1 Min Ago: Why Democrats Are Terrified of Trump's Market Rally | Warren Buffett

In this video, Warren Buffett analyzes the strange economic and political irony playing out in Washington: Democrats spent years predicting that Donald Trump’s tariffs and America First trade policy would collapse the stock market, wreck global trade, and crush the very workers he claimed to defend. Yet as Trump’s tariff strategy returns, the stock market has rallied, confidence is rising, and investors are behaving as if the so-called “catastrophe” never arrived.

From Buffett’s long-term, value-investor perspective, this is not just an economic story — it’s a psychological one. He walks through how Democratic leaders now insist that “the stock market is not the economy” after spending years using every market dip under Republicans as proof of reckless leadership. Senators and representatives dismiss record highs as “billionaires getting richer,” blame tariffs for price increases that actually came from the Biden–Harris inflation shock, and ignore the visible reality that households lost purchasing power long before tariffs were reimposed.

Warren Buffett breaks down how Trump’s tariffs functioned as leverage, not ideology:

Strategic tariffs used as bargaining chips with China, Mexico, and Canada

Record agricultural exports and improved terms for American producers

A partial manufacturing revival after decades of offshoring

Supply chains beginning to realign away from total dependence on Beijing

He contrasts this with the Biden era of soaring inflation, energy shocks, supply chain breakdowns, heavy regulation, and stimulus-driven price spikes that hurt working families far more than any tariff ever did. Democrats now attack tariffs as “taxes on Americans” while ignoring the role their own policies played in grocery bills, rent, energy costs, and declining real wages.

Buffett also explores a deeper shift: the modern Democratic Party has drifted from defending workers and industrial towns to defending the architecture of globalization — big tech, Wall Street asset managers, and multinational corporations that profit from cheap foreign labor and Chinese overcapacity. That’s why tariffs are demonized: they threaten a system that made the donor class rich while hollowing out the American heartland.

Across the episode, Warren Buffett highlights:

The collapse of three core Democratic assumptions: globalization is always good, technocratic managers are always competent, and Republican economic assertiveness always leads to disaster

Why Senator John Fetterman quietly admits tariffs on China are necessary, breaking the party line

How markets are reacting not just to tariffs, but to renewed confidence, regulatory relief, normalized energy policy, and a government that stops waging war on its own productive capacity

Why investors see Trump’s economic posture as lowering long-term risk by reasserting U.S. leverage and sovereignty

In the end, Buffett frames this as a simple test history always applies: policies either work or they don’t. Trump’s economic program — whatever its controversies — is stabilizing markets, rebuilding confidence, and reasserting American economic power. Biden’s did not. That’s why Democrats sound increasingly desperate: they are not only losing a policy debate, they are losing the narrative they built their identity on.

If you want a calm, long-horizon analysis of Trump’s tariffs, the stock market rally, Democratic denial, China, and the future of American economic sovereignty, this Warren Buffett–style breakdown is for you.
