#美国半导体关税 Trump is really panicking this time!

The United States owes 34 trillion dollars in foreign debt, and just the interest alone needs to be paid back 1 trillion each year, which is equivalent to throwing away the money for 3 aircraft carriers every day. With the Federal Reserve refusing to lower interest rates, Trump has flipped the table—threatening to impose a 60% tariff on Chinese goods and even threatening to withdraw from the WTO and sanction European car companies!

This move is simply playing with fire! On the surface, it seems tough on external matters, but in reality, it's self-harm. Once the news broke, the U.S. was the first to suffer: the stock market plummeted, companies laid off employees, and the unemployment rate skyrocketed, with an economic crisis on the verge of breaking out. What is Trump really calculating? He wants to force the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, saving 200 billion in interest payments while also boosting housing and stock prices to please his backers.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this tactic is full of holes! 70% of the U.S. stock market is made up of domestic investors; crashing the market is equivalent to cutting off one's own financial future. What’s even scarier is that if China and Japan stop buying U.S. debt, the U.S. government will immediately run out of resources. How could someone like Powell, a seasoned financial expert, be scared by such threats? Monetary policy is no joke.

In the end, Trump is just posturing. With the 2024 election approaching, does he really dare to crash the economy? No matter how you look at it, this gamble is a certain loss!
