YouTube Notes:
Susan Kokinda argues that Jamie Dimon, Mark Carney, and Tony Blair are suddenly echoing Donald Trump, because a major shift in economic and strategic power is underway.
She highlights:
- Dimon’s admission that outsourcing and dependence on adversaries was a mistake;
- Carney’s “Canada Strong” pitch on investment and sovereignty alongside continued globalist policies; and
- Blair’s critique of Labour priorities on clean energy, welfare, and defense.
Kokinda contrasts this rebranding with what she calls the Trump administration’s revival of the “American System,” pointing to:
- An oil tanker headed to Japan;
- Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s claim that energy geopolitics has shifted to the Western Hemisphere; and
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s Reagan Forum remarks rejecting “invisible hand” economics, insisting that economic security is national security, and “productive capacity is power.”
