Hedgeye NexGen | Episode 26 | Trumponomics & Recent Inflation

·49 min·1 clip

If you haven't gotten a 45% raise in the last five years, you've actually lost money to inflation.

Hedgeye analysts Ryan Ritchie and Bennett Shear fact-check Trump's economic claims about inflation being at a low point, systematically debunking them with data showing cumulative inflation up 25%, real wages down 2-19% since 2019, and devastating housing affordability statistics. The episode connects these macro trends to generational unhappiness, declining fertility rates, and the lived experience of young Americans who can't afford homes.
