Scott Galloway pt. 2: Why Young Americans Feel Hopeless: Structural Change, Policy Reform, and Real Solutions

Welcome back to part two of this incredible conversation. Without further ado, here we go. Talk to me about Trump. Give me a report card. So, people may have thought they were voting for one thing. What have they actually gotten? I think many people, certainly people on the right are gonna be surprised to hear you say that Trump is more socialist than mom Donnie. So give us the the litany of receipts there. What is Trump getting wrong, certainly? And then if you think that he's gotten anything right, I'll take that as well. Trump's instincts are often very strong. It's just his execution. I think he recognized before other people the asymmetric trade relationship with China. I think you gotta give him credit for that. I thought I think they were taking advantage of stealing our IP and then selling back selling it back to us less expensive and gutting our manufacturing sector. I think he saw that. I think that he saw immigration as a big problem. You know, the vice president, her big thing was supposed to be enforcing the border. She didn't do a great job.

So I think he recognized immigration. I think his messaging around affordability was the right message.

I think overrunning coequal branches of government, just basically ignoring congress, you know, I could go sending in a mass secret police to terrorize cities and people who've been here for twenty or thirty years when you could just show up with a clipboard and say, hi, car wash. You have Social Security filings for these people. I need proof of their documentation or I'm gonna fine you $10,000 a day. We have turned a blind eye to the immigration problem for forty years because the sad truth of or the uncomfortable truth about immigration is that people say it's the secret sauce of America. Okay. That's nice. That's a Hallmark commercial, and part of that is true. But the most profitable part of immigration is illegal immigration because they come across the border when our crops are coming due or grandma needs her ass wiped or we want cheap food at a restaurant. And then when the jobs dry up, they don't go on unemployment. They don't collect Social Security. They melt back to their countries. They usually don't stick around longer to cost to …
