because these meetings will eventually turn into carve-outs for the tariffs, you understand, pay-to-stay kind of thing.

And what isn’t carved out will then be privatized. So what you’re likely looking at from the Department of Education, basically eliminating 50% of its workforce, talking about consolidating its facilities, you’re likely looking at a major attempt at privatization, not just elimination.

Now Donald Trump Just Did a car commercial. Yeah, a damn car commercial. Let me explain. Donald Trump was seen basically reviewing Teslas to purchase, said he’s going to purchase one, and had the option to purchase from a few. Okay. Why is he doing this? Well, because the oligarch in charge, Elon Musk, told him to this instills confidence back into the Tesla market. It probably stabilizes the stock, which, by the way, was spiraling out of control. And it enhances this overall dynamic connected to Donald Trump and his willingness to basically do whatever billionaires who pay him money tell him to do, it is likely an ethical violation. It is likely illegal.

When the White House was posed to question, Hey, did Trump follow the ethical guidelines when it comes to things like this. Well, White House has no response. But see, it gets even deeper. It’s even more sinister than that, in my opinion. I believe that all of this tariff talk sending our economy into a great well, depression is intentional. You see, I believe their plan is much more diabolical than once assumed. Think about it, what President of the United States would literally do everything he could do in order to offend the very groups that elected him, from veterans to white males to white women, and the list goes on and on. 30% of the workers fired by Elon Musk and Trump at the VA are, in fact, veterans. He said he loved veterans. He’s also offending white women, who, once again, the majority of white women in America voted for Donald Trump, but they are also being fired, and now they have bias remorse. Why is he governing in such a way? Why is this happening? Well, the 25% tariffs against Canada, 25% tariffs against Mexico, the tariffs against China and the list goes on. Well, remember, he’s currently taking dinners with CEOs and millionaires who are connected to these industries that are adversely affected by the tariffs. Why is he taking these meetings?

Well, I believe he’s taking these meetings because these meetings will eventually turn into carve outs for the tariffs you understand, pay to stay kind of thing, and what isn’t carved out will then be privatized. So what you’re likely looking at from the Department of Education, basically eliminating 50% of its workforce, talking about consolidating its facilities, you’re likely looking at a major attempt at privatization, not just elimination. While the disguise may be we’re returning power back to the States. Think about this. If you don’t have the infrastructure, if you don’t have the government workers, if you don’t have the federal employees, you still have the process claims, you still have applications that are now backlogged. You still have to do the everyday work of getting it done. Who does that?

Do you think he all of a sudden sees the light and rehires the individuals that were fired or bring in new individuals that have no institutional knowledge about any of these governmental operations. No, he privatizes This, in my humble estimation, is about the massive privatization of the entire United States of America, something to think about. How does that serve you? It doesn’t i?
