According to a new analysis from the World Bank, Donald Trump’s economic policies are so bad that they are likely to cause the worst decade of GLOBAL economic growth since the 1960’s. Trump’s trade war is the driving factor, and already the World Bank says that it has driven growth in poorer nations to a complete standstill. But that’s just part of the picture, and things in the United States will likely be worse than for most developed nations. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

The World Bank released a, uh, prediction assessment on Tuesday that essentially tells us that Donald Trump has wrecked the economy, not just here in the United States, but across the globe so badly. And yes, it is because of his policies. He wrecked it so badly that we are looking at potentially the worst decade of economic growth in 60 years. For 60 years, we have not had anyone come into the Oval Office the way that Donald Trump has in just the first five months and wreck things so badly that he's destroying the global economy again, not just the US but the global economy. I will get into the specifics in just a moment, but first, a quick word from today's video sponsor.

I've talked a lot about what Trump's return could mean for our democracy, but let's talk about what's already happening to the media landscape. Major outlets like M-S-N-B-C and the LA Times are shifting to adopt more conservative perspectives. Then there's Bezos, the owner of the Washington Post and Sam Altman donating a million dollars to Trump's inauguration because he'll lead our country into the age of ai. Despite warning, AI could concentrate power, erode freedoms and reinforce biases. And these are just the moves that we know about. What about the outlets keeping their shift to the right quiet, letting bias creep into your feed unnoticed, and with algorithms already controlling what we see in the first place, finding truly independent voices is more urgent and rare than ever. That's why I've trusted my partners at Ground News for a long time to help me critically analyze the news that I consume.

They're the only app not trying to tell you what to think. Instead, they organize every perspective by story with insight on each source's political bias, credibility, and even the financial incentives behind the headlines. You can even filter out extremist outlets to focus on reliable reporting that actually matters. It's how I've saved hours of research into the stories I talk about without wasting time sifting through propaganda and misinformation. Trump knows that controlling the narrative is the first step to controlling the people, but I trust ground news to make sure the truth never gets buried. And you should too.

So here is what the New York Times had to say about this new assessment and prediction from the World Bank quote. Despite the weakening outlook, the global economy is not expected to fall into a recession. The World Bank said, however, the trade tension is setting the stage for the weakest decade of growth. Since the 1960s, economic development in many of the poorest parts of the world has come to a standstill already. Per the forecast, global growth is expected to drop from 2.8% last year to 2.3%, a decline of 0.4 percentage points worse than forecast in January prior to the avalanche of tariffs imposed by the US President World Bank, chief Economist
