How Trump's Policies Could Slash U.S. Lifespans by 2-5 Years

In this video, The Intellectualist delves into the staggering consequences of Donald Trump’s proposed policies, from mass deportations and steep tariffs to restrictive immigration measures and anti-climate stances. Based on credible data, these policies could cost the U.S. economy between $25.6 and $39.65 trillion over the next decade, reducing GDP by 10-15% and deeply impacting living standards for millions of Americans. Mass Deportation: A $315 billion enforcement cost, with $4.6 to $7.4 trillion in GDP losses, threatens industries reliant on immigrant labor like agriculture and construction. Tariffs: A 10% tariff would increase household costs by $2,000 to $4,000 annually, while potentially slashing $4.2 to $6.4 trillion from the economy over 10 years. Project 2025: Deregulation and federal restructuring could cost $600 billion to $1.2 trillion, destabilizing key institutions. Anti-Climate Policies: Delayed renewable energy investments and rising climate disasters could lead to $14 to $21 trillion in costs. Beyond the numbers, these policies are expected to have devastating societal consequences. Experts project a 2-5 year reduction in life expectancy for lower-income populations, driven by rising inequality, reduced healthcare access, and worsening air and water quality due to environmental rollbacks. Mental health crises and violent crime rates could surge, while economic instability would deepen divisions across communities. Watch now to understand how these policies could reshape America’s economy, society, and future.
