President Trump now believes "short term pain" is his ONLY option to lower inflation and refinance $9+ trillion of US debt.
We have seen over -$5 TRILLION erased from US stocks with the goal of LOWERING rates.
Will it work?
Simultaneously, President Trump wants to reduce the US trade deficit.
This is the whole point behind his global trade war.
Trump's strategy of levying tariffs on almost ALL US trade partners is lowering GDP growth estimates.
This also sounds like a recessionary case.
On top of this, DOGE and Trump are attempting to cut TONS of government jobs.
These are the same jobs that have accounted for much of the recent job "growth" in the US.
Government jobs have risen by 2 million over the last 4.5 years.
Cutting these jobs will spur a recession.
Sum this all up, and here's what Trump wants:
1. Lower inflation
2. Lower oil prices (for #1)
3. Lower interest rates
4. Less deficit spending
5. Reduced US trade deficit
6. Less government inefficiency
ALL of these can be obtained by, or are a byproduct of, economic weakness.
