In this conversation, Elijah Johnson speaks with Doomberg, a prominent financial contributor on Substack, discussing the implications of Donald Trump’s recent election victory on various sectors. Doomberg explains how Trump’s win signals a shift in political power, with mainstream media and the climate change agenda losing their influence, particularly as many in the industry privately question the climate change narrative. They discuss the potential impacts on the energy sector, highlighting how Trump’s administration could boost oil, natural gas, and nuclear energy, while undermining the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) movement. They also explore the future of inflation, with Doomberg forecasting a mix of inflationary and deflationary pressures under the new administration, noting that Trump’s pro-manufacturing policies could lead to inflationary forces, particularly through tariffs and a potential reshoring of jobs. The discussion touches on the broader geopolitical landscape, suggesting that peace efforts could reduce energy price volatility, with oil potentially trending downward despite geopolitical tensions.
