Promethean Overviews Trump vs. The Globalists: The Post-NAFTA Revolution

NAFTA was an economic nuclear bomb.But decades before NAFTA, central bankers and global financial interests were already laying the groundwork for the dismantling of America’s industrial economy.In this episode, Mike traces the origins of globalization from Paul Volcker’s 1978 call for the “controlled disintegration” of the world economy through the passage of NAFTA and into President Trump’s effort to rebuild American manufacturing, secure critical supply chains, and reshape the Western Hemisphere around national sovereignty.From rare earth minerals and industrial policy to trade wars, labor coalitions, and the future of North American economic integration, this episode examines the growing conflict between globalism and what Mike calls Fortress America.X • https://x.com/stegerMG Substack • mikesteger.substack.com/ 00:00 Intro01:10 Volcker and the Origins of Globalization02:30 NAFTA and the Collapse of Industrial America04:05 Liberation Day and the Tariff Battle05:30 China’s Rare Earth Weapon06:45 Rebuilding American Industry08:20 The End of Free Trade Orthodoxy09:30 Jamieson Greer vs. USMCA10:40 Why Manufacturing Ecosystems Matter12:20 Industry, Science, and Technological Progress13:45 The Republican-Labor Coalition14:45 Mexico, Cartels, and Economic Sovereignty15:35 Canada and the Globalist Response16:10 Fortress America16:40 Final Thoughts SUPPORT PROMETHEAN ACTION OVERVIEWS!Keep Promethean Action Overviews 100% independent for just $10 a month.Your subscription funds every deep-dive into the principles of Western civilization that the mainstream would rather bury — sovereign nations, creative reason, the dignity of man.If you’re serious about reviving what made Western civilization great and want analysis that doesn’t bow to the consensus, subscribe now and stand with us.
