Ep. 1268: David Stockman Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

My guest today is David Stockman, a former businessman and American politician. He served as a Republican U.S. Representative from the state of Michigan (1977–1981) and as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (1981–1985) under President Ronald Reagan. Serving as budget director, he was one of the key architects of the Reagan Revolution plan to reduce taxes, cut spending and shrink the role of government.

The topic is his book Trump's War on Capitalism.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Trump's policies and its consequences
• Deep state and its impact on politics
• Economic principles and fiscal responsibility
• Challenges within the Republican Party
• Role of RFK Jr. in current politics
• Historical perspective on American governance
