#国会议员交易限制 Trump is really anxious this time!

The United States owes $34 trillion in foreign debt, and just the interest alone has to be paid back $1 trillion every year, which is equivalent to throwing away the cost of 3 aircraft carriers every day. Seeing that the Federal Reserve absolutely refuses to cut interest rates, Trump has gone all in—threatening to impose a 60% tariff on Chinese goods, and even threatening to withdraw from the WTO and sanction European car manufacturers!

This move is simply playing with fire! On the surface, it seems tough on the outside, but in reality, it is self-harm. Once the news broke, the United States suffered first: the stock market plummeted, companies laid off workers, and the unemployment rate soared, with an economic crisis on the verge of breaking out. What is Trump trying to calculate? He wants to force the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, saving $200 billion in interest payments, while also boosting housing and stock prices to please his financiers.

But anyone with clear eyes can see this move is full of loopholes! 70% of the U.S. stock market is made up of domestic investors; crashing the market is equivalent to cutting off their own financial lifeline. Even more frightening is that if China and Japan stop buying U.S. debt, the U.S. government will immediately run out of funds. How could Powell, this financial veteran, possibly be scared by such threats? Monetary policy is not a game.

In the end, Trump is just bluffing. With the 2024 election approaching, does he really dare to collapse the economy? This gamble is clearly a losing game!
