Promethean Overviews • GOP CIVIL WAR: Trump's American System CRUSHING Murdoch's London Plot

In this overview, Mike Steger examines the growing conflict between President Trump and Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal over tariffs, American manufacturing, and the future of the Republican Party. He argues that Murdoch's opposition to Trump's economic policies represents a broader effort by Wall Street and the City of London to undermine the America First movement and restore the global financial system Trump is challenging.

Mike explores the history of Alexander Hamilton's American System, including protective tariffs, national credit, and investment in American industry. From Hamilton's battle with Aaron Burr and Wall Street to Abraham Lincoln's transcontinental railroad and Franklin Roosevelt's major infrastructure projects, he examines how American economic development has historically depended on strong national leadership and industrial investment.

Looking ahead to the 2028 presidential election, Mike discusses Vice President JD Vance, Stephen Miller's role in the Trump administration, and the battle over presidential executive power. He argues that Trump's strategy must go beyond tariffs to deliver tangible economic improvements through manufacturing, energy production, infrastructure, and new opportunities for younger Americans.
