WHY TRUMP IS TRYING TO CRASH

THE STOCK MARKET ABOUT 20%

1/ When stocks fall, investors move money into safer assets like US bonds.

2/ This prompts the Fed to cut interest rates to stabilize the economy.

3/ Lower interest rates help Trump refinance US debt at cheaper rates. It also makes other things cheaper.

4/ Trump uses tariffs to pressure companies to build in the US.

5/ If they build here, they avoid tariffs. Other countries respond with their own tariffs.

6/ This forces US farmers to sell more food locally — which means cheaper groceries.

7/ 94% of stocks are owned by only 8% of Americans — the wealthy.

8/ The stock market decline hurts the rich, but lower prices help everyday people.

9/ Trump keeps changing tariffs — one day 25% on Mexico, the next day none.

10/ This confuses the market and pushes money into bonds (safe but low return).
