2
found to resolve this paradox was to realize that actually the American economy was really set up for an extraordinary year in 2025. there was a strong baseline going in for the reasons we discussed and then a number of boosts even ahead of that that were much stronger than expected
3
coming through and those are the first of those sort of blue bars that we have up on the chart there. So starting from the baseline which we pull out of pre-Trump forecasts we then see that actually is a big boost from tax cuts. So there's more of that yet in 2026, but in 2025 there's
4
already some a boost from stock markets doing very well, which is partly fueled by by optimism about Trump to a degree, but really mostly fueled by the extraordinary advances in AI. And then
5
even beyond that, a specific kind of data center boom that we label AI capital expenditure that you can see in the numbers, too. And so off that baseline, we reckon were it not for the MAGA tax,
6
were it not for everything we're going to get to, America was set up to be kind of homing in on almost 3% GDP growth. And instead, what happened in 2025 was a lot closer to 2%. That's one way of getting to the the MAGA tax, the gap between the two. So the gap between the two is about 3/4 of
7
a percentage point. That's just just to to keep it simple. The American economy would have grown, you you think about 3/4 of a percentage point faster. Indeed. And so that's one way of doing it. The other way is just to look straight at what did Donald Trump do and how damaging was it? And
8
this is pulling together external estimates, our own crunching of the numbers and so on. We really pulled out three that we thought mattered. The first was tariffs. We talked about those to death. Those have, we reckon, genuinely contracted the economy. We've we've used an estimate there
9
of a sort of 0.2 percentage pointsish, but something pretty material. Just as important, if not more than the tariffs, we reckon was the immigration drag that border shutdown, mass deportations, towns of people not coming in, all of that. Then finally in our calculations
10
actually the largest of that was the uncertainty. So the sheer churn the sheer chaos and if you look at American business investment outside of the AI sector which has done really well it's actually in a slump. It's actually a slump even worse than what Britain suffered after Brexit which
11
was another similar shock to uncertainty. So you add all that up and you get to a similar figure of again 3/4 percentage point give or take but a pretty hefty mega attacks. What really struck me about this analysis was not only how rigorous it was, but also that it sort
12
of rings true with what we've been talking about that the things that we thought would hurt the US economy did indeed hurt it. But what is very striking, Charlotte, when I look at this chart is the impact both of the AI capex and the AI wealth effect. I mean, were it not for the AI boom,
13
the US economy would be in much worse shape. Do you want to talk through those two? Sure. So, um, there's been an enormous surge in investment from a few big tech companies, right? Just a
14
handful of them. And that has had a big effect that you've seen um, in their valuations and the stock market performance. And you've also seen a lot of spending on capital equipment. And this is something I thought was really interesting in your analysis was that part of why the the impact on
15
the economy was not greater actually is because so much of the investment on capital equipment is on imports from from elsewhere. And the thing that I as someone who you know thinks about at the
16
politics of this as well find so fascinating about the AI um the AI wealth effect and the AI capex and its contribute contribution to the topline numbers of America's economy is that the wealth
17
effect is not uh shared equally across all parts of American society and there's a huge uh brewing backlash against data centers against the politics of AI and so I think that one of the questions
18
that this administration faces uh is that it wants to take full credit for the economic numbers that we've seen that it could trump it as a success. Uh but voters are not giving them any credit for
19
it and I think the AI effects that you see in this chart are part of that reason. I was going to say that that um the AI effect in in a sense is a piece of luck but it's not exogenous to the
20
American economy. It actually is typical of the American economy. ability to mobilize financial resources and to plow and take risks is what makes the American economy so strong and this is the
21
latest example of it. I it makes perfect sense to me to strip out the positive effects of of AI but we do need to remember that is actually deep within the kind of DNA of the American economy.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
