President Donald Trump’s pro-business agenda could send stock prices soaring in 2025, but not without some turbulence. Investment expert Alexander Green, in a candid chat with Bill O’Reilly, unpacked the economic landscape shaped by Trump’s policies.
Breitbart reported that Green, a Wall Street veteran and chief investment strategist at The Oxford Club, sees Trump’s tax cuts and deregulation as rocket fuel for markets. He pinpointed six stocks ready to ride the wave of these policies.
Yet, he’s waving a red flag on tariffs, warning they could spark inflation and trade wars. During Trump’s first term, eight million Americans hit millionaire status despite political headwinds.
Republicans now hold both houses of Congress, and the Federal Reserve is slashing interest rates. This trifecta sets a bullish stage for investors, Green argues.
Trump’s plan to slash the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15% is a game-changer. Lower taxes mean more cash for companies to hire, innovate, and expand. Green says this will draw international businesses to U.S. shores, boosting economic growth.
Corporate America is already flexing its muscle, with productivity expected to grow by at least 2% this year. The third quarter marked five straight quarters of robust gains, outpacing Europe’s 1.5% and Asia’s 1.8% in 2023. Technology and remote work are driving this efficiency surge.
Unlike Biden’s policies, which Green dismisses as irrelevant to these gains, Trump’s deregulatory push is set to supercharge productivity.
Overregulation costs consumers $12 trillion annually, and infrastructure projects now drag on for over a decade. Trump’s plan to cut 10 regulations for every new one could save billions.
Trump’s first term saw a rare net reduction in regulations, a feat unmatched by modern presidents. His latest pledge—expedited approvals for billion-dollar investments—has companies buzzing. “Get ready to rock!” Trump tweeted, signaling a business-friendly revolution.
Green’s optimism isn’t blind; he’s wary of Trump’s tariff proposals. Tariffs, he warns, are a tax on American consumers, not foreign firms. They inflate prices and let domestic companies hike costs without losing market share.
The stock market already flinched at Trump’s tariff talk, selling off when he doubled down. Green cites the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which deepened the Great Depression, as a grim reminder. He predicts public backlash will force Trump to scale back or scrap these plans.
U.S. workers are outpacing global rivals, with productivity up 2.7% in 2023. This isn’t just inflation-adjusted number-crunching; it’s real efficiency driven by automation and hybrid work models. Companies are investing heavily in tech and training, reaping rewards without passing costs to consumers.
The so-called Great Reshuffling has workers thriving in remote setups, cutting corporate office expenses. Green sees this as a structural shift, not a fad, fueling long-term gains. Progressive policies pushing bloated bureaucracies? They’re nowhere in this success story.
Trump’s vision, Green argues, aligns with this momentum. His policies promise higher wages, lower prices, and fatter profit margins. Corporate earnings should strengthen, pushing share prices upward in 2025.
However, tariffs could trigger retaliatory trade barriers, escalating into a full-blown trade war, but Trump is clearly confident in his course despite his critics' claims.
Despite tariff concerns, Green’s bullish on Trump’s broader agenda. “We’re going to bring back the American Dream… bigger, better, bolder,” Trump declared. Green believes the market will reward this ambition, provided tariffs don’t derail the party.
